If darktable works correctly, and I expect much ado to have occurred if it did not, the (correct) crop factor *should* only be applied to DX cameras and not to FX; ie: should follow definition. The dark horse would be using the D7100 in 2x mode or an FX camera capable as my D3 of DX mode, would the correct crop factor be applied. I believe you have no problem using an FX lense on a DX body, most of my lenses are FX. And many photos after editing crop show little need of rectilinear correction or vignetting, the most affected areas are cropped out. You did mention soccer and capturing a full frame (not indicationg FX) keeper not immediately in front of you is extreemly difficult. gud luk, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA @ptilopteri http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member facebook/ptilopteri http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn Graph Databases - Download FREE O'Reilly Book "Graph Databases" is the definitive new guide to graph databases and their applications.
