Re: E-PM2 with Panasonic 14mm f2.5

The Panasonic 14mm is especially prone to purple fringing of back lit edges in the corners. I've been able to use the fringe tool in Lightroom4 to remove it. It's not confined to the EPM2. I see it in the EPL1 and EM5. I don't believe it's the kind of fringing that is removed by the Panasonic bodies as I can turn on CA removal in LR4 (I am told this is essentially the same algorithm as Panasonic in-camera) and nothing happens.

If it bugs you, I agree this is not a good lens for you, but to me the specific lighting conditions which cause big time fringing on my 14mm also cause it on other lenses to different degrees.
