Each M lens impinges light on the sensor at different angles, depending on its design and the aperture being used (wide open the light impinges from a large circle hence over a considerable range of angles) it will slightly change with focus difference as well. It is easy to see what I mean from the ray diagrams in a book such as Erwin Putts book on Leica lenses. I certainly hope it can be done, but perhaps with a different technology to microlenses. cheers Frank On Sunday, February 8, 2004, at 08:04 pm, LRZeitlin@aol.com wrote: > > The fact that the story stated that the sensor would use microlenses to > correct the angle of the light rays hitting the extreme edges of the > array > indicates that they are trying to obtain a full frame result.
