From DX to DX, dealing with DOF......help.


Hi folks,

I have always been a crop sensor photographer and finally made the jump to FX.

Originally using the 17-55mm 2.8 and 35mm 1.8 on DX.

Now switched to a 24-70mm and a 50mm on FX.

Under low light i am struggling to work out the best approach, for example on DX i could use f2.8 and even f1.8 up close with natural light and get a somewhat acceptable DOF on faces, kids etc. Now under FX with the newer lenses i can\'t, so i need to know how best to approach this.

Do i just stop down and raise the ISO, this seems the logical way but obviously raising ISO feels like a hit on image quality and somewhat counterproductive.

I only seem to be finding this an issue at wide apertures, for all of my other needs the images are great and FX is doing what i wanted.

Thanks in advance
Mike
