But all my telephoto lenses were FX. And I am still using most of those telephoto lenses since moving to a D750 and a Z5.So 10 years ago I would typically use a Tamron 18-270mm all-in-one zoom (DX) plus an older Nikon 70-300mm (FX). The 70-300mm was always a disappointment with DX and FX cameras. I bought a Sigma 150-600mm C which pretty much banished the 70-300mm to a shelf to collect dust. That was eventually traded for a used 70-200mm f/2.8 and it was a perfect upgrade for me. So there is no hard rule on how FX lenses perform with a DX body. But an excellent FX lens will nearly always be as good on a DX camera. But it is working harder with the center part.</blockquote>
