Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED Lens

This professional quality, mid-range zoom lens has been designed specifically for the 'APS-C' sized sensors used in all of Nikon's DSLR cameras and is quite a different beast from the 18-55mm lens supplied with the D50 camera reviewed in this issue.

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

Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8G ED-IF DX AF-S Nikkor review by Mark95841

Funny how reviews on this site are much lower than other sites. I don't think it's the lens, there's a way to get the best out of this lens, stabilize, compose, focus and shoot. It's easy to get a blurry shot if you are not careful but I don't think a lot of these bad reviews are warranted.
Pros:
  • Sharp
  • contrasty
  • quick focus and amazing
Cons:
  • Expensive
  • heavy

The 17-55mm DX lens is a lot larger than you'd expect, only slightly smaller than the 17-35mm f/2.8 FX lens. That's despite producing a smaller image circle. The minute you pick up this lens, you're going to be curious why it is as large as it is. (Hint: it's all about performance.

Nikkor AF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 G IF-ED DX - Review / Test Report

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.
