Re: 16mm lens distortion

I read about this lens that it has quite a notable barrel distortion. Do you correct it with in camera correction or in the post processing?

For the 16mm lens Distortion Correction is greyed out and defaults to ON for raw. LR applies the Distortion Correction camera info automatically. Some other software may not; I do know that FastStone does not. I use that sometimes to get the full uncorrected width to work with.

Other lenses may give you the option of turning it OFF in the Menu, e.g. the 30mm. With the 30mm I usually have it set to OFF in camera.
