the D200 is not a full frame sensor? does that mean I can only use DX lenses
pardon me for being stupid
There are FX lenses and DX lenses. They all fit the D200.
The difference is that a DX lens have been adjusted so that it matches the smaller DX sensor and gives the correct field of view.
If you put an FX lens on a DX body you get a 1.5x multiplication of the focal length because it is matched to a larger sensor, not the smaller DX sensor.
So for example a 35-100 DX lens would give you a 'true' 35-100 view.
But an FX 35-100 would give the field of view of 52-150mm. So using FX lenses you gain in telephotos reach but struggle at the wide end.
