Hi Rob ... Of all the things to be considered, that seems to be the least concern for me. I've put the 18mm on Juan Buhler's istD and never gave it a thought that the AOV was different. I did the same with a couple of lenses on John Francis's istD, and again, never gave it a thought. So, thus far, it's a complete non-issue. However, if I do get a DSLR, I 'll probably want to get a lens that'll give me something wider than a 28mm AOV, which is about what the 18 provides now. The 14mm might be something to consider. But I don't use the really wide angle lenses that much in 35mm, so, for the most part, I'm probably in good shape. Am I missing something?
When you're ready to give up your Mamiya, let me know.
