I'm not worth much when it comes to PP.
Have never corrected for CA (don't know exactly what it means outside of bad colors on the edges?!).
Not counting the learning curve - how long does it take to make this correction.
Is it worse if you get the panasonic lenses (sounds like they are the best).
One last question, I have used primes all my life, with age and less mobility, how good would the panasonic 12-35 be compared to say the 14/? or 20/1.7 or 25/1.4 ?

I bought a Panasonic kit zoom 14-42mm for my Olympus E-P2 because I thought it was much more robust than the Olympus kit zoom that came with the camera. It was, but it also performed very badly. On the other hand, a Panasonic Leica Vario Elmarit D 14-50mm 4/3 lens with an Olympus M4/3 adapter is a great performer. I surmised thwt the first lens uses Panasonic software to correct any of it's abertions, which is not available in the Olympus camera. The second, larger, more expensive and even better built 4/3 lens is probably fully corrected in the lens itself. I also own the Panasonic 20mm f1.7 and it is a stunning performer on tha E-P2, so I must onclude it too is not dependent on software for it's performance.

With Lightroom 4 lateral CA can be removed very quickly using an eye dropper. However I don't own any m4/3 glass so I can't comment specifically on those lenses.
Longitudinal CA is more difficult to remove. I'm not sure how LR deals with longitudinal CA if at all.

I meant to title this -
Chromatic Aberation on the OM-D using panasonic lenses.
I read how the panny camera has CA correction in it, not in the lens.
So the question is do you have to PP for all the pics taken with the OM-D and a panny lens ?

Yes, the CA correction parameters stored on the in-lens chip are only read by Panosonic cameras.

I you are using Lightroom or Camera Raw in Photoshop the adjustment takes 10-30 seconds.
Any other programs im not sure.
With my EP1 and Panasonic 20, there are a few times when adjustment is needed, but its such an easy thing to tweek so it doesnt bother me much unless I have a lot of photos to adjust.

I use Lightroom 4.1. Purple fringing correction only takes a few clicks and a couple of seconds.
