Just curious. I know everybody’s different.

    Saying that a DX focal length is the equivalent of an FX focal length.

    It’s not, the cropping is but the depth of field and compression you get which is much more important isn’t.

    People who say that editing makes a picture less real.

    Why can’t I carry 3 cameras with me at events?? I really want a tele, my 85 and a wide angle zoom

      I heard the crop and focal length so much when I started out. I recently figured it out for myself, and thought, the equivalent focal length stuff is a load of crap

      And regarding crop vs FF, the incessant need to keep comparing and finding the “equivalent” (usually FF equivalent). It’s really not necessary unless you are using both sensor sizes regularly, moving from one system to another, or deciding which system to buy into. But if you are already with one sensor size, equivalents become pretty meaningless. You quickly learn what working distance you need, how to get the background separation you want, etc.

        I started out with my standard zoom but using it only at 50 mm, then I got a prime lens, from then I moved on! Now i have one Dx and one FX camera (can’t get another fx so I’ll just get a good dx wide angle lens)
