Do we need full frame and to much resolution

The first part of your comment is correct. The second part is not.
For Example, a 300mm Tele lens will show as much detail in its APS-C section taken with a full frame camera. Always assuming the Amount of pixels has increased to the same extend as the size of the sensor.

Hi Horst, the difference I was trying to point out is that an APS-C lens of equivalent focal length, _could_ be formulated to be better across the APS-C image circle than the FF equivalent because it doesn't have to worry about the 'edges' of the FF frame. Granted many 'FF' lenses didn't worry too much about the edges either...

Obviously the FF lens is almost always better in the centre than edges and therefore provides its best performance in the APS-C image circle. But any APS-C lenses 'designed for digital' might be able to resolve more detail, and for the same focal length/max. aperture combination could be significantly smaller/lighter/cheaper than FF equivalents.

I assumed I'd never need all 24 megapixels of the K3, just something to fill my SD cards faster. That was until I stuck a half decent bit of glass in front of it. Sigma 50mm 1.4 is really sharp, and the K3 pics it up really well.

I much prefer the hold and balance of the Vaughn Hammer although
I wish I had a 24oz. Estwing Hammer.... like the pro's have.

I must confess that I rarely knock any nails in I just
like holding a hammer

My wife on the other hand is quite happy with the
Junior Plumbers Outfit she bought and has no
desire to ever own a hammer

I have an Estwing hammer and I must admit it is great, but it is wasted on a Plumber

I had an Estwing hatchet once, horrible thing, I threw it away!

I prefer those "crinkly" nails anyway, the ones with the cross on the top...

I have a Estwing 14oz chipping hammer and Estwing gold pan from my time in Durango, but I think I have just gone way of topic

Is that 'topic' or 'to-pick' ?

What you need are lenses, more lenses, bigger lenses, better lenses, faster lenses, vintage lenses and when you have these, your pictures will be perfect!
