I have e tokina 11-16mm which is marketed as both dx and fx. My question is will the d600 shoot in dx or fx mode?

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.

I have the Tokina 11-16 as well. When I mount the 11-16 on the Nikon D3, it does NOT automatically crop to DX. I can use it at 15-16mm in FX mode. Ditto with Tokina 10-17 Fisheye (doesn't crop automatically). On the other hand, when I mounted other third party DX lenses (Sigma 10-20, Sigma 50-150, Tamron 17-50 VC) on the D3, the D3 did automatically crop to DX (though of course you can select a different crop).

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

I have the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 and I used it on my D90. I purchased a D700 and it works great at 15mm and 16mm. Anything less there is vignetting. Incredible sharp lens, at least my copy.

I don't see a D600, but a 600d...if the camera has the EOS designation the Sigma should work, The lenses with give a little different field of view than on the full sized Canon EOS series, 5D, 6D,

If you meant a D600, then that's a great lens and I'd definitely recommend it. Also look at the 14-24 if that's within your budget and you don't need to use filters.If you actually meant D60, then this lens would not make sense to use on your camera unless you're planning to move to full frame soon. 16mm isn't very wide on DX and f4 isn't anything special. If you are going to stick with a Dx sized sensor long-term, then I would look at the new Sigma 18-35 for a similar zoom range with the huge bonus of a 1.8 aperture. The 17-55 Nikon is also good but it's getting old. If you're looking for an ultrawide for DX, take a look at the Tokina 11-16 or Nikon 10-24.

DX lenses are designed for non-full frame DSLR cameras. They basically have a smaller window that is the same size as the sensor. On a DX camera you can use either DX or FX (full frame) lenses however it isn't a great idea to use a DX lens on an FX camera (or a film camera). Here is a better explanation http://www.nikonusa.com/Learn-And-Explore/Nikon-Camera-Technology/g588ouey/1/The-DX-and-FX-Formats.html and here is a list of DX cameras http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikon_DX_format.

Correct. The lens autofocus will work normally on D800, but other than having a smaller photo on the FX sensor, there will be considerable vignetting which will make you eventually not use it on D800...

Yes mam it is. I use mine on my D7000. I love this lens but I'm really looking forward to shooting it on an FX camera. Works just fine on DX however.

Yes, this lens is mainly for FX cameras however works great on DX cameras like the D7000 just be aware that the focal length in DX is not 200mm because of the crop factor, anyway works great almost same as the Nikon but half price

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. Unfortunately, the Sigma 17-70 is not one that will work the way you want it to on a FX format camera. The Sigma 17-70 OS lens is designed to be used on DX format cameras.

you can use DX lenses on a FX camera in DX crop mode, but it's not the optimal solution, since you dont get the benefit of full resolution. in my opinion, you are much better off buying a full frame lens such as the nikon or tamron 24-70/2.8 lenses. yes i know they are expensive but that's what you bought into when you bought a $3000 camera. expecting to use a $500 lens on it with full functionality is just not realistic.

depends on the lens. Most DX lenses will vignette (black ring around circumference of photo). But, vignetting aside, there will typically be severe distortion near that vignetting as well, and great drop in sharpness outside of the DX crop area. I've used the 35 mm DX 1.8 G on the D600 and results are so-so, it is okay for artistic effect, but gets old quickly and cropping it to DX is pointless since you can just get the 50 mm 1.8D for half the price and FOV will be equivalent, and there will be no vignetting.

I'm not sure what FX or DX is. YOu should be able to find out all you want about the K20D at www.dpreview.com/reviews/pentaxk20d Good Luck

You can use it but it will be as a DX lense which is cropped. Use the 28-300mm FX equivalent which is designed for the D800.I have both lenses and I use the 18-300mm lense on my Nikon 3200. IMHO, The 28-300mm FX lense takes the same quality picture as the 18-300mm DX lense.I have a D600 Nikon which cna work in both DX and FX mode. If you are going to spend that kind of money on a lense, then get the FX lenses ... period!

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.

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.

FX and DX refer to the size of the image sensor. FX is larger - about the size of a physical 35mm frame - and is thus capable of less noise and greater resolution, all other things being equal. But all other things are NOT equal - an FX camera costs considerably more than a comparable DX, and frankly, if you have to ask that question then you're probably not going to notice the difference. Modern DX cameras like the D7100 are capable of more than excellent results, and you would have to be a pro or shooting very specific and difficult subjects to really notice the difference.

This was the first lens I bought when I switched from a DX D7000 to an FX D600. If you plan to eventually move up to a FX Nikon body I'd definitely recommend this lens as it will work on your D60 (but as Tom V said, the D60 won't take full advantage of the lenses capabilities). One of the first photos I took with this lens was printed on 13" x 19" photo paper and I'm very impressed with the results. Years ago I bought the Nikkor 70-300mm 4.5-5.6 G lens not knowing it was an FX lens. It worked well on the DX body but much better on the FX D600. Hope this helps.

I can have you use it by having you change the imaging range of the camera to DX format on the occasion of the use with "the FX camera such as Nikon D600".But thank you for your understanding beforehand because I cannot have you use imaging element (FX format) of the camera to the maximum.
