Distortion and vignetting is not serious after correction. The RAW file uncorrected does have serious distortion and vignetting. However, if you manually correct the RAW file, you can get as wide as 13mm

Thanks for your reply! Just curious, from your experience, was you zoom out, at what focal length would you say the uncorrected distortion and vignetting cease to be a problem? In other words, how bad is it at 15mm? 16mm?

Thanks

It’s irrelevant. Just use the profile (DPP, DXO, Adobe) and the distortion is corrected. It is designed to be used with a profile. If that troubles you, buy something else. Or use jpeg.

Thanks for your thoughtful reply. I ask him because I'm just curious. I am well aware that it can be fixed in post.

Hi - it was intended as a thoughtful post, not a criticism.  My point is it’s intended to be used that way, it’s not “fixed in post” because they never expect you to see it uncorrected.  Indeed you can’t view it on the camera without correction, in the EVF or on the LCD, and this is why the ability to turn correction off is greyed out in the menu.  In some other camera systems, Fujifilm for example, software correction is employed by being baked into the RAW file, and this with/without correction question never arises and isn’t even discussed, it’s basically a non-issue.
