Yes you can. At the expense of less resolution.

Mind to elaborate on this? This is the first time I heard people saying that correcting distortion and CA automatically will reduce the resolution laugh.gif

coz after you have corrected the fish eye like distortion, you have to crop the side of the photo. hence, less resolution.
i see it as tighter composition. i won't get 16mm angle anymore, it's more like 18mm or 20mm. so for what i am doing, the 16-35 is basically useless.
*
Thanx for the info, learn something new today yeah different lenses for different needs... 16-35 is a fine lens for what i shoot

Lol that sigma is rubbish at F/2.8, so damn soft, if u stop down then it's quite sharp .. I sold mine after 2 months to get 16-35 F/4 VR, way better laugh.gif

Bokeh is not just about big apertures. Subject distance to camera and lens focal length plays important part too. Longer FL and nearer the subject distance will create very thin DoF which means bokeh can be created easily.

Play around with the DoF simulator.

Errr, I hope not ! I still like to trust the Japanese when it comes to precision equipment.

True either Japanese or Germans for the precision stuffs ( Leica brows.gif )

there was one time I did comparison with my friend who own 550D.
we did a bull shit talk regarding the best camera system. yeah we both agree Leica pawn both Nikon and  Canon.
however we decide to do ISO comparison between 550D and D3100.

even though 550D having a capability to use ISO 6400 it's pretty unusable. where as D3100 having capability of ISO 3200 where it's pretty unusable on certain lighting situation. however in ISO 3200 I believe D3100 pawns 550D not for being subjective.

but I think Nikon will always 1 step ahead of Canon in term of ISO performance in their APS-C cropped camera because Nikon's ASP-C sensor is insignificantly larger than canon however those insignificant larger will make difference I believe.

anyway the test performed by me and my friend just a stupid test for curiosity fulfillment.
No thus scientific approach performed. (Didn't mount on Tripod, we just shoot it casually).
*
How did u test it? Don't tell me u use jpeg and view on camera screen to see the noise.. to me I always shoot with noise reduction turn OFF to get the maximum details..

1. Shoot raw, both exposure must be the same ( manual mode better )
2. turn off in camera NR.
3. crop 100% on lightroom and compare

To me that's the ideal way of testing noise performance smile.gif

I shoot in raw unfortunately I forgotten to turn off NR.
go to lightroom crop and compare.
as I told u there is no scientific approach taken. casual comparison
*
Casual comparison = useless, like for me I always turn NR off, most of the people i know always have NR turn to Normal... then how to compare? That's just my view rolleyes.gif

i also prefer lowepro.
now waiting for my red flipside 300 from the distro tongue.gif

The build quality of lowepro bags are lower than thinktank only the paddings are thicker, lowepro just doesnt give me the long lasting/rugged feel of TT products sweat.gif

the only TT products im interested in are the retrospective 30, which not many ppl carry, and the speed racer.
just that both of them are at least rm500 each...
whereas lowepro should last as long, even tho it may not feel like it, and got cheaper ranges also tongue.gif
*
The build quality of retrospective is very bad, the UD series feels much better than that and it's not cheap either ( Almost RM500 for the lowest range sling bag sweat.gif )...

how often do you guys sharpen your photo before uploading? because i can often see my photos that are captured under sunlight with 1/400+, it's still not as sharp as some of the photos i see here... Just wondering because i always see my photos not very sharp ><

No sharpening applied to my photos at all, must be due to your lens smile.gif
