It's could I guess, the Sigma SD9 sensor is 20.7x13.8 mm (9 microns per pixel), I'm not sure if it fits the 4/3 spec, the diagonal is too long (24.88mm vs the 4/3 standard 21.63mm), their mount certainly doesn't comply. > Rumours are now rampant on Oly's imminent move and it ranges from use of > Foveon, full live view, revolutionary EVF and compact size etc. Don't we love rumors :-) -- Rob Studdert HURSTVILLE AUSTRALIA Tel +61-2-9554-4110 UTC(GMT) +10 Hours [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://home.swiftdsl.com.au/~distudio//publications/ Pentax user since 1986, PDMLer since 1998 -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
