[QUOTE="nickt, post: 674195, member: 4923"] DX lenses can be thought of as lighter and lower cost. Less glass is needed because the smaller DX sensor captures a lesser area of the scene. I like to say corners are 'cut' in the DX lens. Figuratively and literally. FX lenses are built bigger and will cast a quality image over the larger FX sensor. There is no crop factor to think about here. The crop factor you hear about comes just by having a DX body. A DX or FX lens of the same focal length will give the same view on your camera. However, a DX lens used on a FX body can give vignetting. A non-Nikon lens to consider is the Tamron 70-300 SP. It is the one priced around $450 new (A005). I got mine a long time ago with a $100 rebate. [/QUOTE]
