Leica M is the only one of the non-SLR lens ranges which can also fit a film camera with no corrections available. There is now software which can read uncorrected images from raw, in the end the final result is all that counts.... john -----Original Message----- I don't remember a LUGGER bashing other cameras/lenses for using those corrections in camera, but you may be referring to posts by me saying that those corrections are not performed in the M system. That is still so. The M8, M9 and M(Typ 240) do all use degrees of vignette and edge discoloration correction as is known. Also my previous posts on that noted that this is a system design choice. For the M system it is done in lens design. likely because that is their strength. That is not to say that placing those corrections further down the chain is not effective nor an invalid design choice.
