Okay so I have personally worked with Nikon's : - 17-35mm Pro F2.8 - 14-24mm Pro F2.8 Started first with the 17-35mm because its a tank, pro lens, and expectations were high. Was disappointed because especially at 17mm the lens was VERY soft overall and even slighty soft in the center.

Sharp; good colors; moderate/low vignetting; superlight for a ultra wide angle; Less that half of my "ex"- 17-35mm

Plastic yet durable feel

Este lente es ideal para sacar fotos de arquitectura, puedes obtener tomas muy abiertas aún estando muy cerca a los edificios

I love this little lens! It would have got 5 stars, but the first one supplied was faulty. Amazon returns policy, however, meant that a replacement was with me the next day, easier than going to my local camera shop! The lens is small, light and plenty sharp enough for me.

Nikon AF-S 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED Review – The Nikon AF-S 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED is a lightweight and very capable wide-angle Nikon zoom

Modest maximum aperture; Limited 2x zoom range; Fiddly lens hood

The AF-S Nikkor 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5G ED is an 'affordable' wide angle zoom lens that's compatible with Nikon's full-frame FX format DSLRs. Announced in January 2013, it's aimed at photographers who've bought lower-priced full-frame DSLRs like the D600, but equally works on cropped-frame DX format...

Good image quality in the DX image-circle; Weather sealing at the lens-mount; Quiet AF operation; Small package; Reasonably priced

Needs stopping down to f8 to produce good FX-corners; Barrel-distortions at 18mm hard to correct; Slow AF
