Hi, I'm gng to rent tis soon n any1 k tell me wat to look out 4 when testing it ? E.g. should I zoom all out n test sharpness, etc ? Wat abt other aspect ?
And just to be sure, an FX lens used on a DX body will have the multiplier effect (1.5x) but a 300mm DX lens on a DX body will still be 300mm right? Thanks!

Thanks. And if the image is going to be a cropped one on a DX body, whether you use an FX or DX lens, then why bother to create DX lens coz the effect is the same in the pix, ie 1.5x the focal length? Unless a DX lens on a DX body will nullify the multiplier and make a 300mm still 300mm, no?! Confused.
That is why I wonder why even bother asking what the image quality is going to be like when ultimately it's going to lose out to even cheaper combos like 18-55VR/55-200VR?? (GASP, lose out to a KIT LENS??? Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!)
If you just want convenience... just get it anyway, asking for image quality is, well to put it bluntly...simply redundant. :bsmilie:

Even fx 24-85 vr just cost under $700 now, add in a 18-55 vr, only $850 at most ..
