I cannot find this answer to save my life. but is this lens although fx, compatible with a dx say my d5300?

Yes it will mount on FX and DX Nikon cameras. But for the smaller d5300, maybe the Nikon 35 1.8 dx is a better lens.
1260900
Yes. It is completely compatible on DX cameras such as your D5300. It is a very sharp but heavy lens.
1260901
Yes it is ... But you will have a crop factor of 1.5 or 1.6 I believe ... Instead of having a 35 mm it will be as viewing through a 52.5 mm lens
1260902
Yes but I believe you are paying a premium price to put an fx lens on a dx body. That is an opinion not presented as fact.

I went to the Nikon web page, looked up the D5300, and click on the "Compatibility" page. "This camera supports autofocus with AF-S and AF-I CPU lenses only. AF-S lenses have names beginning with AF-S, AF-I lenses names beginning with AF-I. Autofocus is not supported with other autofocus (AF) lenses." It appears that the lens works only in manual focus mode. With a fisheye, the depth of field is so great that shouldn't be an issue. I shoot my fisheye (m43 camera and lens) at f8 and focused slightly short of infinity. Everything from a couple feet to infinity is sharp.

This is a great lens. it will work on the D5100, but the Nikon 18-200 DX-VR is far more versatile on DX cameras, according to KenRockwell.com. This lens is ideal, used on FX (Full Frame) cameras. Very sharp & light weight, however, it is all plastic, including the lens mount, and should be handled carefully, (do not pick up the camera by the lens). If you have an opportunity to purchase one, I would highly recommend it.

It will work, this lens is a full frame lens, so it will work on both dx & fx bodies

you can use DX lenses on a FX camera in DX crop mode, but it's not the optimal solution, since you dont get the benefit of full resolution. in my opinion, you are much better off buying a full frame lens such as the nikon or tamron 24-70/2.8 lenses. yes i know they are expensive but that's what you bought into when you bought a $3000 camera. expecting to use a $500 lens on it with full functionality is just not realistic.

It will work, but the results wouldn't be optimal. This is a DX lens and you have an FX camera. The FX is a larger sensor than the DX so you will not make full use of the larger sensor. So if you already own the lens use it. If you are thinking of buying this lens, spend some more and take full advantage of your FX sensor (AKA frame).

This should work fine. Autofocus will not work; however manual focus will. Apart from autofocus all other functions should be goof.Note that there are 2 Nikon 35mm 1.8 lenses. The FX version will fill the Canon 5d Mark III frame; however the DX version will only cover the centre of the Canon sensor.

YES...according to Nikon: Compatible Format(s) FX DX FX in DX Crop Mode 35mm Film

What the manual says--DX lenses are for use only with DX-format digital single-lens reflex cameras such as the D7000 or D3000 series. I have a D5200 and it works on it.

Nikon FX lenses on a DX body will have a 1.5 multiplier.So a 50mm FX lens on a DX body will translate to a 75mm lens.You dont want to use a DX lens on a FX body as the lens will crop the image area of the sensor.

It work on any Nikon mount on FX and DX format. The dx format is a crop sensor and Fx format is full sensor. The Dx has 1.6x crop factor. It mean the focal length of this lens x 1.6.

Hi, Lee,I have not tried any DX lens yet. I believe it will be a little bit sharper since it's a FX sensor, despite the DX mode when you have a DX lens, you will be able to use it in FX mode even with a DX lens.As far as the vignetting, Nikon has the "Distortion Control" for many lenses, it should work for your Sigma lens as well, I guess, but not confirmed.

I'm not familiar with that lens. However, I did a quick search on that lens and it appears to work with Nikon F (DX) lens mounts, which the D5300 supports. So the quick answer is: I think so. But if I were you, I'd do further research to confirm.

Not unusual that a this type of thing is in error, happens rather frequently on Amazon and other sites. I don't use Nikon, I use a Pentax K-5 IIs so I'm not that familiar with Nikon. I did check the Tamron site and there is a mount for Nikon so this will fit your camera. Even if you use the FX version of this lens it will still work. I remember reading somewhere that a DX lens can be used on a FX body and the sensor can be cropped for it, kind of neat. Anyway, if you choose to buy this lens, I have no doubt you will love it because it's a highly rated lens for Pentax and many others. I have one and it's unbelievably sharp with excellent contrast ( at least on my camera with my user settings), a limiter and, I think, a very good manual focus ring that has excellent resistance, a clutch would be better, but as is it's very good. Makes an excellent short telephoto at a 1.5 crop. Anyway, I hope this helps and if you choose to buy it you will not be disappointed.

This lens will work on a D5300, however you will have to focus manually. It will only auto focus on cameras with built in focus motors.

This is a full frame (FX) lens. Of course it can also be used on DX if you like, where the crop factor makes it equivalent to 120-600mm.
