Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II back from Canon service

My brand-new Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II is back from Canon service and I’m disappointed to report that the color fringing I had previously remarked upon is indeed inherent to the optical design. Or at least that’s the case if one assumes that the lens is performing to specification, which is only reasonable given that I had sent it into Canon Service with a complaint of strong color fringing on one side.
