<< >>The imaging chip is probably no more than 1/2" diagonal. (The size isn't
given in the spec sheets.) That's less than _one-third_ the diagonal of
a 35mm frame. So your existing lenses' focal lengths are effectively
multiplied by more than 3, and your ultra-expensive 14mm ultra-wide
angle becomes 45mm! Wow, that's a really useful wide-angle lens. (The
specs say nothing about the use of a fiber-optic bundle to "compress"
the image.)>>
OK, but does that mean my cheapo 180/2.8 becomes a MONSTER 600 AF-S 2.8,
suitable for stalking lions <g>

Gee Denton,

Sorry all - couldn't resist.
