I love the 28mm fixed focus lens on my old Canon F-1 full frame slr. I'm planning to get a dx dslr with a kit 18/105mm zoom as I would like to go even wider than the 28mm. The APS equivalent on the 18/105 (on the wide end) is 27mm. If I shot two test photos of the same thing (cameras side by side) with the old 28mm and the 18/105 dx would the field of view be about the same as the 28mm, or actually appear to be wider (18mm) in the DX format? If you know, or could guide me to a comparison chart of some kind between FX and DX fov, it would sure help. I've asked similar questions before but forgot to inquire about actual field of view. I looked at my old posts and I think the answer is 27mm on the dx. If that's right, I can always upgrade later.
