Not true. A 600/5.6 for a 1.5x crop digital will be every bit as large (and as heavy) as a 600/5.6 for a 35mm film camera, which in its turn is as large and heavy as a 600/5.6 for a medium format camera. At those sort of focal lengths there's plenty of image circle to spare. -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
