True but there's a Full frame Canon that's listed at over £4.5k and a Full Frame Nikon at over £3k.

If you look on page 1 of this tread you'll see some images taken with the 7-14 at 7mm I's very fast at f4.o, the 14mm Heliar is 5.6 I think. but it suffers a lot of exposure variation between the centre and edge of the frame, so may also need a special Schott filter which is very expensive. It brings the speed down to f11.o though!

With the launch of the Nikon D700 the full frame sensor question makes its way to the front of our minds once again. There was a time we all demanded full frame, and reckoned nothing else would do. Is it still as important as it was, or have the improvements in technology left you happy with APS-C? Still like the idea of big viewfinders and wide lenses?



Its definitely still important to me. The deciding factor for me when I buy a DSLR will be the range of lenses available (for me that means fast, mainly wide-angle, prime lenses), not such things as in-camera processing or liveview. Cropped frame cameras (at least, those more than x1.3) are a non-starter from my PoV.
