Sure. I'll use Nikon in this example.

The crop factor for the Nikon DX sensor compared to a Nikon FX sensor is approximately 1.5x. So, if you put a 300mm lens on a DX camera, you would need a 450mm lens on an FX camera to get the same image on the FX sensor.

In other words, for a given focal length lens, you get more reach with the DX sensor or less reach with the FX sensor.
