Hi! Why do I feel that they are trying to beat the dead horse by labeling those lenses limited... I never did get what Limited was supposed to mean anyway, vs the FA* labeling. Silly games in naming. Godfrey, remember in Men In Black (the first one), when Will Smith is passing that exam?

Hello Rob, Based on your description, am I to interpret that the issue with bodies has mostly to do with High ISO/Low Noise? Essentially a larger sensor becomes the real solution from the body side of things. That would mean either a full frame sensor or a MF body. So Nikon is no help to you
