The Nikon Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8 G ED-IF AF-S DX - a perfect short zoom?

Date of Review:  Jul 22, 2007
The 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...

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...

Don't Leave Home without IT

Date of Review:  Oct 19, 2006
The 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 /...

Nikon 17mm - 55mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S DX Autofocus Zoom Lens for Digital SLR ...
Developed exclusively for use with Nikon DX Format digital SLR cameras, this lightweight, compact zoom lens is an excellent match for the new Nikon D2H digital SLR camera. The 17-55mm range exceeds 3x zoom to broaden wide angle to medium telephoto photographic possibilities, and the lens maintains fast f/2.8 aperture throughout to make it practical and easy to use. When mounted on any of the Nikon D2H, D1-series or D100 digital SLR cameras, the picture angle is the equivalent to 25.5 to 82.5mm on a 35mm [135] format camera. The range and image quality makes this the lens professionals and advanced enthusiasts will use most with Nikon DX Format digital SLR cameras for shooting portraits and close-ups, as well as nature studies. It also complements the AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED lens in Nikon's expanding DX Nikkor lens lineup. Nikon established yet stricter evaluation standards for the new lens, and it achieves greater picture resolution as a result. The newly developed optical system employed inc
