Graphics and photography have been Apple's chasse gardee for years but for quite some time, MS Windows is on par with the Mac and the system of choice for photographers boils down to personal preferences more than anything else. But what about Linux? "My goal with this entry is to brush a big picture of where Linux stands as far as photography is concerned," Joel Cornuz explains, "What are the achievements, where improvements are needed and being worked on, and which pieces are still missing."

3 lenses for Macro? You mean filters? Generally not very high quality, a dedicated macro lens is a much better option. Macro is my specialty area btw.
Your basic answer to the OP of buying a better lens is basically correct - cheaper lenses do not focus each primary colour to the same focus point. Canon's L series lenses are pretty good, Nikon has lenses that are pro grade as well, and minimise fringing etc. There are a few software options as well. Nikon's recent D3 has its expeed chip, which also does some software related fixes on fringing with its images.
