PJ's across the world must be doing back flips for joy, because due to the increased DOF sub FF systems offer, they can finally shoot in the dark and have everyone in focus. But if you want just the eyes of a subject in focus and their ears out of focus, while shooting with the FOV of a 50, you are screwed, unless the sensor is FF. Guess I'll need a full frame AND an APS size digital M. ;-) feli ________________________________________________________ feli2@earthlink.net 2 + 2 = 4 www.elanphotos.com no archive
