[QUOTE="hark, post: 295893, member: 13196"] I believe I understand where the misunderstanding comes from...let's say we are in a small room and want to take a group photo of 12 people. When using an FX camera with a 24mm lens, I am all the way back against the wall. I can't move back any further. I take the shot. Now when I switch to a DX camera with a 16mm lens, I am not able to move back further to accommodate for the 1.5 crop sensor difference. THIS is where I believe the misunderstanding takes place. There will be distortion around the edges. If the photographer isn't able to move back to account for the 1.5 crop and has to take both photos from the same place, there will be a difference in perspective which amounts to more distortion on a DX camera. However, if the photographer has the ability to move back and take the photo from further away, then it isn't so much of a problem. It all boils down to where the photographer is standing in relation to the subject. I *think* that's what Glenn was trying to say earlier when he gave the example of being in a small crowded room.
