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.
1045620
Yes, but you will not take full advantage of the lens on that camera. Nikon D300 is a crop senzor so you might consider the Tokina 11-16 DX for crop sensor, not FX. Google it, it's the same lens only for crop sensor cameras.
1139013
Yes, this lens is an FX lens and will work with full frame or cropped frame sensors.
818084
This lens is meant for DX cropped sensor cameras, not full frame cameras like the D700. But it will still work, you just won't be using the entire sensor. Nikon 24-70 is better for the D700.
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!
1281011
This lens is a DX format lens and it will only work on DX format cameras and it will only auto-focus if that camera has a focus drive motor. The D70 does NOT have a drive motor. The available 16mm is made for the FX format cameras, those are digital cameras that are the size of 35mm film cameras. It can also be used on a DX, but there will be a focal length 1.5 multiplier added, so it would act like a 24mm and will have a dramatically narrowed field of view at 107 degrees.

It will perfectly work but with manual focus (no autofocus). honestly, i would not buy this lens (considering price and features) with intend to use with this type of camera. it perfectly makes sence though it you will upgrade to FX Nikon camera in future

I would not recommend. Its a portrait lens with a focal length designed for FX. The D7100 is DX, which makes the effective focal length over 200mm - too long in my opinion.

Look into the metabones speed poster for Nikon mount instead.An FX lens is for full frame so there is a crop factor. The metabones coverts your lens to FX and also increases you F stop by one.

It depends upon the lens (if it's a prime), and/or the focal length (if it's a zoom).I frequently use the excellent 35mm f/1.8 DX lens in FX mode on my D700. There is certainly some fall off at the corners, but it works well for my uses (location portraits, and indoor people events).

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

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.

The spec's I've seen on this lens indicate this as compatible with FX and DX cameras. This lens is my work-horse for shooting birds in flight with a D7000 (a DX camera body).

That lens is really only good for DX. It will work at longer focal lengths for FX - but not the entire zoom range.

The camera will default to DX (assuming it recognizes that it is a DX format lens given that it is third-party). You can always over-ride the setting though. I shoot a 11-16 all the time and when I put it on my film camera (N80), I was able to shoot at around the 15mm focal length. My friend mentioned that he had the same experience with a D700. I think it is still a better deal than the effective focal length of 16.5 with a DX format camera. It is better than the 16-28 FX lens (because you cannot put a Circular polarizer on) and the 17-35 f4 tokina. Hope that helps.

Yes, the Lens will work on a D7000. However this is an FX lens and on a D7000 which has a cropped sensor it really becomes a 105-300mm because of the 1.5 crop factor.Many FX users comment on soft edges, but because of the 1.5 crop you will be using the center part of the lens and should not be an issue for you.
