Originally posted by aurele F/ FA lenses are build for film (24x36), DA are build for digital (23,6 x 15,8 mm). F/FA lenses fit all body without vignetting. DA lense still fit on all body but with vignetting sometimes.
It is obviously advantage for having F/FA lens which gets rid of vignetting. I looked at some primes (35, 40, 43, 50). Those which are F/FA have usually stronger CA, then DA.
According measurement they do on Photozone:
Which numbers should I be worry about according CA and vignetting? When picture starts to be unpleasant on first view?
Thank you for your "macro" shots. I can understand, you will get close image, right?
So picture from DA35 will cover more or it covers the same, but you can get near to subject?
(I am really sorry, but whatever technical written according lens is very new for me. I am point and click person mostly, but I try to learn).
