Think Sigma knows something that we don't? Probably that they designed it for use with Nikon and Canon FF DSLRs. One of these days, I'll have to write up an argument that micro 4/3 are full frame cameras, because the sensor covers the full frame that the format was designed for. -- Larry Colen [email protected] sent from i4est -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
