Hello Forum,
I am trying to build up a good collection of prime lenses for DSLR videography (which I already have been doing for over a year, so do not give me trouble for using a DSLR to film with). I already own two DX lenses (a 70-140mm and a 70-300mm) for my D7100 (DX Format) that I use, but I would like to start a dedicated prime lens collection.
My question is, when considering the crop factor involved with using an FX Lens on a DX body, which focal length should I choose if I want an FX prime lens to have an equivalent focal length to that of a 50mm DX lens?
To clarify, I may want to purchase an FX lens with a greater focal length so that it compensates for the DX body's crop factor, thus producing the same image using the two different focal lengths.
Thanks,
Wmcgr
