A DX lens covers a much smaller circle than one designed to cover a Full-sizes frame (which you have on a D700). If you use a DX lens you need to use it on a a DX-sized frame.
Perhaps the D700 sets that automatically if you insert a DX lens?

I don't possess any DX lenses but the best way to find out would be to take some test shots and see what you get
Donald, was it you that mentioned a few weeks ago about a 1 terabyte hard drive you found---I think at Target---for less than $100.
Was it Target?
What was the price?
Was that a special sale do you know?
What brand?
Thanks. Sorry for the hijacking of the thread.
Did you get it at Target, Donald?
You can sort from low to high or select a price bracket.
I tend to do this before any purchase to avoid kicking myself later. ;)
