As far as I know, it won't make any difference except when you view the photos in Photoshop, or any other photo editing software, you will know what lens was used at what aperture. I know a lot of people think that is vital information but, normally, I couldn't care less; however, in these days of digital files everybody wants to know what lens you used on what camera at what exposures! That's no exaggeration. Several of my stock agencies require this information. As far as I'm concerned, they could just look at the photo and determine if it meets their criteria but since they are using photo editors who have exact parameters to meet and have never looked at a whole photo and thought about its impact, that's what we have to live with!!
