G’Day Incs,
I was interested to hear in Episode 469 more of David Marland’s impressions of progressing from a crop sensor camera to a full frame.
I thought that a full frame meant that it was better for shooting in low light (not something that I do much) and that you could make prints large enough to fully cover the lounge room wall with great resolution. Again, not my thing.
However, David talked about ” a new vista” opening up with his wide angle lens and “a new view of the world”. He also mentions increased depth of field.
I’m going to stick my neck out here and ask you for some serious advice as follows:
If I lash out and buy a full frame ‘prosumer’ level camera such as a Nikon D780 to replace my trusty but aging D7000:
(a) Will I need to buy new lenses? I currently have a Nikkor 18-200mm, a Nikkor 10-24mm and a Tokina 100mm macro.
(b) If I can use these on a D780 (the mount appears to be the same) will I be at a disadvantage with ‘B grade’ lenses? David mentioned that he’s glad he “invested in full frame lenses” to start with. What does that mean?
(c) The depth of field comment intrigued me. How does a full frame affect this?
I shoot mainly landscape, architectural and macro photos and print very little, mainly posting online to Flickr.
So I’m wondering whether spending somewhere north of three grand is worth it given my modus operandi.
Any serious advice will be much appreciated.
Regards, Rob Coates
