Summary

In this episode of Flying Solo I get asked if this popular MUTED style of photo editing has gone too far. A reader asked if he can use Full Frame lenses on a Cropped Sensor camera.

Jeff, thank you for your question, and I think this is one of those things that confuses people quite often.

Now, when I first started on a DX camera, my Nikon D2H, I had FX lenses.
