[QUOTE="nickt, post: 442815, member: 4923"] No. On a dx camera, you won't see any difference between a dx and fx lens. Here's a big long thread to read though on crop factor.

[URL]http://nikonites.com/education/24328-dx-fx-photo-explanation-crop-zoom.html#post335209[/URL] I believe what you experienced is what Wayne described in his last paragraph. I think it is called 'focus breathing' if you want to google for more info. As Wayne said, you need to be at infinity to get the full zoom. To say it another way, if your subject is nearby, you won't get what you expect for a 300mm zoom. Try your comparison at infinity focus and you will see more difference. [/QUOTE]
