i love this lens and i put it on my D300 all the time, the 17-55 is better than 17-35 and also the 2.8 f is very useful. from Wolfcamera.com Portrait / Event photography. Great for group shots and working in small areas due to zoom. Very fast, but heavy to carry all day. from Wolfcamera.com I have to say that I have never regretted buying this lens! If you can only choose one lens for your DSLR then this is the one to have. from Wolfcamera.com First came the decision of which wide angle lens I needed. Nikon made the new 14-24mm, which I thought was an awesome range. from Wolfcamera.com Needless to say, the lens is excellent. A professional grade one worth the investment. from Amazon.com Not cheap, but a great lens. Images are very sharp. from Amazon.com LOVE this lens. It is so much more infinitely better then the kit lens (18-70) that is isn't even comparable. from Amazon.com After one year with my trusty D80 I finally jumped and got this lens. I have to tell you that probably some of you will argue that for less money people can get a f/2.8 Tamron (click here:Tamron SP AF17-50mm F/2.8 Di II LD Aspherical (IF) Lens with hood for Nikon-D DSLR Cameras) or a f/2.8 Sigma (click here: Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM Macro Lens for Nikon DSLR), but such comparisons are completely off track. from Amazon.com With all the FX talk and full frame sensor thrashing, you need to focus on objectives and purpose for your needs. This lens is constant 2.8 through the entire focal range. That affords a profound differenece for me, shooting in shade, under objects, on my kneepads in the early morning, walking through urban alleys before sunrise. from Amazon.com Super lens. No question. from Amazon.com
