[QUOTE="Eyelight, post: 341582, member: 24753"] My apologies, as I realized I missed something which led to a misstatement on my part. The further consideration reading does indeed support what you are saying in regards to a full frame 35mm camera. What I should have said was that it does not disprove what I had stated. The boudoir article touches on DX and specially states the info presented relates to full-frame. I don't think the other two even mention DX, and since pros tend to work and think full frame, there is no reason to apply their ideas to a smaller format. Same as if you were reading an article on 8x10 camera work may not apply to FX. It is a fact that a larger format camera requires a longer lens to work at the same distance as a smaller format. The inverse fact is, it requires a shorter lens on a smaller format to work at the same distance as a larger format. This should be a clue that 50mm will work fine on DX. [/QUOTE]
