Review on Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED Zoom Lens with Auto Focus - Ideal for Nikon DSLR Cameras by Minoru Izaki ᠌

For everyday crop and reportage, this is the best choice if such a range of FR is convenient. Very happy with the purchase. With its pros. 1. FR convenience. Everything that is wider than the normal angle for me was blocked by this zoom. 2. Constructive. I screwed a camera on my hand and take a walk, this tank is not afraid of anything. 3. Speed ​​and tenacity of AF. At first he even aimed at the ceiling and he managed to catch on. It only beeps about readiness, the percentage of sharp photos with this lens has approached 100%. 4. Sharpness with open. In general, everything is simple here, if you get a good copy. You can hit with the FR wide open as much as possible over the entire range, if you hit the depth of field - the sharpness is excellent. 5. Weight. It can be a lot for someone, but this weight and its gripping ability allows me to take hand-held shots at shutter speeds up to 1 / 10s, which is not possible with a lighter fifty dollars. 6. Adequate moisture/dust protection. 7. Smooth running of the focusing ring. Don't accidentally hit. 8. Chic lens hood, primarily in terms of protection. With its cons. 1. Tight zoom ring. On the one hand, protection affects, on the other hand, it is not very convenient when changing FR quickly. 2. Drawing. When compared with the top primes, then of course the blur is not impressive. 3. Price from scratch.
