I agree with Misha, if you are going to spend out on a lens, you might as well have a lens that can be used both on film/full frame and the smaller sensors. I have used both a digital lens (not mine) and my own full fame lenses. I have seen little difference, except for the full lenses tending to look a little sharper. Ok to be fair I have only used one digital lens so cant make a real comparison. Ok if using a full frame style lens, on a DSLR with a smaller sensor, the outer portion of the optic in not used due to the crop, so IMO and as I understand it, the outer portion of a lens is less sharp than the inner portion of the lens and therefore using a full lens should produce a better quality image!?! Based on conversation and images that I have seen/shot
