I went from crop x 2 to full frame for various reasons, then I'm now back to 
1.5 x.

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.
