Hi Mafud,
Your point is well taken regarding telling the difference between zooms and
primes. On the web at about 96 dpi, there;s probably little diff. But when
looking at the original, maybe so? I love my FA 28-200. But when I look at
all my PUG submissions and otherwise (looking at the original) , my gut
likes the ones with primes in almost every case. For instance
http://pug.komkon.org/00febr/WoodenBoats.htm was shot with a prime. It has a
crispness and clarity (not blowing my own horn) even at this low resolution
that I don't see in some of my zoom photos.
Not disagreeing with you, just noticing a slight preference.
I doubt anyone could pick a cropped Vs. Full-frame.
