Photo Forum / Digital Photography / Digital Photo / May 2008urgent opinion needed digital lens with film camera
Going to a dusty place on holiday in the morning. Don't want to change lens on my D80 whilst out there. Recovered my Nikon F60 from the attic and are thinking of using that with the SIGMA 12-24mmD DG HSM. What are the likely results going to be? > [Subject: digital lens] There ain't no such thing as a digital lens. All lenses are purely optical, no 'digital' involved in the processing of the image at all. >Going to a dusty place on holiday in the morning. Don't want to change lens >on my D80 whilst out there. Recovered my Nikon F60 from the attic and are >thinking of using that with the SIGMA 12-24mmD DG HSM. Is this a full frame or a reduced image circle lens? >What are the likely results going to be? If it is a full frame lens then you shouldn't have any problems. If it is a reduced image circle lens then you will probably have at least some vignetting at at least some focal lengths. jue >> [Subject: digital lens] > [quoted text clipped - 16 lines] > > jue Hi,not sure about the meaning of image circle lens/full frame lens, however, the lens is described as being suitable for a full frame camera. > Hi,not sure about the meaning of image circle lens/full frame lens, > however, the lens is described as being suitable for a full frame > camera. Yes, the DG part of the lens designation is Sigma's notation for a lens having full 24x36mm frame coverage, together with improved coatings to reduce flare and ghosting when used with digital sensors. It should work fine with your F60.

No, I think the description "fecal matter" more aptly describes your reply.

Hello, George: The original poster ("nicholas" <nicholas@spammehere.com>), in this thread, is NOT who you think he is (i.e., Nicholas <Nicholas@nowhere.net>). Don't believe me? Then, check their respective headers, and you'll see that "nicholas" (lowercase spelling) is British, whereas "Nicholas" is American. Besides, "nicholas" has come off as a somewhat polite poster, or haven't you noticed? Cordially, John Turco <jtur@concentric.net> >> Going to a dusty place on holiday in the morning.

I'm surprised that you don't know the answer to that already! To quote you from another post: "I am 63+ and have spent my entire LIFE in photography at all levels of the practice. My little finger contains more knowledge about photography than Coe has in his entire body." > > Going to a dusty place on holiday in the morning.

Hello, XxYyZz: Nope, you're mistaken, as "nicholas" <nicholas@spammehere.com> and Nicholas <Nicholas@nowhere.net> aren't the same person. (Please, see my earlier reply to George Kerby <ghost_topper@hotmail.com>, for further info.) Cordially, John Turco <jtur@concentric.net> > Going to a dusty place on holiday in the morning.

Post the results, this should be fun with that lens on full frame! SignaturePaul Furman www.edgehill.net www.baynatives.com all google groups messages filtered due to spam |
