Lensrentals has loaned me a Fujifilm 30mm f/5.6 GF tilt/shift lens. I’m getting ready to send it back, and I asked on DPR if there were any tests that anybody wanted me to run. One reader asked that I compare the sharpness of shifted images vs ones that applied the same sort of corrections in postproduction. I ran that test, and reported the results here. After I posted those findings, I received requests to perform another similar test at the edge of the frame.
That’s what I’m doing in this post.
Correction was performed in PHotoshop, using the Perspective tool.
At about 150% magnification:
Not much difference in sharpness here.
The f/8 yawed, corrected image is a bit sharper.
