Unless you're shooting the Sigma 12-24, you aren't going to get apprciably wider on FF than my 10-20 is on digital. And a 7-14/4 on 4/3rds is actually marginally wider than the Nikkor 14-24. Wide on crop is only an issue if you avoid crop lenses. But buy 1-2 of them for the wides and you'll be set. -- M.
