The Dude’s Guide Pt 4: Ordering and Buying Wine. The Dude’s Guide Pt 4: Ordering and Buying Wine The scenario – You’ve just scored a date with a super hot friend of your co-worker. When you pick her up she is wearing a clingy red low-cut dress. The kind of dress that shows her curves and makes you hope it’s a little breezy.

A 35mm DX lens looks the same on a DX body as a 35mm non-DX lens would on it.

@cmdtacos: Hmmm interesting. Not actually owning any DX lenses myself, I just assumed that the smaller image circle was part of producing a more "zoomed out" image. Now I'm left wondering why these DX lenses exist. Their one feature in my eyes apparently doesn't' even exist. @Samurai I-am-awry: There are two main reasons they exist. Part of me also thinks in some cases it's to get people to buy new lenses when they switch to a full-frame camera.

With an FX lens or an older film lens, on a DX camera, some light is lost because it's not hitting the sensor, it's hitting the stuff around the sensor. To achieve the same field of view on a DX camera, you'd use a 35mm lens. Twitter.
