Image circle size is still 44mm! Thats a bummer. Hmmm, the KAF-16803 is 52mm diagonal, so that ain't going to work. That said you'd definitely want a chip with smaller pixels instead of 9u of the 16803 to reap the rewards of better sampling at this focal length (430mm) as 9u gets you 4.3 arcsec/pixel which is ridiculously undersampled. A KAF-8300 would be a nice sweet spot with 2.5 arcsec/pixel. Was hoping they would make a larger aperture i.e go beyond the e180 as opposed to go down in size.
