I just purchased the Canon 300mm F4L IS.
I noticed that wide open in high contrast I was seeing a decent amount of purple fringing around edges. Is this normal for this lens? I tested 2 samples and both were new.
Here are some shots;
Wide open - crop of Chase Bank letters in sunlight.

Another bran new sample that was received this week;
