Just wondering.

Why would anyone skip digital correction when using a lens that is designed to be digitally corrected?

I don't know. The point of my post was to show how wide the lens is before and after corrections. It's clearly quite a bit wider than 16mm before corrections. The thing about corrections for this lens is that you actually have some choice about how much and which corrections you use, if you shoot RAW. I suppose you might really want a bit of extra width on occasion, and not mind the distortion. You might even welcome the distortion for effect. People apply all kinds of effects to their images. I don't think it's a bad thing to have the option to apply corrections or not (and which ones to apply). It's not as if anyone is forcing you to do it one way or another.

As the length of a thread approaches 150, the probability that someone will make the obvious "it's not the camera, it's the photographer" remark approaches 1.
