Wanting to pull the trigger on this lens. Is there a Lightroom Profile, or do you need PTLens software to fix the distortion?
 
I haven't tried to correct the distortion on my shots. I usually frame my shots so the distortion isn't as noticeable.
 
Yeah I wish I had jumped on it last month, just bumped up $70. Amazon knows me too well. Bastards.
 
It looks like Amazon will have it back in-stock on Feb 11 at the $297 price. You can preorder now at that price and they will ship when it comes in.
 
Perfect. Had to replace my 6D but I got a $300 rebate card, may as well get some new glass.
 
Tripod, 6D and 24-105 lens all fell off of a boulder while doing some night shots...pitch black, couldn't see a damn thing and I accidentally nudged it, the next thing I hear is "clang, bang, splash"...into the river off of a 6 foot drop. Got the lens fixed for $350 but the body was toast. So I learned a very important lesson...insure your stuff.

Camera equipment insurance is dirt cheap. It has saved me a couple of times. And it can be for any reason
(theft, accident), you do not need to justify how it happened.
 
Added $3/mo to my homeowners insurance to cover the 6D and 24-105mm lens. That's a steal.
 
The only thing you have to be careful of is if you become a professional in the eyes of the insurance company. If that happens, you have to move it from your homeowners to an 'inland marine' policy which is a little more expensive, but still quite cheap.
 
Professional. Ha. No worries there!
 
Maybe not in your mind, but technically the moment you make a dollar of a photo I think is when they could call you a pro and reject your claim. ;)
 
Gotcha. From now on its under the table, cash only transactions, via a middle man. I got this.
