Thanks for the link, got the profiles. I did not adjust them - and today I just used the distortion correction version. The weather here is far to soggy to fine-tune any CA.
@Qwerty64
Thanks. Yep, if I have the patience I\'d use Liveview, but for most of the time I dont :-). I have thought about a split-image but would like to find a MkII so I can test it first. What is \"Angle Finder C\"? But also take a look at the crops below, I think you can get really far with an adapter too - used as I described above.
@dbehrens
Thanks. I\'ve heard about PT-lens but if I can avoid it I would like to skip any additional software. Do you know if it performs better than the profiles in ACR - or have more tuning possibilities?
Anyway, I went out today to take a few shots. The weather is lousy, it just started to snow again here in Stockholm after at least downtown had been snow-free for a week. So with that in mind, here are a few examples.
Image with corrected distortion in ACR (via profile from the link davidrwilliasm posted). Looks fine to me.
For reference, here it is untouched
Sorry for the lack of artistery here, but this is more to show the sharpness this lens has, take a look on the crop below. F/4.5. This church-tower did not look very straight without the correction. Handheld, AF set with the AF-confirm chip.
Heres a 100% crop. If you disregard the snowflakes I am pretty impressed with the sharpness.
To me it\'s quite impressive wide-open too. Here\'s a F/2.8-shot with some of the few outdoor flowers available at this time a year. This one is not corrected distortion-wise. I dont think it matters on a picture like this. It even adds something... again handheld, AF-confirm works well.
...and here\'s the 100%crop F/2.8. Bokeh is fair-enough on a crop, but truly ok fullsize. (No noise reduction applied)
