This will work on both FX and DX, but will give you a circular image in the center of the frame on FX (full frame) cameras instead of the rectangular image that fills the frame on DX sensor cameras.

I used the 55-200mm/4-5.6 lens on my DX format D200 and thought that it was an excellent lens. There are two things that would make me prefer it to the excellent 24-85mm/3.5-5.6 in your case. First, you would probably be using the lens at longer focal lengths, in which case both lenses would be operating at f/4.5 to f/5.6, so there is no advantage to having the 24-85mm in terms of low light capability. Second, the 24-85mm is designed for the FX format, so you'd be paying for a wider field lens than you need on a DX camera. If you ever go to FX format, the 24-85mm/3.5-5.6 is a real jewel to own.

yep. I am going to amend my advice and recommend the Tokina 11-16 2.8. This gets excellent reviews and is faster than the others for low light shooting such as UW. I shot with the 10-24 such subjects as a gilded church. It came out spectacular. All in all, if money is not an issue, it is a tossup between the nikon and tokina. I switched to fx format and now use the nikon 12-24. It's a monster. BTW, another great option for the Nikon DX is the great 18-200 zoom.

Yes. It works with all Nikon DSLRs whether DX or FX. The combination of the 24-85mm with the Nikon D2X, a DX camera, should produce excellent results due to the smaller size of the image sensor, which is not as demanding as larger FX image sensors.

Not unusual that a this type of thing is in error, happens rather frequently on Amazon and other sites. I don't use Nikon, I use a Pentax K-5 IIs so I'm not that familiar with Nikon. I did check the Tamron site and there is a mount for Nikon so this will fit your camera. Even if you use the FX version of this lens it will still work. I remember reading somewhere that a DX lens can be used on a FX body and the sensor can be cropped for it, kind of neat. Anyway, if you choose to buy this lens, I have no doubt you will love it because it's a highly rated lens for Pentax and many others. I have one and it's unbelievably sharp with excellent contrast ( at least on my camera with my user settings), a limiter and, I think, a very good manual focus ring that has excellent resistance, a clutch would be better, but as is it's very good. Makes an excellent short telephoto at a 1.5 crop. Anyway, I hope this helps and if you choose to buy it you will not be disappointed.

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.

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.

I have tested this on a FX body and indeed it is a true FX lens. To get the focus just right, you can use Live View mode and magnify the area you want in focus, and then take the photo.

Any FX lens can be used with a DX camera, but the actual effect (relative to a 35 mm) will be multiplied by a factor of around 1.3. It would have the same effect as a 40-400 mm lens. For FX cameras, you need to make sure the lens does not say "DX." A "DX" lens will show dark areas in the corner, or if zoomed out will look as though you are looking through a tube. An FX camera needs to be reset to DX to use a DX lens.

My experience putting this lens on a DX (D90) camera was disappointing. The focal length is drastically changed to more like 105-300. Marrying this with a DX is like putting a race motor in a station wagon. It ends up working, but for the investment, there isn't the payoff you would expect. This lens really belongs on an FX sensor camera. Realizing this, I went and upgraded my body to the D750 and I have been happy ever since.

The lense will certainly fit the mount, but because it is made for a DX sensor the light circle will not cover the entire sensor of an FX camera. If you are going from DX to FX you are going to need to buy new lenses or live with the reduced coverage of your DX lenses. If you know someone with a full frame camera try the lense out or go to a camera store and bring a CF card with you so that you can try it out first hand. There might also be an issue with the contacts on the lense matching up, I have read that this happens in some cases when the lense is not a Nikon.

Yes, even though it's an FX lens, it will work on DX cameras. I've used it on a D5200.

What the manual says--DX lenses are for use only with DX-format digital single-lens reflex cameras such as the D7000 or D3000 series. I have a D5200 and it works on it.

Tough call since it's a full frame lens and you're using a DX body. If you think someday you'll move up to a FX body then I would say yes. If not, then I would consider a wide angle DX lens instead.

f4.0. The DX format does not affect the aperture, only the effective field of view and focal length. That lens on a DX is the equivalent of a 450mm on an FX format camera.

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.

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.
