Yes it is, the flange distance is too long causing the retrofocus factor to me absurdly higher than necessary with wide angles. And all the lenses are compromised in terms of size weight and performance. You don't use P67 lenses on 35mm cameras and it really isnt that good to be using 35mm lenses on APS sensors. JCO

Sure you collect a couple trillion photons that never hit the sensor, but they were free to begin with. That's where a lot of us are coming from. Tom C.
