The same is for Sony.
You are missing the point. Because of the crop factor, FF lenses are larger/heavier than APS-C, which in turn are larger/heavier than m4/3. The fact that FF bodies are relatively not much larger/heavier than APS-C doesn't change the lens size/weight equation. Unless FF can achieve significantly better results, why would anyone get it? -- Hugs and backrubs -- I break Rule 6 http://rule6.info/ <*> <*> <*> Help a hearing-impaired person: http://rule6.info/hearing.html -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
