I'm using Lightroom. Is there a good lens profile correction that will work with this lens? Is it even necessary?

Wish I could say - I actually returned the lens after it fell off my camera several times as I was focusing. Sorry ...

I use this lens/adapter with nex-f3, and there isn't any lens correction needed imho. The edge when wide open will be fuzzy-ish, but that adds a nice uniqueness to what you shoot with this lens, at least for me. It ain't a Leica, but that doesn't mean you can't get great photos from this fun to use lens. I bought a different adapter though, this one is a bit skimpy

this is a CCTV lens so you really can't expect much from it. It's not sharp in the corners, the bokeh is weird, and it flares a lot. It does render things in a neat way and has a lot of "character", but there's no lens profile on earth that could properly correct the abberations this lens introduces.

It's a typical "cine" lens which produces a soft effect with a sharp center focus. As this lens completely covers the APS-C sensor there is no need for any processing adjustments to the margins.

Yes, that us why I purchased this lens and it has worked well. It definitely adds curvature to the photo, so I find myself cropping the images but you still get way more into the frame for interior shots.

The manual focus version [PK(A) - NEX] works well, even the distance indication on the manual lenses is accurate, no vignetting. Also on tamron lens with PK ring. Can't vouch for this autofocus version but imagine it too would work.

I have a 7100 and it's one of my favorite lenses...Im pretty sure it works, you just have to shoot in manual mode..

I have used it for portraits...with and without flash/lights. The key is to use a tripod and a remote "trigger." I have used both the Canon 85mm f/1.8 and Canon 70-200 F/2.8 L lenses. As long as you are not creating a poster-sized photo - don't let the 8.2 MP scare you.

Your Canon A2E will give you sharp results with your L glass lens. Canon's are not known as "Lomo type" cameras with "funky" effects. This film will give you results similar to if you shot any other 400 speed color film. If you want something more "Lomo" I'd suggest the lomography xpro 200 film. It's awesome when crossed. Good luck!

I just got this lens and cannot figure out how to adjust the aperture... I can only take photos in f/22 otherwise it tells me to "lock lens aperture ring at minimum aperture" even if I put it in M (manual) mode. How do I change it so the aperture is adjustable and not fixed?

Go to Setup > Release w/o lens and make it enable. It will definitely work.......

I have the same lens bro and it went well.But you'll have to use the lens on its longest zoom (135mm) to get the macro effect.It's not a macro lens, but it's quite handy if you need to shoot a big closeup.

The lens works great. I would recommend it. Not sure about that model camera. Should not take too much online searching to find out if it is compatible. Also try Nikon's website.

I agree. Make sure your lens is decent. Other than that it takes great photos!

I'll be honest and say I don't know. It's a beautiful lens but I would suggest that if you leave close to a large photo store go in and see if they will let you play around with one. Sorry that I can't be more helpful.

I didn't use light loss was too grate for the lens I wanted to use it with wouldn't work with Cannon lens which would have been light compatible. Teleconverter halves light see if you want to use it at f12.6.

Get a lightbox, 5500K lighting with high CRI to make everything sparkle, and use photoshop to do focus stacking. Pro shots. Perfect lens for this. I've got L lens too. This one is way cheaper and just as good.

Works fine on other lenses I have with f/2.8 or wider aperture, should on that gem of a lens you have. Image quality always suffers slightly at the pixel level almost any time more individual glass lending elements are added, one of the reasons you buy a prime lens like yours to start with.

There will be some distortion, similar to any lens up through probably 25mm. It is very subtle if noticeable at all unless you are right up on the structure. Easily correctable in LR5. Nothing like UWA or FE for distortion.

check your lens for fingerprints. Got a bunch of pix one time blurry because of that.
