To be able to use existing full-frame lenses To have access to smaller/lighter (and Med format) lenses To be able to use lenses for the full-frame on both full-frame and APS-C bodies To avoid needing to buy expensive full-frame glass To have a *vastly* wider selection of lenses available (fisheye, ultra-wide and super telephoto) To be able to use affordable lenses on occasion To have the option of third-party glass To have in-body image stabilization To have smaller/lighter kit than medium format For faster frame rate when necessary
