[QUOTE="Eyelight, post: 341228, member: 24753"] Well, I was intending to reply with quote and hit the like button. The 50mm on DX will work for a portrait lens. I have been rolling this around in my little brain the last few days and performed some highly complex calculations:D, and can report that a 50mm on DX will be fine, peachy, etc. Distance is more critical than focal length. It would be a mistake to throw a 50mm on an FX and move in closer to fill the frame, but the 50mm on DX keeps you at a similar working distance as an 85mm on FX. Distance is more critical than focal length. The thing to remember is distance is more critical than focal length. [/QUOTE]
