I believe you are using the wrong definitions here. An aspheric lens will mainly reduce optical aberrations, a RECTILINEAR wide angle lens will produce less distortion... in any case, I don't see the M2P having any kind of distortion (eg. "Moustache") than cannot easily be fixed in post. Barrel distortion takes 20sec to fix... what exactly is the problem?
Thanks for that clarification. Actually, I think both may be valid, although the rectilinear example in wiki is outstanding.

And thanks to other posters for the link to the pro lens options for Inspire.
Point is, I've never been a fan of the extreme distortion visible in GoPRo & other action cam lenses. My own Aspheric DSLR lens is excellent, but was very affordable.
As I mentioned, a Mavic 2 will probably be my first drone. The features are appealing, and the portability will help, as I'll often be hiking/biking to remote areas. I make my living with still images, but shoot increasingly more video. If I can move up the food chain, then a high end machine will possibly fly my way. But until then, compact & affordable will have to do. I'm hoping DJI might at some point consider distortion free wide angle lens options for consumers. The "trickle down" of features gets better every year. I'm a pro retoucher (stills only) so I don't mind some post correction. But the difference between my own DSLR fisheye and Aspheric lenses is enough to sell me on the concept. |
