Advertisement Posted September 11, 2018 Posted September 11, 2018 Hi dancook, Take a look here Q Arrived. I'm sure you'll find what you were looking for!
Marac Posted September 11, 2018 Share #2 Posted September 11, 2018 It's a gorgeous camera, I took one to Scotland and it done a fabulous job, personally I found that I wanted a bit more flexibility regarding longer focal lengths and so sold it for the CL. I wish I could afford to of had both. Enjoy your trip, I'm sure you'll get some great shots of the Wife too. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viv Posted September 11, 2018 Share #7 Posted September 11, 2018 Advertisement (gone after registration) I got mine yesterday! First impressions are very good. However, a quick snapshot shows that the lens hood cuts the corners of the frame. Not good! Welcome, dear visitor!

Leica Guy Posted September 11, 2018 Share #8 Posted September 11, 2018 I got mine yesterday! First impressions are very good. However, a quick snapshot shows that the lens hood cuts the corners of the frame. Not good! That’s not normal. Is the hood screwed on all the way? It should turn to a stop and be perfectly aligned. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EUSe Posted September 11, 2018 Share #11 Posted September 11, 2018 I got mine yesterday! First impressions are very good. However, a quick snapshot shows that the lens hood cuts the corners of the frame. Not good! Are you using any filters? They have to be ultra-thin. Otherwise I have no issues. Some of the vignetting is corrected in DNG-processing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viv Posted September 11, 2018 Share #13 Posted September 11, 2018 Something wrong there ... do you have it screwed all the way on? Yes. It is fitted correctly. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dancook Posted September 11, 2018 Author Share #14 Posted September 11, 2018 Is there some software that's able to load the dng without the lens correction? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viv Posted September 11, 2018 Share #15 Posted September 11, 2018 The jpgs are fine. Photo Ninja cannot eliminate the barrel distortion in the RAW files. Looks like I need a different RAW processor. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighlandK Posted September 11, 2018 Share #16 Posted September 11, 2018 Yes. It is fitted correctly. If it is fitted correctly do you have any filters on the lens? If so take it/them off and see if vignetting still. Eliminate all the variables one by one - start with no filter and no lens hood, add lens hood making sure it twists to a hard stop, add filter. The lens hood if properly fitted does NOT cause vignetting. If it still does with no filter return the Q. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viv Posted September 11, 2018 Share #17 Posted September 11, 2018 Thanks. The problem appears only in RAW files, the jpgs do not exhibit the same defect. People say that this is because barrel distortion in the jpgs is corrected in-camera. I am told that some RAW processors automatically eliminate the lens' inherent barrel distortion. Photo Ninja does not - and its Barrel Distortion Elimination tool does not either. So I need a new RAW processor. But which one? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viv Posted September 11, 2018 Share #18 Posted September 11, 2018 Here are the RAW and jpg files of a shot, straight of the camera, just resized for here. N.B. This shot was taken without the lens hood. It is obvious that the camera has corrected the barrel distortion. Welcome, dear visitor!
