well of course a FF sensor is going to be more sesitive to lens designs, you are using the whole lens image instead of less than half of it with APS, BUT with FF there is more than twice the detail in the image with the same uniform lens vs APS and wides on FF are something APS cant even do! Those same lenses arent wide anymore on APS, so anything is better than nothing in that case. APS exists because of much lower costs than FF, not because its technically better.

That's an interesting generalization, but as far as I've heard from my friends and colleagues who have the Canon 1Ds and 1Ds II, it isn't true. They are even more sensitive to lens designs, particularly at the wide end of the spectrum. Godfrey __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
