Good to know

This lens was designed for an APS-C sensor. On a full-frame camera it uses the middle of the sensor, so check that the crop mode works in the shooting mode you plan to use.

  2. Nikon guide to NIKKOR lens typesAF-S and AF-P lenses contain autofocus motors. Older AF NIKKOR lenses depend on a camera autofocus motor; AF-P compatibility varies on older DSLR bodies.
  3. Nikon Mount Adapter FTZ II: compatibility tableFTZ II supports autofocus with listed AF-S G/E/D, AF-P G/E and AF-I D lenses. Screw-drive AF G/D lenses retain manual focus and exposure metering, not autofocus.
  4. Nikon Z8 manual: image area and cropA DX lens locks the full-frame Z8 to the DX image area. The resulting field of view uses an approximately 1.5x crop factor.
  5. Nikon D3500 manual: compatible lensesD3500 autofocus supports AF-P and AF-S G/E lenses only. Type D lenses require manual exposure, manual aperture and manual focus; metering and i-TTL are unavailable.
  6. Nikon D850 manual: image area and Auto DX cropAuto DX crop can be enabled or disabled. DX capture gives approximately 1.5× field of view; wider image areas with a DX lens can show dark edges.
