[QUOTE="AperturePriority, post: 52328, member: 9275"] I agree with Glenn on all of the text in bold. I want to add two advantages for landscape shooters with an FX camera: First of all, without the crop factor, landscape pictures taken by FX cameras get less distortion than the one taken by DX cameras at the same FOV. For example, to have the same FOV of an FX camera with a wide angle lens 24mm; a DX needs to have an 18mm wide angle lens mounted on it. That 18mm focal contributes more distortion to the photos. Secondly, with the crop factor 1.5 applied to DX camera sensor, the limitations of use for filters CP and ND become bigger: You should not use filters CP or ND with super-wide-angle lens that have focal shorter than 20mm. With an FX, 20mm is wide enough. With a DX, 20mm has a FOV equals to 30mm on FX camera only. [/QUOTE]
