Since de-mosaicing screws up resolution anyway, I'd love to see tests done on a monochrome sensor. Then we could really see the tradeoff between trying to eliminate distortion optically and digitally.But those electronic steps steal resolution! This seems to be the approach to smaller pixel dimensions in the future that will require wider apertures to eliminate the effects of diffraction but all at the cost of resolution. I, for one, would rather have slower lenses with less distortion at a possible cost of being slightly heavier.

I was going to claim that the Leica S 24/3.5 was big and heavy and distortion free, but I just played with a file and it has a fair bit of mustache distortion if uncorrected. This side of tech camera lenses, I don't know of a large aperture very wide lens that doesn't have it, including the XCD 21/4. (I find the Voigtländer terminology - Super Wide, Ultra Wide, Hyper Wide, Ridiculously Wide, Insanely Wide - pretty amusing. OTOH, what else do you call a 10mm FF rectilinear lens?)
