Very few lenses talk to the FS100.
May I suggest the Nikon 17-35mm F2.8 ED lens as one of your best compromises. At 35mm you can use the narrow DOF at F2.8, while at 17mm at F8 and up most things are in focus.
Its a real beauty of a lens. Many people think its one of the best lenses that Nikon/Nikkor made. Sharp throughout AND it doesn't extend at all. It won't auto anything though unless birger decides to build a mount.

Well explained, Ryan....for a "moran".
Seriously, I'm glad you took the time to catch that misinformation. You're right in that it confuses the heck out of newbies (like me) when you move from the FF world into the crop sensor world.
Just remember, a 50mm lens remains a 50mm lens. Its the field of view that changes.
