Jeffery Smith New Orleans, LA -----Original Message----- From: lug-bounces+jls=runbox.com@leica-users.org [mailto:lug-bounces+jls=runbox.com@leica-users.org] On Behalf Of FRANK DERNIE Sent: Saturday, July 24, 2004 1:25 AM To: Leica Users Group Subject: RE: [Leica] More RD-1 Samples 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. Frank --- Jeffery Smith <jls@runbox.com> wrote: > No, I've seen much better from a 3mp sensor.
