They seem to think both DX and FX will be around for a while. They probably know at least as much about it as I do! Were it not for my uses for extreme high ISOs, I would have stayed with DX. It's easy to get 15mm-e for DX on the wide end, which is wider than I'd ever had before on film, and I think of myself as mostly a telephoto guy anyway, where DX is a clear-cut win. But I did want the extreme ISOs, and so ended up with a D700, FX, and had to change out some lenses in a hurry. As compensation I'm playing with a full-circle fisheye, and I've got out to 12mm wide which I've had some fun with, but those are all new areas, not my primary photographic goals. -- David Dyer-Bennet, dd-b@xxxxxxxx; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info
