But having it turn into a 120mm I'm less into.... The idea of shooting through just the center section of that gorgeous work of art lens which I paid $3,495.00 for in sept of my 2000 years really does appeal a lot less to me. For $3,495.00 I'd want the edges. That's where a lot of that money went. Making sure the edges would be there. <<< Likewise for me with my gorgeous 280mm f/4 APO-Telyt. OTOH using the center section is a lot more productive than having it get dusty on a shelf because I can't use the corners. There are full-frame cameras from N and C that it can be adapted to but with these cameras I'd be limited to a manual aperture, an inadequate viewfinder, and mush from an AA filter. I prefer to use the center section than to slow it down and dilute its gorgeousness.
