Shooting with the 5dmrk ii
I'm looking at either the
16-35mm 2.8
35mm 1.4
I've had the chance to borrow at 35 and loved it... but have always had a secret crush on the 16-35, and now, I'm faced with making a decision...
How much distortion occurs on a full frame at 16mm?
Is it true that, if I keep the shooting range from 25-35 during shots where distortion would be "not cool" that I would be safe to leave the range from 16-25mm as a creative, play zone?
I love the 35, seriously beautiful lens, but I can't get that 16-35 outta my head!

If you use ACR and Photoshop you can correct the rectilinear distortion either in ACR or in Photoshop, depending partly on the extent of the distortion. ACR can even be set to recognize the lens and the focal length and correct the distortion somewhat automatically. (You can create a camera and lens profile.)
Canon's DPP also has automated distortion for supported camera and lens combinations, but I don't believe you can correct unsupported combinations.
The 5D MKII has enough resolution that the corrections in post-processing are very convincing and high-quality.

Thank you Ziggy!
A few months ago I was looking at a thread on another forum. It had some really nice 35L images. If I could find it, you'd be sold... but.... I'll keep looking.
5D2/1D MkII N/40D and a couple bits of glass.
But I'd still get the 35 first if you can afford it, for reasons mentioned above

Another lens I need to start saving for, apparently....
