Glad you're enjoying the lens. Perhaps I undercharged. Lunch is on you if I ever get down that way.:cheerful:

Would have bought you lunch anyway. McDonald's OK?
Sure. Love Mickey Dees. Although the service has gone into the crapper lately and most times the fries are not very fresh.

In traveling around and eating there in many places I find it is all up to the management at the local location. There are three here in town and one is always better than the other two. The employees at that one will actually look at you and smile when waiting on you

I have the tamron 15-30m.m 2.8 Its my first wide angle.
And you are correct my first few shots were terrible
Cause i shoot the long zooms most of the time.

I really like the horizon control in the D750 since it shows both directions. Easy to get it completely level. Now it it would do that over live view I would be very happy.

Nice work. That lens is like a big glass doorknob.

Shot some with it this evening. Really great results outside.
Here is one shot in the back yard of a house I was working at this evening. No distortion correction other than the default that Lightroom does in its lens profiles. I jsut made sure the camera was level in both directions using the virtual horizon built into the D750 and showing over the live view screen

Here's a shot I made with the same lens on a D600 from the top of a lighthouse.
And the outside view from the top of the same lighthouse:
Either the lens distorted the horizon or the lens is so wide that it shows the curvature of the Earth!

i have this lens. it is marketed under the label WALIMEX here in europe but it is made by the same manufacturer SAMYANG in Korea. The added bonus is that is is also fantastic for IR as there is absolute minimal flare and no hotspots.

Seems that they put it out under several different names Rokinon, Samyang, Vivitar, Sakar, Polar, and Walimex are the ones I could see.
Yeah. You just have to pick the cheapest!! Yay for the consumer!!

I finally got a chance to take this lens into the old abandoned building I have been shooting for a while. this is the main reason I wanted/needed a super wide. I used the Virtual horizon to get the camera level in both directions and was on a tripod when shooting these two. There was absolutely no correction for distortion in either of these photos. These are the shots that will show up if anything is off in the slightest bit.

Does your tripod head have more than one bubble level on it? This first photo looks like the camera was tilted up just slightly. It's barely noticeable, but there is a hint of parallax going on. That can be seen in the two closest supports (they are closer together at their bases than at their tops), and the closest windows on each side show the edges aren't quite parallel to the sides of the photo.
Amazing shots none-the-less! I need to spend more time with my 14mm lens. Generally I tend to carry no more than 3 lenses with me due to the weight of my bag which happen to be three zooms. Glad you are enjoying your lens. I remember you commented several times about wanting a 14mm!

Here is what DxO Viewpoint can do. Remember this shot?
Here is is after correcting it with Viewpoint. Took about a minute to do the correction
View attachment 193558
FYI, if it hasn't been mentioned, LR and ACR will do this as well. In the Lens Correction section there are various evaluation buttons that will auto-correct, either for Verticals, Horizontals, Full Perspective and an "Auto" which evaluates all of it and attempts to correct it in a balanced way (it's very good most of the time).
Here's your shot with the Full Perspective correction...
Not a whole lot different than Viewpoint. My reason for posting is not to knock Viewpoint in any way but to simply state that if anyone reading didn't know that these features exist in software they may already have then they should check it out before thinking they may have to spend more money. Between the Lens Correction section in Lr and Free Transform in Ps I'm covered for this stuff.
