Need advice on lens

[Andyc8470]

Hi, I'm a newbie here. Bought a D7000 recently and are getting hook to photography.

I'm try to get a 60mm mirco or a 105mm mirco lens from Nikon. But both are FX format lens.
Is it ok to have a FX lens on a DX camera?

Appreciate all advice and 10Q in advance.

Yes there is no problem with that.

Hi Spree86,

Not a problem at all.

The crop factor for the DX Camera will give you more in terms of "focal length". That is a 60mm lens will be 60x1.5= 90mm and 105x1.5=158mm effectively on an APS size sensor.

Happy shooting.

Haha I am not the TS and the correct term would be "field of view" not focal length

# 50–60 mm range typically used for product photography and small objects
# 90–105 mm range the standard focal range used for insects, flowers, small objects - 60mm on crop body
# 150–200 mm range gives more working distance — typically used for insects and other small animals - 100mm on crop body

Thank you mariner64!! A bit confuse here. i know the factor is 1.5 but what is the effective range for an APS size sensor?
