Comment by wadna posted on 100mm lens as a telephoto at 25/09/2011 - 13:10
I'm amused that people think APS-C can out perform FF for IQ. I haven't seen one that will do that but in due course "new" APS-C will out perform legacy FF. It's like claiming 35mm will out perform 120 format - bigger sensor/neg will perform better all other things being equal.
My list is similar to yours. Obviously IQ is tops. FPS? 5 would do. Mp? The D700 does a great job with 12Mp. so less than 20 would be fine. Large pixels improve DR. I would add a wish for a large bright viewfinder.

I have this lens also and liked it from day one although it does add more weight to the overall package compared to a camera fitted with the kit lens

Recently I've bought some primes which I'm loving but now I wonder what I will use for traveling next time; the 17-70 or the primes. The 17-70 makes more sense as it's so versatile & produces such good results. However I'll probably take a fast prime, probably the FA31 for low light & night shots - however the DA21 is excellent for street, it's compact & light too.
All good shots Bob but for Street I like images 2, 3 & 5 best although #1 is very appealing.

Since clicking Tv in the poll I've started using Tav.

They say that about the D7000 but it's a sony in there though, maybe adapted.

Presumably it's the one that says deterioration due to diffraction has probably already started by f11!

I am looking for a short telephoto to copliment my 35mm 50mm primes. I am looking at the various 100mm lenses but they all seem to be macro, are they suitable for telephoto usage still???
