Given that this is apparently the same sensor - or close to it - in the D100, I have no reason to believe that this won't be a really terrific camera. And with the crop, all stuff about angles of dangles becomes irrelevant. BUT I do want to see results, and read real-world reports, before ordering. But if it is as good as it sounds as though it could be, I will be selling two M bodies and will be ordering one of these puppies. :-) B.

Especially this seems to be the Sony one used in the Nikon D70/D100, according to the spec? Even the skewed rays of light argument should not be a problem since mainly only the center portion of the lens is used. // richard (This email is for mailing lists.
