The Rokton Circular Sensor
in [SLR Cameras]

From: C J Campbell on 1 Apr 2010 10:31 DPReview says that Rokton has developed a round sensor that is 43 mm in diameter -- the same as the diagonal on 35 mm frame. They plan on putting it in their new mirrorless DSLR that will have interchangeable lens mounts -- you will be able to use nearly every lens for 35 mm cameras ever made. Yes, I know. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor

Great news, their 12-400mm f/1.8-f/2 lens is the best. -- Paul Furman www.edgehill.net www.baynatives.com all google groups messages filtered due to spam

Especially useful for those fisheye lenses. I hope high-street printers will follow by offering round prints. Can't wait for a round monitor with an inbuilt camera - it can double as a bathroom mirror. -- Pete

Yeah, but $600 for a lens hood is a bit much. Fortunately, the cup from a Starbucks "Plenta" fits perfectly. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor

Unfortunately, no. Due to the tight economy worldwide, the G20 nations have agreed that April 1 will last only 12 hours. -- Waddling Eagle World Famous Flight Instructor |
