Hi Darren, One of the issues with digital sensors is the depth of the sensor wells. They are recessed, and as such, the light coming into each sensor has to be directed more perpendicularly, especially at the edges, where it typically is at more of an angle, or you get vignetting. Contax re-designed their lense mount specifically to make it wider, to accommodate this issue. Regards, Austin
