[QUOTE="BF Hammer, post: 768761, member: 48483"] Yeah, I had a situation similar a couple of years ago as I bought my D750. It was my first full-frame camera. I was OK on the telephoto end as I had bought FX lenses. It was my normal and wide ranges where I was invested in DX lenses. I bought a D750 with the kit 24-120 f/4 lens which gave me the wide-normal coverage out of the box. I still held on to some DX lenses but traded in others. I still have 1 D7000 body (DX format) which uses them and it does get used some. I did experiment with the DX lenses installed to the D750. It has the DX mode, but all that does is do an automatic crop to the middle of the frame. The end result was a lower-resolution image that was not as good as simply using my older D7000. I quickly gave up trying that and realized I needed to invest in the FX glass going forward. I got a 20mm and a 50mm primes to compliment the kit lens. It was not an unexpected thing for me. I realized all-along I had this issue and it caused me to put off buying a FX body for some time, even though I really wanted to move that direction. [/QUOTE]
