Originally posted by Catscradle Many lenses (the DAs) say they are designed specifically for non-full frame and they won't work properly with full frame. Not that I'm getting a FF, but I'm curious about this issue. What is it about their design that makes them inappropriate for a full frame. I would think the effect of the focal length would change, but I don't understand why it should be otherwise different. Can somebody enlighten me?
APS-C lenses are much more compact than FF lenses, and more affordable since you don't need to use as much glass. That's the main motivation for going APS-C only (i.e. look at the DA limiteds).
