Hi all,
Can I use 24-70mm f/2.8G on my D7000?
or is it better to use 17-55mm f/2.8 ??
Hi all,

I am asking because amazon is offering usd300 off the 24-70 f/2.8.
Kit lens is 18-105mm... then it will be contradicting to get the 24-70mm since it is equiv to 36-108mm??
I like the 24-70mm or even the 17-55mm f/2.8 becos of their fixed aperture, built quality and ultimately ... the image quality.
kit lens is not really tempting at all.
any advise?
D7000 has high MP and so is demanding on the lens. I wouldn't suggest 3rd party lens. 17-55 is more practical for DX but if you do have a timeline to move to FX or to have FX to co-exist with your DX, then get 24-70 and 14-24. If not, just get 17-55.

Yes... u can use the 24-70 on your D7000... but the field of view is quivalent to 36-105mm.
The 17-55 is equivalent to 26-82mm.
It really depends on the focal length that you like to shoot...
There is no 1.5x focal length for the 17-55mm since it's a DX lens right?

focal length remains the same, field of view doesnt.
DX has a crop factor of 1.5x compared to FX, which means, the field of view u get on DX at 17mm is the same as the field of view u get on FX at 25.5mm.
DX lenses are made with a reduced image circle at the rear element for use on smaller DX sensors, while FX lenses are made with a bigger image circle for use on larger FX sensors.
so if u use DX lenses on FX bodies in FX mode, u will get heavy vignetting at sides as the image circle of the DX lenses is optimally designed for use on DX sized sensors (except 35mm f/1.8G DX)
while if u use FX lenses on DX sensors, u will get to enjoy the "sweet spot" advantage, taking only the middle of the image circle of the FX lenses. Vignetting is very low compared to using DX lenses on DX sensors. u will get better border quality as well.
But if you're using a D7000 with 17-55mm. Doesn't it remain at 17-55?

Is it becos u r using a DX lens on DX body?
If I use a FX lens on DX body ... 14-24mm --> 21-36mm right?
but a FX lens on a DX body ... i will enjoy a better crop image right?
