I know this is old but I think I figured out the problem. No, I didn't use any filters but there seems to be a slight defect with my lens.
It's possible for it to slide out of f22 to something between f22 and f16. This overexposes images yet it still works at this setting. The aperture lock on it is a bit dodgy.
I just make sure it's always set to f22 now. Problem solved.
- Oh and the overexposure seems to make the fringing worse on objects that wouldn't normally fringe all that badly.kalkal

are you using a UV filter?

Oh, that's interesting though, how would you go about only changing the contrast of midtones? Never seen a tool to do that in photoshop. It's obviously all there for colours in "colour balance".

- I've only seen a tool specifically for this in Nik Color Efex (tonal contrast)kalkal
- Oh.
I almost thought I'd learn something new then :(kalkal

so does this happen with other lens?
and is your lens clean? both the front element and back element?

No and yes and it's fixed already! Just posted the solution to any poor googeling souls who might have come across this thread.
- The videos and images will also assure anyone in distress about the same problem too, surely.kalkal
- what you posted sure doesn't sound like the source of the probelm or the solution....betelgeuse

- what you posted doesn't fit the bill....betelgeuse
- I even took it into a photoshop to talk about it. They said there have been a couple of cases like this happen that they knew aboutkalkal
- sorry, camera shop!kalkal
- Anyway, problem solved and on the matter of cleanless, I take a lot of care with my equipmentkalkal
- And theres no mold growing or anything like that, no scratches etc.kalkal

chromatic abberation.. try photographing a tree in bright light, see of the edges of the tree branches on the edges of your frame have this blue glow edge, or "purple fringing" as it's called....
if so, get a different lens, or shoot in less edge-contrasty situations...
the fog over everything may just be flare... and/or the lens was dropped and elements are out of alignment....
- dxoptics.com has a chromatic aberation filter.. but you may be expecting the impossible from your lensvaxorcist

miosture has entered your lens.
if possible, store in a plastic tub with lid in a cool dry place with an open box of baking soda and a bowl of rice and some of those do not eat silica packs if you can get to them
overnight should do it

chromatic aberration typically happens when you shoot wide open or stopped down. also zoom lens are much more prone to it.

what lens are you using? and what f stop were you shooting at?
where in the frame did this occur? in the corners or in the center?

i heard this happens only with digital cameras
true?

like ok_not_ok said, get the 1.4 or just replace it. @ < $100 I wouldn't count on it holding up for more than a year or two anyway.
Or try the moisture thing. Also, is it more exaggerated around the corners, or even over the entire image?
- Also, try a different lens and see if you get the same issue... although I'd be surprised to find you do.DoTheMacarena
