As the title says, Does the lens matter in HDR? I have a kit 28-135mm lens and a 50mm 1.4 lens. I am just curious if a certain type of lens would make for a better HDR photo.. Thanks..

gjl711 Wait.. you can't unkill your own kill.  57,729 posts Likes: 4064 Joined Aug 2006 Location: Deep in the heart of Texas More info | Jan 05, 2010 07:46 | #3 I would think that the lens matters as it does in any photo. The better the lens, the better the image in general. However, both lenses you list out there are pretty decent lenses and should create a great base image to work from. Not sure why, but call me JJ.

kirkt Cream of the Crop More info | Jan 05, 2010 11:14 | #5 Make sure your lens does not have crippling issues with chromatic aberration or flare, as shooting HDR sequences usually necessitates some exposures that might be plagued by such issues in a less capable lens. Kirk

Kirk Very true, the only issues regarding the lens I have noticed as having significant impact on the final outcome is some of the prosumer lenses. CA being the worst of the problems but also soft images when the lens is stopped down beyond f/11, and that really can vary from lens to lens.

navydoc Cream of the Crop  More info | I also find I get better results doing hdr images when the entire frame is in focus. Shallow DOF doesn't work as well for hdr for me. Gene - My Photo Gallery ||
