I'm a hobbyist artist trying to learn how to properly capture my paintings in high res to use for promotion and prints. I have an OMD EM 10 and use a 24mm prime lens right now, but realized that I probably need to buy a 50mm lens to get rid of distortion. I noticed that the edges of my paintings were curved and the rectangle turned into a parallelogram.

I can't seem to find a 50mm lens for the OMD EM10, so I was thinking of buying an adapter for OM mount to m43 mount, and a F.Zuiko 50mm lens. I read that 50mm and above lenses don't encounter distortion and skewing issues because it's the closest length to eyesight. 

Does this upgrade seem worth it or should I wait to buy better gear?urved and the rectangle turned into a parallelogram.
