you cant judge a CAMERA BODY by the worst lenses out there for it, you have to judge it on its own merit, and that would be what it can do with the BEST lenses available. Secondly, I dont think its smart to "throw out" all improvement you can get with semi-wide to ultra long lenses just because SOME wide angles dont do so well on the FF camera. Ultra wide angle photography has always been a problem for small formats anyway, there just isnt enough resolution for fine details and everything is rendered very small on wide and ultra wide relatively speaking. jco

(and happy New Year) Hi, depends on the lenses you have. Camera body without lenses is totally useless. So, this leap can also be a total disaster, especially if you like to shoot with wide-angles. I am really not a fan of anti-vignetting and selective sharpening softwares... So, for me FF=film=for quality and APS=digital=for versatility. Z-1p and K10D. At least as long as they sell and process film. BR, Margus J. C.
