[QUOTE="gustafson, post: 554961, member: 40735"] My current kit consists of two DX cameras (D3300 & D7100) and an assortment of DX and older (mostly vintage manual and some non AF-S) FX lenses listed in my signature. I started thinking about acquiring an FX body on realizing that I was not getting the best out of the wider end of my FX lenses due to the DX crop factor (see my previous post: [URL]http://nikonites.com/general-digital-slr-cameras/35622-need-advice-purchasing-full-frame-dslr-body-2.html#post541236[/URL]). Based on advice from fellow Nikonites, I've been keeping an eye out for used D6x0's, and may have found an affordable used one. However, before making the leap, I thought it a good idea to seek guidance on a few questions that are nagging me: [LIST] [*]Is it crazy to own a DX and FX camera at the same time? Hoping to hear pros / cons from others that do (or have at some point). My rationale is that I'd use the D7100 primarily with my vintage telephoto / long-portrait FX lenses (mated, if needed, with my modified TC-16a for pseudo-AF), and the D6x0 with the wideangle and normal / short-portrait lenses. [*]Follow-up to the above, how would vintage FX manual & (pre AF-S) AF lenses perform on a D6x0 as opposed to a D7100? (I understand that DX sensors can exploit the sweet spot of FX lenses. However, I'm wondering whether there are any benefits of FX vs. DX from a resolution standpoint with these older lenses) [*]Are there any other considerations that come to mind? Hoping to hear from those among you who rock (or have in the past) a DX-FX combo. [/LIST] Thanks! [/QUOTE]
