However vignetting with widest lenses, even on the cropped 1.5x view on this sensor, is much more than the same lens on film, just as we had been told. It seems to me that the omens are not good for a 24x36 sensor using these lenses unless a completely new technology is discovered. All the reasons why such a camera looked unlikely are amply demonstrated by the RD1. I have the 35mm aspherical on it almost all the time and it is splendid with this focal length (and the 28mm).
