Sorry pellicle
Long focal length lenses? I use mostly 25, 40 and lately the 12.5 mm lenses ... I haven't used much over 70mm other than occasionally. ??... I came across this issue when I wanted the create an HDRI image using photomatix .
There I saw a chessboard like pattern in the right top corner of the image .
After inspecting the images in detail , I could identify the source .
The maze pattern in the right top and bottom corner .
I have no statistics .
But . . . . i noticed , that the issue is not there or can hardly be seen when using long focal length lenses .
...Therefore , as you use long focal length lenses , you will not see the issue , or only very "soft" .
RangerI suspect they'll care a lot more if it's affecting Hasselblad users than they would if it were just affecting Lumix G1 users!
But in the meantime, we've all got photos to make, and we've all got to use what works for us.
It is indeed good news for all of us who use the G1 and Lightroom/ACR but I'd suggest that, in addition to the Adobe people who addressed the problem, our thanks are also due to Jürgen who raised the issue and persisted until it was resolved. :salute:Hi ranger9
Yes , good news .
On the one side it gives me some satisfaction , that I was taken serious .
As only very few people really responded to this issue , I felt very much left alone with that maze pattern issue .
Now , ACR5.5(beta) solves the problem and ADOBE stated that a solution for LR will be available soon .
Also , the same issue for HASSELBLAD 3fr files , will get an update with the next release .
Good news for all of us and thanks to the ADOBE people who took care of this issue .
Best regards Jürgen

I see the same with M mount lenses on my G1. I never saw it with Canon FD, Konica AR, or the m43 kit lenses. It is also specific to the Adobe ACR or LR2 converters and as noted above is supposed to be corrected for the G1 in the next release. You might want to report this experience with the E-P1 in the Adobe forum mentioned above - Eric Chan is very good about responding to these issues.I just posted a similar thread - I'm having the same experience using an E-P1 with Zeiss 21/4.5 and Zeiss 25/2.8 when converting with DNG Converter. I don't see the maze pattern when converting with Olympus Studio or CaptureOne 4. Odd... -Norm
Are you by any chance using a Mac with a G5 processor?For the first time I am getting these checkerboard patterns also, using LR 2.5; they don't show up in SilkyPix. If someone would please advise where on the LR forums postings about this issue should go, I would appreciate it.
I've done testing on this and submitted a bug report to Adobe.... the update to Lightroom 2.5 exposed a weird issue in which, running LR 2.5 on G5s only, very bright areas of the image get weird magenta "checking" around them; I could see it in both your attached photos.
Demostrated it with six cameras so far: Oly E-1, E-P1; Pentax *ist DS, K10D; Panasonic L1, G1.And so far I've only seen reports of it happening to raw files from Panasonic G1s and Leica Ms... so at least we're in prestigious company!
