Hi Adam,
As I understand it, as you go out further towards the edges of an image
circle, the reds, greens and blues hit the pixel sights at ever increasing
(in nano seconds no doubt!) increments. Thus the colors begin to separate.
You start to to get more red and less green as you go further out. I
actually have to address this quite significantly on my Alpa because I move
the digital back from right, to middle to left across the image circle for
a pano It is known that "lens cast" is a problem for MFDB on tech cameras
where shifting is used quite often. CaptureOne has a Lens Cast Correction
feature just for this.

At some point in shooting a venue, I put an opaque white piece of plastic
in front of the lens. I then take an exposure, usually two stops more open
than the exposure that I'm using for the image; and using the shutter speed
to open up, not the aperture). These LCC shots are then used in CaptureOne
to even out both the vignetting and the color cast. I also use the middle
of the shot that is taken through this opaque device as a white balance and
it works pretty well.

Seems Fuji has somehow allowed a user to adjust in the camera for third
party lenses that aren't already corrected by them and that are using their
X mount to M mount adapter.
Clear as mud? :-)
Bob
