I wonder if the IX lenses for APS would also work? This is probably why IX lenses were not compatible with 35mm systems. It certainly signals that Nikon is going to support their 24mm sensor size. If this speaks for future cameras is still unclear.http://www.dpreview.com/news/0212/02121201nikondxlenses.asp They announce the development of a new line of lenses aimed at their digital bodies, which are all using the same format of sensor.
The 1Ds is plagued with chromatic aberrations around the edges of the frame. Film can be exposed by light coming in from any angle but CCDs and CMOS sensors require light that is more perpendicular to the sensor. This creates light falloff towards the edges and other aberrations. Canon has addressed this by coming out with a lens that bends light differently for the camera. So it seems at least on the wide angle side like you have to buy a special digital wide angle lens.Canon has just made the opposite move, designing the first full frame sensor for the 1Ds;
Kodak's 14 megapixel Nikon mount body has indeed been delayed due to image quality reasons. Kodak wants to make sure it doesn't have issues when it hits the street.Kodak has announced to postpone the first deliveries of its new full frame sensor body to next January instead of December.
