How the lense works with a FX format ? I guess That I can use an autofocus system?

Depends on what camera you are using. Nikon's can use FX and DX lenses interchangeably although the resolution of a DX lens on a FX camera will be deducted by 1.5x. I don't know if this particular lens is FX or DX but it will work either way. As for the autofocus, once again, look at your camera. This uses an AF system of focusing (uses a screw and rangefinder on the camera to turn the focus ring.) If your camera has a AF\MF switch built in the body, this lens's autofocus will work for you.

This lens is a very good lens. Good glass. Heavy and solid construction. I bought mine to use on my Nikon D750 FX, and everything works perfect, including the AF! This is a gem of a lens. The one I sought out to buy was used, made in the 1990s, and from Japan... not China! It's much better than a lot of newer lens in the same class, and less expensive. Great lens.

No reason. It's a DX lens but as long as the camera is in DX mode it will work just fine. It would probably work in FX mode but would cause heavy vignetting in the corners.

Yes it's a prime lens and if you use it on a dx camera you'll have to back up a bit not so much on fx cameras of course out doors ,distance would be less of a issue. Unless you need 1.4 there are better choices out there like a 14-24 or 16-35.

This lens doesn't have internal focus motor, nor your camera body, so you wont get autofocus with this lens version. You need the version DX II http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007ORX8ME/ref=cm_sw_su_dp

Hi, No, this lens only works on DX Nikon , for FX you will have to buy full frame lens.

I don't know but I don't think that you can do anything but manually focus with these lens babies... they are not designed to autofocus so there is a bit of a learning and experimenting with them till you get the look that you want....each aperture ring gives you a slightly different look... so you have to know where to direct your focus.. and that has to be done manually....

You can't use autofocus. These adapters are basically designed so that you can use the lovely AI and AI-S manual Nikon lenses on the modern EOS bodies. You can use them in aperture priority mode, too (where you set the aperture, and the camera sets the rest). But the other program modes that rely on setting the aperture automatically won't work.

It's working fine with the autofocus mode on your lens, would also work with the manual focus but you would have to preset the focus on the lens.Michael

Yes you can use a DX lens in FX mode, but depending on the lens, you will have moderate to severe vignetting. There woould be no point use the 35mm DX in FX mode because you would have to crop your picture to the size of a DX shot, but the excellent Tokina 11-16mm lens works quite well at 16mm in FX mode.

You have to set the camera for "shoot without lens" and the focus mode MF. Use in A mode or manual exposure.

It all depends on what you want for focus. It works fine otherwise but for autofocus, it's very poor. Figure on manually focusing if you buy this adapter. Works fine for me but I don't use it with long lenses (because I never use long lenses)

iam using this lens with a GX 1 camera. i just did a test and shot a video and focused manually after setting it to manual focus with a button on the camera.it worked.

Unfortunately, there are a few incorrect answers here. the "D" lenses as in f/1.8D that the asker is asking about does not have a focus motor in the lens as an af-s lens would. you can use the lens with this camera but there is no focus motor in this camera or that lens therefore there would be no autofocus only manual focus.

AutoFocus was fine. Some circumstances, e.g., bird watching, require manual focus.

You have to use manual focus with all adapters. Well not all per say but the ones that have electronics for the autofocus cost alot. we are talking 300$

This lens is a DX format lens and it will only work on DX format cameras and it will only auto-focus if that camera has a focus drive motor. The D70 does NOT have a drive motor. The available 16mm is made for the FX format cameras, those are digital cameras that are the size of 35mm film cameras. It can also be used on a DX, but there will be a focal length 1.5 multiplier added, so it would act like a 24mm and will have a dramatically narrowed field of view at 107 degrees.
