That's what DX means, for smaller sensors only. The reduced coverage area 
should allow less expensive lenses, but I don't know if that's always true.

I remember some predictions a few years ago from big brains that in the 
future (That's now today) all lenses would be DX, as all sensors would be 
less than full frame.
