I think Nikon views its DX line as its soccer mom cameras and has a limited selection of primes. They do offer a 10.5mm fisheye, a 35mm, and 40mm and 85mm macros.
Small sensors and cropped sensors are the same. Don't quite understand your statement.Nikon doesn't make that many primes for DX nor even good zoom for DX. That's why it's a cropped sensor camera. Fuji, Olympus aren't cropped sensor cameras. They simply have small sensors.
In the mean time you can buy FX lenses and use them on a DX camera.Yea I guess. It pisses me off! I think it’s more sensible for me to just move up to FX to not have to deal with all this bull shit crop sensor annoyance and lack of options.
We here at APUG and we do know that cameras come in different format from the tiny disc camera to 8x10 and larger. Nobody ever called a camera a crop because they all come with lens designed for their format. The crop come about when Nikon (and Canon) decided to make DSLR's that use lenses designed for the 35mm format but yet the sensors are smaller thus they became cropped sensor camera. Even if today Nikon made a number of lenses for the DX format but the lens mount and lens flange distance were the same one that were used for the 35mm format. Fuji and Olympus were designed with their own lenses that cover the format and just enough for the format. There is no extra coverage to crop.Small sensors and cropped sensors are the same.

A crop sensor refers to a sensor smaller than 24x36. The rest is fiction.We here at APUG and we do know that cameras come in different format from the tiny disc camera to 8x10 and larger.

They call them medium format sensors though they are not as large as traditional medium format film formats (6x4.5, 6x6, 6x7, 6x9).So what do you call a sensor that is bigger than 24x36mm?
And so in fact they a crop also. Yet they are larger than 24x36 but not as large as the image circle for their lens system.They call them medium format sensors though they are not as large as traditional medium format film formats (6x4.5, 6x6, 6x7, 6x9).
No, they are not crop sensors. They are what they are, and the marketing people call them medium format. The lens systems are designed for whatever the medium format sensor size actually is. "Crop sensor" is not a technical term. It is just vernacular for a sensor that is smaller than 24x36. You are trying to make too much of it.And so in fact they a crop also. Yet they are larger than 24x36 but not as large as the image circle for their lens system.
Nikon makes a 35mm and 40mm macro prime lens.
For wider than 35mm, why not look at the 10-20mm, 10-24mm or 12-24mm zoom lenses?
I have looked into the 10-
I have. These seem to be my best options. I went and looked at some Fuji's today at my local camera store, and they simply have exactly what I want. They have the primes, they are fast, they are build really solid, they are small. The issue with Fuji is that they aren't cheap, although, what is cheap in photography?
True. I've taken full advantage of that!Used film equipment that is in great operating condition.
I recently ended up with a D7100 and some zoom lenses. I’ve only ever used prime lenses and tried the zooms but i just don’t like them. I’d like a long zoom for wildlife, but otherwise, I want 2 or 3 primes. For Nikon, there is NO wide angle dx prime. I didn’t know this until last week and I’m somewhat dumbfounded by this. Pentax has all these primes, Fuji and Olympus primes galore, and Nikon has plenty (some very expensive) FX primes, but no dx prime. Kinda makes me want to just sell the whole kit and move to another brand.

I agree with this. Canikon says 'Hey! you can use ALL your lenses with these sensors."
I just want a kit 50 1.8 equivalent.
