if you should RAW there is something you can do. most programs like DxO and Ligthroom/ACR can do something about irritating lens distortion and CA and thus improve things a bit.
the often in reviews mentioned soft sides and corners can be improved upon as well. not within Lr where sharpening or adding microcontrast works globally, but in DxO you can apply it locally based on what is build in in the appropriate lens/camera module. although you cannot improve sharpness that was not there in the first place, the results, when printed, look quite a bit better then without what DxO calls use of the "lens softness module".
i only have the 18-55 with the NEX 7 and i must say i am pretty impressed given the price of the lens.
