Whatever the actual dimensions turn out to be, my guess is that the full sensor is proportioned to a common print size so that there would be significantly more pixels at work for this proportion vs. the same proportions cropped from a 24mm x 36mm sensor area. Still 100% speculation on my part. Doug Herr Sacramento http://www.wildlightphoto.com -------------------------------------------------------------------- mail2web.com ?
