You guys dont understand. A 35mm F1.4 lens designed for a smaller sensor will be as cheap to produce as a 50mm F1.4 for 35mm or even cheaper. A nice side effect is it will be smaller than a full frame 35mm design. > > For those of us who prefer to shoot below at 85mm or less, we're > basically hosed.

Youll just be recording a smaller part of the same image. It's like cropping. JCO
