Spec page is interesting: "• 27 x 18 mm CCD sensor (by Kodak) • 10.3 million effective pixels • 6.8 x 6.8 µm pixel pitch • RGB Color Filter Array • Offset microlenses near frame corners • No anti-alias filter (low pass filter) • 1.33x FOV crop" http://www.dpreview.com/articles/leicam8/page2.asp So I guess the sensor microlenses have been offset in a compromise between the very acute angles of incidence experienced using symmetrical WA lenses vs the short teles. It will be interesting to see how it fares against the Epson RD-1 using the same lenses given the larger frame size. -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
