Fuji GFX 100RF Siemens star testing, corrections defeated

August 24, 2025 JimK Leave a Comment

Here are the same images as the preceeding post, but presented with Lightrooms profile correction and LaCA correction defeated. In the center:         And in the corner:   The lens corrections are lifting the corners and hiding the vignetting at f/4.     This is a fine lens, considering its design emphasises… [Read More]
