D700 and D300 DX versus FX lens Comparison

angevin1

Okay...probably the six worse photos you've ever seen...but Its late, I want to get to bed and I am...ummm...almost fatigued with reading about DX lenses on FX cam, especially the D700.

So Heres What we got:

D700 with a FX lens the 35-70mm f2.8 @35mm


D300 with same lens 35-70 f2.8 @35


D700 with tamaron 17-50mm f2.8 @17mm


D300 with tamaron 17-50 f 2.8 @17mm


D700 with Nikon DX kit lens 18-70 f3.5-4.5 @18mm


D300 with Nikon DX kit lens 18-70mm f3.5-4.5 @18mm




D700 ISO:Hi1, Auto WB and jpg fine
D300 ISO 2k, Auto WB and jpg norm

If this helps, great. if it hurts your eyes..sorry!

Hope this does somehow help you in deciding about DX on FX Cameras.

When you use DX mode on a D700, does it actually take the full-size image? I thought it crops it for you. Perhaps the cropped-in-camera result would be more valuable?

Oh, I did say it was late...I had taken this yesterday early Morning in the same room in my normal setting or Crop mode...Yes, more usable..More valuable, I guess so...You be the judge.

17-50mm f2.8 tamaron @17mm in Crop mode D700

Not at all bad! Not much for resolution but looks fine at this size. Not ideal, but I appreciate having the choice.
