[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 331995, member: 9240"] I see. So you're positing that FX cameras tend to have faster glass available within certain focal ranges. While I won't argue, I believe that's both changing, and more a matter of cost more than availability. The trinity lenses can be used on both, so the only place you "lose" range is at the ultra-wide end. Of course, a 36-105mm lens is less flexible a walk-around than a 24-70mm, and a 14-24mm (21-36mm) isn't exactly an ultra-wide, so I understand your point. Thankfully 3rd party makers like Sigma are starting to see the value in filling this void and are putting out great lenses like the 18-35mm f/1.8 at a price point that makes FX users drool uncontrollably. So sometimes trading up involves a bit of compromise as well. :) [/QUOTE]
