[OM] Keep or no?

[Mike Gordon via olympus]

I hope I am more WOW'd by the announcement tomorrow than the 7-14/2.8.  To be 
fair I did use ACR which "corrects" the 7% barrel distortion  to about 1% and 
the lens has field curvature to boot.   It's intended purpose though is wide 
open use --mostly. 
I very carefully focused in MF with the chimney in the center of the frame as 
is proper for this type of decentering analysis.   I was still taken aback of 
how soft it is in the corners.  I suppose if the barrel distortion is left 
alone and carefully processed, it may be good enough.  I expected better for 
1300 ish .  

Yes?  I don't think the PL 8-16 is better at 8mm. Sigh.  



Now what?

Mike
