Giulio Zanni Posted January 31 Share #1 Posted January 31 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hello Friends, I am thinking to pick-up a wate to use for architecture in combination with the perspective control. Does anybody have images of big building shot at 16mm in combination with perspective control? Thank you, Giulio Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Manolo Laguillo Posted February 2 Share #2 Posted February 2 Hi, I do have the Zeiss 18mm f4 ZM Distagon and the Super Elmar M 21mm f3.4 and use both with the Perspective Correction. The images are perfectly usable. I marked on the monture of the 18mm the code of the Leica 18mm, so that I don't need to introduce that information manually when changing lenses. The PC feature needs to know the focal length in order to work. I suppose your WATE is coded. Good luck! Manolo from Barcelona Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SrMi Posted February 2 Share #3 Posted February 2 M11 perspective control works the same as with SL3. Here is an SL3 shot at 16mm with LPC turned on and a slight (-8) adjustment of vertical transform. Welcome, dear visitor!

jaapv Posted February 2 Share #4 Posted February 2 Unfortunately the WATE albeit coded will not transmit the focal length used. This will lead to inaccuracies. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except when you select the proper lens-and-focal-length information from the lens menu. Of course, sooner or later you WILL forget to select the proper menu item after changing the focal length. Apart from that—you can always correct the converging lines in your image-processing software after the fact ... no need to do that at capture time.

jaapv Posted February 2 Share #7 Posted February 2 Advertisement (gone after registration) Quite. And the OP wants to shoot at 16 mm. For that purpose a Super Elmar 18 might be more practical if he can accept the smaller AOV. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from that—you can always correct the converging lines in your image-processing software after the fact ... no need to do that at capture time. If you do it at capture time, you can adjust your framing (guidelines in live view) before taking the shot. Adjusting at capture time sometimes works better than at post-processing time, though I often combine LPC data with minor manual adjustments. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

For that purpose a Super Elmar 18 might be more practical if he can accept the smaller AOV. The WATE reports 16 mm. If you use WATE as a 16mm mainly, then it should work fine. BTW, people have reported using LPC set at 16mm with wider lenses than 16mm with great success (LPC does not work with focal lengths wider than 16mm).

lct Posted February 3 Share #12 Posted February 3 I rarely use it this way but LPC seems to work normally at 21mm while the WATE is coded as 16mm. I did no side by side comparos with 21mm lenses though. WATE on M11 at 21mm, f/4, LPC off WATE on M11 at 21mm, f/4, LPC on Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
