Was this sense made for a specific sensor size? If I use it on a full-frame camera (FX), will there be vignetting like you see when dx lenses are used

I have it for my dx frame and don't see any vignetting. I would imagine it would do that in you fx frame. But honesty its a fun 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.

Hi - Just double-checked a couple of OM lenses on my Sony a7r using this adapter. I want to make sure I'm completely understanding the question: if you're asking whether there will be any vignetting of the image, the answer is no (except to the extent that a specific lens shows some light falloff at the edges, but that's not an adapter issue, and you'd have the same phenomenon on an OM film body). If the question is whether or not the image will be cropped (using the term to refer to the so-called "crop factor" associated with smaller-than-24x36 sensors): again, the answer's no. OM lenses are full-frame lenses, the a7 is a full-frame body - so no cropping of the image. Hope that's helpful! Hi - Just double-checked a couple of OM lenses on my Sony a7r using this adapter.

Absolutely Alfred; you will even get less vignetting than with an FX size sensor camera! Take into consideration that due to the crop factor of your camera, the focal distance achieved with a D200 will be 450mm (1.5 times 300mm). Good luck..

Based on the fact that it is meant for a crop sensor (DX format), there would be vignetting at wide angles, then less noticeable at 50mm. The extent of vignetting would have to be viewed personally, but it should be significant at 17mm.

Though this lens will cover the imaging sensor of a full-frame DSLR, it is better optimized for use with DSLRs containing smaller APS-C format sensors. As such you might notice softer focus and some light fall-off towards the edges of the frame when using a full-frame DSLR. If you do plan on using this lens with a full-frame DSLR we recommend you set the lens no wider (faster) than f/8 for optimum image quality.

No, this is designed for crop-sensor bodies. You can use it on full frame, but the wide angle will get heavy vignetting.

I know that it is for a dx instead of full frame and you may get some vignetting but that is not always true. I would google 11-16 full frame vignetting to see what others have experienced. luke

This will work on both FX and DX, but will give you a circular image in the center of the frame on FX (full frame) cameras instead of the rectangular image that fills the frame on DX sensor cameras.

I did not notice any vignetting, but I was using the 14mm f/2.8L II version, which supposedly eliminates that, espically when stopped down to 5.6 - 8.0 range. What I DID find was an absolute unacceptable sharpness falloff about 1/4 from the edge. I thought for a while that I was shipped the original 14mm, because it was notorious for that. Alas, it was the II version and Amazon accepted it back, no questions asked. I am considering ordering another, because there *is* the occasional lemon. I may have just gotten one.

It all depends whether or not you want to have a DX (APS-C size) or FX (classic 35 mm size) format sensor. The DX sensor has a 1.5X crop factor that will give your lenses a field of view that is 1.5X smaller than the same lens on a FX format camera. This can be an advantage if you shoot wildlife or sports, as it gets you "closer" with any given tele lens. However, getting a wide-angle lens is more challenging in the DX format, although there are still good choices. Both formats make great images. The DX bodies are less expensive, the FX sensors are inherently less noisy and theoretically capable of higher quality. You can use any Nikon DX or FX lens on a DX body. You cannot use DX lenses on an FX body without image cropping. I have a D7100, mainly because I started out with a D100 back when all DSLRs were DX format, and I built my lens collection around the DX sensor size. You won't be disappointed in either body--they are both pro-level cameras with a full suite of controls.

savy7 answered the question correctly.60mm on a DX camera so not wide angle

I feel that vignetting along the edges will be more dependent on the focal length of your lens. I have not had any vignetting issues when using focal lengths over 5omm.

The connection on the Nikon cameras are all the same. On a full frame camera, there could be some vignetting. .

I didn't know that any lens was designed for a particular kind of sensor.The size of your sensor will determine the results of course.I've been using it on my T3i and it looks fabulous.

Actually, Nikon FX cameras have a setting for lens type which can automatically select the area of the sensor for each lens type -- full for FX and partial for DX. Overriding the setting will result in vignetting with a DX lens on a FX body. The 80-400 zoom on a DX body will have an equivalent focal-length range of 120-600 mm.

No. Some people have used it on FX cameras as wide as about 17mm with what they consider to be acceptable vignetting (vignetting gets worse as the field of view gets wider.) Nonetheless, it is a DX lens.
