Just wondering.

Why would anyone skip digital correction when using a lens that is designed to be digitally corrected?

To understand what compromises the digital correction introduces. If I'm a landscape shooter, I'd def like to know that correcting the geometry on this lens will throw away 20-40% of my resolution for example. Will that matter to everybody? Maybe, maybe not, but having that info will enable more informed decisions.

The OP corrected that to 25%, which would reduce a 20MP camera (e.g. the R6) to 15MP.

I think this sideproduct is the major concern about this lens, and I imagine that as time goes by, more and more lenses will rely on on digital correction of this sort.
