4/3rds: do the L1/D3 'imbed' the lens data in files?

My tests of the Leica 14-50 zoom compared the Olympus Digital Zuiko 14-54 show that distortion remains, but the distortion characteristics are different.

You can not eliminate distortion in a zoom lens - indeed, any kind of variable focus lens, even 'primes' and the same goes for corner shading as part of the corner shading factor is sensor itself.

Hiya Ian
I've (badly) written about what was a funny thing!

[An Oly user asks leica about a feature Oly has implemented to get rid of any lens errors... and he takes the high-handed 'leica lens don't exhibit such errors' line.]

I've told him.. I said "there's a hostage to fortune if I've ever saw one!"... (before getting my dig in about the apparent lack of know-how in their implementing such a feature! :-))

It made me smile! I'll see what happens and see if I can post the full exchange just for the 'entertainment value'.

I still don't know if that was a funny quip or whether they just don't imbed this data? I've tried to scratch this itch for ages but no one knows...
