I didn't want to start another FF vs. APS-C discussion. Personally, I benefit more from the added reach of APS-C, therefore I don't really plan buying a FF camera anytime soon.
Also, I don't think that weather sealing is that important, I just wanted to spotlight the differences between a late-80s consumer lens vs. a 2008 L lens besides optical quality (I know that some of the older primes are very good optically).
Anyway, I just thought it would be nice to see how well it stacks up on a high-resolution APS-C sensor. Of course the FF results point in the right direction but a dedicated APS-C test is always nice to have.
Anyway, thanks for the info. It's not that I'm eager to buy this lens, it's just on my "might buy one used if the price is right" list. <img src='http://forum.photozone.de/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/wink.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='
