urgent opinion needed digital lens with film camera

Going to a dusty place on holiday in the morning. Don't want to change lens
on my D80 whilst out there. Recovered my Nikon F60 from the attic and are
thinking of using that with the SIGMA 12-24mmD DG HSM.

What are the likely results going to be?

There ain't no such thing as a digital lens. All lenses are purely
optical, no 'digital' involved in the processing of the image at all.

Is this a full frame or a reduced image circle lens?

If it is a full frame lens then you shouldn't have any problems.

If it is a reduced image circle lens then you will probably have at
least some vignetting at at least some focal lengths.

Hi,not sure about the meaning of image circle lens/full frame lens, however,
the lens is described as being suitable for a full frame camera.

Yes, the DG part of the lens designation is Sigma's notation for a lens
having full 24x36mm frame coverage, together with improved coatings to
reduce flare and ghosting when used with digital sensors.

It should work fine with your F60.

The word "Sigma" equates with fecal matter.

And you claim 63+ years of expertise?

No, I think the description "fecal matter" more aptly describes your reply.

You introduced the subject. You are obviously fanscinated by it. Now shut
up before I have you removed from usenet.

Hello, George:

The original poster ("nicholas" <nicholas@spammehere.com>), in this thread, is
NOT who you think he is (i.e., Nicholas <Nicholas@nowhere.net>).

Don't believe me? Then, check their respective headers, and you'll see that
"nicholas" (lowercase spelling) is British, whereas "Nicholas" is American.

Besides, "nicholas" has come off as a somewhat polite poster, or haven't you
noticed?


Cordially,
John Turco <jtur@concentric.net>

And you would be the one with a piece of crap lens and not know any better.

Moron.

BTW:That's "Mister Kerby" with a capital "K" to you, boy!

I'm surprised that you don't know the answer to that already! To quote you
from another post: "I am 63+ and have spent my entire LIFE in photography at
all levels of the practice. My little finger contains more knowledge about
photography than Coe has in his entire body."

Hello, XxYyZz:

Nope, you're mistaken, as "nicholas" <nicholas@spammehere.com> and Nicholas
<Nicholas@nowhere.net> aren't the same person.

(Please, see my earlier reply to George Kerby <ghost_topper@hotmail.com>,
for further info.)
