Hmm, not sure what I meant now either.... I think I was going along the
lines of "converted" in the sense that the optics are somehow different
for digital use (light coming in perpendicular to
CCD "buckets" etc; Phillip had a powerpoint file demo-ing this, and since
he no longer hosts it, he granted me permission, link in sig).
Otherwise, why bother badging it as "sinaron" or whatever if it's
identical to a "normal" 35-80? That's what I understood of it anyhow. I
don't have George's email either to cofirm.
