nikkor DX & FX lenses for D3200

31 August 2015 - 04:19 AM

Hello,  I am confused about the lenses that are available for the D3200.  I come from a film background and I normally use a 50mm f1.8 prime lens.  I also like my 28mm f2.8 lens.  

 

As I understand it, the D3200 native lenses are the DX ones.  If I get any FX lenses for it they are going to be a different focal length?  for example, the AF-S Nikkor 50mm f/1.8 will actually be a 75mm lens on my camera.  

 

I have seen this lens - Nikon AF Nikkor 50mm f/1.8.  Now it looks as though it was made for a film camera but I'm wondering if I can use this with the D3200.

 

I have got the 18-55mm AF-S DX Nikkor f/3.5-5.6 lens but I don't like the fact that I can't go all the way to f/1.8.  It's just what I am used to I suppose but if someone could maybe explain how nikon lens work that would be great.

 

 


Hello from raining old england

Hello,

 

I have decided to join 'team Nikon' as it were.  I have been practicing photography for a few years now, started with a Pentax Q and then moved onto Pentax ME Super.  I've now taken a new step back to digital photography (because quite frankly trying to learn everything using film is bloody expensive).  

 

I look forward to my new digital adventures.
