It is called Photoshop.


Oh, you can do better than that, much better, with Photoshop. And if you use CornerFix, it will get even better.
But the thing is that I prefer to use a lens that does not need those corrections!

Is it just me who prefers to see photographs that have been exposed correctly in the first place without resorting to Photoshop/Lightroom/Capture1 etc to make up for the shortcomings? I ca see a time coming when all we have to do is point our phone at something, dial in a program and hey presto, instant wonders with zero effort?

No, as I said, it's not only you. I think the same.

Yes of course, I'm afraid I didn't word my reply adequately. There seems to be a trend to just snap away at anything and rely on computer programs to make something useful out of the results. Smile

Hmmm, interesting perspective. Without consideration to HDR, there are many situations where either a light or dark area will be poorly exposed. In the past we would guess how much to compensate in one direction or the other. I have made a habit of underexposing by 0.7 because I find the dark easier to correct than the light areas. I don't like blown out whites. Digital and software like Photoshop give us those abilities to correct for unintended and even intended exposure deviations. I don't at all consider it a lack of effort; on the contrary, it is a strategy for dealing with exposure challenges and limitations. But despite this difference in our approach, I like to control the exposure, as you folks do, and as such I never shoot in full auto mode, auto ISO, etc. And as we all know, my lenses are manual as well. Software is the darkroom and using it is a skill in itself.

With digital is ETR and that's all, folks. If you pay attention to not clip any RGB channel, PP and correcting the exposure is the easy part of the story - and you gain more details on the shadows also. Get the sensor full of data without clipping to have something to work with later, the more, the best,

The point I'm trying to make, not that it's that important anyway, is that for some it's a case of snap away and do 90% in PP. For sure, error can be corrected but too often I see lazy pictures where the taker has relied on software to create a picture rather than their own intuition.Some of these examples are just unreal in their rendition.
Each to their own though, we're not going to move back to the old days of bracketing and finding correct exposure. Whatever floats your boat. Just as well slide film is more or less defunct. Confused

Omar, what is the 28/2.0 Distagon version do you have? Is it Contax or Z? Just wondering how much differs Contax hollywood from modern Distagon 28/2.0 Zx.

Thanks. 28/2.0 is in my wish list but after Distagon 35/1.4 Very Happy

Soligor 17/4
I never used this lens much on aps-c since the kit lens was far lighter.
But it makes a lot of sense now to use it on FF.

Soligor 17/4 again

I'm getting very surprised with this lens.
It seems to perform far beyond my expectation of it (thought it was a wrong buy on aps-c)
It seems to look sharp enough that I don't have much to grumble over, though the real judgement would be to compare with a more 'reputable' UWA lens on the same camera.
