===== LensFun Calibration Data =====

This is my [[http://lensfun.berlios.de/|LensFun]] entry for this lens.  The distortion values listed are the default values that are included with the library.  Unfortunately, following the [[http://lensfun.berlios.de/lens-calibration/lens-calibration.html|lens calibration guide]], I was unable to get ''tca_correct'' to output anything meaningful.  Most of the values were far off the scale that ufraw could deal with (ufraw/lensfun wants +/- 0.01 but I was geting +/- 0.5 or more).  I just ended up manually selecting values for first order correction, producing a much better result than I could get from ''tca_correct''.  This lens did not appear to need any TCA correction anyway, interestingly enough.
