[QUOTE="LouCioccio, post: 147798, member: 12542"] I think this is where the confusion comes in; and I might be wrong. The crop factor relates to the sensor not to the lens. The 50mm lens mounted on your D7000 or on a D800 (FF) are identical. Since the sensor on the D7000 is smaller the viewer or what the lens see is cropped image (factor 1.5 of FF). So your 35mm does see moderate wide angle but it would be like you cropping the FF by 1.5 but printing both the same size like an 8x10. If you would crop the FF 35mm to same dimension as the one that came from the d7000 they would be identical. Even though the same rules applied from film at 35mm; so if you had a 28mm wide angle and took an image of a group of people edge to edge as we know that the two end people would be distorted. Follow me so far. But if I cropped those two end people out that what I would see with my D7000 at the same distance say 10 foot. Now using the same rules we used in the old days my normal lens was a 35mm as 50mm (even though normal) I needed to get back or push a wall out to take images of friends and family. Some of us old timers remember we went an bought a 35mm lens. So 28 or 35 mm good for groups and scenics, 50 mm "normal" lets say a full length to 3/4 portrait. The 75-85 mm for head and shoulders and the 135 to 200mm for full face. It just us with cropped sensors will have to move farther back then we did when we had 35 mm film. My 2¢ Lou Cioccio [/QUOTE]
