Originally posted by danny09 I second that. Norm was one of the loudest voices contemptous of the entire Full Frame bandwagon. What happened? Change of heart?
What makes you think I'm not still contemptuous of the FF band wagon? I've heard carpenters discuss what hammer they like. But, I have to say, when I have framing to do, I pick up a framing hammer. But I don't let framers tell me to use one for attaching mouldings to fine furniture.
Dispelled my points are unchanged.
95% of what you can do with an FF you can do with APS-c
95% of what you can do with APS_c you can do with FF.
There's huge overlap... where they do the same thing. My use favours the advantages APS-c brings to the table.
Does that mean i can't own a Point and Shoot like my W90, because I understand what it brings to the table.
Does that mean I can't own a 645z should I go that way?
Now if I can just throw an FF in my bag to be my second body... that to me is it's place in the universe. But I would never sell my APS-c to do that. It will always be a back up body for use where APS-c is at a disadvantage.
The only thing that has changed is I'm contemplating carrying 3 formats instead of 2, one of which is an FF, as long as I have room in my bag for it.
And at the price it's offered, it doesn't even cost me anything. I buy one during my next upgrade cycle, continue to use my K-3, and take it off the shelf to put in my camera bag when it's convenient, and I'd rather have it than a lens in that spot in the camera bag. Don't be thinking I think any format deserves a bandwagon, any more than some type of hammer deserves a bandwagon. And the nonsense the bandwagon jumpers were throwing around was too stupid for words.
Shooting FF improves your resolution and therefore IQ. - The truth? Shooting more MP improves your resolution and IQ, it has not much to do with format.
Your best lens on APS-c isn't as good as your worst lens on FF. - Absolute nonsense. Your best lens on a 6D isn't as good as your worst lens on a K-3.
Every image you take with an FF is better than if you took the same page with APS-c- the truth? You can't even take the same image with a long lens on FF you can take with APS-c forget about a better image.
FF uses more total light than APS-c. the truth? Hogwash, the same image has the same DoF, by the time you stop down the FF to match APS-c DoF, you are using the same total light.
I was never anti FF... I was anti BS. Nothing changed.
My campaign has not been anti-FF, it's been anti BS.
You can see what's wrong with what people are saying about a format, but, that's different than saying you can't see any use for the format. I found on this forum, I was often forced into a position where I was the only one standing up to the BSers. I just have one of those personalities where I have trouble letting stuff like that go, just to promote some fake "harmony." I like real harmony, when we actually come to an understanding by working through these things.
