Fisheye Correction ?

Took the Pentax 10 - 17mm 'fishy' to work to include a picture or two into a report I was writing.
Someone said the fisheye effect was making them dizzy, so I tried PTLens to "correct" them, turned out better than I thought.

I have no association with PTLens, other than owning a copy, but I was impressed with what it offered, I'm still a 'fisheye' fan, so don't know how much I will use it, but it did the job I asked of it.

Just thought I would share my experience.

p.s. these are machines that clean and disinfect endoscopes.

How large are these endoscopes?

I'm intrigued as to how PTLens put some wall in on either side of the machines that wasn't there in the original?

If you had more depth in the picture, you would still see distortion, like an increase in the apparent distance. Take a picture of a bench with a fisheye, then "de-fish" the image, and look at the apparent depth of the seat, you'll see what I mean.
