Chromatic abberations Micro Nikkor 105mm?

I bought a Micro Nikkor 105mm AF-S lens. I'm getting a lot of chromatic aberrations, especially in high contrast areas (black-white, white-black). Wondering if anyone else has had these problems. Is it normal?

Check out this picture:

I took the picture at F/16, so the lens was stepped down. I know CA is normal at wide openings, but I'm not sure about F/16.

Do I have a bad copy of the lens? Lightroom does a good job removing the CA, but when I have a bit higher contrast I always have to fix it with lightroom.

I never had such problems with the Nikkor 50mm lens. I would be very grateful for any help.

At those small apertures and apparently with nikkor micro's, CA seems to be a problem. Let me ask you, did you ask this same question at an earlier date?

EDIT: I have heard this before, and that is why I asked why you had asked this before

I just checked with Lightroom 3.6 for any automatic modifications made by Adobe when the 105 mm macro lens is used. All I can see is a slight modification at the edges of the frame that lightens a slight vignetting of that lens.

"Secondary Chromatic Aberration is what's left when primary chromatic aberration is corrected. Now the middle of the spectrum, green, is doing different things than the two ends, red and blue. This has never been completely corrected, with the exception of true apochromatic lenses. The lenses sold to photographers for less than a month's salary aren't really apochromatic. Nikon's ED glass likewise was invented to minimize this. Secondary chromatic aberration manifests itself as green/magenta artifacts" -- Ken Rockwell

People sometimes call this "purple fringing".

When processing RAW files in Lightroom, any of this type aberration is corrected if you enable lens profile correction.

NOTE: I just talked to a colleague and he says that different sensors record different amounts of this aberration. The higher quality the sensor, the more any lens flaws will show up.

Since macro lenses by design are not supposed to have this flaw, I would call Nikon and ask them

800.NIKON-UX If could be that one of their lenses passed QC that should not have
