Is your bee shot cropped? If it's not I would say that level of fringing is pretty extreme.
Are you getting the fringing with other lenses?

That was cropped - using my Makro lens.
I cropped it a hell of a lot.
Not sure about other lenses as the others cannot take such close ups

its probably fine then
shooting on higher f-stop reduces fringing too

Cool thanks
A method that was recommended to me to test bineys was to look at the edge of a whitish building against the sky. The PF shows up pretty well in bineys with poor lenses/prisms. You can try the same by taking a shot like that. What also shows it up is taking a shot of smallish branches in a tree through which you can see the sky.
Remember, camera shake can also cause some fringing, and the pic you show is not the steadiest on the planet. I have a Sigma 105 and the optics are *superb*.
