p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · DX Lens Equivalent To FX 28-300 AFS VR?


I really like my 28-300 lens on my D700. I no longer have a FX camera and am wondering what would be an equivalent lens in DX?

I'm using a D1h, D2h, and a recent purchase D300.

Thanks!

18-200mm, however that lens performs relatively poorly on modern, hi-resolution DX bodies - certainly not at the level of the 28-300mm on FX.

There does now exist an 18-300mm DX lens (works out to an equivalent 27-450mm on FX) which may well give better results - although I haven't used that lens myself so am not speaking from first-hand experience here.

The 18-200mm is a great lens, i use it currently on the D7100. It definately will work great on a D300, i used to use it on my D300 (back when i used it).

Have you looked at the TAmron 16-300MM F/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD Macro? It looks promising.......

The 18-200 is a pretty darn good lens, for what it is. There is also the new 18-300 but nobody will cop to shelling out the $800 they want for it... :-)

18-200 is more than capable of matching the performance of the 28-300 on FX with the OP's bodies.

Neither lens is really up to modern sensors.

I have a 28-300 but my D700 was nicked. Now I'm considering the D7100. Will the 28-300 perform well on a DX like the D7100?

You can use any FX lens on a DX body.

Will it perform well? Probably, you are just paying a lot to put on a DX body. But, why not?
