35mm. sigma 1.4 art lens - am I being daft?

Hiya

 

Me again!

 

You can probably tell by now I am not the technical sort!!

Hhahah

My 35mm 1.4 arrived yesterday. Great lens.

Through the view finder it looks like a dx lens and I know

it's not. Well it can be both.

It has the crop frame in sight and when I take a

shot.....well it's cropped.

Reminds me if my 10-24 nikon which is fine because that

IS a Dx lens.

Am I being daft?

The fx button has disappeared from the top of the screen

also. Confused because I thought these lens ' s just went

with whatever body they would be put on?

This is my first sigma lens, it's kinda hefty really but I

haven't tried it out yet.

Thanks

Check your camera's control menu, it sounds like the camera has been switched to DX crop mode instead of FX or

automatically switching between the two size formats.

Yup! Got it! Thanks! The lens didn't automatically go to

fx. So pressed the Fn button on the side and now it's fx

format thanks forbhelping ;)

<p>Enjoy that lens, it's a doozy.</p>

Did your camera automatically identify it as a DX lens? Although you can easily set it to FX manually, that does sound like

a malfunction.

<p>Paranoia moment, because I had a brain dead in a shop when trying one of these... it <i>is</i> the 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM | A, not the 30mm f/1.4 DC HSM | A, yes? If it's hefty, though, I'd expect it to be the 35mm. Unless you're luckier than me, I'd recommend a lot of live view autofocus until you get hold of a Sigma dock to fix the autofocus with...</p>
