Hi all!
I’ve been using a Nikon D5600 paired with a Sigma 18-35mm f1.8 (DX) with great results for Timelapse and Milky Way photography.
I’ve just switched to a D810 which came with an old Nikkor 28mm f2.8 (FX). I’ve just received it and have no time for thorough testing so, in your opinion, and having to shoot this weekend, what would be the best combination (quality-wise)?
- Using the D810 in DX mode paired with the Sigma 18-35mm?
- Or using the D810 in FX with its Nikkor 28mm?
By the way, what difference in angle of view can I expect when using D810’s DX mode with DX lenses? And regarding resolution (number of pixels in width & height) and file size?
Hope to have explained it correctly, I’m still overwhelmed by sensor sizes and crop factors…
Thanks in advance!
