Hi Moose,
I have been looking at WideAngle (a plugin for The Gimp), it works
fairly well too, if one wants or needs to do it manually (say, its
already been cropped! & you need to offset the distortion axis)...
Would you consider it appropriate or useful for me to send a
Gimp/Wideangle corrected version of John's 'Irving' image to you for
inclusion in your page? Subject to John's permission, of course!
Wideangle plugin info, source and 'doze binaries:

I'm still playing with a group photograph taken with the 14-45mm at
about 16mm (unfortunately I had to be in that one, so (tripod)
composition wasn't perfect). I downloaded the PTlens trial & used the
standalone to apply the appropriate profile (it was amazingly easy to
use- choose the camera & the lens, tick the box, click 'Apply', that's
it!) & I compared it to a one manually made by WideAngle. There didn't
appear to be a great deal of difference (I guess that says something
nice about the uniformity of the distortion in the 14-45). I can't post
the group image I'm working on because I don't have permission for
various reasons.
