A flexible lens specification format can be created that allows lenses to define their distortions, and a single piece of software can apply the correction processing based on such a specification. That is essentially what Adobe Lightroom 3 does with its new camera lens profiles. If each lens contained its specification, you wouldn't need to update firmware for each lens...attaching a lens is enough, as it would tell the firmware what its correction factors are. | |

Particularly since my Panasonic lens gets corrections applied on my Olympus E-PL1 body (and I believe the reverse is true - Olympus lenses get corrected on Panasonic bodies). It would require both a software and firmware upgrade each time a new µ4/3 lens was released by anyone. | |
