I shoot JPEG/RAW. But I only use the JPEG to do a quick triaging. I go into Photoshop Elements for everything that makes it through the triaging. I also delete all the JPEGs and replace the triaged images with new JPEGs converted from TIFs. So if I notice any chromatic abberation, I could correct it then.

Before I commit to the 12-35, however, I'm going to want to see some examples of chromatic aberration using the E-M5. To partially fund it, I'll sell off my LP 45mm f/2.8 macro, which was rendered redundant when I bought the Olympus 60mm macro, which is currently my favorite lens.

I don't keep my images in a way that makes it easy for me to post them here, but trust me (and man others who own or have tested this lens), it *does* exhibit chromatic aberration under the circumstances I've described. It's easily spotted looking at JPEGs or uncorrected RAW files. However it is also very easily corrected in any decent PR software. In Lightroom it's just a click of an eye-dropper. Then it's gone entirely: images are excellent.
