In mirrorless land, it appears that the trend in term of standard zoom designs, is to create fish eye zoom lenses and apply correction in software.
Maybe manufacturers are doing so because it's quicker, easier and cheaper to design such lenses, combined with the fact that cameras now use EVF and images can easily be corrected in real-time while resolution figures are still okay?
Such "tricks" cannot be done with DSLR since the optical view would be way too distorted, but with an EVF it's a "non-issue".
Well, that's my assumption but I might be totally wrong.
