Hmmm, could be part of the requirement (and part of what I was
thinking which was why I asked about size being an issue). But C*n*n's
lens mount is pretty big. In a bit of searching online it looks like
it's 54mm so that's still a lot bigger than the diagonal length of a
35mm frame, not twice as big though.

Not having seen any of the DZ's in person I can't really comment on
this. But, is it possible that they have rear elements that are large
relative to the sensor size but that don't seem large when compared to
35mm lenses?
