When I get back go Spain (later this month or in October) I will do a straight comparison.
The Fuji is APS-C (DX) so it is only a x1.5 multiplier compared to a FX camera.
D600 with 300mm lens, and XPro1 with 55-200. I'll also do a near equivalence so a D600 with 200mm and then cropped up to 300mm view so this will yield a near similar angle of view and MP equivalence.
D600 (24MP) v. XPro1 (16MP).
Interestingly...
The 55-200 paperwork says it is the equivalent of 84-305.
So ... unlike Nikon DX lenses, Fuji haven't corrected their lenses for the multiplication factor. They are effectively FX lenses?
No the Fuji lenses wont cover a FX format.
The lenses are designed specifically for the X series cameras and wouldnt focus accurately on a FX camera. The focus point is (I think) on 14-19mm behind the lens
But we are back to the old chestnut. How can a 55-200 be 'equivalent' to an 84-305 ...unless the magnification factor is being applied? Never get my head round this assertion.
A DX lens on a DX body has exactly the same field of view as the same focal lens as an Fx lens on an Fx body. Only when an FX lens is used on a DX body is there any relevance to a 35mm equivalent statement.
I have not however compared the field of view on the Fuji to the above mentioned scenarios. But I feel the 18mm of the 18-55 isnt as wide as the 18-105 DX on my D7000. Hence my view the Fuji isn't corrected.
Need to check.
I have a very nice diagram somewhere that explains this I will try to dig out later today when I have done my other jobs for this morning/afternoon.
Sorry Jonathan...my head was filled with holiday fizz for a moment.
I am back now and yes I agree.
The Fuji has the same field of view as the D7000 with a DXlens at the same focal length.
I was forgetting my D200IR is a Dx body with an FX lens on it and the narrower field of view was confusing me for a moment.
And yes...compared to an FX body and FX lens the Fuji is 1.5x magnification.
Meds now working.
