I bought this lens as a replacement to a Nikon 17-55 F 2.8 damaged irreparably; so consider myself very critical. Features Its a moderately fast 17-70 F2.8 – F4 Variable aperture DX or APS Zoom with Image Stabilisation (OS) and good close focusing ability.
Versatile and useful Zoom Range 17-70; Image stabilization; Fast at wide angle; Smooth bokeh; Close focus
Annoying Manual Focus switch; A touch soft at wide apertures; No weather sealing
