Do you use to the aperture ring on the D lenses, or a s it done through the camera? I have a D610. I want to save money by getting the d series lenses. My other question is should I only use my camera switch on manual and only use manual on the D lens series?

question
What is the purpose of the full/limit switch please?
Due to the nature of this lens (macro with close up focus ability) the overall focusing range is greater than many other conventional lenses, and in order to save on A) battery power, B) focusing experience Nikon has essentially divided the focusing range into two parts, and when you select the limit aspect you are then restricting the focusing range to either 1) the shorter macro measurements or 2) the normal to infinity range. This saves on the battery power from having the camera focus through the entire range, and cuts down on the camera's hunting to come into focus so you come into focus quicker.

question
what is that limit/full means?
The FULL/LIMIT switch allows you to limit the range of focus of the lens to speed up autofocus performance based on your current usage needs. Due to the lens having a wide focus range from a minimum focus distance of 8.66 inches to a far focus distance of infinity, using the entire focus range can sometimes cause the lens to hunt-and-peck when trying to acquire a focus subject. When using the lens as a standard lens, when the switch on the lens is placed in the LIMIT position, you may limit close focus to 1 foot; as such, it would not enter the macro focus range. Conversely, when using the lens as a macro lens and the switch is in the LIMIT position, you may limit the far focus to 10 inches so it will only utilize the macro focus range. When the switch is set to FULL, you would be able to use the full range of focus.

question
Is it a full-frame lens for my D800-Nikon
The Nikon AF 60mm f/2.8D lens is a full frame lens, and will be compatible with the D800. For the most part, if a lens doesn't say DX in the name then it is a FX lens, regardless if it states FX or not.

Re compatible with D7100 question - what do you ...
Re compatible with D7100 question - what do you ean by locking aperture to 32? You can't use other apertures with it on the 7100? I have a 7200.
Yes, it is compatible with your camera. You will have access to all apertures. Locking the aperture for cameras like yours is so you can adjust the aperture through the camera body. Digital cameras must do this, older film cameras don't, they require the use of the aperture ring to adjust exposure.
