[Leica] URL: M10 interview with Stefan Daniel

[John McMaster]

Because there is a short distance between the rear element and the sensor there are micro lenses to aid as you get further from the sensor. Also a thinner glass cover.

These are the reasons that M non-retrofocus lenses do not play well with standard Sony, and I have read neither with the SL, compared to SLR style lenses.

What does this mean:

"Jesko: It’s true that it is a really brand new sensor. Of course the experience from SL and Q take action also in developing the sensor for the M system. It is not the same, even though it is same spec 24 MP and the performance is also quite similar. but it is a unique sensor, and M lenses need a special certain design especially the micro lens shift, special glass package.”

I’m wondering about the last sentence about micro lens shift and special glass package? Is that about the sensor or the lens that needs the special design?

Thanks

Adam
