I wasnt "misinformed", I was just stating the obvious, and thats that a 43mm/1.9 on FF would be better than a 28mm/2 on APS most likely. How can you argue with that simple concept or opinion? And where's the " misinformed opinion" part you are referring to? jco

(and happy New Year) Ah, the beginning of a flame war. No need to disparage JCO here. He was merely stating an opinion, however misinformed it might be. Who was it who just said: "It's sad to see this whole stupid "FF vs APS-C" horsepucky again be a bazillion message thread. Two misnomers make a religious battle it seems. I'll just take pictures and to hell with trying to discuss it." Do as I say, not as I do?
