The best compromise for me to this day I think. But it is true I hate carrying three bodies when I can just have one and I expect an only camera to shoot from UWA to long tele shots. Of course, YOMV Still having both cameras, I'll try to post a comparison shot of D700 with a 1.4 50mm and X-T1 with 1.4 35mmm later in the day/week. Different birds, different feathers for all I know. Amities Philippe Le 4 janv. 2015 ? 05:16, Frank Verizon1 <red735i at verizon.net> a ?crit : > Smaller format sensors can use smaller lenses.
