I check out the specs on every update yet for some reason there's not a single Olympus lens profile ever included. Do Adobe and Olympus have issues?

Someone earlier wrote that lens corrections are built-in to the Olympus system. But to tell you the truth, Sean, I don't know either. I have wondered that myself.
