[QUOTE="Blacktop, post: 632012, member: 22693"] There are a few reasons people use FX lenses on DX bodies, none of them are "stupid" as you describe. One would be because lenses tend to be sharper in the middle and get softer on the edges. Since the DX sensor covers the middle part of the FX lens ,this would benefit the DX shooter as far as that goes. Other reason would be, that some may want to upgrade to a FF camera in the future, so why buy lenses twice? The exception would be for wide angle or ultra wide angle lenses where an FX glass wouldn't be wide enough for some DX shooter. [/QUOTE]
