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...

The best midrange zoom for digital

Date of Review:  Aug 9, 2006
The 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...

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 /...

"pro" digital zoom??

Date of Review:  Mar 27, 2006
The 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...

Always mounted on my D200!

Date of Review:  Jan 1, 2008
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 great.
