I read both articles. It's interesting information. One of the articles
mentions that more telecentric lenses would be less affected. Perhaps this
was Olympus' reason back when 4/3 first came out for many of the comments
they made about telecentric design in their new lenses as well as for their
recommendation that using OM system Zuikos was generally not recommended.
