This AF-S DX NIKKOR 35mm f/1.8G Lens (Product 2183) is compatible with the D800 but it is a DX format lenses and therefore optimized for use on DSLRs with the smaller DX sensor. A DX lens does not transmit enough light to fill the entire FX sensor in the D800 and the D800 will switch over to DX Crop Mode when a DX lens is attached. In DX crop mode the D800’s largest available Image Size is reduced to 4,800 x 3,200 (approx. 15.3MP). A 35mm FX lens, like the AF-S NIKKOR 35mm f/1.4G Lens (Product 2198), is better suited for the D800's high resolution FX sensor. For an FX format lens in a comparable price range consider the AF-S NIKKOR 50mm f/1.8G Standard Lens (Product 2199).
