No plans for the grip... In the USA Enloop are hard to find..... Lithium AA/AAA are in many brands.

Never used them so I can't say how good or bad they are.

 

Thanks.... didn't know Duracell made these... I guess the D700 helps being a more current body.

In Topic: Portrait lens suggestion?

16 January 2019 - 02:49 PM

I thought I'd post an update on this topic. I ended up purchasing a Nikkor 50mm 1.8 which is an FX lens and it gives roughly the same view as my Sigma (slight difference). So, to answer my own question, it doesn't seem to matter if it's a DX or FX lens, the focal length remains the same.

Correct, on a DX camera, you can use both, lenses made for the smaller sensor, or a lens made for a full frame sensor.

 

A 50mm FF lens on a FF camera has normal lens Field of View. (FoV).

A 50mm FF lens on a APS-C camera has a Field of View of a short portrait lens. The sensor "CROPS"  the larger image circle of the FF 50mm lens.

A 50mm lens made for an APS-C sensor will have a smaller image circle than the 50mm FF lens has and therefore have a slight telephoto effect. (75mm)

You would need a 35mm APS-C lens on an APS-C camera to have the same FoV of a 50mm FF lens on a FF camera.

 

The smaller the sensor, the shorter the focal length needs to be to achieve the same FoV of larger sensor cameras.
