there is no standard for aps-c. Generally canon is a 1.6x crop and
nikon/sony/everyone else is a 1.5x crop. I don't know about you, but
I'm rather glad I'm not a canon crop-sensor user and

Sure, but there's nothing like the 8mm fisheye you can get for APS-C for

with m4/3.
Oh, foolish me: I didn't realize that Panasonic also ships their own 8mm
fisheye lens in Micro-FourThirds mount!

Just because there is a focal length fisheye that gives the same FOV as
one for APSC
or FF for that matter, that doesnt mean it will perform as well as a system.

The funny thing is, I'd be willing to bet that Aahz knows Ctein personally.

Well, I've narrowed down my choices to: Canon T4 or T5 (in case I decide
NOT to switch -- remotely possible), Pentax K-r, Fujfilm X-Pro1, and
Panasonic GX7. (Hope all those letters and numbers are right, but you get the
idea). As you can see, I am all over the place. The one similarlity is
Here's a link to a short video on Photofocus with an overview of the
differences between DSLRs and m4/3 cameras. It includes a link to a
free 10-day trial on lynda.com so you can watch the entire class. I
haven't seen the whole class so I can't vouch for it. The overview
was mildly interesting
Right now Buydig.com is selling the original K-5 NIB for $639.00 with a
$15.00 coupon free shipping in the continental US and no sales tax if
you reside outside New Jersey. You can find it on Amazon almost as
inexpensively, if price is your issue.
It is however still a relatively heavy,
Thanks!

Thanks, Peter, I've thought about it, and decided too heavy. While Pentax
lenses, on the whole, the new ones anyway, are much lighter than Canon's,
with the K-5 and a longer telephoto, I'd come out about the same weight as I
am now. So it would have to be a smaller Pentax camera body than

With rectilinear lenses doing format translations is easy. AOV is AOV,

The point is that m4/3 8mm is 16mm/e.
It provides a 180° field of view across the format diagonal, same as the
