I got mine, put it on the camera and never ever ever thought of any of this negative stuff. Hell I just shot pictures, they worked beautifully without any techie bafflegab and I always received more assignments... What counts more than all this stuff about corners, centers or whatever else is.... "The success of the content in the exposure and does the client like your stuff? You get paid and assigned another shoot!!! And that my friends is really what the hell all this picture taking is about! Not whether the corners are pinky, twinky whatever?
