13/09/2012: Nikon announces D600 FF 24,3 mp

[LiverpoolMadman]

I doubt any of the 3 will wow you as much as the Sigma 50 f1.4. That is a stellar lens and I believe you will love it on any FF camera. Just bear in mind it lacks the versatility of a zoom and most likely you will need something wider if you are traveling or helping out in functions

Yes I agree ... I have Sigma 50 f1.4 ( Pentax mount ) ....

 

[LiverpoolMadman]

Yes. Still have

Are you looking forward to K-5 IIs ?

 

[LiverpoolMadman]

Sigma calls it DC and DG.

Tamron calls it Di and DiII.

It is all in the manufacturer's website.

Thanks ... I will check it out ...

Eg. 50Mm become 75mm?

no. 50mm be it fx dx or cx. still a 50mm focal length!

 

[miyata]

Actually lens spec don't change , it's still a 50mm lens .
Just that because you switch to dx mode it will give you
a 75mm Fov . But why would you want to do that ?
By switching to dx your resolution will also drop to 10 or 12mp on a D600.

Thanks for the reply, I know focal length won't change of cos, the FOV should be the correct word. I love to use prime lens, travel to Korea during winter with only 24f2.8, 35f2 & 50f1.4mm only on D700. As to use DX mode with prime lens if I need extra reach, 10MP is fine for me, I don't do big print.

DX mode is just an auto crop for you. You always can do that with post processing

Agree, I think this function is useful mainly for video. If u choose DX mode for taking stills, got to be careful when framing. Only what u see in the box in the VF will be captured and the rest cropped out automatically.

I am thinking of getting the D600...but am worried about the reach of FX format.
Have been wondering if I can use my 55-300mm lens on a DX format, to achieve that kind of reach i.e. 450mm

Does this mean it will be more effective if I just use maybe 70-200mm on FX format and crop my pictures in post processing?

Thanks.

Think you are better of sticking to DX bodies.

Can't bear the file size?

 

[rain5533]

Can't bear the file size?

Maybe is a main reason

 

[HighTone]

SD cards are so cheap nowadays. don't think so ba. probably the physical size rather?
