Is this a cropped sensor lens? Is this a DX or an FX (nikon)?

I am a Canon guy. Not sure about Nikon DX vs. FX, but I do no know this lense is for cameras with APS-C image sensors and not the full frame 35mm image sensors. Make sure you buy it configured for Nikon too.

Full image this lens is for an EF mount rather than EF-S which is the cropped sensor mount

FX is full frame 35mm sensor. DX is an APS C size 24mm sensor. Think of DX like taking a small rectangular section from within a larger rectangular section (the larger section being an FX sensor).

No. It's made for DX cameras like the D300, D90, etc. Whenever you see a lens labeled DX it's for cameras with smaller sensors. For full frame you need a lens labeled FX.

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.

DX describes the crop that most digital SLRs have because their sensor is smaller than a piece of 35mm film. It is roughly 1.6x smaller. "Effective focal length" describes this difference for any particular lens focal length. FX is used to describe a digital SLR camera that has a sensor roughly the same size as a 35mm piece of film. DX and SX are also used to describe lenses, because some only make a circle of light large enough to cover a DX camera's small sensor. This makes the lenses lighter, cheaper, and has no disadvantage with a DX camera, but they don't cover a FX sensor.

John, I don't know the Nikon # but what may be confusing about this lens, it's a DX format lens so you'll find it at www.nikonusa.com under DX lenses. I love this lens! I shoot only DX format, but it works well for what I need. It can be used on FX format cameras, but the camera will auto-crop it to the DX sensor area. The FX or film equiv. focal lenfgth is a 15mm to 36mm. I shoot with the 18 to 300, the 80 to 400 (FX lens) and the 10 to 24. One nice bonus is all three of my lenses take the same 77mm filters. Hope this helps, John in Black Hawk.

Should work with both FX and DX fine (in manual focus of course). The Fuji will crop the FX to its own APS sensor area as any DX Nikon body would do. Ive used a variety of all lenses equally well.

A DX lens will work with a DX (cropped sensor) or FX (full frame/35mm size sensor) camera. The downsize of a DX lens is that is not wide enough to utilize the full resolution of a FX sensor, which is why you want this expensive-ass camera in the first place. I was lucky enough to have old NIKKOR film lenses lying around, which happen to work with the d610 auto-focus.

To expand on another response, the most critical difference is the FX vs DX. That means that the image sensor on the FX (full frame) is larger and able to capture a greater area compared to a DX (digital, cropped frame.) Full frame lenses can be used on a DX camera, but it is a waste because the sensor can't see all of the image projected by the lens. Imagine the way looking through a toilet paper roll limits your angle of view, as an example of how this works. Putting a DX lens on an FX camera is possible, but the sensor is a greater area than the projected image, meaning the periphery of the picture would be blank. If you are a hobbyist, you probably don't need the full frame camera (nor the expense of it or the lenses required to get the most out of it.) The D610 is an upgrade from the d7100, but for the price to be worth it, you need to have a full frame lens.

Technically, it's an FX lens. In other words, it will cover the full frame format sensor. However, I use this lens on a DX format camera. Since the DX sensor is smaller the end result is that this lens becomes a 120mm to 600mm! The smaller sensor nets you an additional 1.5X magnification. It will work on either format. I mount this zoom on my D7100 (DX) body which has an additional 1.3x crop factor built in! That way, the 600mm, effectively becomes 780mm! The images are crisp as one can expect from Nikon.

Yes it is. This lens is made for a full frame camera. Cropped sensors will not have the fisheye look. This is a very sharp lens.

It is a DX lens and will work on your camera because it works on my D600. I have a friend who thinks you should only use FX lens but my wife and I love this lens and it gives great quality photos!

Actually, Nikon FX cameras have a setting for lens type which can automatically select the area of the sensor for each lens type -- full for FX and partial for DX. Overriding the setting will result in vignetting with a DX lens on a FX body. The 80-400 zoom on a DX body will have an equivalent focal-length range of 120-600 mm.

Yes. It is a great lens, with your D5100 cropped dx sensor, this lens will be the equivalent to a 105mm - 300mm. Be certain to order with the nikon mount version.

The lens that I bought was for a D5200 . Dx mount. It works on my D7100 also.Like I said Dx mount not Fx.

The lens will work with both cameras, both FX and DX, this is a Nikon enginerring thing, the DX will still crop the image, and the FX won't. So the lens will produce a bigger picture on the FX. However, I read that for many lens that have a good DX picture, when the edges are brought into the image, they are the most likey source of any problems with the image. Lens that are great accross the board, are the ones that cost the most, like the 70-200 2.8 VR2, it's a great lens accross the board, from the center (DX), all the way to edge to edge, (FX) If you have any doubt about this, don't flame me, do some home work.
