[QUOTE="blurredimage, post: 287423, member: 23590"] I would just like to introduce myself. I have had a on/off relationship with photography for at least 35 years. I currently own/use a Nikon FE2 w/50mm f1.4 lens that I purchased new in the 80's. I live near Nikon's main NY office in Melville LI.I recently brought my camera/lens in for service. Nikon serviced my lens although they no longer service my camera. I have recently completed a college level photography course that has renewed my interest in taking pictures. I am thinking of buying a DSLR. The top contenders are the Nikon D7100 or D610 but I have a few questions as I consider myself new to digital photography. I understand DX/FX formats for sensor size. DX images are cropped 1.4 times larger than FX format images. So my questions are: 1. Is a DX image shot on a D7100 at 24.1MP actually 24.1 MP or 1.4% less due to DX cropping. As compared to same image shot on FX format camera at same resolution. 2. Is the focal length of the [COLOR=inherit][FONT=Arial][URL="http://www.nikonusa.com/Nikon-Products/Product/Camera-Lenses/AF-S-DX-NIKKOR-18-140mm-f%252F3.5-5.6G-ED-VR.html"]AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR[/URL] [/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#000000][FONT=Arial]Or is the focal length for the 18-140mm actually 25.2mm - 196mm due to DX cropping same as if I use my Nikkor 50mm f1.4 on a DX format the focal length will be 70mm or 50mm x 1.4=70mm In other words are the focal lengths for DX lens correct or do I need to a 1.4 times conversion. thanks in advance for your input[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=inherit][FONT=Arial][/FONT][/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
