[QUOTE="§am, post: 132815, member: 9187"] To be honest I think if you're never gonna move off DX, the whole crop factor doesn't really play into much overall. Yes if you had a DX & FX next to each other and used the same lens you'd notice the difference, but having one or the other, are you really going to know? OK, so you 'need' 85mm for the perfect portrait lens, but isn't that all based on the old film days. In terms of DX, you could easily just say, you need a 50mm lens to be the perfect portrait lens (equivalent to 75mm which is close enough) and then there's less confusion all round :) [/QUOTE]
