Actually almost all t...Hi, thanks for the write up. Actually almost all the std lenses I've used in micro4/3 show exactly the sort of distortion you show in your Sony lens. Panasonic (being smarter than Olympus) have built in the corrections to their lenses so that you never see just how feral it is in the JPG or even using the RAW in PS or LR because the correction profile is attached to the RAW files. They correct for much, including vignetting, so you never see how poor your lens really is if you've never used RAW and a converter which does not 'fix it' for you. I did a comparison of my FD200mm to the 200mm end of the Panasonic 45-200 "kit" zoom.<br /><br />http://cjeastwd.blogspot.com/2010/02/panasonic-45-200mm.html<br /><br />the two pictures at the bottom really sum it up.

For jpeg shooters, I don't think it is a real big deal, though you will lose some sharpness. For the price of convenience and price, I don't think it is a terrible price to pay, as long as you are aware of its limitations. If you need something sharper and undistorted, dig out your Leica Summicron.lucindalehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16342303836654206846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577546745078520453.post-27555832651265596232012-12-25T13:14:06.214-05:002012-12-25T13:14:06.214-05:00I have read some on preview and they state that th...I have read some on preview and they state that the RAW picture at 16mm is actually more like 15 mm uncorrected. After correction you do get the 16 mm and the vignetting is also vanishing. So the 16-50 is not bad if you take into account that it is much smaller than the 18-55. That being said, I am still waiting for a high-quality standard zoom from Sony. BTW, you can easily sell the 16-50, buy a 18-55 and make money in the deal.Crixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04146362832356252154noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4577546745078520453.post-87216581403237165612012-12-24T21:15:03.155-05:002012-12-24T21:15:03.155-05:00Thanks Tim.
