Yea I'm working on some glass too. I want my Zeiss 25 F2 back and/or get a really outstanding stitching lens. Like to try those new SK glass or maybe a Mirex system. Have to do some research on it.I had a good mentor! Speaking seriously, I wanted it and wanted to be totally familiar with it before our next workshop :toocool:
Not a stitch. Cropped. Corners contained just water and sky ... so I wasn't dealing curvature all the way out there. Just at the edges.Is that a stitch or a single shot?
I'm talking about field curvature, not distortion. LR does seem to handle the lens's modest distortion quite well.LR5 has automatic distortion correction for that lens...
Further to Paul's response to your post, why do you consider it necessary to correct distortion of images prior to stitching? It is not required by stitching software.If it is a stitch, you have to correct each shot before stitching and then again after stitching.
If they are not individually corrected, they wouldn't match, would they?Carlos,

The question is not if image distortion should be corrected - obviously it must be if images are to overlap exactly with their neighbours - it is if distortion should be corrected manually as well as by stitching software, as Carlos apparently does, or solely by stitching software.If they are not individually corrected, they wouldn't match, would they?
But it looks just like any other boring Nikkorand here it is...
This is the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 58mm f/1.4G lens | Nikon Rumors
or perhaps not entirely yet.... looks like an interesting lens.
For some reason, there are very few f/1.2 fiftysomething mm lenses that I like, particularly not the bokeh. That includes the 50mm f/1.2 AIS and the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 L. I suspect that it's difficult to make an f/1.2 lens that has a nice bokeh iwde open without it being unacceptably large or by using very exotic lens technology.I agree, a 58mm f1.2 would have been nicer.
I'm thinking along the same lines that it may be a nice portrait lens for dx cameras.
Or even a nice video lens for fx?
+1 Watch the bokeh in that video. Hope they make the video available in HD.Some of the samples are really good looking. I want one!
