I disagree.  All you are doing is matching the sensor plane with the film
plane.  If you can make a sensor that fits within the bounds of the film
gate, and that allows the sensing elements to be coplanar with the plane of
focus, without interfering with the shutter, whether it's a 1.3x sensor or
as large as can be placed, should not make a difference.

Regards,

Austin
