Hi Jim, Because the web page states that if used on a sensor larger than APS (i.e. 1.5x 1.6x crop) that vignetting will result. Designed for digital SLRs, not 35mm. Size specs show it to be a very similar size to the 35mm equivalent, the (latest) 28-200. Quote: "Exclusively Designed for use with digital SLR cameras" "An image sensor element larger than those corresponding to APS-C cannot be used in digital cameras or 35mm SLR cameras. If such an element is used vignetting will occur on the picture surface." Unquote Cheers Gary This message has passed through an insecure network.
