List of FX lenses for Nikon F mount
Regarding Nikon lenses, I first talked about DX lenses from Nikon, the ones suited to the APS-C DSLR format of the brand (F mount). I am continuing the work done so far on this blog and on this section of the camera lenses listings by talking to you here about Nikon FX lenses, that is to say lenses dedicated and built for Nikon full frame DSLR cameras. Of course, all lenses on this page fit on any Nikon APS-C cameras.
As a historical reminder, the FX and DX formats are part of the Nikon F-mount, first introduced in the Nikon F camera, in 1959. If you own a full frame camera, it would be better to choose lenses from this page. If you have a Nikon APS-C camera, nothing will prevent you (as mentioned above) to use FX lenses on a DX camera. They will however be generally more expensive, heavier and bigger. Be careful not to mix everything up and not to believe everything you read. A focal length never changes, it is the angle of view given by the format of the different sensors (DX and FX) which will result in a different effective focal length. A 50mm lens (DX or FX) mounted on a DX camera will always give an equivalent focal length of a 75mm on full format (50mm x 1.5 crop factor), while a 50mm FX lens mounted on an FX camera will simply give a 50mm.
By the way, if you are still hesitating about which brand to choose for your future equipment, you can check out our page listing all Canon EF lenses, designed for Canon full frame cameras.

Nikon FX lenses for full frame
Nikon offers a very large number of lenses for the FX mount. The choice is wider than for DX format (APS-C) lenses. As always, I’ve broken down the lenses for full frame Nikon DSLR cameras as follows:
- Wide-angle (WA) and ultra-wide-angle (UWA) lenses: focal lengths under 20mm (UWA) and from 20mm to 35mm (WA),
- Standard focal length lenses: for focal lengths from 35mm to 75mm,
- Telephoto lenses: for focal lengths beyond 75mm,
- Macro lenses: for macro photography.
Nikon FX wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle lenses
For all the very wide views lovers, whether it’s landscape photography, architecture or cool fisheye effects, Nikon offers a great range of wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle lenses. For your information, the lenses rated “AF-S” are the newest ones, compared to the lenses rated “AF”.

You will find there all the lenses mentioned in the table above more in detail, as well as other alternatives.
Nikon FX standard lenses

Nikon FX telephoto lenses
For Nikon full frame cameras (FX), there is also a very large number of telephoto lenses. There are the classic 70-200mm (f/2.8, or f/4 depending on your budget and your needs), the fixed focal lengths like 85mm, 105mm, 135mm or 200mm, and finally some super telephoto lenses like 200-400mm, 200-500mm as well as a whole series of very long fixed focal lengths, almost unaffordable (like the 500, 600 and 800mm).
Nikon FX macro lenses
I have only listed here the recent macro lenses from Nikon. There are older ones which are hard to find now, like the Nikon AF 200mm F/4D IF-ED Micro or the Nikon AF 60mm F/2.8D Micro.

Third party lenses for Nikon FX cameras (full frame)
The Nikon F mount being very old, numerous brands decided to start building lenses dedicated to the full frame cameras of the brand. There are some brands offering lenses with autofocus like Sigma, Tamron or Tokina, and many other only offering manual focus lenses. This point is specified in the tables below.
Sigma lenses for Nikon FX
Sigma is one of the brands offering a lot of lenses dedicated to Nikon’s FX cameras. I voluntarily divided all the lenses of the brand in three categories: wide-angles, standard focal lengths and telephoto lenses. Please note that I have sorted all these lenses out in order to only propose here the “most recent” ones. The “Art” range is the top of the range (the most recent) from Sigma. As a reminder, at Sigma, the acronym “OS” means that the lens is stabilized. The acronym “DG” reminds us that the lens is dedicated to full format DSLR cameras (not to be confused with the acronym “DG DN”, which is reserved for full frame mirrorless cameras).
Sigma wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle lenses
Here are all the Sigma wide-angle and ultra-wide-angle lenses for Nikon FX cameras. Be careful and look at it carefully, because a majority of these lenses do not allow to use traditional screw filters.

Zeiss lenses for Nikon FX
Zeiss is one of the most famous brands offering a set of lenses for the FX mount of Nikon. Note that all these lenses are manual focus and do not have stabilization. The “ZF.2” sign indicates that the lens is intended for Nikon cameras. Unless I am mistaken, Zeiss only offers fixed focal lengths.
