That just about makes 35mm medium format.

The lens does not know what the sensor size is. All that happens with the smaller sensor is that you crop the image tighter, resulting in a narrower angle of view. To imagine the effect with film, take any negative you have, and cut it down to the size of the sensor. That will replicate the effect of the smaller digital sensor on the image. -- Clive http://clive.moss.net _______________________________________________ Leica Users Group.
