[QUOTE="Steve B, post: 248158, member: 15754"] As 480sparky said a 50mm lens is a 50mm lens no matter what. The difference is that a 50mm lens on a DX body will have an equivalent FOV of a 75mm lens on an FX body. This doesn't have to do with focal length directly though. It has to do with how much of the image circle is "used" by the sensor. A lens designed for an FX body produces a larger image circle than a lens created specifically for a DX body. That is why people talk about the DX bodies using the "sweet spot" of the FX lens. [/QUOTE]
