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?"
