Re: Why no in-camera CA correction on Olympus bodies?

I can attest to the CA issue with Panasonic lenses on Olympus bodies.  I rented a Panasonic 12-35 for my OM-D and saw nocticeable CA on my shots.  It was easily correctable in post processing.  However, my Olympus lenses (14-42, 12-50, 10-150, 14-54 MKII) don't exhibit this effect as noticeably.  I guess it's a philosophical issue.  Olympus comes from a long history of making superb optics at a time when post processing was not much more than what was done in a darkroom.  Panasonic is an electronics firm that has no such history to draw on and sees nothing wrong with applying correction to the image.  For me, I tend to favor the Olympus approach - get it right at the source.  I am quite frankly a little put off by a $1100+ lens that doesn't effectively manage CA and relies on software to correct what I feel is a design flaw in the lens
