is this a lens for fx (full-frame) sensors? or dx/crop sensor?

The Lensbaby replaces a lens, and like any lens, will work with whatever sensor is installed in the camera body. Lenses work optically the same way whether they connect to full-frame or crop sensors, but on a crop sensor, the lens will produce a narrower field of view. Thus a 50mm lens on a full-frame is truly 50mm. On a crop sensor it is roughly 85mm, or not the same width. However, the len's ability to read and record light should always work the same. All Lensbabys should thus work on any kind of sensor body. The field of view will just be different depending on the size of the sensor, but it is otherwise compatible. Hope this helps.

This is a full frame (FX) lens, but you can use it on the DX camera bodies as well (but then you'll get the equivalent of 25,5-52,5mm lens). The construction is very solid, it's very sharp from f3.2, autofocus is fast and accurate. A very good investment if you need that angle range.

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.

Yes it could but it was designed for a crop sensor and not full frame, so you would see a dark border around your images. The other option would be to set your camera to DX mode, but that sort of defeats the purpose, I will say this is a great lens for those on a budget.

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

It's meant for FX, but it can be used on a DX camera body. If used with a DX body, the lens becomes equivalent to 25.5 - 52.5 mm lens, which isn't very wide. Nikon DX sensors have a 1.5x crop factor. If used on an FX camera body, you will get a true 17-35mm field of view.

The lens works with both crop and full-frame sensors, hence the DG label. It is a fantastically sharp lens, you will love it!

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.

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.

Your body will take an EF lens according to dpreview.com, so the lens will work. You threw me off a little there, there is no such thing, to my knowledge as a FF body though I think you mean a full frame sensor.

I use this lens on my D300s, which is the dx (crop sensor) version of your full-frame D700. I've posted some pictures of jewelry in the "customer images" for you to scrutinize and make your judgment.

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

It's for both actually, you can use it for fx and dx cameras. Most lenses will work on dx cameras as long as you don't go too wide. I think nikon is trying to give the consumer a solid all around lens for the non pro with this product. My only negatives are the slow speed of the lens. As long as you in good light, you should be fine. This lens is not good for indoor photography without off shoe flashes.

You don't say if your lens is DX or FX. If it is a DX lens designed for crop sensor camera like the D3300 or D5200 it will not work. You have to look at the camera side of the lens to see if there is clearance for the lens side of the converter which does extend beyond the mount surface. On DX lenses the back element at the mounting surface extends slightly so they would not mate.

I am pretty sure it is a crop sensor lens. Too bad because it is a great lens.

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

The nikon D7100 it's DX but the lens is for DX and FX, in Nikon D7100 the crop is 1,5
