No both are FX (FF). The difference is that the Df is only 16MP and the D850 is 45MP. Any Nikon F mount lens it doesn't matter. Just use the same lens.
Take a picture with each camera. Same distance from camera to subject. Same lens. display both in PS and zoom to 100%. The subject in the D850 image is 1.7 times the one from the Df.

I’m not sure if you’re just dense or being disingenuous. A fast lens lets more light in specifically because it has a larger aperture and that larger aperture is the #1 thing for shallow depth of field.
What was stated was a fast lens was needed to control DOF. As I stated (and it is correct) DOF is controlled by, lens mm, apperature, and distance to subject.
I also stated a fast lens let's more light in, allowing for faster shutter speed. Can you get a shallow DOF with one, yes, but it is only one component, but not necessary, a shallow DOF can be had at lower apertures,

Well your comparison isn't right. I am looking for someone with a Nikon Df and D850. Using the same lens and do your test. You will see the 2 cameras which have same size sensor using same lens the size of the subject is much different when you do a 100% zoom in editing software.
Could it be because the df is a ff camera and the 850 is a dx, ff vs crop sensor? And what is the lens made for?
Same size Sensor in what, pixels?

Well “fast” means a wider f stop. Seems pretty straightforward to me.
True, but it is only one component for DOG. it also is used for a faster shutter speed. And a longer lens can give shallower DOF ( just have to be careful with compression). A fast lens let's more light in and allows for a faster shutter speed. The three things I mentioned control DOF more than a fast lens.

But depth of field is important. If you want a very shallow depth of field, you need a fast lens…f/1.2,f/1.4. If you want everything in focus you can use a f2/8 or f/5.6 lens and set it at f/8 for your shot.
DOF is sometimes important. I don't see how a fast lens has anything to do with DOF.
DOF is controlled mostly by lens mm, distance to subject, f stop

I don’t understand your question. A standard for pixels per mm for the sensor….that why one camera is 20MP or 24.2MP or 45MP or 65Mp. If we had the same pixels per mm on all cameras, then only need one camera for everyone….unless the manufacturer installed other options like IBIS.
Your reply is also hard to understand. Use quote reply as I did here and it would make it easier.
I think this is what you are trying to say...........Pixels are not all the same size. Sensors are different sizes, and so are the pixels that collect light. For instance, a crop sensor is about half as large (48%) as a full-frame sensor on a mirrorless or DSLR camera.
So, even though both a crop sensor and a full-frame sensor have 24 million pixels, the pixels are not the same size. Each pixel on the crop sensor is smaller than a pixel on a full-frame sensor.

So if you don’t want it or need it, then no one else should want one or need one either? Should we all ask you for permission before buying new lenses?
He didn't say that. He said who wouldn't want want, meaning just that. Everyone should want one...

Yup, the might be a lot of cons, but not weight.

It was originally posted in a different section when the section police got uptight. As I mentioned above Admin would move it to Photo Gallery which they did before you viewed and posted. So, no harm done.

Too long, too heavy, too much extension at 400mm, too SLOW at 400mm, that lens is NOT a travel lens unless you are intending to have your neck massaged each night while your on vacation.
1 1/2 is pounds to heavy? Not for me and I'm 768.

Very interesting images indeed and...disregard the section police!
A visually pleasing image is a visually pleasing image regardless of where you post it. We need more members who look for and comment on the positive rather than what they perceive as the negative. Admin will correct any wrong section issues.

What is the reason you want to delete it? Do not let people run you off. You did good, in photographing and posting.

We got Hawgsters complaining that AI is not really photography. Since when did sculpture become photography ? There isnt ANY forum section to move this one over to.
Images were taken with a camera. Why is it not photography?
