Lens correction supported lenses

Post by MikeFromMesa »

ASP does a good job of fixing lens distortion for some of my wide-angle lenses (for example it does a fine job with my Canon 15-85mm lens), but it does not support my Sigma 10-20mm wide-angle. So some questions.

Is there a list somewhere of what lenses are supported?
Is there some way for a non-professional like myself to determine what the proper settings are for common lenses so that I could enter the settings manually?

I have to admit that I am surprised that the Sigma 10-20, which is a common lens, is not supported already by ASP. Or is it supported and I am not doing something I need to do?

Is ASP picking your lens right? I've found that ASP picks the wrong Sigma 10-20 - I've got the f4-5.6 (which is corrected & I would guess is the more common) but ASP seems to always pick the f3.5 (which is in the database but is uncorrected).

Don't I feel stupid! I have to admit that I did not look carefully at the listed lens. I only saw that it was "uncalibrated". But, as it turns out, you are completely correct. I was using the 4-5.6 but it selected the 3.5.

Thanks for the speedy reply and the correct information.

No problem - it took me a while to notice here when it picked a wrong but similar lens :?

In theory you could customise the lens list but I haven't tried it (at least you could previously in Bibble & the format of the files appears similar). A nice little user interface to edit out items that you don't want (cameras & lenses you don't own) would be good to give ASP (& me) less "wrong" choices to make :D

Thanks. I'm going to give that a try. I will post any information I have about how it works.
