[QUOTE="480sparky, post: 437096, member: 15805"] OK, once again: We're not discussing the different sensor sizes here. The OP only has ONE sensor size... DX. The fact the both of us have FX camera is totally meaningless. So let's keep the discussion on that size sensor. Or would you like to add medium format, large format and CX format into the mix just to muddy the waters further? And I will again reiterate: A 14mm lens ----whether it's designed for FX or DX----- WILL, I repeat WILL---- have a wider FOV on a DX sensor ([SIZE=1][B]what the OP has, and what we should be discussing... not OUR FX cameras![/B][/SIZE]) than an 18mm. Doesn't matter whether that 18mm is an FX lens or DX lens. It doesn't matter whether the 14mm is FX or DX. [B]A 14mm will have a wider FOV than the 18mm on a DX body.[/B] It will. Simple as that. What you don't seem to comprehend is that ANY focal length lens, whether FX or DX, -----will---- produce the same image on a DX sensor. It matter not whether the lens is 50mm FX or 50mm DX, or 14mm FX or 14mm DX, or 20.9485773mm DX or 20.9485773mm FX. Now I gotta ask... what the heck is a 'true' 50mm? [/QUOTE]
