I wish I could find the posts where I predicted this, ten years ago or more. On the whole I think it's a good thing if it means smaller, lighter lenses*. The only problem it creates is the absolute necessity to have a lens profile compatible with the software you want to use.

We thought alike.   Years ago, I wrote somewhere here that things that can be done in software, like distortion & CA, should be offloaded from the optics.  Resolution, large aperture, close focus, etc. are inherent in the optics.  The only problem of doing this in DSLR is seeing them in the optical VF.

Panasonic started doing it on their m4/3 bodies and nobody complained.  I bet all the cell phone cameras do it. CPUs are fast enough to do real-time correction. The 14-35 is the first Canon L lens doing it.

Perhaps I should change the title of this post to "Welcome to the 2010's."
