(they said nothing >about 10D mirror, so I assume it won't work) What's also interesting is that they're willing to move the lens *closer* to the film plane. This surely wasn't done deliberately as a jab at those who claim digital sensors won't work properly if the light rays strike them at shallow angles, but I'll bet Canon's engineers are having a chuckle at Kodak/Olympus' expense anyway. -- Mark Roberts Photography and writing www.robertstech.com
