I have been taking some shots with my Tamron at longer focal lengths. It seems like I wind up with CA often. Is it possible to buy a better lens and get rid of this or is PP the only route? What will the 'better' lens set a fellow back. Here is an example...I'm sure I can edit this to fix the CA, but I'd rather not have to.

I've deleted the duplicate for you and am moving this to the lens section.

Depending on your budget, you might try the DA55-300 if that's the range you want. If you want to go all out and have 300mm, I can highly recommend the DA*300..

The CA from the Tamron can be edited out but as you state, it can be a pain to deal with in Every shot. One thing you can try to avoid it is stopping the lens down some.

The DA*300 in a similar situation.. (no correction needed)
