I'm not sure you can compare DoF using the same focal length lens on a crop and full frame, the 'field of view isn't the same'. It's true the DoF would be different using the same focal length but the framing would be completely different giving a completely different image on a crop compared to full frame. If you increased the focal length on full frame to give a comparable framed image the DoF would be shallower on full frame.
If you compared the same framing full frame gives a shallower DoF. The two images below are the same framing taken with 200mm f5.6 on crop and 300mm f5.6 on full frame.

I keep meaning to repeat this using different apertures but getting a squirrel to stay still long enough is difficult
The good thing about crops is the feeling of the extra length and potentially 'longer feeling' of the lenses. It means you don't need to cart about big heavy long lenses compared to full frame to get the same framing.
I did allude to this, but was trying to not over complicate things
But taking everything into consideration I prefer the overall 'effect' with FF. Of course, personal preference

Will report back with my findings and D750 comparison as too if this has been a good/bad/questionable move!
It's a Benro fh150 (had to order it from china in the end as I couldn't find a European let alone UK seller)
2 main advantages over its rivals from my point of view.
1) you fit it over a lens that is already mounted to the camera, no removing the lens and fitting a restraining ring from the bag first like most of the other solutions
2) you can use a 150mm CPL and square/rectangle filters if required.
downside is that it's huge and a pain in the ass to carry like all of the 150mm kits

I am sure the local 'bear works' shop could help with something furry that would stay still!!

First try at photographing the Milky Way:
Bahamas Milky Way by Nick, on Flickr
I probably could have shot it at a lower ISO, but I didn't know what I was doing so 3200 it was!
Also, have an osprey:

Amazing that you managed to capture a whole galaxy in there too - makes you realise how small and insignificant we are.

Stupid Amazon... lets send an imported D500 with foreign manual only and no UK warranty info. Box also been opened before, camera used or at least handled. And yes it was Amazon and not a 3rd party fulfilled by amazon.
It's a sign of saying f**K you DX lol

Thanks, a friend thinks it is Andromeda to the left!
Thanks, I had it at F/4 and ISO 3200 for 20 seconds. Next time, I think I might try F/2.8 and 1600

Its defiantly been used, or at least experimented with - the menu went straight in to the shooting menu - all been set up in manual mode. I'm sure some of the menus have also been changed!
My D750 is sitting there, looking at me.... like a smug little git.

If you go to Wilkinson cameras they will give you the £150.00 off, for the Nikon part-ex offer, even without sending them a camera. Camera then costs £1549.00, which is probably cheaper than Amazon themselves?
Linky >http://www.wilkinson.co.uk/checkout/cart/
ETA: Amazon are charging £1679.00 so a nice saving of £130 if bought at Wilkinson.

I believe if bought direct from Amazon and not a shop, you can send it back after 6 months no questions asked. (now there`s a thought for testing it)

You asked him what he thought of the camera, when probably he's only just opened the box, hence my reply to give him a chance!...And that was my reply to you.
He can notify Amazon later on or when he gets a chance, as we know Amazon have a excellent returns policy.

2 things, its not your photos.
