Hi, my name is Will and I'm a recovering cropper. Started in DSLRs with the Canon 10D, 20D, went to Olympus for better glass, and have moved to NIkon due to the D700, the best digital camera I've used by far. This also very conveniently lets me use my old AI-s primes, since it meters normally and has manual focus confirmation. These primes are far superior and faster in most cases to even good modern zooms, and IMO better than most of Canon's primes. Being able to use my 105 f2.5 is great, and it is good to be able to grab a camera and 50mm f1.4 for a great deal of my work once again. I never intend to return to cropped sensor DSLR.

It is a liberating experience for those of use who grew up shooting fast - or not so fast - 50s as our bread and butter lenses. With marmalade (my best attempt at a Rabinerism...) Will von Dauster
