Nikon NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4-5.6 Zoom Lens?
Posted by admin | Under Nikon D90 DX Monday Aug 17, 2009I own an Nikon D60…and I’m about to get the D90…I was wondering if this lens below would work on both cameras?
Nikon NIKKOR 55-200mm f/4-5.6 Zoom Lens
Its says:
Compatibility: This lens is designed exclusively for Nikon DX format SLR cameras.
Yes. All the D## (D40, D80, D90, etc) series cameras, as well as the D100-300,D1, and D2 are in fact DX format SLRs.
BTW, DX just basically means that the sensor is about half the size of a normal 35mm film negative, and lenses built for it can only cover that area. Technically they can work on most Nikon SLRs. But on bodies with film or bigger sensors (eg D700, D3), the corners will be left dark.

Yes, the lens will work fine on a D90. But is buying a D90 worth it when you own a perfectly good D60? Personally, I would save my money to buy my next lens, if I were you. Lenses are far more important to getting good pictures than the camera is. A good lens will last you for decades while new cameras are obsolete in 2 years.
