However, there was a very slight "aesthetic crop" off both left and right

This bold, highly saturated shade of red can be very difficult for digital sensors to read without blowing out details.
However, negative EC usually corrects this problem inside the camera.
Digital sensors seem to also have the same difficulty with the same color intensity of yellows .
