>>32044 I didn't specifically mean Nikon lenses, just Nikon mount lenses, For example compare the Nikon 28-70mm f2.8 to the Sigma 24-70 f2.8, Sigma is 1/3rd the price, but only DX.
Then look at the Sigma 15-30mm And the Sigma 10-20mm, 15-30mm is more expensive, but it can be mounted on film cameras (at the exact same focal length as a DSLR)
just stuff like that, also some of their DX lenses aren't so hot quality wise, 18-55 and 18-135 come to mind right away.
Plus full frame lenses can be used on Nikon Film bodies, Which I don't have yet, BUT I do plan on getting one specifically for B&W shots. And I don't completely trust Nikon's promise that they won't make a full frame sensor, If Canon's 5D takes off (Which I think it somewhat will) Then Nikon basically has no choice but to follow in their footsteps or get left in the dust when their previous clientelle leaves them.
Its how the market works!
