Has anyone experienced warping on the sides when zooming to 20 or below on the DVX100? Or is this normal? With the anamorphic lens the warping is much more apparent, and I at first thought it was the anamorphic adapter causing it to warp, but after some testing it actually is happening with the normal lens, just less pronounced. I'm seeing the distortion in the viewfinder, on the LCD and when watching it on tape. And again, the warping occurs even without the anamorphic adapter, just on a less noticable level because it's not being stretched horizontally. I know there can be some barrel distortion on wide angle lenses when you zoom all the way out, but for 20% of the zoom range? Do I have a defective camera?
 
Re: DVX100 Lense Distortion

your camera is fine .. the dvx lense just goes really wide, and barrel distortion is eventually inevitable. pending where you use the real wide setting, it can look like a fisheye, or you wont notice it at all.
