@ifer,
speaking of interior and architecture, is distortion really that bad that must be killed on sight? Im curious, my friend want to go into architecture photography I have not much experience or interest on that. I always assumed its how ' correct ' the clients want the building to be? My friends thinking of getting the tilt shift lens. My thinking is if can get jobs once a month, why not .... but if once ayear....? Whats a relatively decent starting lens for architecture photography ?

you can correct the barrel distortion using photoshop. but you have to remember that you will probably need to do each and every photograph. as for the 16-35mm lens, zoom it at 16mm and the distortion is so bad that it looks almost fish eye. once you have corrected the distortion, your 16mm angle becomes more like 18mm and above. then what's the point of getting this lens? i rather use the rm 300 18-55mm lens

tilt shift lens is fantastic. but it's expensive too. i assume your friend is using nikon. nikkor has only 24mm PCE lens as the widest. this lens is a fantastic lens. however, canon has a 17mm TSE lens. sometimes due to the space, you just need a wider angle tilt shift lens. so, if your friend is serious in doing architecture/interior photography for a living, change system to canon. by the way 17mm TSE is about rm 8800 and 24mm TSE is 6500. but then again, i have heard that samyang are coming out with a 24mm tilt shift lens soon.

nikkor 14-24 is nice but it has a little bit of distortion too. and of course you couldn't shift the lens when you needed it to.

My 50mm f/1.8G no issue, initially thought problematic because it wasn't "BETTER" than the older f/1.8D... well not as much as I expected to when I kept hearing the hype about the f/1.8G pawning the f/1.8D.

Even at low res 12MP, it doesn't appear to be as sharp as the other primes I have... hmm.gif if blown up will start pawning? Don't think so laugh.gif

correcting barrel distortion on buildings in post, how 'accurate' is that? as compared to a lens with minimal barrel distort. haha my friend using canon 1Ds.. im not sure how serious he is, but he has has been talking about it for years.

So if i wanted to do a some architecture photography my 1755 would be sufficient for a start ?




on a side note, today I was given an extra flash from 1988.. lol ... SB-24 amazing, it still works! But no optical trigger, drats!
