[QUOTE="HaydenB, post: 198086, member: 16711"] I am old school. Nikon was always the leader in providing the best camera equipment for forensic use. In the 35mm film days the 28mm was the accepted wide angle lens and the 50 was the "normal" lens for shooting crime scenes with little or no distortion. I would not have expected Nikon not to supply the technically correct appropriate lens for the same work. Rather than "just make it work" we were a little more precise than that. A 35mm DX lens will "work" but it is not technically correct, nor is a 28mm FX wide angle lens on a DX camera. Perhaps Nikon believes the D300 is a not a Semi-Pro camera and requires a FX to be a "Pro". But even the FX diagonal is 43.18 and they consider the 50mm lens the normal lens for full frame. Sorry to ramble, just talking out loud. [/QUOTE]
