Hi all,
After using m43 for more than 2 years I feel like the main disadvantage of the system is the way that lenses (especially the wide ones) are designed. Almost (?) all of them (even the high-end ones) have a significant distortion (5-6%) which needs to be corrected by software. Do you know why such a compromise was taken? It influences image quality. Even though the lenses are a bit wider to compensate it, still the matrix size is the same and details are deteriorated on edges. In landscape photography, where wide angle lenses are mostly used, one wants to have sharpness across the frame.
Apart from distortion, I'm pretty satisfied with the system and hope it will live long...
Do you also see distortion as a serious weakness?
Cheers.
