Hello Hirak!
Congratulations on the purchase of a fine camera body. An FX lens should work fine with your DX sensor and I can not see any reason it for anything but the sharpest, brightest images. It is my personal belief that one should steer clear of the “crop lenses” designed for only the smaller senors. These lenses, while good, are limited in use to the crop (24mm in the DX case) sensor bodies. If you should ever decide to use a full frame sensor body, you would have to purchase lenses yet again. This is because the “crop lenses” sit further back in the camera body and could interfere with the larger mirror assembly on a full frame body. There is no problem in the reverse.
The only “issue” (not really a problem, just something to consider) using lenses designed for 35mm film is that you have too take the smaller sensor into account. Your focal length of the lens is multiplied by the corp factor (1.5 for the DX) and so the 70mm on the bottom actually equates to 105mm. On the top end, 450mm. This is great for shooting telephoto and an lot of folks use crop sensor bodies precisely because of this.
As for quality, get the best lens you can afford that will fit the widest range of Nikon bodies. Your lenses will be with you for decades, while the camera system’s body only several years on average. Your thought of going with FX lenses is a sound one for sure!
Thank you Mr.Matthew Matchura for you kind & valuavble comments.I have decided to buy that FX Lense (70-300mm).
