AF-S DX 17-55 mm f/2.8G IF-ED
Originally posted 2009-03-23 on Optyczne.pl Nikkor AF-S DX 17-55 mm f/2.8G IF-ED is a very interesting lens from my point of view and for more than one reason. It found its way to our editorial office over two years ago with the first Nikon D200 camera.
Cons:
- chromatic aberration a bit too visible
- especially for f/2.8
- big size and weight

A great D40/D60 kit lens upgrade!
Now I know what you're thinking... "a $1400 lens for a D40/D60!!" I bought my D40 back about a year ago and used the 18-55 kit lens for about 6 months. I decided to upgrade to the 18-55 VR kit lens that comes with the D60, as I did a lot of nightlife photography w/ motion involved, so this helped...
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Quick Focus
- Rugged
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Heavy

AWESOME LENS!!!
This lens is great. I use the lens 95% of the time. The quick sharp focus is fantastic and can soak up so much light for low light shots. It is a tad heavy in comparison to some lenses I've had, however it's far better than those also. Well worth the price in my opinion.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Easily Interchangeable
- Quick Focus
- Rugged
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction
Cons:
- Kinda heavy

Worth Saving for....
I've drooled over this lens for a while now, read all the reviews reports etc, but was always out of reach. Finally was able to afford it and upgraded from my 18-70 f3:5 DX. To say that I was blown away by the results is an understatement, the handling and feel on the D300 is so right.

Features & handling This Nikon optic is designed to a very high standard. It's a professional specification optic that has nine aperture blades to help deliver that image sharpness. There are 14 elements (of which three use the high quality ED glass), set out in ten groups.

Many uses, a great lens.
I take my lens on boats and underwater: it is great for close action shots both above and below the surface, and resists the rigors of travel. AF with my D200 is no problem. I am waiting with bated breath to try it with a D300s in a new housing.
Pros:
- Consistent Output
- Durable
- Sharp Focus
- Strong Construction

Excellent
The AF-S 17-55mm has a price tag a little beyond the 1000 EUR/US$ barrier but upon first contact it is pretty obvious that you also get some value for your money - the build quality of the lens is superb.
