Impressive, since distortion corrections aren't encoded in 4:3 just micro4:3.

They are actually, but maybe geometric distortions were less of a concern with the longer flange distance and telecentric lens designs.

Do you have a site source on that Dan? Reviewers began dual-testing for corrections with m43 gear, and no one mentioned it in 4Thirds sites that I visited. I'd like to know that before more 4T lenses attack my wallet..

Olympus Workspace corrects for distortions.  I deleted my tests on the 12-60SWD when it stopped working.  Can’t remember if C1 corrects or not.  The Zuiko 50/2 has barrel distortion, so I guess an experiment might be possible.  The moustache distortion of the 12-60SWD was just so easy to see.
