Thanks, Paul. This is exciting news.

Yes, select the Print icon in the Title bar, you can select thumbnails plus file info filtering and print to contact sheet.

In the Readme:

New print options
The print dialog now includes an option to print only selected thumbnails (this will be the default choice if any thumbnails are actually selected). Check boxes determining display of name, badges etc have also been added.

Downloaded Phocus 2.0 and ran today. Looks really nice. I like the contact print bit, that will be very useful. I will explore the other additions tomorrow. Looks good though, and it appears to be a little faster than its previous incarnation.

It seams faster.

BTW, does it realy correct distortion of the Zeiss 30mm ?

Yes, it does. I have uploaded a two images, 1 with DAC - Distortion Off and 1 with DAC - Distortion On. Please keep in mind when viewing these images that I had tilted the camera up slightly and thereby introduced perspective distortion.

Neat!!

This lens suddenly increase his ratting !

Never interested in fish-eyes, but a real super wide angle may save impossible pictures.

What is the 24x36mm equivalent ? Between21 and 24mm ?

MTF curves are not bad as well.

The bad point of this lens is the hood. Not for protection agains the sun, but long hood help front lens protection for dayly outside use.
 
You are right,
I was thinking of 35 mm film against 6x6 film.

With a CFV 39 I would count on about 19-20 mm against 35 mm film.
The best way to compare is to compare the AOV.
