Introduction

Lenses bearing this designation have been designed specifically for Nikon's current line of digital SLRs. As these cameras use a 25x15.5mm sensor these lenses can project a smaller image circle than lenses designed for traditional 36x24mm film. While these lenses will mount on full-frame cameras, there may be significant vignetting at certain focal lengths.
