Your post indicates that at least some people find my categorization confusing. Since the digital SLR lenses and 35mm SLR lenses are being used on the same cameras, I think they should be in the same review section so they can be compared. After all, if I can choose between a 35mm lens and a digital lens, it's very possible that I'll go with the 35mm lense because it has superior image quality or I'm also using it on a full-frame digital SLR or a 35mm SLR. Does that make sense? It just doesn't seem right to separate them. I think the solution is to change the name of the category to something like "35mm and DSLR Lenses." What do you think?

I'm going to copy this post to the Digital SLR forum to see if I can get some more opinions. It's a good topic for discussion.

Thanks!

I'd prefer to see full-frame lenses in one category and APS lenses in a second category. Leave the converter section for converters. I really think that most people think in those terms, they are unlikely to have no choice in mind to start with. Personally, I decided on only full-frame lenses a while back and can't imagine buying a lens in the APS format. Do we really want to clutter the reviews up by mixing both types? But then, maybe I'm wrong about this...
