I don't like my 35mm 1.4 becoming a 52mm.. that means quite a few steps back which isn't always possible in confine spots or certain run & gun situations. And i like working with primes, certainly wouldn't ditch my Nikkor glass for a Tokina zoom.. What I do like is punching in using the FX/DX modes, and this will be even more useful on FF 4K resolution.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Django Posted November 1, 2016 Share Posted November 1, 2016 dear god i forgot about that.. a crop..on a crop.. D500 is a total no-go for me.. i do really like the pro body though (unlike D750). i really hope the next Nikon FF body will do 4K without crop. again seems only Sony is doing it currently..

Yeah, Nikon is strange with their crops. The D5500 is DX in 24p and 60p, but the D7200 is DX in 24p but adds a crop to 60p? Huh?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
