I don't mean larger than full-size[*], current half-size is
sufficient....even aftermarket *zoom* lenses down to 10mm exist for
that format, for crying out loud....nothing more easy than designing
a *fix* focal length....
[*] even that argument is invalid, look at the Mamiya ZX
36x48mm....almost same price range as 1Ds....
(and *with* a decent 26mm wide-angle....or was that Contax 645?)
