[QUOTE="Mycenius, post: 168443, member: 14714"] ED doesn't relate to the format Rorie (it means Extra-Low Dispersion glass). All lens are FX (Full Format/35mm Equivalent) [I][B]unless[/B][/I] tagged as DX (Digital Format). When a FX lens (i.e. a non-DX lens) is used on a DX body (like the D90) you get a x1.5 effect (with Nikons, on Canon's I think it's x1.6 IIRC). There is a full glossary here: [URL]https://support.nikonusa.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/9919/~/glossary-of-nikkor-lens-terms[/URL] Oh yes, certainly - just put it out there 'tongue-in-cheek' just in case you were standing back... :) No I'm not saying that :) I'm just saying if you have a 70-300 on a DX body and are shooting constantly out at 300mm (i.e. 450mm equivalent) I would have thought you'd be better served (ignoring financial considerations) to try and get a lens that has more zoom/magnification, than using TC's...? Yes you could get the equivalent of 900mm if the 70-300 is compatible - but there are side effects to using TC's from what I've read - and are you sure the extra 'reach' will solve the issue? :) Right. You must be shooting a long distance for some of your subjects? :) [/QUOTE]
