guys...for a DX lens, the focal length doesn't multiply right? like 55-200mm DX VR is 55-200mm for a DX sensor??I'm a lil' confused abt it...
sry to ask again...

55-200 DX sensor = 88( 55*1.6) to 320 (200*1.6) 35mm format whre 1.6 is nokin crop factor

this is the second time i heard of crop factor and multiply
actually what are them?

Nikon DX is 1.5, 1.6 is Canon.

The effective focal length of a lens depends on the crop factor of the camera sensor.
For example Sigma 12-24mm EX lens:
- when use on full frame DSLR, you'll have the same focal length of 12mm - 24mm.
- when use on Nikon's camera, you'll have to multiply with the crop factor of 1.5, you'll have 18mm - 36mm focal length
- when use on Canon's camera, you'll have to multiply with 1.6, you'll have 19.2mm - 38.4mm.

The table below that shows the equivalent lens sizes for different crop factors. The column on the left is the lens focal length on a full frame camera.


Full frame - Canon 5D/1D MkIII, Nikon D3
1.3x - Canon EOS 1D/1D MkIIN
1.5x - Nikon D40/D50/D70/D70s/D80/D200/D300/D2XD2Hs, Minolta 7D/Fuji S3 Pro, Pentax *istDS/K100D/K110D/K10D
1.6x - Canon EOS 300D/400D/20D/30D/40D
2.0x - Olympus E-400/E-500/E-300/E-1

no...
it's not the focal length that is multiplied....
but...
the field of view is equivalent to the multiplied focal length...
this means...if using a 70-200mm on a full frame would get u more picture than using it with dx sensor...

thanks alot.i think i get wat you mean,i will read more myself to get in more details.
thanks again

Go search for userbar, or you can create on your own.

Go to a shop and try out a Canon 5D, then switch back to a D40... and then you will understand.

And after that, you'll be dreaming of Canon 5D every night!
