I'm glad I stayed with Nikon for digital. Nikon's wide angles are sharp all
the way to the corners on a fullframe camera. I used the 24mmm f2.8D and
28mm f2.8D AF-Nikkor lenses on the Kodak 14n I had, and the results were
always very sharp. If I ever have the money to get another digital camera, I
already have a set of good lenses.
