Testing my Tokina AT-X 17mm F3.5

Looks like a successful test!

A bit of perspective (keystoning) correction on the interior shots and you've got some real winners.

I've been shooting a Tokina 17-34 for several years and just love the heck out of it. Good piece of glass and I find that the RAW editor will ID the lens and correct for most of the lens distortion quite nicely.

I'm ignorant on the distortion correction situation. Any tips?

I use Nikon's software. Any tips on making it better for distortion?

LRs built in (ACR) seems to handle it just fine.

I'm going to NYC for the day sightseeing on the 9th, and plan to bring the 17mm, so I'll finally have a chance to really play with it.

How it's done with GIMP: PS is very similar.



This is done to correct horizontal perspective. Mentally rotate it 90° and you're golden.

That lens is obviously working well for you. Good choice.

Not a bad little lens. SO WIDE.
