Originally posted by jatrax I finally got around to shooting another family picture. So I am ready for FF. The real question is: Do I want it? I've gotten used to and very happy with shooting on APS-C. If I move to FF then all my glass will seem very short. Well, at least we have time to think about it.
Can anyone spot the 'oops'?
Nice set, I have that 35-135 too... great little walkabout lens, but man, is that front plastic filter ring fragile! It "almost" makes a decent lens hood, but is a terrible bumper!
I am ready for FF and have also resisted buying more DA lenses, but then again, I never bought too many APSC lenses to begin with either...(DA55-300, DA16-45, Tamron 17-50 f2.8 are about it really)
I'm lacking a good flat field FF ultra wide, but I'll deal with that over time.
in the FF lens department I've been accumulating and am very happy with these on APSC. Hope they work as well under the higher MP and FF:
FA50 1.4
F35-135
F70-210
Vivitar 100mm 2.8 Macro
Tamron AF 28-75 F2.8
Tamron SP AF 70-200 F2.8
Tamron AF 1.4x Tele
SMC Tak 17mm fish
I have several other FF lenses, but I think some kind of a mix of some of a few of these would end up in my go-to kit for my medium Lowpro trekker depending on the occasion.
What's kind of amusing is that the large aperture Tamron's are good copies with no decentering (at least not visible on APSC yet) and are probably my sharpest zooms with the nicest bokeh, but if I had to choose based on color rendition, I like the old school Pentax F series, even with the slow, noisey old AF that makes people jump from 10ft away. LOL!
