You should just dodge this whole Canon Versus Nikon thing entirely, and buy yourself an H2D. :)

Has anyone used any of >those lenses on a full frame digital body? I've certainly coveted that 85mm 5/1.2, but never had a reason to buy it because of my 1.6 cropping factor. >for film which pushes the aperture boundaries, I'm concerned about >blurred edges and color fringing when used on a digital body. > >I'd have similar concerns with the 85 f/1.2, another lens clearly >pushing the aperture limits. I don't mind investing in these lenses. >But I'd hate to buy them then find out they're just not that good on >a full frame digital body. I think that a full frame digital camera, at least with todays technology, will never be as good as film. The sensors don't deal well with the angles involved, at least compared to film. I expect the technology to someday adapt, but in the meantime, I won't be expecting good edges on a full frame. >From what I have heard of lenses and sensors, a wide lens is more likely to have edge problems than a telephoto. But I don't really know anything about it myself. It wouldn't stop me from buying a good lens. I expect that the lens will be around for a while and a better camera will come out to take advantage of it. -- void *(*(*schlake(void *))[])(void *); * **** ******* *********************************************************** * For list instructions, including unsubscribe, see: * http://www.a1.nl/phomepag/markerink/eos_list.htm ***********************************************************
