The new Zuikos have dual-sided aspheric elements???  cool!

Also, auto light fall off and barrel distortion compensation IN-CAMERA!!

Personally, I would prefer to have an adequately designed lens which had no barrel distortion than throw away the resolution that digital correction by interpolation inevitably produces. Its not as if this is a huge format that requires extreme measures to correct distortion at the frame edges. The 4/3 format has been selected because it is a cheap focal plane option - digitally correcting barrel distortion is similarly a cheap option and both have their drawbacks in terms of the actual results you end up with.
