I’m thinking of buying the 23 1.4 WR to cover the focal lengths 35, 40 and 50mm. I would make to of the sports finder mode and the1.4 digital crop.

Some thibgs you should consider:

- The digital teleconverter doesn't affect the raw: you end with a cropped jpeg and a complete raw (the sports finder does crop the raw AFAIK)

- The sports finder and the teleconverter are 2 different options on the menus, so you'll need 2 buttons to use both option (you can't assign both options to the same button)

- The sports finder can only be used with the mechanical shutter

Are there any downsides to this? I only print up to A3 and so the loss of resolution shouldn’t matter.

90% of what I shoot is in this focal range and it seems a good, lightweight, one lens coption.

Comments please.

If you know how a cropped sensor affects IQ, then this is exactly the same: it will change your DoF, DR, resolution and noise to signal ratio

I printed a x1.5 crop to a size of 30cmx45cm (bigger than DinA3+) and it is comoletely fine
