Ken, I have not actually seen the problem as it applies to full frame.
Since the on-line research that I found was Leica-leaning, it was probably
just "not perfect" in the corners, since all Leica-made lenses are expected
to be perfect.
But, except for difficulty in focusing it on the E-1, it is a perfect match.
I find that setting the aperture to f/8 and the distance to 10 feet,
shooting in "A" mode will cover almost anything outdoors. Increasing ISO
and opening up a couple of stops works fine indoors, with the distance
adjusted accordingly. It ain't rocket science, but it gets
results...............
