Easy D3 ?

[hardwork]

if you put a DX 300MM lens on a D3 do you have 300mm or 450mm does it have 1.5 or not

No, the DX sensor offers the cropped (apparent magnification) 1.5X perspective. A 300mm on a DX would appear to be 450mm. A 300mm lens on an FX sensor is a 300mm lens.

 

[this is me]

well, you will have 450mm but with 5mp.
the D3 will auto-crop if you put a DX lens on it unless you tell it to otherwise.

I've never heard of one.

Isn't a D3 one of those old, outdated Nikons???? :biggrin::biggrin::wink:

Funny you would write that Gary, at least if it's not tongue in cheek. You just wrote today about how the D3 AF outperformed the D300 AF, and I expect that will be on of the primary differences between the D3 and D700.
