rosuna Posted May 16, 2007 Share #1 Posted May 16, 2007 Advertisement (gone after registration) Read this: http://www.dpreview.com/news/0705/07051401panasonicrobustsensor.asp Fresnel lenses are thinner, and the UV/IR is filtered at the Bayer-mosaic level !!! This CMOS design could be very, very interesting for Leica.

Riley Posted May 16, 2007 Share #2 Posted May 16, 2007 its a sensor for 'in vehicle' use Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosuna Posted May 16, 2007 Author Share #3 Posted May 16, 2007 Well, it is a new design and technology. We will see the applications in the future. R. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
farnz Posted May 16, 2007 Share #4 Posted May 16, 2007 This CMOS design could be very, very interesting for Leica. Hmm ... I'm not sure that there's a DRF application (if that's what you were meaning) because Fresnel lenses are only good on-axis. As soon as the light starts to fall at even a slight angle the optical attenuation increases dramatically. The limited distance between the rear lens flange and the sensor and the resulting angles of the rays striking the sensor suggest that the sensor would need to be curved parabolically to avoid strong vignetting.
