When you move up
to a larger sensor is anyone guaranteeing you that the full sensor camera will
have the same lens mount as your current camera? Remeber we're in the age if
disposable everything including camera gear so unless you're buying professional
gear, chances are the camera and lens you buy today may not even function in 5
years. So my question is this - how far away is 'later on'?
Buy the lens that
gives you closest to what you want today. I love wide angle distortion but my
Rebel XT is equipped with a smaller sensor so I do not shoot wide angle. Such is
life.
