The day may come when the highly corrected optics we so prize today will become anachronistic, like a mechanical watch. Will the fine Leica lens go the way of a Rolex? I'd really like to read about the comparative advantages and disadvantages of firmware vs. optical correction of lens aberrations. Geometric distortion and lateral chromatic aberration are the two I've heard they can do now. I wonder what else is possible.
