[QUOTE="WayneF, post: 661143, member: 12496"] Welcome to the forum. The DX lens will of course not be optimum on the D810, but of course it can be used (but its smaller view crop will cost more than half of your pixels). The "equivalent field of view lens" on full frame would be 27-210 mm (giving the same view as 18-140 mm DX). Do you favor the wider end or the longer end? Would you be willing (with one lens) to give up the other end? No one can tell you what focal length, since that depends on your choice of what you shoot. Focal length determines the size of the field of view you see. The full frame 24-120 mm f/4 lens would be good for the wider end, and the 70-200 f/2.8 would be good for the longer end. I have both of those, and find the 24-120 mm to be best choice for a walk around all day with one lens... wide enough and long enough and sharp enough. The D810 has ample pixels to crop some shots a bit tighter (longer). But 70 mm is not the same as 24 mm, and 120 mm is not the same as 200 mm. [/QUOTE]
