[QUOTE="Woodyg3, post: 359227, member: 24569"] It doesn't change the focal length, that's a physical property of the lens that can't change. In the case of the 70-200mm, with the smaller sensor of a DX, it gives the same field of view as a 105-300 on a 35mm camera or FX Nikon digital camera, which has a sensor the same size as a 35mm film negative. it's all sort of semantics, and yet it's important to understand the difference. Edit: I see Wayne beat me by a couple of minutes with a more complete explanation. :) [/QUOTE]
