In reality using FX glass on DX isn't 'bad' except at the wide end when you either need a Sigma 10-20 or some other means of going wide. Yearn for the day my 20-2.8 becomes 20 rather than having the field of view of a 30.

If you retain an FX body then presumably when you leave home you know whether you are going to need wide or long? You could think of the D500 as being a sophisticated X1.5 tele-converter? But a whole lot more!

The other advantage of using FX glass on a DX camera is you are using the sweet part of the image circle. No vignetting, little edge curvature or sharpness fall of.
