Yup! Sensor malleability ans a compound/concave sensor was really my thought. Two dimensional film frame would bend on one plane if "sucked" against a surface by a very small Hoover within the camera body. The fact that film is flat, was the reason I was mulling the concept. Aspherical glass has solved the problem.
