More manufacturers and "third party" lens makers are introducing "digital-dedicated" lenses for their digital SLRs, which are smaller and lighter, but cannot be used on their film SLR counterparts because of the smaller image circle they throw. When considering a lens for your digital SLR, is it important that it work just as well on your film SLR?

Ahhh, Marketing. I wouldn't trade my Contax Film Equipment for a 100MP digital system no matter what size the sensor is even if you paid me.
