CA is exaggerated due to the Bayer topology of the sensor, some light may be reflected but the fall-off is mostly due to the light rays not penetrating the wells. The photosensitive component of the pixel sort of lies at the bottom of a box over which a concentrating lens is placed. So you can imagine that the assembly would be most sensitive when the light rays enter perpendicular to the surface of the sensor. -- 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 [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
