6. Distortion

As it was the case of the Sony E 18–55 mm f/3.5–5.6 OSS, the distortion measurements don’t impress us here as they are very similar to those of the Sony. At the widest angle we get very distinct barrel distortion amounting to –4.38% which near 30 mm becomes zero and already at 35 mm changes into pincushion of 1.01%. What’s worse it increases along with the increase of the focal length and at 55 mm it reaches a quite significant value of 1.64%. Distortion correction is evidently a problem for the designers of all mirrorless systems’ kit lenses.
