Right. But "wise purchase" in place of "investment" makes sense, and
whether or not one buys or doesn't buy EFS glass, it's good to think it
through. I've come to decide I will not be buying cropped lenses, but
that's my decision, and I have my reasons which are right for me. A FF
body is in my future.


Indeed. I own only one DX lens for my Nikon D70. I often shoot with slide
film on my F100 and would love if both cameras could use the same lenses. I
don't want separate wide angle lenses for each camera, but that is where
things stand today. I also look forward to the day that Nikon creates a 35mm
sensor DSLR.
