[QUOTE="Clovishound, post: 815992, member: 50197"] There are a few folks who say that an FX lens on a DX body MAY not be as sharp as a comparable DX lens on the DX body. Most think that because the DX body only uses the central part of the image, which is the sharpest, it will perform even better. I've used several FX lenses on DX bodies, and found them to be sharper than the DX kit lenses that came with the camera. Maybe not apples to apples, because of them being lower tier lenses. Did the 28-300 perform well on the D750? That is an awfully long zoom ratio. My guess would be that if it was sharp on the 750, it will be sharp on the 500. I wouldn't recommend going the other direction, a DX lens on an FX camera. [/QUOTE]
