I hope I don't make a new thread on something old. I tried to find it, but had no luck.
Anyone that has any experiences about putting a 14-24mm f/2.8 or 24-70mm f/2.8 lens on a cropped sensor like the D300 have? DX lenses on a fullframe camera was kinda bad, but how does it work the other way around?

Just to clarify, by this, he means the FOV of the lens is smaller by 66%, meaning the FOV of the lens is 1.5 times the FOV of the D300, so you get a full view from the D300. Didn't want the OP to get the wrong idea. Also, by using an FX lens on a DX body, corner softness and distortion aren't as big of a deal because the edges of the FOV from the lens are "cut off." |

I have the 14-24 and the older 28-70, both work fine on the DX sensor but I bought that glass knowing one day I would go full frame. I'm not so sure with the move to FF DX glass is a good idea if you ever plan to upgrade.

| Thank you for the good answers. I was dying to know! I'll go fullframe when my current camera tells me to f'off, which won't be anytime soon. But one might never know... You walk around a corner and someone gives you a D3. |
