Re: Official Full Frame Pentax Rumor - Technical Limitations of K

Actually, max movement is around 2.5mm on the DX format sensors. That's a lot more than a couple pixels. More like 300 pixels on the 6MP sensors (25.5mm wide sensor is 3008 pixels across). -Adam Bob Sullivan wrote: > Tom, > Similar to my thinking in another thread. I think Max Excursion in SR

Actually, you're missing something in your comparison. The mirror. SLR wide angle lens designs are very different from RF designs. Leica SLR lenses actually have one of the longest register distances and Canon one of the shortest. And Leica couldn't go FF on the M because of the issue of corner

Re: Official Full Frame Pentax Rumor - Technical Limitations of K

I've been hoping for a 1.3x crop for some time now. I think that would be within the working area. However if everyone else goes FF Pentax will have to as well. (And in camera SR will become a footnote). Tom Simpson wrote: > Well, they wouldn't have to go quite full-frame to get major > imp

RE: Official Full Frame Pentax Rumor - Technical Limitations of K

Not only that, I bet some or most FF Pentax lenses already have enough margin on their image cirles to accomodate sufficient SR displacements just like the APS lenses have enough for the APS sensors. And even if they didnt and SR was not possible across the full frame, you still could do SR across

Thanks all you guys I see what you mean about the fire - but I didn't until you mentioned it. the 19th century look and the patterns of the trees are what I liked about the scene myself. The church in the background is in trouble -- http://www.savestbrigid.com/www/ I'm not religeous at all

I wonder what this would do to the availability of Tokina lenses for other camera bodies. Probably little or nothing, but it may be worth some speculation ;-)) Shel > [Original Message] > From: John Sessoms > I would hope this means that some of Tokina's more desirable lenses will > be avai

Re: Pentax and HOYA merging/Tidbits

Ken, Could you elaborate on this. Does it mean that Pentax will use Hoya branded lenses, or that Pentax will use Hoya glass in their Pentax branded lenses, or perhaps something else? Shel > [Original Message] > From: K.Takeshita > http://ca.geocities.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/PentaxHoya.html
