[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 214042, member: 12496"] Sorry, that is simply nonsense. You seem to be defending a wrong view without actually thinking about it. Think about it. No matter what lens magnification you use, the angles in the scene (lines from eye to points in scene, which is perspective) do not change with the lens. The lens may magnify larger, but it captures the scene it sees, meaning it cannot change angles in the scene. The scene angles can only change when you move to stand at a different distance. Normally we do stand back farther with a telephoto, which must be your argument, but my argument is about perspective standing in the same place. And DX is merely a crop, the same lens still does exactly the same thing (FX is just a wider uncropped view of the same scene from the same lens at same distance). Photo perspective is only about where we stand. For proper perspective (noses and such), portraits should stand back at about six or eight feet. Use the lens that gives the view you want to see from that distance. [/QUOTE]
