Wide angle lens options for a Nikon..

But that wouldcompromise your wide angle ability on the DX body......its an expensive move whatever way you go about it....I had to do it when I went from D2X to D3...

It would, and one of the cautions I mentioned. No solution is perfect, unless you have the cash to do it all in one go. I made the swap, and swapped manufacturers too and had to do it in one go, so I went from several lenses to only a couple and then gradually built up again.

Ah - so it was there, but there is a button to stop it from happening. Thanks for clearing that up. I knew the camera could detect which lens was fitted - t comes up in the shooting info on each image file. So the all the chap has to do is find the relative bit in the set up menu and change the option so it will automatically select DX mode when a DX lens is fitted.

If I remember its under the Photo Shooting > Image Area Menu
