You ill like what he has to say about the d800

thomhogan.com wouldn't work for me.

Second I read that the D600 has the same infared input ports as my D5100: front and rear. I love that because it works wondefully and I don't have to carry a cable. I keep the infared trigger in its little case right on my camera strap so it is always with me. Plus you can trigger from up to about 20 ft. away with no wire. Much better IMHO.

The diagram in the brochure shows the above plus a MC-DC2 Remote Cord input. So I guess I'm telling you that you are wrong on that one.

Harry, I'm confused. Are you saying that the 12-24mm Dx lens works without the crop factor on the d700? The 12-24mm is 12-24mm, not 18-32mm on the d700 when you set the dx crop off in the image area? How much of the sensor is used, the full fx or the dx s
Are yuo serious i dont care what uou do your not getting the same picture. Here we go again . Strech widden it do what you want but your still not getting the same picture. Dont get me wrong some parts of it are the same but not the ends for sure
Yes, I have turned off the camera's default DX lens crop function so that ANY DX LENS will have access to the full 12mpx FX sensor area. I suspect that a lot of DX lenses do not have a large enough image circle to make this worthwhile. The 12-24 does, however, since I can get a true 16mm field of view from it in FX mode - you will see in the attached image that vignetting is just starting to set in at the 16mm focal length. The severely vignetted image was taken with the lens set to 12mm. The bright area shows the 5mpx image that would be captured with the DX crop function activated. The image captured is the same as you would get at the 18mm FX setting, except that when you are using the full FX frame, you have a 12mpx image instead of only 5mpx. The bottom line is, there is no good reason to use the Nikkor 12-24 in DX mode on an FX Nikon.

Since I rarely need more width than 18mm for my work, the 12-24 lens is perfect for me.

your pictures look nice but the cropped aera is not going to show up in the finished product "RIGHT"
