[QUOTE="480sparky, post: 229591, member: 15805"] The only difference between an FX lens and a DX lens is the size of the image projected. DX lenses are designed to cover the smaller crop sensors. But the subjects they project are the same. Here's a 50mm DX lens on a full-frame camera: [IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/480sparky/Photography/DSC_0252.jpg[/IMG] Here's a 50mm FX lens: [IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/480sparky/Photography/DSC_0253.jpg[/IMG] Notice everything is the same size? That's because they're both taken with a 50mm lens. [IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/480sparky/Photography/DSC_0252A.jpg[/IMG] A DX-format lens only needs to project an image large enough to cover the smaller sensor. An FX-format lens needs a larger 'circle' to cover the full 24x36mm sensor. This is because a DX-format sensor is [I]physically smaller[/I] than an FX one. [IMG]http://i214.photobucket.com/albums/cc172/480sparky/Photography/FXsbsDXSensorsPost.jpg[/IMG] What will change, if you put that 70-300 on an FX body, is your[I] field of view[/I]. [B]Not[/B] the focal length. The FOV will be wider. [/QUOTE]
