If it were a matter of the laws of physics then CANON wouldn't be able to be doing professional FF DSLRs with their 35mm lenses and mounts. yes canon has a larger lens mount but I do not believe that has anything to do with it whatsoever.
yes, its true that many lenses designed for film do not perform as well on digital but that can be achieved with redesigned lenses using the same size mount... I don't see why you even mention olympus, their DSLR isnt using 35mm lenses, its got dedicated "digital" lenses that don't or wouldn't cover 35mm film to begin with....

Dude, he's telling the truth. And anyway, a 35mm-sized sensor on a dSLR requires a much larger lens mount to work as well as on film of the same size; it's just a matter of physics. This is why Pentax, Nikon, Olympus, and KonicaMinolta are going with smaller sensors. If you look at all the facts, it just makes sense. If you must wait for something, I'd suggest only waiting for high-ISO noise to come down, because you're going to be waiting a *very* long time for a 35mm-sized sensor in a Pentax body. The current APS-C system is not as horrible as you think, and it's only getting better. John Celio -- http://www.neovenator.com http://www.newpixel.net AIM: Neopifex "Hey, I'm an artist.
