What lenses are compatible with my Nikon F700 FX camera?
I just upgraded from a Nikon D80 to a Nikon D700. When I put my Nikon AF-S Nikkor 18-70 1:3.5-4.5G ED DX lense on the camera body and look through the view finder the view finder displays a dark hallow around the lense.
It appears as if the lense can't show the size view that the camera is capable of. I took a picture and the photo has this dark circle surrounding entire photo as is I too the picture laid it on a table and then looked at it through and pipe. The image is circular.
Is there a setting on the camera to fix this? Is it possible to see the full image through the view finder?
You will have this problem with any DX lens, which are designed for the APS-C sensor on your D80, not the full size sensor on you D700.
Look in your manual for how to use a DX lens on your full frame camera. I believe it is called "DX crop mode" or something similar.
Being an FX camera, it has a sensor larger than a APS-C camera such as your old D80. This means that DX lenses such as the 18-70mm lens designed for small sensor cameras are no longer compatible with FX cameras because they were designed for a smaller format.
I suggest you search up FX lenses to get the lenses that are compatible with your D700. All manual focus lenses made by Nikon would also work, as long as they are Ai and newer.
