Got my R100 with RF10-18 and been playing with it as my new IR cameras (full spectrum) but I noticed a lot of smear in the corners. Saw that the profile was on so I turned it off and whoa. thats a LOT of vignette / correction in the corners. I get this is a small lens, and inexpensive, but I wanted to see if y'all think this is about correct, or if my eBay lens might be worse than normal.
one 'normal' IR photo to show IRL and one shooting up at my white ceiling to really understand the problem.
This IS 10mm, at longer FL it disappears.
this was with a filter, which was part of what I was testing, but the profile eliminates these corners perfectly (in terms of distortion to remove them and cover it vignette correction but it does make the corners look very soft due to that correction) so I think this is just how the RF10-18 is but I didn't see much discussion on this as it seems pretty poor showing for an RF lens in RAW.
noticed in an update note that the CameraRaw tool now goes down to 1500K for white balance. This allowed me to balance some of the Eos M dual spectrum shots I get for a more neutral grey value, while holding the blues in the sky. I can also get some interesting yellows, oranges, or magentas by adjusting the calibration tool like I used to
born about 4 weeks ago, the first one took flight tonight
First heavy rain this spring and yet again(3rd time since I’ve owned it) the sunroof is leaking again.
Opened it up, in the rain with a towel over it, and air compressor’ed the drain hole. Hopefully fixed again.
I just washed it a week ago and specifically tried to clean the drain port. Guess it didn’t work. Such a design flaw. Should have made it 3mm wider.
