Sigma 12-24. - wim - 07-15-2010 [quote name='popo' date='14 July 2010 - 01:44 PM' timestamp='1279107878' post='999'] To be more specific on that, only Canon EF-S lenses can't be normally used on their full frame bodies, as they do protrude a little into the mirror area. However the 3rd party APS-C lenses I've tried don't have that protrusion, so can work if you don't mind the smaller image circle. [/quote] Yes, true. However, the image circle does get wider the more you zoom out, see my previous post <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':o' />.

[/quote] This is the case for some lenses ... but not for all. The Tamron 17-50 for instance does never fill the image of a FF camera. (Regardless which focal length you use and which aperture). Sigma 12-24. - wim - 07-15-2010 Hi Rainer, [quote name='Rainer' date='15 July 2010 - 12:22 PM' timestamp='1279189374' post='1021'] This is the case for some lenses ... but not for all.

Many lenses do however, especially the (U)WA zooms. I guess it is a matter of trial and error <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrin.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />. Kind regards, Wim |
