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.

I think it’s worth keeping in mind that this is a budget lens targeted at an audience that probably isn’t the type to spend a lot of time scrutinizing the corners of their images. For the serious landscape shooters I’d hope Canon will continue making well corrected lenses that are bigger, heavier and more expensive that will satisfy those more demanding folks.
