Wide angle lens question...

[schultz]

Rick,

Based on what I've read, it is generally acknowledged that for wide-angle, digital creates problems when the sun is part of the image. When using upward angles to put water in the background, a sunburst is often a desired component. For whatever reasons, digital struggles with these high-contrast situations, creating ugly banding and other artifacts (perhaps some combination of intense refraction, chromatic aberration and interactions with the digital sensor?). Again from what I've read, reports indicate that the problem is more severe with cheaper digital cameras. This can also be caused by a camera's auto-white balance, easily remedied by using a manual white balance on the camera.

Supposedly the dome port will take care of this. My only concern with the dome port for the Inon is that it appears to increase the fish-eye effect when shooting underwater, which means more post-dive processing (which I loath) to remove the pincushion effect and chromatic aberration.

Which I guess calls into question what software does everyone use to modify these effects post dive?
