[QUOTE="singlerosa_RIP, post: 574689, member: 15556"] A 50mm lens on full frame turns into a 75mm lens on DX. My Ultra wide 14-24 zoom would be a 21-36 on DX (with 1.5 crop factor). Not very ultra wide on DX. 24-70 = 36-105 70-200 = 105-300 (sometimes that's OK) It's really OK when I put the Nikon 200-500 zoom on my D7200 and get an effective 300-750. My 85mm portrait lens would be 127mm and I'd have to back up a bit more to shoot portraits etc., etc....... DX lenses are designed to work on DX bodies. If I want an ultra wide lens, I buy a Nikon 10-24 or a Tokina 11-16. If I want the standard 2.8 zoom, I buy a Nikon 17-55 (the 24-70 equivalent). I'm sure others can explain it much better than I'm doing, but hopefully you get the point. [/QUOTE]
