I don't have that faith (nor do I believe the Nikon lense mount is
sufficient for WA lenses, I believe the Canon mount is wider).  Kodak is FAR
better at this than Nikon...remember, Kodak develops the sensors...so what
makes you believe that Nikon would do a better job at this, using the same
sensor, than Kodak?
