APS-C is simply a reference to the camera's sensor size. The D5000, as well as the current D5500, along with the D3000 series and D7000 series are all APS-C, or cropped sensor cameras. All of the lenses I mentioned are designed for these cameras. They are also called DX cameras. The lenses are not intended for use in a 'full frame', or FX camera. They will work, but generally only in 'cropped mode'. So, short answer, yes these lenses will all work just fine on a D5000.
Excellent, I learned something new today. It's a good day :) Thanks much for the response!
