PTLens appears to have profiles for all 4/3 and micro 4/3 lenses
including the Zuiko 12-60. Since PTLens uses custom profiles for each
lens and focal length it is capable of correcting complex distortion curves.
Hard to imagine a better $25 software investment. I think I got mine
when it was still only $10 or $15.
