K5/7 internal lens correction versus Lightroom lens profiles

[markus maurer]

<p>Hi Pentaxians<br>

Did anyone compare the lens correction for DA primes in the K7/K5 versus the lens profiles in Lightroom?<br>

I have enabled it in the K5 but never really compared the results so far since I got mostly unsupported glass. Any experience?</p>

<p>I have not, but I turned it off in the camera because it was slow. I'd rather just fix it later if it needs to be fixed at all. I find my limited don't usually need much fixing.</p>

<p>Easy to compare with your DA 21mm Ltd. Not having a K7 or a K5 I've not been able to compare lens corrections between the in-camera treatment and what Lightroom offers. But I'm very curious to see your results.</p>

<p>I find that Lightroom eliminates some noticeable pincushion effects for the DA 21mm Ltd. and I always activate it.</p>

<p>Michael, I just got the DA 21mm yesterday and will take first photos over the weekend with it, but maybe more touristic ones than test series :-) But I will do a comparison series later. Thanks Matt as well. I have turned internal lens correction on by default but i'm not a fast shooter so slow writing does not bother me that much anyway.</p>

<p>Cats and dogs in front of brick walls was my intention Wayne ;-)</p>

<p>The correction in the K5 works wonders with my 18-135. The CA and distortion at 18 were pretty significant, and largely eliminated with correction turned on. I just leave it on now, and accept a little slowness. (Do not have Lightroom for comparison, sorry. DXO version 6 was worse.)</p>
