Nikon D700 and My Old AF-S Lenses

[MinorTones]

I'm confused on what lenses are considered DX and FX, and this is the only photo forum I'm a member of, so pardon me for asking this here.

I'm thinking of purchasing a D700. I have a 28-70 AF-S ED 2.8, and an 80-200 AF-S ED 2.8

Will these lenses work on the full frame D700? Are they considered FX lenses?

Those are both FX lenses. You're fine. Enjoy the new camera.

Usually, the DX glass is labeled as such: DX. If it's not, then pay attention to some peculiar sounding focal lenghts, like 18-200 or 55-200 (in zooms). Or lenses like a 35 f1.8 over which nobody makes a fuss... because it has the field of view of a 50mm lens.

In any event, your lenses are FX, that is "full frame." Enjoy the D700!

They will work with the D700. They're considered FX lenses.

If it doesn't actually say DX on the lens then it means it's full frame and will be fine on a D700. I think AF-S are the first of what they call the 'silent wave' type.

These links should clarify it for you ... I was a little confused about what was what for a while and these charts helped a lot.

Knew I could count on you guys. Thats why I keep popping my head in here even though the only RF I have anymore is my Kiev 4A.

Love that 50 Sonnar look.
