[QUOTE="480sparky, post: 248156, member: 15805"] The only difference between an FX and DX lens is the size of the circle they project. FX lenses need to project a larger circle to cover the larger FX sensor. DX lenses project a smaller circle as they only need to cover a smaller area of the DX-format sensor. Focal length has nothing to do with the size of the sensor of the camera... it's a matter of optics that determines to focal length. A 50mm lens is still 50mm, whether it's on a cell phone camera or an 8x10 view camera. [/QUOTE]
