Haven't tried the plug-ins yet, but a simple technique, described at:

...works reasonably well in Photoshop Elements 5.

I've cropped the top robin from my earlier shot; here it is:
I think it is Purple Fringing.
CAs normally show a purple area on one side and a green area on the other.
CAs can be quite easily corrected in Photoshop (Filter-lens correction), but PF cannot.
Try to correct the above in Photoshop. It will not work.
A satisfying explanation for PF is still needed. Various explanations float around.

What for what?

But why do you use spot metering anyway?
Matrix metering works very good.

As it isn't one of their listed accessories I was concerned as to why!
Metering goes through this screen.

Just got the response from Pentax via their head office in Germany. They confirmed that there is a back focussing problem with the 21mm Limited exclusively.
I shoot a lot with the DA21/K10 and never had this problem. I recently tested it extensively because someone reported a front focus problem at short distances.
No problems so far.

Pentax Germany said so.
They think that full production can start in June.
