It's certainly there. Nothing like WA on many digicams, but just 
slightly worse than the OM 24/2.8 on 4/3. PTLens doesn't have a profile 
for the DZ 25/2.8 yet, so I tried the one for the OM 24/2.8. It very 
slightly under corrects, which is better than over.

It can be seen in several of the images with straight lines in them, 
including the horizon, if one looks for it.

Most obvious example of where it is and isn't obvious is "INDEED", where 
applying correction much improves the right edge, but equal correction 
has little visual impact on the rest of the image.

Yup.

For these images, no problem. For architectural work, it would be an 
obvious problem.
