Some lenses have a definite tint to them. Radioacive lenses often turn yellow over the years. I doubt that either of these lenses is radioactive, though.
What happens with the colors if you use the same aperture and shutter speed for both lenses?
No yellow tint. Read a post on the Net a while back about someone using the Jansjo lights, shining them into the lens for xx hours, to remove the yellow tint.
Will try using the same aperture on both lens next time around to see the results.

Another thing I noticed about this lens is that if it is exactly in focus, color fringing is minimal, but any slight off-focus (barely noticeable to the eye) will lead to pretty bad color fringing.
Interesting. I'll have to spend some time comparing lenses, hopefully there are no issues. But the Nikkor does yield sharper images overall so far. Still, I need to make the whole setup more stable for macro pics. A $1,000 lens can't overcome vibrations in the camera or mounting system.
Just found an article where someone (David Hunt) used a hacked flatbed scanner, now disassembled with a camera mounted in it, to take stacked photos. I would think that's not stable enough but his pics looked just fine.
