they have simply implied, with this latest announcement, that only those
lenses that have been "converted" will produce results that don't need major
surgery in Photoshop. ;-)


No, BD, that is not what they said.  They said the coding allows you to get 
the most of the lens in hand, nothing about fixing defects or vignetting 
etc.  
Now the Epson RD-1 does require major surgery for WA's etc for you to be 
able 
to use the lenses without vignetting etc. Why no major comments about its 
shortcomings?  Yes there have been some minor comments, but nothing of the 
order 
on the new Digi M.  Which at this point is nothing but major speculation.  
Let's wait and see the product before dumping on it.
