A 50mm lens on a D3400 "DX" body will give you an image the same as a a 75mm lens on a Full frame "FX" camera. So if you want a "normal" 50mm image on a DX you need to mount a 35mm lens.

But what happens if the 50mm lens is a DX lens?

But at the same distance and aperture, the 50mm lens on a DX will have LESS depth of field than on an FX camera.

Funny 3 pages of replies and no one answered his question until a page and a half in. Also no one suggested he consult the camera User's Manuel. My Nikon FX camera User's Manual fully explains the DX function with helpful easy to understand illustrations.

Actually, dngallagher answered his question and even supplied a graph to illustrate it. But to his one correct answer there are a ton of answers from people that couldn't find their back end with a GPS unit. If you don't know what your talking about, leave it alone and don't deceive or confuse those trying to learn. There is just too much of this on this thread. All you do is discredit the whole site.

Of course, if you change the position to make the same composition, you obviously change depth of field, and in this case for the same composition, the crop camera will have more depth of field.

This thread proves how many out there have no idea what they are talking about.

It also illustrates that some respondents offer even less, and only post criticisms of others while contributing NOTHING to the discussion. And even others become playful and ask rhetorical questions when they encounter posts that make no sense at all, or have blatant errors. Go figure . . .

For example? Is there a 50mm DX?

From the original post on page 1:

"If shooting an FX lens on DX body, does it effect the actual number of mega pixels the is recorded on the photo?"

Nope. Did not answer the question. He provided the information one could use to answer the question.

Sorry, not going to respond to the rest of your troll-bait.

Trolls like you who partake of name calling and insults are what make it so unattractive these days.

Original question by kfoo: "If shooting an FX lens on DX body, does it effect the actual number of mega pixels the is recorded on the photo?"

Answer by Dngallagher: "The number of megapixels is not effected by the lens, that is a function of the camera sensor."

I guess Dngallagher did answer the original question.

There are certainly many DX / APS-C zoom lenses which have 50mm within their range.
