Not sure about reducers for your Newt apart from making it fussier to handle and will show up lack of squareness and flex more.

16803 is one of the best chips around still. FLI Microline 16803 would be good on a Newt as Microline is a lot lighter than a Proline.

Starlight Express H35 (11002 sensor) or H36 (KAI16070 sensor with 7.4 micron pixels) would be the next choice.

I am assuming a general use and not specifically narrowband which tends to favour the 6303e.

Large format as I see it are either:

11002
16070 (not 16050)
16803 (60%QE and low read noise, very high dynamic range).

The 16070 would be my choice as the slightly smaller pixels would suit the shorter focal length, still 40K well depth reasonable dynamic range and around 51% QE much the same as the 11002. The 11002 though is the long term proven sensor.

The Sony ones outperform the Kodak sensors but only have small sensors unless you get the APS sized 10 and 14megapixel one shot colour sensors.

The falling Aussie dollar makes these sensors (any of them) more and more expensive by the day.
