    Software is doing so much work in post anyway for most photographs that it sort of makes sense that we are getting more lens corrections...

    Nice series. I especially like the 2nd shot. :)

    The image is stretched first, and after that stretching it is 4000 pixels high (for the 24 MP sensor in your example) and wider than...

    The one coming to mind most affected was a time laps video of a sunset I shot on a Z9 with a 15-35 f4 S lens. The sky was bright orange...

    First time seeing a Hermit Thrush, taken with my Canon R10 and RF 100-400

    Beautiful shot. Clear view of the subject. Nicely done!

    I'm glad to see some quantitative data on corner stretching. So for the 14-35 at 14 mm, the amount of distortion is 5.3%. This results...

    But that’s where I get confused. It can’t be cropped down to 6000 on the horizontal because there are only 6000 pixels to start. So it...

    To take it one additional step further... What about perspective, vignetting, exposure and cropping corrections applied in darkrooms in...
  • neuroanatomist
    Maybe just skip the examples. What would even be the point of an 18/4.5 lens? But I get your point. I’d say it’s a factor for those who...

    I'm just curious how vignetting ruined landscape shots. Apart from the astro landscape niche discussed at length on other threads, my...

    Spring is trying to spring here in the midwest USA, but cold temps return this weekend. Nice temps today, and the (sort of) trilling of...

    The choice of my examples is not great, here you are right,, long focal lengths are easyer to correct - So lets think about 18mm f/4.5...
  • justaCanonuser
    I guess the progress in computer based design, new optical materials and coatings will go hand in hand with a deeper digital correction...

    I would go one step further... Your entire image with digital cameras is created with a series of digital corrections. Your sensor is...

    My take, Canon is trolling us, knowing someone would take a pic, but just using an R1 casing for testing out features for future cameras...
  • neuroanatomist
    Yes, what you say makes no sense. I’m not sure who is saying the image quality is better, there is a difference between better and not...
  • Malm
    That is my work-around at the moment. And that is also the reason why I worry that a much stronger image correction might create...
  • neuroanatomist
    Yes, it’s cropped…after the distortion correction stretches it out. Because of the 3:2 aspect ratio, correcting the distortion stretches...

    And I thought that these 'digital correction' allows for a better image quality as most writers assume. And now I can only use these...

    I'll happily take them. No one notices and the lenses are lighter. The only time they have bothered me was when pushing some very low...

    Main thing I don’t understand with the Digital Corrections is how they can clearly make a physical crop of the original image and...
  • neuroanatomist
    Yes, let's go back to the good old days when men were men and lenses were lenses. When real men looked through real viewfinders. When...

    Were you not stopping down? I thought that was typical for landscape shooting? Slippery slope fallacy?
