The numbers I have are 23.5 x 15.7 mm.

Is the Pentax sensor 16x24? I thought it is smaller than that. I was quite surprised at the difference in perspective between a 28mm lens on an SLR and the 18mm on the istD.

That's incorrect. Perspective is a function of the distance between the subject and the camera. If you want the perspective you're used to with a 28mm lens on 24x36mm film, you need to use an 18mm lens with 16x24mm sensor. That's all.

I can understand why mankind hasn't given up war. During a war you get to drive tanks through the sides of buildings and shoot foreigners - two things that are usually frowned on during peacetime.
