Definitely not, in my opinion. Because if that, the MF look would not be present on MF, since you then use the full image circle and get the usual harsher bokeh in the corners, and so forth.
I don\'t have any adapters for using my MF lenses (P67 and Hassy) on my Nikon, but it would be very interesting to do a comparison. I\'ve actually thought about trying the 75/4.5 on my D700 since it\'s so insanely sharp on 6x7, but I doubt it will fare well compared to anything of the same FL made for 24x36.
If you have some MF lenses that corresponds to FF lenses with the same FL, I suggest that you make some controlled tests. I might be wrong, but I believe that you will find the FF lenses better. Especially at the same f-stop.
The term \"better\" (whose definition) is not the issue here for me. The issue is \"more MF-like\" or different, more uniform, less vignetting, etc. ... it may not compare identically to the same FL made for 24x36 ... I would certainly hope not ... that\'s the entire point !!!. This is still the \"Alt Gear Forum\" isn\'t it?
I\'m not saying it replaces MF format, I\'m saying there is MF-like goodness to be harnessed for those who are open minded and willing to explore and you can get some of that goodness while you\'re still on the FF platform by using MF glass.
