D40 18-105mm vignetting

[Don Kuykendall_RIP]

I get this all the time with my 18-105. If you're using Lightroom fixing it is incredibly easy, just click on the "Enable Profile Correction" box towards the bottom of the right develop panel and "Voila!!". It will also remove some mild distortion on the wider settings of the lens as well - it's probably something else you've never noticed.

I guess that is why I have not noticed it with my new 18-105. I always shoot RAW and I use Photoshop and do all my corrections in adobe RAW and have always had lens correction turned on. I have watched the correction at times by turning it off than back on. Sometimes there is a lot of change.

I wonder if in shooting JPEG Fine in the camera with the new corrections in the firmware it that would handle the corrections as good as the method I am using now does? I would not go back to JPEG after shooting RAW but was just wondering.

Not sure. I shoot RAW as well but have no auto corrections setup.

I tested it on my D5100 and the Camera Auto Correction on JPEG does the job as good as th LR or Capture NX 2 on the RAW file.

Interesting. I guessed that it would. To bad it does not correct the RAW file before it gets recorded.

I do the same thing (shoot in RAW, corrections done in ACR w/lens correction) and I've never noticed an vignetting using my 18-105mm.

Ha! I know, right?

Sometimes I think to correct afterwards is better cos I can compare if a line looks better straight or not. That's why I never use the cam correct. Even if I shoot in jpeg. I can to afterwards too, just more work but can do.

Mine all go through ACR in PhotoShop and I just leave it turned on. I did look at a few early on but they all looked much better with it on.
