Love the first one.

Nice. I would be inclined to bring up the brightness in the breast region, but great capture.

I am not sure here. If we take the example of a aps-c specific Pentax lens that has bad vignetting on FF the FF user has two options.... to use aps-c mode in camera or to use FF mode and crop in pp.

if one were taking jpegs in-camera the Pentax built-in profiles only would be applied in aps-c mode. So any other software that used the Pentax lens correction parameters would struggle to apply them to a FF image ? How a third party profile would behave I have no idea. Would someone create a FF profile for a aps-c specific lens?

I am thinking here specifically in relation to distortion correction, but also consider vignetting correction. the format is of utmost importance here.


I really have no idea and suggest the best thing to do is perform a number of test shots and then test them in pp to find the answer.

Congratulations on a well deserved entry. And good luck for a hopefully brief "rest"

Nicely done

For any waverers. If I did not already own this lens, I would bite John's hand off at that price.

Ted approves

...you will regret it

I won't part with mine.

Plenty of recommendations for the FA 50mm 1.4/1.7. Get a second hand one for under £200. A great performer and lightweight too.

My hands have never been so clean.
