Nikon - 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED AF Zoom Lens .The AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED significantly expands the range of DX-Nikkor lenses and is expected to become the standard lens for Nikon digital SLR camera users. By virtue of being DX-Nikkor, designed exclusively for DX-format image sensors in Nikons digital SLR cameras, this new lens is not only compact and light-weight, but also offers outstanding edge-to-edge sharpness and image quality.The Nikons first constant f/2.8 3.2x zoom lens developed exclusively for use with Nikon DX Format.3.2x zoom covers from a wide angle of 79-degrees to a narrow angle of 28-degrees 50 (equivalent to 25.5mm to 85.5mm for 35mm format) and is ideal for architecture, landscape, groups shots and portraits.DX design enables a combination of wider angle-of-view with optical characteristics that are optimized for Nikon digital SLR camera sensors.Nikon DX design produces a smaller image circle (the size of the image that is projected by the lens on to the sensor) enabling small

The Nikon Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8 G ED-IF AF-S DX - a perfect short zoom? - by jvandegr
Pros: Sharp throughout focal and aperture range, professional build quality, fast and accurate focus.
Cons: Slightly prone to flare, field curvature, and aberration. Heavy, large, expensive. Not sharper than 18-70mm.
Bottom Line: Recommended for professional use when build quality and reliability are critical. Otherwise, the 18-70mm AF-S offers more for much less.
Review: Introduction For many years, I have only used a zoom lens for the 70-200mm focal range. All of my wide angle and normal focal length work has been done with primes (fixed focal length lenses). For most of the history of photography, primes... (more)
"pro" digital zoom?? - by uniq
Pros: amazing construction quality, 77mm filters, fixed F/2.8 aperture
Cons: performance is totally average, flares easily, distortion is average.. low price/performance ratio
Bottom Line: amazing construction but average performance, average distortion and noticeable flaring. I expect more from a lens in this price range.
Review: Anybody who reads my reviews will know that I am an absolute stickler for construction quality ESPECIALLY on equipment that is at the top-tier price levels. It seems that Nikon paid attention to its customers and finally made a DX lens that has the same... (more)
The best midrange zoom for digital - by mimoid
Pros: Fast, constant aperture, build quality, excellent sharpness and image quality
Cons: Very expensive
Bottom Line: If you can afford it, buy it. You will not be disappointed.
Review: Introduction The Nikon 17-55 DX is Nikon's flagship midrange digital zoom lens. The "DX" denomination means that the lens is optimized for the small sized sensors of Nikon digital cameras and is therefore not quite compatible with full-frame... (more)
Don't Leave Home without IT - by 3rdpower
Pros: Best zoom for DSLR in the range
AWESOME handling
Superb sharpness, contrast, and color
AWESOME handling
Superb sharpness, contrast, and color
Cons: Expensive for the difference between 18-55 and 18-70
Bottom Line: This is an easy recommendation if you are trying to replace a bag load of primes or are simply looking for a great wide zoom. Look no further!
Review: After battling over which lens I was going to go with 17-55 or 17-35 I decided to go with the 17-55mm and have not looked back. With more zoom (35-55) this unit really shines. Most 17-35 owners dislike this lens because it does not shine with film /... (more)
Always mounted on my D200! - by gatn
Pros: Sharpness - Quality just the BEST! - Used in 95% of all my shootings
Cons: Little heavy may be - but thats about it when it comes to Cons..
Review: Image qualities - sharpness - speed - all in all - 100% I am not able to find a better lens with this focal dimensions. The focus speed is great! With the 1:2,8G I am able to take indoor pictures using ISO 400 and the images are... (more)
