The 17-35 is fast, light and super versatile. A great all-rounder.
Lighter, shorter and with the same fast 2.8 aperture as the 24-70, this lens gives you a little extra angle of view which is great for working in close. I just sold my 24-70 to ugrade to this lens and am more than happy. Not bad considering the 24-70's legendary reputation.

Great Wide Angle Zoom
Use it as your primary lens. Also, consider 50mm f/1.4 or f1.8 as secondary lens as prime. This lens is a bit heavy, but as with all SLRs, you already knew you would be carrying a bulky camera.
Pros:
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Excellet in low light
- Fast / accurate auto-focus
- Good Manual Focus
- Nice Bokeh
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- a bit expensive
- Heavy

Love my new lens
I love this lense because I can get the whole picture. I use to try and back up but sometimes you can only back up so much then you are cropping things out of the pictures that you really want there. That wont happen any more with this lense.
Pros:
- Quick Focus
- Rugged
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction
- Wide Angle
Cons:
- Heavy

The perfect Lens for the wide angle nutter
This is a truly great lens, whisper quiet, fast focusing and you'll cut yourself on the results. Preferring the wide side of life this lens is rarely off of my D3 it just ticks all the boxes. Bright and with super Nikon build quality you can certainly buy this lens with total confidence.

good product
This lens has replaced my 18-70 DX lens (which is smaller and lighter) from my starter kit. This beast is quite big and heavy: have to search for a bigger photo bag. However, quality of image, focusing and build quality is excellent.
Pros:
- good product
Cons:
- nothing

Okay so I've never had the real money to actually buy it so each time I've rented the lens. Perhaps the fact that it was a rental could have effected the outcome of my images, but at this point, lets assume that I had actually bought it.
Pros:
- Produces good image quality, Contrary to what other people believe, I think the weight is really nice
- Gives my camera a center of mass and balance
Cons:
- Terrible auto focus
- I don't know what 17-35 you're using because this one's auto focus is horrendous

As a Nikon user, when Canon was producing full frame digital cameras and Nikon was spouting the advantages the APS sensor as a reason for not producing a full frame camera, you knew the full frame was going to come. SO, I didn't want to buy a lens that would be limited to the DX format.
Pros:
- great zoom range
- build quality
- fast
Cons:
- soft corners
- soft corners
- distortion
