Very little distortion, definitely.

Definitely.  I can only tell from usage what a great lens this is.

I've notice is that I got used so much to Zuiko quality, that I can only tell 
how good they are by looking at other lenses.  For example, I have a tiny P&S 
camera from Minolta (TC-1) with a hyped-up 28mm lens, and the results are nice, 
but the Zuiko 28mm/f2.8 is far better.  Whereas the Minolta will give me a 
wide-angle look on the picture, the photos taken with Zuiko 28mm/f2.8 looks 
like a they've been taken with a standard lens.  Very, very limited perspective 
distortion.  Also, resolution seems better (after enlarging shots from both 
cameras, taken with the same film).

I have actually travelled with only the 28mm, and it works great, particularly 
in cities.


Peter.
