Correct Perspective In Photoshop

If you need (or want) to correct perspective in-camera, or want the extended depth-of-field that tilting can give you, then this is a great lens. Super sharp and beautifully made.

The ability of selectively focusing - not perpendicular to lens- and the correct or distort perspective really changes possibilities. also a very good close-up lens.

As soon as I learned how to use a view camera, I became disappointed in my 35mm because it lacked some of the controls available in large format. Notably, one could not correct perspective distortion or achieve a deep field of focus under some conditions. With this lens, control returns. Although it is possible to correct some perspective distortion in image-editing software, this is achieved at the expense of sharpness, and results in incorrect proportions. Also, using image-editing software to achieve correction results in losing image area - the more correction applied, the more you lose. There is no way to achieve the kind of depth-of-focus possible with this lens through image-editing software. While it may be possible to get great depth-of-field by stopping down, sharpness starts to fall off as diffraction sets in. The tilt and shift features of this lens allow great flexibility and control. The ability to rotate the axis of operation of these features is a big bonus. This lens is incredibly sharp, produces images with great color and contrast, and offers the side-benefit of sharing the filter size of the Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8L II USM. I feel like I have my view camera back. I don't have to stretch images in an image editor to correct perspective distortion - I can do it in-camera, maximizing the image area recorded. The ability to tilt the lens for increased depth-of-focus opens up new ground for my landscape photography. Now I can shoot at large lens openings and get everything from the flowers at my feet to the mountains on the horizon in perfect focus, without diffraction or loss of sharpness!

A real surprise packet photos taken so far on auto mode no real need to correct in Photoshop. The manual appears to be fairly easy to understand and I am looking forward to working my way through it. I originally bought this thinking if I like it would upgrade to a PL3 but am so pleased with this will probably add the other lens, flash and view finder. The minus, on/off button too close to shutter button and lcd monitor not clear enough but maybe that is adjustable

I use this ultra wide fisheye for interiors and correct lens distortion using adobe raw or photoshop or sometimes both. Because focus is not a big issue, the lens is great for getting interiors done quickly in terms of shooting but a bit more work in post.

To give your photos the perfect perspective, this is something that you must have.

This is definitely a niche lens but fun to use. It provides a very different perspective.

A must have for editing in photoshop!
