Gerber Daisy (DX lens/FX body)

I wanted to see what I could get using a DX lens with an FX Nikon. This is what resulted when I mounted my 18-200 VR on my D3 and disabled the feature that automatically switched to DX mode.

D3-101808_048

Wonderful shot!

Besides the expected vignetting, the image quality seems fine to me. If you either want or don't mind the vignetting, the DX lenses look to be a fine choice on an FX body.

It looks great to me Vern.

Nice effect, Vern. It would be fun to see a portrait shot this way.

I love it!

Very nice. The DX lens on the FX mode could be a very useful effect for a lot of things.

I sure like how it came out you come up with some great images all the time no matter what you use I think you could make good images with a pin camrea

The flower looks great. Does the vingeting change with zoom settings?

The vignette is perfect for this flower. The color is excellent!

I really like this image...It's like a frame around the subject that many people add in PP

Ruth Voorhis		26-Oct-2008 13:10
A successful result with this subject, pretty and very clear, and the vignetting works well here.

Jeanne Newman		26-Oct-2008 12:31
Another very creative use of the D3, Vern...you certainly do put that marvelous camera through its paces! Beautiful "experiment!"

'Looks like it oughta work very nicely as a vignetting portrait lens.
