I will soon upgrade to FX Nikon body. Will this lens function in the 17-70 range on those cameras?
1566270
No.. It will not give its full function as the fpoint will not change. An FX lens of this range would be recommended for this purpose.
1566271
It will work, but because it is designed for DX sensors, you FX sensor will only operate in crop mode. The focal length of the lens will not change. I would recommend a lens designed for an FX sensor to get full use out of your new camera body.

The Sigma 17-70 OS lens is designed to be used on DX format cameras. It will only function on FX format when that camera is in DX crop mode. As an owner of both the D7000 and D700, I can say that this lens vignettes very badly on FX. The Tokina 11-16 f2.8 lens, on the other hand, will work on the D700 at 15-16mm with little or no vignetting, and it's sharp as a tack. There are a few others that work this way - I believe the 12-24 f4 Tokina and a couple of Nikon wide angle DX lenses will also do this.

No...this lens is terrific with DX cameras like my D7000...but since this is a DX lens could work in a FX body, but you would waste your money with this lens using in a FX body...I would recommend use an FX lens an a Dx body rather than a Dx lens in a FX body,,,in that case, you should look for a sigma DG lens that are for FX bodies or look for an FX lens from Nikon....however, the tag price for those lens will be double or triple compared with Dx counterpart....my advice...get an DG or FX lens...i keep my 17-70mm for my d7000, but in my D600 I use 50mm 1.8g, the 70-300mm Vr, the 24-85VR and the 85mm 1.8 G....FX lens in FX bodies....hpe that helps..

NO> Sigma DC lenses are made for Camera's with the smaller APS-C sensor. They are not made for FX sensor cameras. If the camera you buy allows you to put the camera in DX mode you can use the lens... but major cost in MP count. SO really NO.
1566275
This lens is not designed for an FX bodied camera. While it should function with the FX camera, the camera will likely adjust to DX mode (cropping the image like a DX camera does), or if it doesn't do that you will likely get vignetting at the wider settings.
1566276
for an FX or film camera the Sigma 28-105 f/2.8-4 lens will provide an equivalent range and it's a great lens and built tough. the first set of photos in this photo stream are taken with the 28-105 on a D70 just to prove that it's possible to get the shots I wanted on so called obsolete gear and if you page forward the set of Noche en Blanco photos are taken with the 17-70mm lens.https://www.flickr.com/photos/73423234@N00/

Yes. but you'll get a DX crop. Since I don't know which FX body, I can't say what you're pixel count would be (D800 , I think it goes to 15.4mp, D600, I think the DX crop is a bit over 10mp). Hope this helps and best of luck. Oh, Sigma does make a couple of 24-70mm lens (one with a ring motor, one without) for FX bodies, so you might look in that direction as well. Cheers.

Hi, No, this lens only works on DX Nikon , for FX you will have to buy full frame lens.
1566279
The 17-70 is a dx lens and will vignette on a full frame camera in fx mode. If your camera has a dx mode, you can use the lens but then the range will operate as it would on any crop sensor camera (a full frame equivalent of 26-105). So, since it is a dx lens, the short answer is no. You should think about the Nikon 24-120 f 4 if you like the range of the Sigma. 17 in fx terms is a wide angle so you will need a 14-24 or a 17-35 type lens to get the really wide angle of view.

Good Day; I own #2 Tamron lens the Macro 90mmf/2.8 is one of them the other is the 70-300mm f/4-5.6 SP Di with VC. I shoot with a Nikon D7000. The 90mm will work on the D5000 but ck the spec. to see if the AF will work on your camera; it does on mine. The thing you lose on using a Full Frame lens on a crop sensor body is a full f-stop which keeps u from allowing that extra light into the camera. I bought my 2 tamron lens for FX for one day soon I will step up to an FX body. So in the mean time I find other ways of getting the extra light I might need. The 90mm is a very good lens and Tamron is working hard to become world class glass. My next lens will be the 70-200mm F/2.8 from Tamron, sure they are not as good as the Branded Nikon but they are great lens and Lighter on the Back Pocket. Hope I helped you Oh One More thing; "If you are not going to become a pro photographer Nikon and Tamron make great lens made for DX bodies that are far cheaper.

It will work fine with FX G Lenses. There is an aperture adjustment ring. It is not as precise as a manual focus aperture lens, but it does get the job done.

Before answering, I tried the lens on a D70s. The lens works perfectly. I would, however, bring to your attention that this is an FX lens and the D70 has a DX crop sensor. As a result, this lens has will be closer to a 35mm field of view on a DX camera. The description indicates 84 degrees FX but about 60 degrees DX. If you do not need the features of this lens (aperture ring, etc.) and are simply seeking a 35mm lens, consider the 35mm 1.8 DX for about 60% of the price. Otherwise, I use this lens a great deal and my only real frustration is its tendency to ghost. It ranges from F/2.8-f/22, is metal and is small enough to drop into your pocket.

If it were on a fx sensor then yes! but if you have a cropped sensor I woulndt neccesarry recommend this particular lens for that. If you do have a cropped sensor the 35mm f1.8DX is a better option.
1678203
I use on an fx body - d800. You could probably use on a dx body but it would cropped and therefor not be optimal. Also note that whatever body you use this on it is a manual focus only.

I have only used it d5300 which is FX not DX like a 610. But have used it all types of lens Nikon, Tamron, Sigma and it works with all of them. but the AF will be slower. I Find it sometime it quicker to switch to manual focus when using it.

I think the previous responders are correct it is compatible with your D7000. I use it with a D 800 at 28-300mm. If you eventually upgrade to an FX sensor camera like the D600 or D800 it will also be compatible at 28 t0 300 at full frame. These camera allow you to use either FX or DX lenses. These cameras automatically crop to the DX sensor area when they sense a Dx lens. You can also select the area size even with the FX lens so that it sees a DX crop area which will effectively get you at Zoom range 28mm FX mode to 450mm DX mode. It works great and I find mine to be quite sharp.

It work on any Nikon mount on FX and DX format. The dx format is a crop sensor and Fx format is full sensor. The Dx has 1.6x crop factor. It mean the focal length of this lens x 1.6.
900504
Hey man, this may be a little late, but the reason they say it isn't compatible is this is a FX (full frame lens) meaning that for the D7000 (DX APS-C sensor). The lens will work, but it will change your effective field of view. Just know that this well be more like 105-400mm instead of 70-300mm. But it will work.

Yes it's a prime lens and if you use it on a dx camera you'll have to back up a bit not so much on fx cameras of course out doors ,distance would be less of a issue. Unless you need 1.4 there are better choices out there like a 14-24 or 16-35.

I can't talk about the 16-85 DX, but the 24-85 FX is a good lens. It also depends on what camera you use. Note that the 24-85 is a full-frame lens, so if you use it on a DX camera, it will act as a 36-127. The 16-85 is a DX (cropped) lens, so it will act as a 24-127 no matter what camera you use.
833164
No. Its a crop sensor lens. Gives me nearly the same aspect on D7100 as Id get on FX body with the 70-200 2.8. Sigma and Tamron make great lenses for your needs, with a better price point over the Nikon glass. You (your clients) would be hard pressed to tell the difference! Good look and happy shooting. 500px.com\wellsjb1

This is one of the best lenses I have ever owned. I am not sure about the 35-70 2.8 version because there is no macro application on the 24-70. I use this lens for both fx and dx cameras how ever I would assume that it is a little sharper than the 35-70 due to the fact that it is newer technology. I can't find any current reviews for your lens. I agree with Marty in LA, buy the Nikon 105mm or 200mm if you want macro and if you need a versatile wide angle buy the 24-70 2.8 and the 70-200 in either F2.8 or F4...
824635
Yes, definitively! A little narrower angle of view doesn't really make that much difference! I have used this lens for over two years and never think of switching it to 24-70!

I used it on D600 and d7100.. As long as body has built in motor should be fine. Note, you need a hood for outdoor use, can flare in bright light situation like back lit subject.. Very very sharp and excellent on both fx or dx. I like the macro function as well. Excellent build.. Push/pull zoom is easy enough to get used to..
177795
Yes, but the D7000 has a DX, or 'cropped' sensor, which will not render subjects at the full 14mm focal frame of this lens. The full framed (FX) sensor cameras (such as D800) do not crop. The impact of this lens is lost on a DX sensor camera... kind of like a ski-boat in the bathtub.
