That page shows that a wide angle lens is NOT wide angle when used on a non-full frame sensor.
@tychay: you aren’t paying attention. Look at this: http://tinyurl.com/2hp9ua

The Nikon PR rep is @jratlee — He’s a new media specialist at MWW and Nikon is a client of theirs.
@mkrigasman that was a mistake due to me playing with a new image editor.
tychay: you’re full of it. A 24 on a D3 is a lot wider than it is on the D80.
@tychay: cause I can’t afford medium format and a rangefinder sucks for other things.
Brad made us all jealous at school because we were forced to share a crapy old Nikon one.
I remember when Brad Mangin, now with Sports Illustrated, bought a 300 F2.8 on his credit cards.
Look at that shot and see the guy to the left? He wouldn’t be there if I was using a non-full-frame sensor camera.
@mkrigsman: absolutely. http://www.flickr.com/photos/scobleizer/2116206193/ this shot wouldn’t be the same.
@mkrigsman yes, I’d still buy the 5D. I love it.
@ahockley is right. Skill matters far more than camera does.
@jratlee: we’ll do a photowalk just for testing out the 3D. Probably night and sports stuff.
@bentrem: I almost was a pro photographer and I love wide angles. I couldn’t stand not to use one.
