[QUOTE="singlerosa_RIP, post: 578470, member: 15556"] I don't think the lenses have a crop factor, it's the body. A 50mm DX lens will work the same as a 50mm FX lens on your D5500 (for the most part). In the full frame world, the 24-70 is the standard mid-zoom. When you put in on DX, it becomes 36-105, losing 12mm on the wide end and gaining on the long end. That's why many folks use DX for birding or sports. It gives you extra reach on a lens. To get the approximate same field of view as the 24-70 on DX, Nikon makes the 17-55 2.8. So, Nikon's wide FX lenses will not be as wide on DX, but long FX lenses will be 1.5X as long on DX. Clear as mud, eh? [/QUOTE]
