1) Compound lenses directly over the sensor, near infinite depth of field. Handy for point and shoots. Use DSP to combine them into one image. 2) More use of DSP to correct for physical shortcomings of the glass. If you can ignore defects that are easily corrected in post processing, you can devote more resources to other optical defects that can't be corrected mathematically. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
