Seb,

What a great place and you choose good angles of view; the whole makes a nice series. I have already been around this building, but never entered it.

Thanks Vivek. It was late yesterday, when I came home and I see now what you mean. Unfortunately I wasn't able to pay attention to angles and had to make most shots not-leveled because of opportunities (the guide was a drill master in her previous live :D ). But a few minutes more in post processing wouldn't be the worst either. :) Especially on no2 and no5... I'll give them a second look and update it on flickr when it is done.

Thanks Barry and Annna. You can visit the whole brewery. It was the annual excursion of our company and there was no time to choose much or use a tripod. I'm happy with what I got, but next time, there should be more time and also a few shots from the distance to see the whole building in one.

Edit: Thanks Vivek, did updated the two.

I was having fun with long lenses on the solstice, though clouds prevented my capture of the full moon rising behind this scene. I'll just have to be patient and attempt it again in the 22nd century. :watch:

Most of the power plant of Nendaz isn't visible; it is underground, dug inside of the mountain. You can only see three big gates and a smaller window a little higher in the rock wall above the passover. The pass over has nothing to do with the plant; it is for a natural gas pipeline (the gas comes from Italy through the Alps and is distributed further in Western Switzerland).

This lens seems to suffer quite a bit of pincushion distortion.
Correcting for it, as in the following image, sacrifices a lot of image area. :banghead:
Hi K-H, This could be a manifestation of astigmatism (if that is case, Kolari mod would lessen it!) and not pincushion distortion. Drop a line to Dr. Brian Caldwell who can pin point it.

Thanks Vivek, I did. He doesn't think astigmatism is the culprit.
Do any tests come to mind to explore this issue further? TIA.

Thanks, K-H! :)

I am glad that you did and post the answer you got.

The issue you raised with your examples is very intriguing (if you have access to the Kolari mod cam, please do try).

The search for an answer continues.
