Default Why does Nikon keep making FF lenses?

The accepted definition of "full frame" is 35mm equivalent. By pretending
that you don't know this or trying to redefine the term you're exposing
yourself as ignorant, loony, or trolling.

I shudder to think what the music industry would be like if they clung to
the notion that good CDs would have to be full frame, ie vinyl record size.
Why we compare melons with goldfish in the photo world is beyond me, saying
that a good goldfish should be melon sized and vice versa. The mediums are
so incredibly different that only end results are of importance. So if, in a
couple of years time, a sensor comes along thats 2x2 cm and WAY better than
film in picture quality we'll spit on it?? The "full frame" crap is just for
the huge 35mm lens base out there, and it will take some time for the notion
to simply wither and go away.
