Here is an example of the massive distortion from the Leica Q lens:

Almost a fisheye :)

Maybe exaggerating helps make the point!  :o

Clear to see how the vignetting is moved out of the frame when de-fishing.

Well then its quite clear that you should stick with Leica M if you don't like using post processing files...

To be fair to the Q, DigLloyd seems to like the Q overall, and particularly the imaging qualities of the sensor, and the EVF.  To me, it's a mystery why Leica couldn't make a non-interchageable lens(the best case scenario for the lens-to-sensor design relationship) relatively distortion-free.

Keith. I like the camera and the performance @4000€

Sure it would be nice to have the Q as a starter to some out of this world DSLM system.

All M adaptable plus all Q genuine.

Just like the Sony RX1 was the prelude to the a7-system.

my question: "How will Leica sell this to their existing customers?"
You are out there. You and your camera. You can shoot or not shoot as you please. Discover the world, Your world. Show it to us. Or we might never see it.
