[QUOTE="skater, post: 496211, member: 19158"] Anyone with a mirrorless camera notice a lot of distortions at some focal lengths? We got my wife an Olympus 4/3rds camera a few weeks back. Last night, I was working on her pictures from her trip to Seattle, and I'm seeing some horrible barrel distortions in some of the pictures. I know all lenses have some distortions, and I correct the ones from my D7000 as much as I can (not all of my lenses are in the database I use, so not all can be corrected). But with those, I can't even see the distortions until after they are corrected, if that makes sense - that is, if I didn't correct it, I'd never notice the distortions in the first place. So, not bad. The ones in the Olympus, though... wow. Glass display cases that look like they bulge out in the middle. Walls that look like they curve. It's pretty serious and obvious. I'll try to post some examples later. So, my question is whether this is something unique to the lenses she has, or if it's some weird limitation of the format, or what... I don't think there's anything "broken" that would need repair. (Side note - I need to figure out how to take photos for the lensfun people to add in the corrections for distortions. I have several lenses that aren't in the database now.) [/QUOTE]
