Well, this would break compatibility with film cameras, but how about making lenses that are optimized for the smaller CCDs? They wouldn't have to have as big a coverage, and you'd get heavy vignetting if you used them on a K-mount film camera, but they'd probably be compact and high quality... j -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Juan J.
