I don't know. Initially I was shying away from buying Foigt Heliar
15/4.5 for my Ricoh GXR because of the same stupid fear of corner
problems. Fortunately, I've seen the pictures... So far I've observed
the violet coloration mostly towards the corners (sometimes it happens
if there is severe flare in the middle of the frame too) less times than
I have fingers on my hands(*). So, it is there, but its effect is
probably greatly exaggerated by the internet hype.
That said, GXR-M has sensor is adapted to RF lenses, naturally. And
Ricoh did quite an excellent job here. Further, no one is forced to
mount RF lenses on these cameras. Fortunately, we don't lack excellent
lenses from many manufacturers - just do your homework and/or decide
which ones you would like to put to use.

I think this could be a very significant pair of cameras.
I would expect this to be the same sensor to be used in the Pentax FF.
I'm very curious how well this camera will work for Sony, with the
combination of short registration distance and big sensor. Wondering
if it will perform better with lenses at a more "normal" flange to
sensor distance (with adapters).
I still tend to want a real viewfinder in my cameras, but I can see a
significant place for this camera. Expected to be around $2200 for the
body, I believe.
