The only FF bodies available up till now have taken either Canon or Nikon lenses, (and the Kodak FF with the Nikon mount wasn't well liked as it was. I haven't heard about Nikon making bad WA lenses but from what I've always heard Canon makes very good telephotos and Tele zoom lenses but that most of the wide lenses weren't that great on film, and not any better on digital. Cotty is using a SMC P 15mm f3.5 on his Canon with a 1.3 crop. From what I've seen his results are very very good. Maybe he could borrow a D5 somewhere and make a report.
