However, since it's sensor is a cropped 35mm size, your effective focal length will be multiplied by 1.5x. So while the Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G ED N is an absolutely fantastic wide-angle lens, on your DX camera it would be a not-so-wide angle lens. A 14mm FX (35mm full frame) wide-angle would equate to a DX lens of ~9mm. Actually Joseph, you can put any FX lens on your DX-sized D90 dSLR.

The biggest question is do you plan on upgrading you D200 eventually to a full frame sensor body like the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001BTCSI6?ie=UTF8&tag=dd05-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B001BTCSI6" rel="nofollow">Nikon D700</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=dd05-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B001BTCSI6" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />? If you do plan on moving up to a 35mm sensor size, then you should be buying 35mm glass now for later. If you want to stick the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BY52NK?ie=UTF8&tag=dd05-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000BY52NK" rel="nofollow">D200</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=dd05-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B000BY52NK" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> / <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VJX7DW?ie=UTF8&tag=dd05-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000VJX7DW" rel="nofollow">D300</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=dd05-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B000VJX7DW" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />camera, then I would say it's probably not the right choice for you. Since those cameras use the smaller APS sized sensor, your <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VDCTCI?ie=UTF8&tag=dd05-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000VDCTCI" rel="nofollow">Nikon 14-24mm Wide Angle Lens</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=dd05-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B000VDCTCI" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> will only get you as wide as an equivalent 21mm. A much better choice for the <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BY52NK?ie=UTF8&tag=dd05-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000BY52NK" rel="nofollow">Nikon D200</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=dd05-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B000BY52NK" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000VJX7DW?ie=UTF8&tag=dd05-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000VJX7DW" rel="nofollow">D300</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=dd05-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B000VJX7DW" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />camera would be Nikon's own <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000092M1T?ie=UTF8&tag=dd05-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B000092M1T" rel="nofollow">12-24mm f/4G ED IF DX Nikkor</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=dd05-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B000092M1T" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0007U00XK?ie=UTF8&tag=dd05-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0007U00XK" rel="nofollow">Sigma's 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM Lens for Nikon</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=dd05-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B0007U00XK" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> or even <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00099C2M6?ie=UTF8&tag=dd05-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00099C2M6" rel="nofollow">Tokina's excellent AT-XAF124DXN 12-24mm Wide-Angle Lens for Nikon</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=dd05-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00099C2M6" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" />.

The biggest question is do you plan on upgrading you D200 eventually to a full frame sensor body like the Nikon D700? If you do plan on moving up to a 35mm sensor size, then you should be buying 35mm glass now for later. If you want to stick the D200 / D300camera, then I would say it’s probably not the right choice for you. Since those cameras use the smaller APS sized sensor, your Nikon 14-24mm Wide Angle Lens will only get you as wide as an equivalent 21mm.

A much better choice for the Nikon D200 and D300camera would be Nikon’s own 12-24mm f/4G ED IF DX Nikkor, Sigma’s 10-20mm f/4-5.6 EX DC HSM Lens for Nikon or even Tokina’s excellent AT-XAF124DXN 12-24mm Wide-Angle Lens for Nikon. But if you really want the fast f/2.8 aperture, then you only choice right now is the Tokina 11-16mm f/2.8 AT-X 116 Pro DX Lens.
