In reply to dark goob, May 25, 2012

"They" should have never have marketed lenses for a DX size sensor (or any "cropped" sensor) in 135 terms. If the view was 35mm equivalent call it a 35mm lens, even if it is a 24mm lens on a 135 format camera. If the lens wasn't going to ever go on a 135 format camera, why even bring up what it would have been? It serves no purpose.
