miniaturized WA lens tech, compared to 8-15L

Found this via Engadget.

Pretty bold claim on being able to provide a high resolution fisheye FOV in the palm of your hand that beats out the EF 8-15L. Neat stuff!

Interesting -- needs a curved sensor though.

Did they seriously compare a crop of a crop from the 8-15L to a crop (sesnor resolution limited) of the new technology mated to a microscope? Why didn't they use the microscope mated to the 8-15L?
