Range

[mcdiejdh]

Hi there,

I Have a D50 and have the AF-S 55-200 mm DX lens. Nikon say that the digital cams effectively increase the 35 mm focal range by a factor of 1.5x so a normal 200mm would be approximately 300mm on the digital body. Does that go for the DX lenses ? Do they increase the focal range by 50% ish.

Suppose what I am saying is if i use this lens at 200mm is it really like 300mm on a conventional SLR body ?

thanks

yes, the 55-200 is effectively a (umm, gets calculator) 83-300. even the DX lenses are quoted as 35mm!

Hello

Please use this reference calculator (a scroll down) if you would like to know what the crop factor on your lens is going to produce on various crops
