Since the sensor seems to be the same size as a 35mm frame, I would
assume that standard 35mm lenses should be adequate.

I have doubts about that. You'll likely need some high quality lens,
capable of corner to corner sharpness.

It may be better simply to omit the anti-alias filter, and rely on the sensor over-sampling the inherent resolution of the lens.

That makes some sense, but, near as I can tell, it turns into a
really hard optical problem. "Sharpness" and "resolution" do not
describe the same thing. Limited resolution is not a good
anti-alias filter.


There is a case for designing digital lenses differently from
traditional film-photography lenses. Geometric distortion is
correctable. Lateral chromatic aberration is mostly-correctable.
Lens design is largely a matter of trade-offs, and the move to
digital substantially changes the cost of many of the trade
items.
