Lens correction

If you want to find out about the quality of lenses you should refer to the dxomark website.
http://www.dxomark.com//

It is a complete database of new lenses including most prices.
Search Digital Cameras by Features and Specifications | Neocamera

Neocamera provides a better search for features of lenses.

Dxomark provides lens databases and lens correction software that is most complete.

For commercial software, Adobe Photoshop's Lightroom is good. You can download a trial version for 30 days.

To know more about lens corrections you can read this website.
 http://photographylife.com/lightroom-lens-corrections

It will direct you to the free software on how to create lens profiles yourself.
I followed the tutorials and managed to correct my Sony NEX3N pictures because its lens database is available there but didn't commit because I don't see much point. Probably my camera did the correction itself when it processed the RAW to JPEG.


For the free version, Lensfun is the software. It uses panotools as its base so it is also supported by Hugin and other commercialised software.

You can create your own lens profile for Lensfun and therefore ufraw.

If you are lazy, you can upload the test pictures to this website in order for it to calculate your lens profiles.

Other RAW mode processing software mentioned there are:
 Darktable, Rawstudio, digiKam, Imagemagick.
What is not mentioned in Ufraw which I actually test and quite easy to use but not its lens correction facility.  I have difficulty because I don't have the lens profile for my camera, a Sony NEX3N.

the best review of Sony A7r II

Review: The a7R II is the Best Camera Sony Has Ever Made Home » EDITORIAL » Review: The a7R II is the Best Camera Sony Has Ever Made Posted By Jaron Schneider on Aug 18, 2015 | 16 Comments It’s been a long, interesting, often frustrating and ultimately an incredibly rewarding journey watching Sony go from fledgling camera maker to likely the most feared manufacturer today. They have come a really long way, and what at first seemed like strange decisions have culminated now into an incredibly well-conceived long term plan. As disappointed as I was in the Sony a7R, the a7S gave me hope that there was much to love about their future. Now, the Sony a7R II is that future, and it’s a brilliant camera that, though not without its flaws, is easily the best overall camera Sony has ever produ   The Sony a7R II is built extremely well, and feels great in hand. If you have held the a7 II, you already know what I mean. The grip isn’t the absolute best on the market...

Kelda vs Samyang 8mm f3.5 fisheye lenses

Review, Tested: Kelda 8mm f/3.5 Fisheye Lens for Nikon Posted on March 12, 2015 by lui_gough Fisheye lenses are pretty special when it comes to lenses. Their extreme distortion effect serves to be a novelty, which is sometimes overused , and can prove to be a handy feature to squeeze in extreme fields of view, or to ease 360-degree panorama photo-taking. The number of fisheye options for DSLRs have generally be limited, and it was hard for many to justify spending real money on a real fisheye lens. In terms of options, the one I like most is the Samyang 8mm f/3.5 fisheye (~AU$380), available under a range of different rebadge names such as Bower, Pro-Optic, Rokinon, Opteka, Vivitar, Falcon, Polar, Walimex and Bell and Howwell. In fact, I liked it so much that I owned one for Canon and one for Nikon! The other that’s widely known is a Zenitar 16mm f/2.8 fisheye (~AU$260), which is more suited for full-frame users, and isn’t as nice when it comes to flare handling. T...

And also new settings. In this blog post, I like to run you through the camera-app of the Huawei Mate 20 Pro to make sure you can photograph in RAW too. Still thinking about buying a Huawei Mate 20 Pro? Read my full review here . Do all three Mate 20 Pro lenses support RAW? The simple and short answer is yes. The longer answer is yes but in different resolutions. The main lens supports 40 megapixels, the telephoto supports 8 megapixels and the ultra-wide supports 20 megapixels. The file-sizes and resolutions are all dependant on which sensor you shoot with. Of course, the 40 megapixels lens will crea...
