Fisheye distortion correction for Tokina 10-17 files
5 posts
I just got back from a month long trip to Socorro, Chuuk & Kosrae and took tons of pics with the Tokina 10-17 lens. I did discover that the Nikon Capture software doesn't recognize my raw files as being compatible for fisheye correction. I used several other programs years ago, but does anyone know of software that will do fisheye correction on these non-Nikon lens raw files? Or even on a tiff file if I can't find one for RAW.
If your on Mac you can use LensFix which is a standalone application or a CS3 plugin available here. Apparently they've just released it as an Aperture plugin as well (today). It comes with a database of lens calibration coefficients. It tends to be a little technical though. It has a 15 day trial period so you can figure out if it works for you.
If your on a Wintel then PTLens is available. I think that it is essentially the same thing as LensFix except for windows.
Cheers,
Mike

Hi Bonnie,
That's a shame that NX isn't able to de-fish the images from your Tokina 10-17. I have both the 10.5 and the 16 and have used Capture NX to successfully de-fish a number of topside images taken with those lenses.
I've thought about getting a Tokina 10-17 to add to my lens arsenal, but not sure if it would be necessary since I already own the 10.5 and the 16. I'd be curious to know how you're liking the Tokina.
Good luck in your search for a successful de-fisher
