Ah, but how close? I have to admit this is an aspect of lens design I don't really understand. While the poor performance of some wides becomes an issue on NEX, in another corner of the digital camera world, Fuji is championing the short distance between the rear elements of their new X lenses.
I think I get it, maybe. You could still usee a retrofocal design with a shorter rear element distance in order to include more elements for greater correction, rather than just clear the mirror box, which maybe is what Fuji is doing?
Or, I could be completely wrong.
