Ben,

But that premise is simply wrong. None ARE designed "specifically" for digital, except as noted for the purpose of reducing the MTF for use with Interline sensors. The issue with the WA lenses does exist, but that does not mean the issue requires lense redesign for all other focal lengths specifically for digital...and interestingly enough, Canon hasn't redesigned their WA lenses specifically for digital...so where are all these lenses "specifically designed for digital"?
As I said, Nikon has specifically introduced new lenses to simply take into account the smaller image circle of the smaller sensor...having nothing to do with the use of a digital sensor, it has the same "effect" (purpose) if the camera simply used a smaller format film.
Regards,
Austin
