A lens actually creates a circular image (which falls off considerably towards the perimeter) so we only arrange things so that we use the good part of the image. A DX lens covers a much smaller circle than one designed to cover a Full-sizes frame (which you have on a D700). If you use a DX lens you need to use it on a a DX-sized frame. Perhaps the D700 sets that automatically if you insert a DX lens?
