Great shot..I personally think you'd LOVE the latest G2 version on your D500, although, much
has to do with the person behind the viewfinder as well!

I use it on both full frame and "C" sensor. For the money, it's a good lens. The downside is weight as it's too heavy for hand holding for extended periods. I mainly use it for shooting from a car or where I can rest is on something.

I'd consider another camera store if they didn't understand that it could be used very effectively on your 7000 or 7100.

I wouldn't necessarily turn my back on a store because one person was misinformed, or just made a mistake. I would feel differently if they tried to sell me something that wouldn't work. Maybe just go back and help the guy out by showing him the error in his ways. Not your job, just a nicer approach IMHO.

The information about having to multiply the aperture by the crop factor is somewhat confusing. The lens will always transmit the same amount of light onto various sensors using the same aperture. For low light situations, a 50mm f1.8 will still be a 50mm f1.8. Where the crop factor comes in, however, is in the matter of depth of field. A crop sensor using an fx lens would not have as great dof as a full frame sensor would.

Aperture, def.: In optics, the f-number (sometimes called focal ratio, f-ratio, f-stop, or relative aperture) of an optical system is the ratio of the lens's focal length to the diameter of the entrance pupil. It is a dimensionless number that is a quantitative measure of lens speed, and an important concept in photography.

Please note....the determination of aperture has no relationship to sensor size.

Thanks again.

There is a lot of misinformation on this subject across the internet.
It is hard to know what to believe.
Believe what Steve said here, he got it right!
