[QUOTE="LudwigVB, post: 213934, member: 17373"] I daresay many of you have already seen this YouTube video [url=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nG1pN5Vic8E]50mm Prime Lens is NOT a Portrait Lens - YouTube[/url] . Some people have commented saying they agree with the opinion of Gregory Cazillo. Personally, I think that he is correct for a full frame (FX) sensor, but [I]not[/I] a crop (DX) sensor. I think Mr Cazillo fails to understand that perspective distortion depends entirely on the camera-to-subject distance, which will naturally be greater with DX than with FX for the same field of view. 50mm FL on a DX sensor gives equivalent FOV to 75mm on an FX sensor, which makes it a good candidate for portrait use. What do you think? [/QUOTE]
