[QUOTE="Into The Lens, post: 66701, member: 10169"] Oh... I found this. This is the exact same lens I have, a [B]Nikon Nikkor 50mm f/1.4 AI. [/B](circa 1979) [URL="http://www.kenrockwell.com/nikon/nikortek.htm#ai"]Nikkor Lens Technology[/URL] I'm not sure if it will help to determine or not of the compatibility with the D7000. Also, would this 50mm Nikkor lens translate to an approx. 75mm lens once put on a DX camera, with the 1.5 ratio of the DX sensor? If so, are there adapters that mount between lenses and the camera that keep the focal lenght to 50mm equivalent of a full frame? From what I've been reading here ([URL="http://www.nikonusa.com/Learn-And-Explore/Nikon-Camera-Technology/g588ouey/1/The-DX-and-FX-Formats.html"]Camera Lens Explained | DX & FX Format Lenses from Nikon[/URL] - it's a little bit confusing and contradictory?), I understand that a DX lens will fit on a LX cameras (« On an FX-format camera with a DX lens mounted, the camera will automatically engage its built-in DX crop mode, thus recording an image only from the center section of the sensor. ») and LX lenses will also fit on DF camera but with a 1.5 ratio cropped image. In other words, what I'm trying to figure out is... will a picture taken on a DX camera equiped with a 50mm DX lens be cropped the same way as a picture taken on an FX camera equiped with a 50mm FX lens? Will both pictures be cropped the same? Sorry for making this more complicated than it probably is? lol ! :) [/QUOTE]
