Why buy dx lenses?

Photography is easy when you don’t know how, but very difficult when you do.

I was wondering why it seemed so simple in my earlier endeavors.

After reading all the responses that I received.I've concluded that my original thoughts were correct. It is the size of the sensor in the camera that is relevant to the angle of view It is not the DX/FX designation on the lens. (I guess that means that size really does matter.) Also, I was surprised to see that there are many photographers in this forum who don't seem to understand the difference between Focal Length and ANGLE OF VIEW or the effect of each. Thanks again and I hope I didn't ruffle anyone's feathers.

Thank, You to ALL who took the time to answer. Some gave the answer that I myself thought was correct but was not sure of until I got it from you more experienced than I, photographers. Special thanks to you. Now I know for sure that the sensor size is the determining factor on the ANGLE OF VIEW and that the DX/FX designation on the lens is of no consequence in this particular situation. To the rest who answered, you mostly confused me more than I was. I thought my question was clear but it might have been confusing to you because of my wording. If that is the case, I apologize. As someone said it gives me a headache Please excuse me now, I have to go get some aspirin and take a nap

Please correct me if I'm wrong. My understanding is that if I mount a 100 mm DX lens on my DX camera (D7200) it will give me an angle of view equal to that of a 150mm lens because of the 1.5 crop factor. My question is this. If I now mount a 100mm FX lens on the same DX camera, will I still get a 150mm angle of view? In other words, does the dx/fx designation on a lens make a difference in the angle of view or is it just the size of the sensor that controls this. I'm sorry if this has already been answered but I couldn't find it in the search. Thank you in advance of your answer/answers

In keeping with the season and because I have been given so much I am offering this tripod free to any beginner who can't afford one. I was there once. You can see all this inexpensive tripod is capable of by Googling Polaroid 72 tripod. It will only cost the shipping and I will ship as economically as possible. It's not much but it might help someone without and further interest in the art of photography. If interested please PM me with your zip and I will let you know the shipping cost.
