[HUG ] Re: Week 6 Urban photogrpahy now 60mm distortion

Hi Karl,
The shot with the window shows some barrel distortion. Or maybe it is built like that. I'll test the lens a bit further. But if this is distortion I can not use it any more for shots like this. I just hate distortion. I read somewhere else that the 60mm can have up to 1.8% distortion.

Michiel,

What are you calling distortion?  This lens should not have a measureable
amount, but being a side angle, it will have convergence of lines when the
camera is not held level.

Thanks Bob,

no, I have not a flexbody. maybe I'll take my Linhof 70 next time.
I also noticed that the 60 has some distortion. I didn't expect this. Is this normal for this lens? 

Cheers,

Michiel,
Nicely seen and exposed!
Do you have a Flexbody? Some of your images have converging lines which could be reduced with the shift of the flex. Then again, you may have wanted this :-) 
Any way you cut it, I like what you've done.
Best,
Bob

I'm getting more and more into Urban photography. That is the photography of old deserted buildings. This week some pictures of an old straw carton factory in the North of Holland.
