Thank you very much for sharing. I've been mulling over getting this lens for a while and lately I've been leaning toward the Rokinon.

Your comparisons help a lot. Have you done much PP in de-fishing either lens? There are times when the fisheye effect is perfect and other times I'm curious what effect straightening things out a bit has on the image.

I'm sorry that I cannot help on that subject.

Because I never use de-fishing software.

But I wonder if such software would discriminate between lenses used.  I think it would use optical information found in the image itself.  Or is the process of de-fishing purely mathematical, regardless of actual content, and are the algorhythms written to match with specific lenses?

Really, I would not know.

But you could ask in one of these threads, where people are talking about de-fishing in a very informed manner :

Or maybe ask KenW or AndersW.
