I am really confused whether to buy Nikon 35mm DX f/1.8 lens or 50mm FX f/1.8 lens for my Nikon D3300 camera, because of its 1.5 crop factor.

I know that if I use a 50mm FX lens on my camera, it will be slightly zoomed, but I don't care about that. My only concern is about the f-stop. I read in a review that I need to multiply the crop factor (1.5) by the f-stop (1.8) as well. Is that true? My only concern is about the f-stop.

Do I get a maximum f-stop of 2.7 (1.8 × 1.5)? Will my f-stop actually reduce from 1.8 to 2.7, if I use a 50mm FX lens?
