CA with Oly EP series

[awilder]

I'm considering the purchase of the Micro 4/3 version of the 9-18 f/4-5.6 but have read that the lens has moderately high lateral CA. Pany lenses have the same problem but they cleverly eliminate the problem with their camera's softwear. Does Oly plan to have a similar fix with softwear upgrade or is there another way to get around the problem?

Light Room does a good job when you open a file.
I find the 9-18 to be an excellent lens.
No issues at all.

It is an easy fix in post processing so even if the software doesn't fix it automaticlly can be done in seconds manually.

I believe I just read somewhere, perhaps on 4/3 Rumors, that Oly plans to add CA correction to the firmware in the coming year.

My 9-18 is due to arrive tomorrow. I'll post impressions here.

Thanks, I think I'll go ahead and order the lens.
