Subject: [Leica] OT: Curved film planes in 35mm camera

The new Konica Film-In Superwide one time use camera, 17mm lens, has a 
curved film plane horizontally. The images are quite good (it has 800 speed 
film Konica color negative film in it). Are there any other cameras you know 
of that have tried this? I assume that the trick is that the image plane is 
in fact not so flat given the simple lens, and hence the curving of the film 
plane makes up for that.
