The D800E has a 'Full Frame' sensor capable of 7,360 × 4,912 pixel images, but with an APS-C only lens attached, the resolution drops to 4,800 × 3,200 pixels. That's less than the 6,000 × 4,000 you get with your D5300, or the 5,568 x 3712 you get with your D7500.

'Full Frame' cameras are capable of better image quality, but 'Full Frame' lenses have trouble delivering it.

I'm going to keep the 17-50mm f/2.8 as it will be a nice range between 26-70mm or so with my D800E and D7500... I5MP is still good enough, better than my old D700 12MP. Anyways, I just bought a mint Nikon AF Nikkor 20mm f/2.8 Lens for landscapes. What do you think of that lens?

From https://www.opticallimits.com/nikon_...kkorafd2028ff:
"The Nikkor AF-D 20mm f/2.8 is able to deliver very sharp images straight from its largest aperture. Stopped down to f/5.6 the sharpness is on a very high level across the whole FX image.Optically however it is not without flaws. Vignetting is on a rather high level, especially for larger apertures. CAs are also quite pronounced, however they are easy to correct in post processing. Nonetheless, the lens is quite compact and leight-weight. So, compared to optically better lenses (like the Nikkor AF-S 14-24 wide angle zoom or the manual focus Zeiss ZF 21/2.8) it may still be the more attractive option for those who want to travel light. Especially since it's also quite a bit more affordable."

I had one with the D700 a couple years ago and really liked it then. I'm pretty good with my Adobe CS6 software so should be no problem.

"The Nikkor 20mm f/2.8 is a very wide prime that has been around for quite a while. The still current AF-D version of the lens was introduced in 1994, however the basic design goes back to the Ai-S version, which was brought to market in 1984 already. Just like the optical formula, other properties remained unchanged through the years: it is rather compact and light-weight, and also quite affordable for a relatively fast prime."

I got this setup for Landscapes that I do a lot of. I've also updated my 20 year old website if you care to look: https://moskovita-photography.com/ For some reason it's not letting me attach files???

To see the difference between the Nikkor FX 20mm f/2.8 and Tamron DX 17-50mm f/2.8 with the D800E here is a photo of my Birding area in the backyard.
(Why is this forum not allowing "attach files" anymore???) (now I have to upload to my server and use a link to the image icon at the top) I did no editing or cropping except to resize to post here to show you the difference between a FX & DX lens. First pic is taken with the Nikkor FX 20mm f/2.8 ![]() Using the Tamron DX 17-50mm f/2.8 the D800E automatically went to DX mode at 17mm and about half the resolution ![]() I'll be keeping the Tamron 17-50mm f/2.8 TCav Since this forum seems to be fading away, what other good photography forums do you frequent? I like dpreview.com
