It's likely that the 1DsmIII has such issues with more >lenses and further away from the edges. Could be, though I've never used either the 5D or 1Ds-III. But note that neither one comes close to the 198 pixels per millimeter of the K20D. This is likely the issue that really drove Nikon, and will drive Pentax, to full frame. (Pentax's director of marketing for Europe recently admitted they are working on full frame and see that as the way the market's going.) -- 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.
