I know,. It was the sensor statements that I hadn't heard before.

Re: Adorama piece on fast fifties
From: Steven Desjardins I know,. It was the sensor statements that I hadn't heard before. And no dis intended, but I'd be more interested if they had included the Pentax sensors. One of the conclusions is that the faster lens allows light to hit the sensor at oblique angles at the edges, negating the advantage of the faster lens. I'd be curious to know if that is holds true when using the fast lens on a camera with an APS-C sensor (like Pentax) as it apparently does on the two cameras listed that both have FX sensors?

Re: Adorama piece on fast fifties
I should have pointed out the part I found interesting given that Pentax isn't mentioned. I did wonder about the smaller sensor because of the cropping of the image with an FA lens.

Re: Adorama piece on fast fifties
The sensels are constructed the same way, so it's reasonable that they'd have the same characteristics. Just using the center of the lens won't negate that the sensels don't respond well to obliquely angled light.
