Originally posted by DAZ There is some lens distortion (curves) but most of what I see in that photo is perspective distortion. This kind of perspective distortion is usually called keystone distortion. Keystone can be for the most part is correctable PP but is usually not being corrected automatically but only with some input to the program. Keystone is not in the lens but is from not having the plain of the film/sensor perpendicular to the sides of the buildings. As this distortion is not in the lens the PP program is not correcting it so the number in the EXIF is not going to make much difference.

Ahh, that makes sense. Thanks for the info.
Originally posted by wolffy I did this with PS Elements but the same thing is in Lightroom its under develop -- lens correction -- manual -- use the vertical slider. the only downside is you will need to crop the image afterwords, I left my example uncropped so you could see the effects
I was actually trying this earlier and I did kind of get it the way I wanted. But yeah, quite a bit of cropping had to be done.
I'm going to have to keep working on my technique with this lens and read up some more on keystone distortion. I really like this lens but it can be pretty tough to use
Here's another one I shot, maybe not be one the best photos I've taken but it's great that I had this lens and I could get the whole building in the shot!
