In other words without the corrective lens elements a normal 50mm lens would turn into a small telephoto. << John, Is this a new thing for the digital SLR? I seem to remember the N90/Kodak digital camera didn't compensate for the CCD/Film size discrepancy,. There was actually a rectangle inscribed on the screen that showed the "new" image area of the CCD. Is this what you mean, or have I been out of the digital loop too long? Thanks, Mark Rutledge
