A tip: If shooting WIDE and getting a lot of convergence - don't shoot too tight or you won't have room for the correction and will end up cropping bits off in the process! |
Having just practised with correcting the verticals, I noted that I had lost corner detail and some top detail. I also noted that I ought to stand back a little or zoom out a little in future so as to retain what I want from the corrected version.
I agree that some convergence would make the image appear as seen by our eyes.
I really should have posted the before and after of the Daliesque snaps that I referred to above. The verticals on the outside of the images almost met in the centre of the image forming a triangle. I don't know why I kept the RAW images but am glad now that I did.
Hope I have not moved the thread too far away from an appreciation of what is obviously a super lens. Glad that I did from a purely personal view.
