[QUOTE="AC016, post: 496418, member: 9619"] No need for "experts". We only need to do a little research online. Personally, i have never heard of distortion being associated with the sensor size. If you read a few reviews on the 14-42, you will see that if you use a program such as CaptureOne and look at uncorrected files, you will see that at 14mm, there is horrible distortion: [url=http://www.photozone.de/m43/846-olympus1442f3556iir]Olympus M.ZUIKO 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 II R - Review / Test Report[/url] - go to second page of review. Even right out of the camera, there is slight barrel distortion at 14mm. Though, i would expect it at such a focal length. Keep in mind that this lens is what they call a "kit" lens, so "pro" level performance should not necessarily be expected. I am sure that if you plug the lens profile into photoshop, it will be corrected. You can also chat with RickM about Olympus stuff ;) [/QUOTE]
