The Micro 4/3 version of the Mitakon 0.95/35 doesn’t have any contacts so the body of your camera doesn’t get any information from the lens. It means camera processes correcting optical aberrations won’t be activated. As a result the distortion level for JPEG and RAW files is practically the same. For the former file format we noticed slight barrel distortion amounting to −1.17%, for the latter it reached −1.22%. Both results, within the margin of error, are very much the same.

It should be also stated clearly such a result is nothing to boast of. With an angle of view amounting to 34 degrees the distortion should have been zero.
