[QUOTE="theregsy, post: 18679, member: 4398"] I think I am right in my thinking here but confirmation would be good. If I put a normal 50mm lens on my D2x with its crop factor I get the viewing angle of a 75mm lens, which is good. Now a lot of people recommend a lens of this type of zoom for Portrait work (70mm or so) now the crux of my question although my view looks like a 75mm I am still going to get the distortion of a 50mm lens in any portrait shots I take? as the distortion is inherent in the fact that it is a 50mm lens no matter what the crop factor might do to the viewing angle? Any comments welcome (before my head melts! LOL) Thanks Mark [/QUOTE]
