Note:
DX Nikkor lenses are designed exclusively for Nikon digital SLRs and their DX format Sensor.
When selecting a lens for use on a Nikon D-Series SLR, pay special attention to the angle of
view that is possible with each selected focal length.
All Nikon D-Series SLRs will provide the same angle of view with each DX Nikkor and AF Nikkor
lens. The shorter focal length DX Nikkor optics provide the widest available angle of view.
