I'm looking to get a new lens and I want a nice standard zoom lens that shoots full frame. "Full frame" is pretty much a technical term for a bit bigger. You need a camera that can shoot full frame in order to use a full frame lens to its fullest. That's not really important though, the thing is, I didn't really know how to tell a full frame lens from a regular lens when I saw them online or at a store. Some stores label this sort of thing, or at least someone knows, but most of the time it's up to me.

I thought that as a guy who gets paid to take pictures, I should know this kind of thing. I'm not really a techincal guy when it comes to equipment compared to many photographers I know. I figured the best way to figure this out was to send a letter to Nikon, and ask them. That way my tech savvy friends wouldn't mock me for not knowing already. Below is the responce I got:

"Please click the link below, and select: Narrow by> Lens Format> FX (full frame)
http://www.nikonusa.com/en/Nikon-Products/Camera-Lenses/All-Lenses/index.page

If a lens name has DX printed on it; it's a DX lens. and if it doesn't say FX or DX it's a FX lens.

The camera body is the contrary: If a camera body has the FX icon printed on it; it's a FX camera and if it doesn't say FX or DX it's a DX camera.

Sincerely,

Nikon Tech Support"

I no longer feel like an idiot for not knowing. While the answer is helpful, and I know what to look for, I don't think they could have made it more convoluted.
