Using this method gives un-natural distortion near the corners. Fish-eye hemi 
preserves shapes outside the central area. This is most obvious with faces. 
Fisheye-hemi allows fish-eye use for portraits which lensfun usually doesn't. I 
often photograph divers using a fisheye lens because I need to be close to make 
use of the limited light and poor visibility. If I run the images through 
fish-eye hemi then I get useable portraits. Other correction methods just don't 
 seem to work no matter what I try. I can run the processing on some samples to 
demonstrate what I mean if you like, but the rockwell review and the 
fisheye-hemi page both cover it quite well.
