Apr 19, 2012 10:32 | #4 @ Echo - Not sure in the slightest. I use a 40D and 7D so I can't help you compare with a FF. Hopefully someone else will come along and be able to help.

One thing I wonder about is how an 8-16mm on a crop body compares to a 12-24mm II on a FF body. It's meant to be exactly equivalent, though it only works for Nikon's size of APS-C (1.5x crop); for Canon it's equivalent to 12.8-25.6mm on FF. Mark.

The lens is very fun to use. You do have to be careful of that bulbous front element though. If you're going to get really close to something, I suggest putting your hand on it and then moving the lens closer and closer to your hand.

Yes, size and cost are the answers. Also, an ultra-wide angle lens has no need for constant apertures. Lenses like this have enormous depth of field, so it's no big deal having variable aperture. Finally, constant aperture lenses are generally no better optically than variable aperture. Hugh

. No CPL use isn't too bad at that focal length but not being able to use ND's seems like too much of a sacrifice.
