[QUOTE="kevy73, post: 309402, member: 23493"] Personally, I wouldn't care whether it was FX or DX, I would be more concerned about how quickly and accurately my camera can focus on what I am pointing it at. All of my camera's other than my D4 are seriously slow at times as locking on to the subject. My D4's are just about instantaneous. That is more important to me. FX lens work fine on DX - you even have the added bonus of a 1.5 crop factor meaning your 400mm FX lens is in fact 600mm - Happy Days. But if your camera body can't focus on what is happening in time then all of that is completely irrelevant. Edit: When I say seriously slow - I am in no way shape or form knocking their capability - I love all my camera's. Everything is relative though, the focus speed of the D300 is snail pace compared to the D4. It really is a horses for courses type of equation - photographing fast, constantly changing, constantly moving objects, you need serious fast focusing and / or awesome focus tracking. [/QUOTE]
