David:
Canon EOS 20D frame size is 22.5X15.0mm. 1.2 inch diameter image circle
equals 30.48mm, so yes, the non-convertered image circle would cover an
EOS 20D frame.
I'm guessing there'd be less vignetting unconverted too. At 50 pounds it'd
be a bit challenging to carry in the field...;)
Hi Mark!
I've been studying it. There are power supplies (for the motorized
aperture control) and motors to be removed, as well as a huge steel plate
that serves only to mount it on the front of an RCA TK-45 Colour Camera.
Getting rid of all this excess 'junk' should lighten the load by 25 pounds
or so. Still, at 15 pounds I wouldn't want to pack it too far!
(At that weight, who'd notice whether the R8/20D was mounted or not?) ;-)
Unfortunately, at this stage, I'm thinking actually contemplating the DM-R
with some seriousness... though I'll want to see a few user reports
first. I think it's a bit bigger than the Canon 20D's sensor, but should
still fit inside a 30mm image circle.
Anybody here know the size of the DM-R's sensor?
As for image quality... well, only time will tell, but it *will* be a
*grand* experiment! (It's got to be as good as a Tokina!) Heck! It will be
fun!
Cheers!
