[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 385431, member: 9240"] DX glass is meant for DX sensors, so anything outside of that crop is suspect. FX glass, even cheap FX glass, will usually shine in the centers and crap out on the extremes, so when you consider that you're cropping out 56% of your frame then even cheap FX glass should perform extremely well on any crop, even when it rates so-so to poorly on a full frame sensor. I have only used DX glass on an FX sensor in a pinch or for effect. Manufacturers only care about what's in the frame (hint-hint - that's why 3rd part DX glass tends to rate better on Canon than Nikon because of the 1.6x crop on the Canon vs. the 1.5x crop on Nikon), so unless you're willing to crop to [I]their[/I] standards you'll likely be disappointed. But that's not to say that you can't find cool images in the world of the "unsharp". [/QUOTE]
