Thanks, Jim. Great explanation, and I think the graphics will help folks understand the differences between DX and FX.
My hope had been to simply make people aware that not all of the lenses that were under discussion could be compared like apples to apples. Folks who are going to invest hundreds of dollars in Nikon equipment need to have a good understanding of their different camera system components and the various compatibility issues. I also recommend that such folks spend some time with their camera manuals. If the intent is to buy at $1000 body and an $800 lens, then just put the mode selector on "P", they should probably just buy a much cheaper point and shoot camera and save some loot.
