    You write: “For Nikon DX cameras, we can consider the Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-135mm 1: 3.5-5.6G IF-ED, the EGF of which is 27-202.5 mm (in fact, the same 28-200 mm) “I don’t understand why you are recalculating the focal length for a DX lens, because it is specially designed for DX format and the focal length is indicated not for FX, but for DX cameras, or am I wrong? If I'm wrong, why is the manufacturer lying when specifying a focal point for FX for DX lenses, despite the fact that DX lenses are not recommended for use on FX cameras (and who does it)

      And on the compacts indicate a focal, 6-60mm (for example), is the manufacturer also lying?
      On medium-format optics, they indicate 90mm (and the film 135 already has a crop compared to the SF), then you need to count in 50mm?
      In the cameras of the phones they write 5.5mm.

      The author sits, writes, believes that it will be easier for you to understand and present the viewing angles, and you write nonsense.

    In addition to the above, according to your logic, then the standard Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G ED VR AF-S DX Nikkor on DX cameras has an effective focal length of 27-157,5?

    Not a stone in your direction, but I can't figure it out, help me, in your review of the Nikon 18-55mm f3.5-5.6G AF-S VR DX NIKKOR you point out: “The focal length from 18 to 55mm is very convenient when used on Nikon DX cameras ... This range allows you to take photos with a wide angle of field of view at 18mm. ”, And in the review Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G ED VR AF-S DX Nikkor wrote:“ Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G ED VR AF-S DX Nikkor on a cropped sensor will have an EGF equal to 27-157,5mm. ” Why didn't you recalculate the EGF in one DX lens (18-55), but in the other (18-105)?

      Why are you making claims, this is a blog, not reviews. Photographer works, lives, learns something new, tries different optics, and spends a lot of time to share with you, and you still find some shortcomings there.

      P.S. Yes, 18-105 in the equivalent for the 135th format is 27-157mm.

        I don’t make any complaints, I ask, because I can’t figure it out, because different reviews have different information, I repeat once again why “The focal length of 18 to 55 mm is very convenient when used on Nikon DX cameras. This range allows you to take photos with a wide field of view angle of 18 mm. ", And the Nikon review 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G ED VR AF-S DX Nikkor says:" Nikon 18-105mm f / 3.5-5.6G ED VR "AF-S DX Nikkor on a cropped matrix will have an EGF of 27-157,5mm." Why is EGF not recounted in one DX lens (18-55), and recounted in another (18-105)?

        Be careful. In the Nikon 18-55 review, the conversion to EGF was simply not performed. Indeed, 18mm is a wide angle on Nikon DX cameras. Focal length is a physical quantity, it does not depend on the size of the camera sensor, it is described in detail in the corresponding section. https://radojuva.com.ua/2011/05/size-of-matrica/. Please first understand the basic concepts and do not write nonsense.

    28-200mm is a full-frame FX lens, Arkady specified the conversion for cropped DX cameras - it will be 42-300mm. all cropped NIKON NIKKOR lenses indicate that it is intended for cropping - there is a DX nameplate.

      The question prompted this: “The analogue of this lens for Nikon DX cameras can be considered the Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 18-135mm 1: 3.5-5.6G IF-ED, the EGF of which is 27-202.5 mm (in fact, the same 28-200 mm) "

        The actual focal length is written on the lenses, depending on the crop factor, the angle of view changes, so 18-135 on the crop will have the same angle of view as 28-200 (1,5 * 18-1,5 * 135) on the FF. That is, even on lenses designed for DX carcasses, real focal ones are written, and how it will look on the camera needs to be calculated by yourself.

        The question arose because: “The focal length from 18 to 55mm is very convenient when used on Nikon DX cameras. This range allows you to take photos with a wide angle of field of view at 18mm. ” According to you, for Nikon 18-55mm f3.5-5.6G AF-S VR DX NIKKOR EGF (viewing angle as on FX) on DX cameras will be 27-82,5 mm. I can’t understand what is right: either Arkady was mistaken, or for DX lenses when using on a DX camera you do not need to calculate EGF?

        In general, the question is: is it necessary to calculate EGF for DX lenses when used on a DX camera, or is it the same as for FX lenses on an FX camera?

    Everything, he figured it out, the error was with Arkady. Arkady himself helped to figure out his link http://nikon.ru/ru_RU/product/nikkor-lenses/simulator. After playing with the lenses, I realized that for DX lenses when using on a DX camera you need to calculate EGF) So really for Nikon 18-55mm f3.5-5.6G AF-S VR DX NIKKOR EGF on DX cameras will be 27-82,5 mm I just don’t understand why to do this and indicate the focal length on the DX lens when installing on an FX camera without cropping.

      I ask you to take your words back, for I did not have a mistake. The Nikon 18-55 review clearly states “focal length” and not EGF.

    No))) since you wrote not about the focal length, but about the angle of view, that is, the EGF: "This range allows you to take photos with a wide angle of field of view at 18mm."

      Yes, that's right, 18mm on the Nikon DX camera allows you to take photos with a wide angle of field of view. Where is the mistake? Where did the EGF stick from? Please do not clutter your comments with your stupidities.

        The Nikon DX designation clearly links the Nikon 18-55mm 1: 3.5-5.6G VR AF-S DX Nikkor SWM Aspherica lens to Nikon DX cameras (details here - https://radojuva.com.ua/2012/03/nikon-lenses/). If we are talking about the focal lengths of the kit lens Nikon 18-55 DX, then this automatically attaches the crop factor to it. And the focal length is also the focal length in Africa. The FX will not have “the same” for one simple reason, this lens is not intended for these cameras and will not work correctly, which is confirmed by my test shot with this lens and the full-frame (APS, Full Frame, Nikon FX) D700 - https://radojuva.com.ua/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/nikon-af-s-dx-18-55-mm-f-3-5-5-6g-vr-fx-dx-2.jpg

    Arkady gives quite rare articles on lenses that have been tested in practice. People! Read photo tutorials, learn, practice. I know how many serious photographers - no one sits on the Internet for 24 hours a day, nothing will ever work out without personal practice (without "flying" hours). Do not turn a technical resource into a bazaar.

    Arkady,
    Thanks for the very interesting reviews. I often re-read them.
    in this article I suspect that you made a mistake saying that there is no focus ring. Rather, the diaphragm rings.

    Is there a problem with the zoom ratio depending on the distance to the focus point?
    such as the NIKON AF-S 28-300 mm f / 3,5-5,6 G ED VR:

    I agree with Oleg's previous comment (and somewhat surprised by Arkady's findings) - I have had this wonderful lens for a long time (on D50) and I will not part with it for anything! Branded Nikon's drawing. The lens is a tool in our hands. You need to learn how to use the tool - and the result will be!

    I got this lens by accident (I bought it with the D200 included). I read Arkady's review about Nikon AF 28-200mm F / 3.5-5.6G and decided to get rid of it right away. However, after testing, I decided to leave it just for travel. With such dimensions and weight, and a ridiculous cost of $ 100. at the moment it is out of competition in the price-quality section among travel zooms. Personally, I didn’t like the protruding trunk and the fact that the “zoom” ring had to be turned counterclockwise unusually, unlike most modern Nikon lenses. And with a focusing speed, everything is GOOD, he checked it on reportage shooting on cameras D200, D90 and D7100.

        It may well be, and this is good, since the old version, which seems to be better than this, and made better, is almost half the price, around $ 170 per copy in the state of 97-98.
