[QUOTE="Don Kuykendall_RIP, post: 520970, member: 6277"] I think you will find the 50mm is a bit wide for a DX camera. The nifty 50 term came from the 35mm film cameras many years ago. It gave basically the same field of view as the human eye did so it was the standard lens on most cameras. With the DX camera to get the same effect you will need to use the 35mm lens. That is the closest you can get to the 50mm in the DX. take your standard kit lens if you have one and set it on 50mm and do not change change the zoom. Now go walk around for a while and shoot without moving the zoom off of 50mm. Now set it on 35mm and do that same. Be sure to shoot indoors on single people and small groups. like 3-5 people like you might get in normal shooting of family groups. When I did this I found that at 50mm I could not always back up enough to get the shot I needed at times. With my 35mm I have a much better chance of getting the shot I want. [/QUOTE]
