Photography is about 3 (monochrome sensors) or 4 (color sensors) things:
- number of photons collected
- angle at which the photon travels from the object it reflects off, to the sensor;
- sensor efficiency; and (for color)
- color filter array.
There is not a single image in the history of photography that couldn't have been achieved with a different sensor format and correspondingly different lens (provided that those sensor formats and lenses existed, ofcourse).
