Pardon my "against the grain" theory, but I have
this feeling that a DX lens could be used very successfully on full frame,
providing you don't mind a bit of cropping. As DX lenses heavily vignette on Full Frame, the
photographer must then work around this.
Therefore a square or panoramic frame could work well. Even using a program to correct vignetting
that isn't totally lost, is useful.
On full frame, DX lenses operate like full frame lenses in
terms of depth of field as the sensor determines this. Just that they heavily vignette. My theory is that a great DX lens can shoot
outstanding photos on full frame, with just a bit of cropping.
I am thinking of purchasing either a Nikon 35mm f1.8 or a
Sigma 30mm f1.4 to try this out. Full
frame lenses in this focal range are expensive, but I am wondering, if you are
prepared to crop, will these lenses give you great performance as well. A theory to be tested soon.
