Re: G5 X circular edge softness -- is this normal?

Any sensor and lens combo is going to have it's limitations. It's all about learning to work around it. Is it really a problem to stop down to f4? Or back away from the subject and zoom in and shoot at f2.8? This camera IMO is the best all-arounder on the market, but physics doesn't allow you to be right up on a subject at the widest aperture and have sharp corners. That wouldn't make sense, and it's the recipe for bokeh; if it *weren't* that way, you would have crap bokeh when you wanted it.
