Hmm....but it doesn't sound as if it will correct the digi-typical
erratic/unpredictable interferences between certain lenses & image
sensors.
(because it depends on the incident angle of light on the sensor, and
which depends on the optical construction, more than just focal
length?)
Btw, the German ColorFoto has simply started testing all kinds of
lenses (OEM & third-party) with all kinds of digicam's....seems there
is no other way of finding out.
One not so stellar performer was the EOS 200/2.8 for example (rated
among several EOS-digicams IIRC).
