Excellent video: informative and helpful. The photos are very atmospheric. I never thought it was possible to use DX lenses on a FF camera. I’ll have a go at it with my D810. Thank you.
Greg!! Well, each is a great system. Think of it this way. You are capturing the same amount of information in a smaller space (DX or crop mode). I do not shoot my full frame bodies in crop mode as I would rather be above to recompose and crop in the computer. With high megapixel crop sensor bodies like the Canon 90D and R7, I keep my ISO low. There is so much information in that small space sensor the I do not like the images. With my Canon R5 and Z9, I really can let it go a bit and still get images I like. There is no perfect set up. Everything has strengths and drawbacks. Enjoy the camera in you hands. The big advantage to shooting a full frame lens on a crop sensor body is the increased reach. But again, nothing is perfect. 🙏🤗❤ PS - one other thing. My favorite landscape and portrait camera is my old D800 that was released in 2012. I like the Z9 or Canon R7 for wildlife and the simple little entry level Canon M50 for macro. Just trying to use the strengths in each system.
Hi John. Just came across your channel researching the d800. I think you may be off with your "40mm dx lens on a full frame becomes 26mm." Grab a screenshot at 5:50 then at 5:53 and compare. The focal length of the lens is 40mm, no matter what body it's on. The difference is just the size of the rectangle its designed to be projected onto. Get a 35mm f1.8 dx lens and a 35mm f1'8 full frame version. On a d800 they'll produce the same size image (dx is not divided by 1.5) except the dx version will vignette on the full frame camera. On crop bodies they'll be identical. Hope this makes sense. Please keep making videos with your positive attitude. You have a new subscriber.
Hi Steve. The actual sensor size (not the megapixel) is the same either crop of full frame. What changes is the distance of the lens from the sensor and that is where the difference comes in. If I take a 500mm prime designed for a full frame sensor, it shoots at "500mm". If you put that same full frame lens on a crop sensor body, multiply by the crop (Nikon 1.5 X 500 = 750mm) The same is true in reverse with a crop sensor lens on a full frame body (distance from the sensor) and divide by the crop. That is where you see the vignette. Most mirrorless cameras now compensate for that so you never see it. If you put a full frame into crop mode (DX for Nikon), it does not change the distance and is not a true DX shot - it simply uses less of the sensor to simulate the difference in the distance and not have the vignette. Unless EVERYONE has had it wrong when shooting a crop sensor camera with a full frame lens for birding - for Nikon it is the workhorse D500..... 😁 Thank you Steve! 🙏 There are MANY videos on this if you dig a little deeper.
@@JonnyPink65 Hi John. I welcome this debate.🙂. Sensor size is the key difference between full frame and crop. Full frame is 36mm x 24mm. Crop sensor on Nikon is 24mm x 16mm. All Nikon F mount cameras, full frame and crop have a flange to sensor distance of 46.5mm. Look inside both types of camera side by side. This distance has to be the same for focus to be achieved. The only difference is that the little rectangle (sensor) is smaller. The edges have been "cropped." This gives a narrower field of view. Sorry for the long reply, but this example may clarify. Imagine you're sitting in a room with a window on the opposite wall. How far from the window you sit is your focal length. Close= wide angle, far= telephoto. Now staying at the same distance, ask someone to draw the curtains slightly. This is what a crop sensor shows. Nothing has been magnified. Your rectangle (field of view) is decreased.
@@stevedobbs9427 Steve, I get it with the distance from the sensor (the little rectangle), the what you are suggesting, what the industry as a whole has said for years, and what I was taught is all wrong. You are saying that if I am shooting my FX 500mm F4 on a Nikon D500, an APS-C camera with a 20mp sensor that is 23.5 x 15.7 mm, then I am still shooting at "500mm", not 750mm? Or the same on a Sony that is set to compensate for the smaller sensor? The sports and wildlife community has had it all wrong for years then! Hmmmm, might have to look into that. 😁
@@JonnyPink65 Hi John. Thanks for replying. What I'm saying is the lens behaves the same no matter what camera it's attached to. That part is physics. When a Nikon 200-500 is put on a D500 it projects the same size image as when it's on a D800. The difference is on the D500 all the outer edges are "wasted" on the area outside of the sensor. It is only recording the light falling on the smaller area, so it appears magnified by 1.5 times. Check Steve Perry's videos. He probably explains it more clearly. The wildlife photography is correct, I just think your interpretation is amiss. Have you flipped the mirrors up on the two respective cameras and compared? Please do before replying. I look forward to your next comment.
@@stevedobbs9427 Steve, I looked up the sensor size and you are correct - the crop sensor is smaller. I will find that video and will borrow a friends D500 and do a video on that myself. If I am wrong, awesome, but that would mean that rest of the industry is wrong as well. And I do like Steve Perry's videos. I only have one DX lens for macro (a 40mm), so I cant really do that test with a full frame since I dont have a full frame 40mm lens to compare to. It will be interesting. 😁
Hi Michael Kokosenski! Thank you - I am happy it was suggested to me. I have shot many beach sunset shots that way and used the natural vignette to get that look - I LOVE it. You can do it in post, but if you like the lens, and I do, and it is with you, and mine always is,...... use it and have fun!! Thank you Michael. 💗📷
Thank you Iorndealer! That was fun to shoot - and of course shooting in Joshua Tree and anywhere really, is always enjoyable. It is a great effect. Gonna have to try it as a black and white! 😁
Hi I'm sorry but it doesn't sit right with me. If I use a Nikon 35 f1.8 DX on a crop sensor body the focal length is 35×1.5 = 52.5mm Now according to what you said in the video, does that means if I use thesame 35mm on a full frame body, the length equals 35/1.5 = 23.33mm So does that means using the 35mm DX on a full frame, I automatically have a approximately 24mm lens? I think the 35mm is a 35mm lens, if used on a DX body it's approximately 52.5mm but when used on a full frame body it's still a 35mm lens but with just the vignette issue. I would love to know your take of you think I'm getting anything wrong, would love to learn and unlearn Regards
@@olusolaolutosin2011 Yes, you are correct. And at any rate when talking about the 1.5x DX crop we aren't really talking about the focal length, it's just the field of view that is cropped.
Sorry but this is so so wrong. You are confusing focal length with field of view. A 40mm focal length on a full frame body has the field of view of 40mm A 40mm focal length on a DX body is still a 40mm focal length but now has the field of view of 60mm. Same for M43. Put this 40mm via an adapter on a M43 body it's still a 40mm focal length but now has a field of view of 80mm. A 40 is a 40 is a 40 no matter what sensor size body you put it on.
Beautiful photography John, such a great area! I, too like the visual effect of crop lens on your full frame. Kinda like an antique picture (but with up to date quality).
Hi Bill! I never thought of it that way - an antique quality.... I bet it would look cool in black and white with some grain...... Gonna have to try that too! 😁
Great video John. Beautiful pics. Was interesting to watch the DX on the D800. I’ve never done that, but you got some great results. Thanks for sharing the video mate 👍🙏
Thank you Adrian! It is a wonderful effect .... for landscapes, sunrise, sunsets.....! Bill S says in the comments that it has an old time look to it. So, one of use has got to do a shoot all black and white with that vignette effect from the lens, not in post with Lightroom or Photoshop. I think you would do it more justice than I. 😁 you are "The Lens Master!
Hi Dr JahanZeb! Well, yes and no. With any sensor, if you crop in you are losing MPs. If you use the photo with the vignette and no cropping, you get the full frame. When you crop in, or put the camera in crop mode, it only takes the center part, or a smaller part of the sensor so yes. I left in in full and just cropped in. I crop in all the time and have not had a problem with it. And yes, I still have my D750 and planning on pulling it out to go birding again soon!! Thank you Dr JahanZeb! 🤗🙏💖
Man, awesome video! I have a couple of questions about it. What happens to the photo's final resolution if the FX sensor crops in for the DX lens? Is there much of a loss in sharpness/details there? And my other question is: by cropping in because of the DX mode, do you sacrifice the FX sensor abilitiy to capture more light than the DX ones? Hope I managed to explain myself
Rodrigo!!! Thank you. 🙏 First, I did not notice any loss of sharpness either way - great glass can produce some amazing photos regardless of the sensor. It is the eye of the photographer or artist behind the camera that makes an interesting photo. Everyone has a different style and different eye so I am not a fan of those that say it should be done this way or that. Man, I have seen some AMAZING photos from people using OLD glass on new bodies or with candy wrapper so add something to the edges - it is all artwork so present it as YOU want it to be seen. I do like the vignette that you get with a crop sensor lens on a full frame - I think it looks cool. And as far as one sensor being more sensitive to light over the other, I do not believe that either. Controlling your light with your depth of field, ISO and shutter speed will play into it more in my opinion. I have noticed that the newer cameras really are a LITTLE less noisy at higher ISOs whereas my old D800 after about 800 is unusable for me most of the time. My understanding, and again I may be wrong, is that putting a full frame camera into crop mode uses less of the sensor to remove the vignette - but again, that is something I think looks cool. I hope I was able to answer your question!!! 😁
I’m confused again. Is 16mm dx lens on dx body is equivalent to 24mm fx lens on fx body? So if i use 16mm dx lens on fx body what will be the focal length of image in crop mode & without crop mode?
A crop sensor lens, for Nikon it is DX, is as it is listed on the lens - 166 DX lens on a crop sensor body is 16mm. If you put a full frame lens on a crop sensor body, multiply the focal length by the crop - Nikon is 1.5, Canon is 1.6. If you put a crop sensor lens on a full frame, it is the opposite but you only get to use the center of the sensor unless you want the vignette around your image as an effect. When a full frame camera is put into crop sensor, all you are really doing is using a smaller part of the center of the sensor. I hope this clears it up a bit!! 🙏🤗❤
Hi Sotto Sopra! Well, those lenses if they are for the Nikon F mount will work great on your D750. You can put it into DX mode in the menu if they are DX lenses or just leave it in FX mode - up to you! In DX mode, they will be the 35 and 50 mm, but if you keep in in full frame, divide the focal length by 1.5 for Nikon. I use my 40mm DX lens all the time - I LOVE it. Keep using the lenses you have and enjoy them. They are both great focal lengths! 😁
@@JonnyPink65 Thanks for your message John. I m agree with you. I like to use the af 35mm 2 d but I red online a lot of comments that is waste of money to use it on Fx machine cause it lose quality. (mp)
Hi Jennifer! Yes you can. You can use ANY F mount lens on any F mount lens body. The only difference between a Nikon full frame lens and a DX lens is the distance to the sensor. Using a DX lens on a full frame creates a wonderful vignette due to that distance and you can go into the menu and put the camera into DX mode, of just crop in post when developing your photos. A full frame lens on a DX body - multiply the focal length by the crop ( a 50mm will be 75mm) and if using a DX lens on a full frame, divide by the crop - OR - put in DX mode or crop in. Works perfectly - th-cam.com/video/O02sF9XdzME/w-d-xo.html 😁
@@JonnyPink65 if I put the camera in dx mode will the focal lenght remain the same? For example if I want to shoot @10mm will it really be 10mm, not more than 10? The reason I am asking this is that I was also looking to buy that lens, but I have a nikon d750 and I would mainly use it for real estate, so that strong vignette is not desirable. I like your video btw 😄
@@beata18265 I understand. I do not shoot a full frame in DX mode. All you are really doing is using a smaller portion of the sensor - not worth it in my opinion. I think you can adjust most of the wide angle out of a photo in Lightroom or Photoshop. I use Lightroom myself but also Photoshop on rare occasions. A wide 10mm FF on a full frame sensor will be 10mm. To shoot in DX or crop mode will seem like it is closer, but it is not. I hope this helps a little. 🙏🤗💖
Hi Tusharsubhra Samaddar ! Yes, you absolutely CAN use a crop sensor lens on a full frame body and a full frame lens on a crop sensor. For Nikon that I am familiar with, using a full frame body with a crop sensor lens as you are talking about, divide that focal length - your lens will be a 12-36.6 unless you put the camera into DX mode in the menu. It does not hurt the camera and if you are using native glass or a third party lens made for the camera (I like some Tamron lenses for my Nikon), the lenses will be fine - no harm at all..... and it allows for some cool effects or versatility with focal lengths and lenses. All auto feature work perfectly! I hope this helps!. 😁
