How do you use a Canon lens with a Nikon body?

[Analogy]

I imagine it looks pretty similar to what my software does:

Before
After

Except in my case the software is precisely correcting the vignetting based on lab measurements made by DxO Labs, no slider tweaking is involved here.

I don’t think it should be completely taboo, it’s not so much adding an effect to the image as removing an effect that was imposed by an imperfection in the lens design.

Oh boy, we’re going to be seeing contests full of huge wide angle photos now and it’s all my fault.

You can get a shift effect out of a regular lens using some perspective correction in post, as long as it’s not too extreme. See these pictures for an example. I do believe that since the correction is applied uniformly to the entire image it is permissible in Farktography.

A desk lamp with a 100W bulb a couple inches from your subject gets you a very nice shutter speed. Not recommended for objects with a low melting point. Metal should be allowed to cool before handling it. I am not responsible for third-degree burns, etc.

Can you upload the JPG straight out of camera? DxO won’t work on a picture unless it can see it came out of a digital camera. For some reason.

WHOA AVATARS ARE TURNED ON.

Any chance of allowing custom avatars instead of the gallery? Using a gallery feels too generic for something personal like an avatar.

Nah, that’s okay. I would have taken those pictures anyway. =D

Hey sweet, I have some old band photos from a venue where the lighting was pure red. At the time I thought “Worst. Photo. Lighting. EVAR” but I think it’ll work out now. =D

Plus, if I buy a shiny camera backpack, I’ll have less for the 10-22mm lens! 😀

Oh God, I’ve started an epidemic. Canon should give me a commission.

Glad I could help. Have fun when you get it.

Okay XenPix, here’s what I’ve come up with:

All three images have gone through identical processing, except the lens correction is different. The original shot was at 10mm, the widest setting on the lens which shows the most distortion, and a wide-open aperture which shows the most vignetting. Basically this is the lens at its “worst.”
Here’s the lens with no lens correction
Distortion and vignetting corrected
Keystoning corrected for a “perfect verticals” sort of architecture photography type shot.

Use your left and right arrow keys to flip between them to see the difference. You’ll see the vignetting is actually more of an issue than the distortion, but it goes away if you stop down to f/5.6, and it’s easily correctable in software anyway.

Hope this helps.

I don’t have any experience with them, but does anyone else think that a “Quantaray” sounds like some kind of aquatic lifeform?

[Analogy]

or is cliche mixing just wrong?

If it’s okay with xkcd it’s okay with me.
