I suppose some extra piece of glass that shrinks the 36x24mm coverage from
a lens down to the size of the CCD is not possible? Sort of like the
opposite of a teleconverter.
Build it into the camera body itself and suddenly everybody gets happy --
the engineers can use a smaller CCD, the wideangle lens junkies still get
their wide angle views, the cost-conscious consumers don't have to pay $$$
for the 36x24mm sensor and the advanced amateurs can still use all their
beloved K-mount lenses.
Must be some sort of catch though, cause it seems such an obvious solution
yet nobody seems to be doing it.
