Keep capture crispness — low distortion means no sharpness-robbing distortion correction.

Like the Sony FE 20mm f/1.8G, the Zeiss Loxia 21mm f/2.8 has far lower distortion than the Sony FE 20-70mm f/4 G. Keep what you capture, or give it up to distortion correction?

In light of the major distortion of the Sony FE 20-70mm f/4 G, and to provide perspective I added a page showing how low distortion is with the Sony FE 20mm f/1.8 G:
