I'm not sure, Chris. I've been wondering the same thing since I wrote
earlier, but haven't checked. I've just always assumed that it was.
... Just checked, yes, designed for APS format.

There's plenty of good normals for full-frame. Some of the fast
(fixed) wide-angles are disappearing. Pity.

I put the Elmar back on the IIIf. I like Elmars too and I like the
size of the package (IIIf + Elmar). It's easy to always carry along.
