Is information technology amend to use FX lens on DX camera ?
Hi,
I have this quandrary of whether it is better to use an FX lens on DX (I have a D7000), perchance it is due to the fact that I have always found my 70-300 Fx to be better in sharpness, bokeh etc than the 16-85 DX lens (which also has been rated reasonably well)
So is there some logic to this or is information technology but my observation or are some FX lenses suitable for DX but some are not and it is wise to know which are non so that one does'nt end up buying it and then regretting it.
Too finally this unabridged talk almost DX systems death which will cease up burdening one with DX lenses ? (I have only added this extra annotate, though my principal argument is specified in the 1st paragraph)

I remember it'south fair to assume that the DX format will be effectually for some time. Well-nigh people just getting into DSLRs won't exist willing to spend the big money that FX systems demand.
That said, one should sympathize that DX lenses are by and large targeted at the "less than pro" crowd. That's not to say that they're poor quality, only that you lot can't expect the totally-best-wow-gotta-accept-it lens in a DX format. And y'all're not likely to e'er run across a seventy-200 f/2.8 or a 400 f/iv for DX...eyes make that a fool's errand.
Looking at FX, at that place are a number of pretty expert lenses made for FX, that perform really well on DX. The Nikkor 28-105 f/3.5-iv.v and the 18-35 f/3.5-4.5 AF-D lenses come to heed. They were "pretty good," or, one might say, "quality consumer" lenses on 35mm film format, just are real bargains for DX, equally you lot're using the centre of the lens, and any corner compromises in sharpness don't evidence up also much. Of class, the FOV of the DX fomat makes them work more like a 42-155 (a useful range) and a 27-52 (not quite as useful, IMO).
If you're really concerned near investing too much in the DX format, I think your real concern might be in the EVIL cameras and lenses coming downwardly the pike.

DX cameras merely use the centre of the lens, which is usually the best part of whatsoever lens. Vignetting, corner & edge softness are not nearly the problem on DX as they are on FX. AFAIK, Pro DX lenses are just as adept as the Pro FX lenses, with the possible exception of the latest incarnations. Technology marches on and the newer lenses are commonly meliorate, because of better coatings and other technological advances.
In full general, I don't worry about buying DX or FX lenses, but I don't usually buy the cheapest lenses available. I purchase the best lenses that I tin can afford. I have both formats and intend to go along using both formats. I buy the lenses that will practice the chore that I need washed and don't care about the DX/FX fence, especially the DX is dead nonsense. DX cameras are already counted in the millions and I suspect that Nikon volition produce DX format until DSLR'southward are replaced by some new technology. In that location will be a market for used DX lenses, especially the height performers, for many, many years, IMO.

Re: Is it better to use FX lens on DX camera ?
Take it on a case-past-case basis. What lenses are yous specifically targeting? One big factor in favor of a dx lens is the range. 17-twenty makes more than sense for about dx shooters than a 24-20 blazon zoom, for example. So, what lenses are you looking at?

Re: Is information technology better to use FX lens on DX camera ?
Thanks for the responses, I am basically looking to supersede the 16-85 mm, hence looking at 1 or two fast primes, 28 1.8 mm & l one.viii mm FX, then that would give equivalent to 42 (close to 50 ) and 75 mm and a WA that would meet my electric current 16 mm (i.e. 24 mm FX), hence the Tokina 16-28 then that I don't miss out on the wider end.
I don't as of now intend to go wider than 16 mm (24 mm equivalent). I can quit the 28 mm for at present, since the Tokina stretches to 28 mm.
So 2 lenses that would nigh run across the range of my current 16-85 and would exist faster and hopefully ameliorate in nigh respects.

That does clear things up a bit. Are you planning on going fx one day? Personally, I do not like 50mm on dx. I have a Nikon 50 one.8 and rarely use it. I would think that getting a 35mm and an 85mm prime number pair would be nice, giving you a little telephoto in your kit. There are a lot of variations to this blazon of set up--substituting a 40mm (dx) or 90mm (fx) macro for one of these lenses, for example. I take no experience with the 16-28--sounds like a nice range. Many love the fifty and then good luck!

Don't requite up on the sixteen-85. Just use it on sunny days. You tin can use it every bit a stand in for whatever primes from 24, 35, 40, fifty, 85,etc to come across what FL you would use indoors or for other purposes. Can't decide for you if a 35-85 combo would be better than anything else.

It depends, but generally the respond is yes. Nix to replace the 12-24 DX though..., with this the opposite applies... information technology is better (later on 20mm) than the FX lenses ...on FX!

If you are shooting dx, the but dx lens y'all should buy is to cover your wide bending needs. I don't call back dx lenses volition agree their value as well in the long term... and if you ever decide to go total frame, even every bit a 2d body to your dx kit, y'all will only demand to deal with covering the broad cease.

Tony Northrop on his youtube channel on photography has a video "twenty things about photographers get wrong" at https://www.youtube.com/scout?five=IsWGkUT5A_Y. One of the things he mentions is using FX lenses on DX bodies. I'm not completely convinced past his argument only it is worth checking out. I have a couple of FX lenses I use with my D7100 but Tony claims that this causes a loss of resolution compared to using DX lenses on a DX trunk. I'm happy with my results though.

I do it all the time, and don't care what so-called cyberspace "experts" like Tony N have to say. As a affair of fact my only DX lens is the fabled Sigma 18-35/i.8 Fine art. All the rest are FX.

Mr. Caps Lock don't be confused. It volition work fine--although you lot may want to get the MBD15 battery grip to give it a niggling more rest and leverage. I utilize my VRII on my D7100 for more accomplish, and it works splendidly.

Why propose "going FX i day" when mixing DX and FX usually gives improve overall results in some situations.
Farther on in the thread on the xiv-24, when I need 24 mm on DX, at 24mm f2.eight the 14-24 performs much better than the 24-70 at 24mm f2.8 on FX or DX.

IIRC he has another video where it depends what FX lens you are talking about. In a 18-55 range, better to use the DX lens designed for the DX sensor. At longer FL, for birds, a 80-300 becomes a 120-450. The new 200-500 becomes another good example.
The crazy role is from 50mm up there aren't that many DX lens, only the 55-200 or 55-300. so yous buy the FX lens anyway to get the FL you need. Every bit long as you lot utilise the center sharp portion of the lens you become the sugariness spot.

Re: Is it better to utilise FX lens on DX camera ?
My question is this. I have a Nikon D7200 with an 18-200m DX lens. I take been getting more and more experience with event photography. Should I get a 70-200mm 2.8 FX lens and use it with my body? I am asking as at that place are no long zoom 2.viii lens for this torso. I take a 17-50 ii.8 DX lens but I need the lxx-200 lens. I don't have the money to buy an FX body right now and then is it worth to buy the 70-200mm 2.8 lens? Any guidance would be much appreciated. I have been told that using an FX lens like that on a DX body is a waste. Is that true?
