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...

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 /...
