In the database (in liblensfun-data package, file slr-canon.xml for Canon),
you will find the various bodies / lenses.
For each lens, there is a comment like:
 
This allows you to know how the lens was calibrated.

On my system the camera and correct lens is found by default  which 
is what I want!

Simon, I'm curious to know why to you it's not the best idea ?

(oversimplifying it a bit)

Full-frame lenses are designed to deliver their full sharpness across
the whole full-frame image circle. If I put a full-frame lens on my
APS-C D7100, I am basically expecting it to deliver 24 megapixels within
the smaller APS-C image circle the sensor is cropping out. That means I
expect the lens to deliver about 24*2,25 = 54 megapixels over the whole
full-frame image circle. Which not that many standard lenses will do.

If put my standard 24-70/2.8 on a Nikon D850 and (let's say) it only
delivers 40 megapixels of actual resolution instead of the ~46 the
sensor wants, that's not going to be a catastrophe. If I put it on a
camera with a lower resolution sensor, e.g. the 24 megapixel sensor in
the D750, there is zero problem. But if I put the same lens on the
D7100, the cropped area will only get around 40 / 2,25 = 17 megapixels.
That's suddenly 30% less than what the sensor needs. And not every lens
will even deliver these 40 megapixels. Good APS-C and especially
Micro-Four-Thirds lenses are expensive and hard to make because they
have to be very sharp within the smaller image circle.

Prime lenses are usually sharper to begin with, so with your 50/1.8 and
28/2.8 it might not be that much of an issue. But I can clearly see the
problem with my 24-70/2.8, and especially with the good old 70-300/4.5-5.6.

also curious as I have for years used both full-frame and aps lenses on my
present D850, D7200 and D500 and previously D70, D3, D200 and D7100 and
not noticed any abnormality.

but adding a 1.3x extension on my v1 70-200 f/2.4 does lack clarity and
more so on the D850.

Hi,

it does, as long as lensfun can find the lens in its database. I've been
using full-frame-only lenses on both my Nikon D750 (full-frame) and
D7100 (APS-C) for years.

(It's not the best idea, though, so I'm about to replace the D7100 with
a second full-frame body).

cheers,
Simon

Re: [darktable-dev] Lens correction with FF lenses used on APS-C

2019-02-23 Thread Timur Irikovich Davletshin
I believe it does. Changing body type (full-frame instead of aps-c)
changes geometry. Body type description is nothing more than just a
file in /usr/share/lensfun/version_1 with cropfactor parameter being
the only meaningful information used for geometry calculaton.

[darktable-dev] Lens correction with FF lenses used on APS-C

2019-02-23 Thread Florian W
Hi,
I happen to use on my Canon 750D (APC-C) 2 lenses designed for full frame
(Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM and Canon EF 28mm f/2.8 IS USM)
I wondered if the lens correction module takes into account that the camera
is full frame or APS-C to apply the proper correction ?

Can someone tell me ?
Thanks
