6. Distortion

Deformations of straight lines in a fisheye lens are its characteristic, not a flaw. It would be silly to complain here about a high distortion level. Out of the chronicler’s duty let’s mention that in this model the distortion amounted to −24.6%, no matter whether you measured it on RAW or JPEG files.
