I did a test; where I see the most CA is when taking trees with a bright sky behind. The test was done on the same tree, same conditions, ISO100, 1/400s, ƒ/5.6 200mm. The first picture, and crop, uses the 'kit' telephoto lens. The second uses an allegedly quality lens costing around $1,100. Like the original poster, I'm not terribly impressed with the lens I borrowed. What do you guys think?
