Compared to the format the existing lenses are huge. He didn't mention it, but I believe that the incident angle of the light coming into the sensor is still a major issue for quality in th edges. Other issues would be the design of wide angle lenses for the smaller sensors. With the exception of the 21 Biogon, you couldn't match the coverage of a Super Angulon for the larger formats in 35mm until the 1960's. Currently, in 35mm I can get the equivalent of a 12mm lens while in the digital arena we get the equivalent of 15mm or so. Just rambling on..
