[QUOTE="RocketCowboy, post: 511306, member: 25095"] No need to apologize on the mix of subjects! It makes it a tougher decision for you when selecting/prioritizing gear, unless you stay generalized in your selections. As one who's been acquiring FX glass with my DX body with the expectation that I'll end up shooting FX at some point, I'm not the best at discouraging the practice. That said, the two cons that come to mind are cost and weight. Because FX glass needs to project a larger image to the sensor, the lens is typically heavier and costs more because of the materials used. The DX optimized lenses can take advantage of the smaller sensor/image, and so will often times end up being a more compact design that both weighs less and costs less. [/QUOTE]
