Re: rf 16mm 2.8 - Raw Images (Normal Distance + Closeup)

I am almost schocked that some expensive L lenses require software correction in postprocessing to make decent RAW images. Only for JPEGs it is corrected in-camera, so why not for RAW ?
I thought Canon does nice work in optical design which allows doing most correction optically which all older lenses do.
Software is just an extra tool to correct minor / leftover optical errors, but now it appears that modern RF lenses depend heavily on software, and, worse, that software (lens profiles) is not available yet completely.
