Thinking about going full frame, but are confused the difference this 'crop factor' is compared to full frame? Seeing one image of this or that doesn't really resonate? You want / need side-by-side comparisons?
Do you have an aversion to pink? If not....... carry on. Winston is more than happy to help out if he's in front of the camera.
This is a v-e-r-y non-scientific lab results test. It was done on a Sunday afternoon, I had nowhere to go, and no chance of driving.......... getting the picture?
I originally did a two shot of DX versus FX using a 50mm f/1.8 lens (hey.... I shoot Nikon and they're acronyms we know). DX is the cropped body (D300 here) and FX is the full frame body (D700 in this case). My thinking is that most people have or can obtain a 50mm focal length. A discussiion elsewhere brought up the 35mm vs 50mm debate as well. This made sense and I did a reshoot..... on a Sunday afternoon, I had nowhere to go, and no chance of driving.......... getting the picture?
The setup is:
Lenses: Nikkor 35mm f/2 and Nikkor 50mm f/1.8
Camera to subject = 28" (except as noted)
Subject to background = 60"
F/5.6
1/250s
ISO200
EV = -.0.7
Shot at ~15:30, conditions were bright sun to sun behind thick clouds, black cover used on diffuser to block sun
Flash at 45° camera left in 24" soft box at 45° above, flash at 135° camera right with 8" snoot feathered to hit the very back of his head ~24" above.
I also used a CPL but may not have turned it exactly the same between lens changes.
....................................DX 35mm.....................................................................FX F5mm...........................
....................................DX 50mm.....................................................................FX 50mm...........................
Here's what you paid admission for..............
....................................DX 35mm.....................................................................FX 50mm...........................
....................................DX 35mm..................................FX 35mm (recomposed for 16" camera to subject).....
Now I'm getting confused.................. See if this helps. I shot some other stuff with thesae combos. The dots are starting to get difficult to connect.
