[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 339026, member: 13090"] Are you asking about the DX Crop Factor? Because an 85mm lens has an 85mm focal length regardless of what body it's mounted on. If you want to apply the DX crop factor of 1.5 an 85mm lens gives a field of view equal to 127.5mm while a 50mm would have a field of view equal to 75mm. That's field of view, NOT focal length; that's a critical thing to understand. [COLOR=#ffffff]....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
