Ok so I get carried away using my canon fisheye on my full frame 5dM3 indoors for buildings. The shots of course are cool but walls can be
Distorted big time. Suggestions on software to help stretch or correct for this so the walls are normal.? Can aperature do this?

JM, Have you tried Photoshop? The RAW editor allows you to correct for lens distortion. This link is for CS5. BTW, I did correct for lens distortion when I borrowed this lens from a friend. Works very well. Gary http://news.cnet.com/8301-30685_3-20006533-264.html

DXO does it automatically and does it very well.
I have not used this or seen this in action but have seen very good results reported by Ken Rockwell.
Here is the link.
Rollover the image to see the correction.

PTLens does the job - also for other types of lenses - it is cheap, efficient, and has a free trial.

PaintShop Pro works very nicely for this.
Has corrections for barrel, pincushion, fisheye and perspective correction that work nice and very quickly.

That was exactly the link I had in mind. Fisheyes are great for weird effects, or fairly normal pictures if you hold them level. Lightroom also makes lens corrections.
