Review on Nikon 17-35mm f/2.8D IF-ED Zoom Lens with Auto Focus for Nikon DSLR Cameras - AF-S FX NIKKOR series by Kenta Saito ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Full compliance with the manufacturers assurances, high quality.

One of my favorite lenses, most of the time was on the camera. Made a lot of good shots on it. Well, something as an application. It is worth bearing in mind that it is quite weighty, but feels good in the hand.

Pros
  • - Beautiful "drawing" - Quick focus - Comfortable range of FR with saving from the aperture value - Pretty sharp (more than enough for photos of different genres) - Well assembled
Cons
  • - A controversial disadvantage, which at the same time is an advantage. The lens has distortion. On the one hand, it seems to be a drawback (but it can be easily corrected in the editor), on the other hand, the same distortions make the picture interesting - In the new conditions, a very controversial price tag, provided there is no stabilizer - "Screwdriver", which in turn does not allow you to save the glass when ating the carcass to the version without a screwdriver.

Some pros: luminosity, artistic drawing, speed Its cons: at 2.8 sharpness only in the center

A lens for reporting in a car compartment at f 2.8, for landscapes at f 5.6-8 is also not bad, but by the way, due to its aforementioned shortcomings, this glass has a huge creative potential in the hands of the artist, the price for a new one is inadequate, but this quality is not glass and people

Has pros: constructive, optical quality, the front lens does not protrude like on most wide-angle lenses, compact size Has cons: since the lens is old, it does not have nanocrystalline coating, chromate

At the moment, definitely not worth the amount indicated on the market.

What was especially striking was the clarity of work in dim lighting without a flash, more specifically - with one 35-watt LDS, and shooting hand-held - well, I really liked it. In general, a good all-rounder, it is not clear why it is called a zoom)

Some pros: aperture, constructive, focal range - what you need! Its cons: limitations? Obsolete morally and technologically, uneven sharpness.

Great lens. To the previous author of the review: on the MTF charts it is indicated for an open aperture, on the covered aperture everything is in order with sharpness. On the D800E, it resolves perfectly.
