Lens Profile for Gimp lensfun and UFraw

They both use lensfun library but can only detect the older version of lensfun, not the latest version called 2014-09-30 Release 0.3.0.

You can use the data in that release but must modify them by inserting them into the lensfun library that comes with Gimp lensfun plugin and Ufraw.

You must make the following changes:

Incompatible lines:
<lensdatabase version="1">

        <mount>Sony E</mount>
        <mount>Fujifilm X</mount>
        <mount>Samsung NX</mount>
        <cropfactor>1.534</cropfactor>

 Change them to:

<lensdatabase>

        <mount>Sony E</mount>
        <cropfactor>1.5</cropfactor>

and copy them to the .xml files where camera definitions are made.
For my Sony E, I them in mil-sony.xml.

 The same lens database needs to be copied to the other camera xml files.

 These parameters can be calculated easily using Hugin as I had mentioned at the previous post.
The most difficult is to incorporate into the lensfun database where there is little documentation.

 The location for the lensfun database files in Gimp for 64 bit Win7 is
C:\Program Files\GIMP 2\32\share\lensfun

 I discovered it by trying it for a few times.

 The cropfactor has changed from 1.5 to 1.534. Better use the 1.5 crop factor because my database indicates that 1.5 crop factor is the best. For example, 16mm is equivalent to 24mm, or 73.7 degrees horizontal field of view, which is what Hugin reported when I stitched my 360 degree panorama.

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...
