[QUOTE="lokatz, post: 649628, member: 43924"] All Nikon FX bodies introduced since 2007 support DX mode. By default, they switch automatically to DX mode when a DX lens is used, meaning that only the center part of the sensor is used and you lose resolution. Your lens will have the "1.5x DX factor", though. ALL lenses for Nikon SLRs are spec'd with their 35mm-equivalent focal length, which tends to cause confusion at times. On all or most (not sure which) FX bodies, you can override and switch to FX mode with a DX lens. That will give you full resolution, with the DX lens now effectively at 35mm focal lengths, but in most cases with substantial quality losses at the edges and corners, including blacked-out corners in some cases. I assume that's what Don referred to with "will not work correctly". [/QUOTE]
