[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 505348, member: 13090"] DX lenses carry the "DX" label on the lens itself and in the nomenclature (e.g. Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR). If there is no label, it's an FX lens. FX lenses transmit a larger circle of light, needed to cover the larger full-frame sensor of FX cameras, so when you use an FX lens with the smaller DX sensor you're using the center-most part of that circle of light. The center is considered the "sweet spot" because it's the sharpest and has the most contrast. [COLOR="#FFFFFF"]....[/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
