RE: [Digital BW] Nikon lens mount changes

2003-06-13 by Seth Rossman

But my 20mm on film does the same thing.  I am waiting to see how the 12-24
acts.  It's supposed to be rectilinear (aren't they all in the ads??).

It's the long end that's a blessing on the news side. 300/2.8 is cheaper and
lighter than a 400/2.8. 80-200/2.8 is cheaper and lighter than a 300/2.8.

Even in the film days, it was VERY rare to shoot a news picture wider than a
28mm.
