[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 210187, member: 12496"] No, it won't help at all if you are beginner, and never saw anything but DX. But if you grew up with 35 mm film, you know all about how much which lenses will show. Equivalent views to compare FX to this new DX size is extremely useful. How much will a 50 mm lens show on DX? The same view as 75mm lens on FX is very much to know. 35mm film size was in wide use for 75 years, and old dogs and tricks, you know? The relatively new FX cameras are like old home week now, they work as they should. :) The views are quite different. The DX field of view very definitely is 2/3 of a FX view, or the same view as FX with a lens 1.5x longer. If that comparison helps you to plan it, you will bless knowing this. If you don't know and don't care, it won't. But when articles speak of the advantages of old classic 50mm and 105mm film lenses, and you use DX, then it helps to know a thing or two about converting the principles. [/QUOTE]
