[Leica] More RD-1 Samples

[frank.dernie at btinternet.com (FRANK DERNIE)]

This is a common misunderstanding. Light perpendicular
to the sensor would be focussed at infinity behind the
camera rather than on the sensor, producing a
completely fuzzy image. Whilst more telecentric lenses
are probably better than conventional ones the
publicity regarding light perpendicular to the sensor,
which I beleive originated by Olympus in their
advertising, is clearly wrong. Olympus have changed
the wording in their publicity now.
