Thanks Dawid - I own the massive-bulbuous-fabulous one :-D
Software correction is no problem for me - I do that all the time in
post ...
Even 'plain vanilla' JPEGs straight from the cam are the result of
software correction.
And so are scans ... :-(
Yet I agree that the better the lens the least you have to fiddle (or
work, or play ;-) )
Of course, no one has to share my views.
Thanks for your opinion - do you have the lens and sample photos?
Bien cordialement de Metz
