Macro photography with an ultra-wide lens and extension tubes? I am surprised too. I am equally suspicious because my 35mm macro requires a focus distance of about 1cm from the lens (13cm from the sensor) for 1:1 magnification. |

Is pincushion or barrel distortion really all that bad in a lens? @jrista - That was the point of my comment. Sometimes an aberration has no negative impact. What we can rank is the effort required and consequence of correction when it needs to be corrected, as judged by the photographer or photo editor. |

Is pincushion or barrel distortion really all that bad in a lens? @jrista - I never said anything about artistic value. All these points are about how correctable (and the impact of correction) each aberration is. I did note that distortion (the subject of the question) can be left in, meaning it may not be a problem for a particular photo. |

Is pincushion or barrel distortion really all that bad in a lens? Field curvature can be seen as a form of spatially-dependent softness, so yes, it is worst than distortion. Purple fringing is usually avoidable and highly localized, so I prefer it than distortion though. |

How to speed up autofocus on moving subjects under low-light conditions? Should you not find an answer (as may be at the limit of what your camera and lens can do), I suggest the if you cannot beat them, join them approach: Manual focus, smallish aperture and slow shutter-speed (but still above 1/focal-length). That way you'll get the blur from the dancer's motion on a sharp background which will emphasize their movements. |

How do I use the Chromatic Aberration correction tools in Lightroom? Interesting about the profiles. Out of curiosity, is it not possible to only use part of the lens profile's correction? Ideally, CA and vignetting can be separately removed from distortion because removing distortion can be detrimental to image quality and affect critical composition. |

Nude photography, any advice? Those are a lot of complex questions. Are you willing to pay for the answers? If so, check out moneyshotsbook.com/MONEY_SHOTS.html - It is incredibly detailed and covers everything on the topic. No affiliation with the product but the author was a guest writer for a publication of mine. |

Why is dark-frame subtraction on my Pentax camera shorter than the exposure time? On some cameras there is a cap. So that it does not take too long, I guess. IIRC, on the K10D and K20D it was 30s. I have not received a K-r yet so I cannot confirm that it is normal. The user manual is rarely helpful with such details. |

Canon SX230 HS or Sony Nex 5 That is a really close call! The handling on the S95 is a little better and the performance is quite close. Except the S95's lens does not let as much light in as you zoom in. Both cameras feature stabilization and are equally good as far as I can tell. |
