I really hope they sort it out as its a great bit of software and the V5 tweaks look worth it technical issues aside. I use it with the film pack 1.1 when I shoot with my D50. ) It does seem to be quite a bit of problem with DXO 5 on Windows. The only thing between me and a new D300 is DXO support for D300 and Mac. I would just urge anyone to read the forums at DXO before buying right now. The DXO approach to lens correction is very good and it allows me to get the most from my equipment.
DXO OPTICS PRO REVIEW KEN ROCKWELL UPGRADE
I used DXO v4.5 with my D50 and will certainly get v5.0 but only when:Ī) support for the D300 is added still not thereī) they sort out all the V5 teething issues.ĭXO forums are full of annoyed people who paid for upgrade or full product and its simply not working. I am reading into Capture NX because D300 isn't supported yet and I really want to get a D300. My combo is D40 + 18-200 mm.Ĭheck whether if your camera/lens combo is supported here. I got it on August and it has saved me a lot of time in post-processing.

The Samyang 12mm f/2.8 ED AS IF NCS UMC Fisheye Lens (also available under the Rokinon brand) is a manual focus. I think this is unfair and reflects as much on the limited vision of -some- photographers, as it does on the actual lens type. It does automatic distortion correction specific to the camera/lens combo. Fisheye lenses tend to be dismissed as ‘one trick ponies’ by a lot of photographers. Theoretically you should only have to do this once for each focal length /lens. Keep in mind the fact that individual lenses will probably deviate from their test lenses as well and may require a bit more or less tweaking.Īnother thought, a test target common to all your tested lenses might offer some advantage in speed when it comes to correction. Those data are for Photoshop, I am looking similar thing for CNX, since the units of correction are different. It corrects perfectly with -2.4.Ģ00 mm: Minor pincushion. It corrects perfectly with -3.0.ġ35 mm: Pincushion. It corrects perfectly with -3.0.ġ05 mm: Pincushion. It corrects perfectly with -3.9.ĩ0 mm: Pincushion. It corrects perfectly with -3.8.ħ0 mm: Strong pincushion. It corrects perfectly with -3.5.ĥ0 mm: Strong pincushion. Mike, I am doing what you say, but is time-consuming and some times there are no parallel lines or something similar to make sure the correction made is OK.ģ5 mm: Strong pincushion. Of course different focal lengths of a Zoom lens may require a different amount of distortion and CA correction. then as the first step of an editing process you can run the apprpriate batch operation and automatically correct for distortions and CA for all the images with that lens and focal length. 9.0/10 average of 3 review (s) Build Quality 9.7/10 Image Quality 8.7/10. I think the thing to do there is carefully work up the amount of correction you want for each lens you own and save them as a batch process to be used with each lens. Tokina 80-200mm f/2.8 AT-X 828 AF PRO User Reviews. Though i suppose if something like that did exist one could fine tune the range for your lens and save it as a step for a batch process. If you are talking Pincushion or Barrel distortion they would vary from 1 lens to the next and any table would involve some adjustment within a range per individual lens anyhow. The only lens adjustments available in NX are part of the Base adjustments menu and include a Vignette adjustment and the fisheye adjustment that can only be used on the DX 10.5mm fisheye. It would be nice if we could use some data to correct more precisely, as a table or something like that, wich would relate focal distance and distortion. I have the Nikko r18-200 and I correct the distortion every time by a "visual approach". Nikon D700, 1/25sec at f/6.I wonder if is there any data, official or from users, on this. Image: This handheld shot makes use of the Sigma 105mm f/2.8’s optical stabilisation. The most notable addition is the optical stabilisation, which has resulted in a much larger, heavier optic and a higher price. The new Sigma 105mm f/2.8 has been completely overhauled to bring it in line with the Sigma 150mm f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Macro. The lens was last updated in 2004, when it was optimised for digital camera sensors.Īpart from some re-chipping to make it compatible with more recent cameras, the lens has remained unchanged. The Sigma 105mm f/2.8 has long been regarded as one of the best macro lenses for its price. The focal length is long enough to provide some distance between you and the subject without the field of view and higher price of a 200mm optic. Anyone who has considered buying a macro lens in the past 19 years will probably have looked at a 105mm macro.
