A great lens for Nikon digital Slrs : Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S DX Nikkor Zoom Lens
After one year with my trusty D80 I ultimately 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 fully off track.
First of all, a $800 inequity it's not just marketing. It is reflected by a totally separate image quality, a good build (metal and sealing), the speed of the Af principles and the full, feeling of retention a real pro lens.
Secondly, the Tamrons I was contemplating into buying all had some problems with flash overexposure on Ttl and Ttl Bl modes on my Sb800 + D80 combo. I am not quite sure why it happened with the Tamron, but I have no such problems with the Dx 17-55. Moreover, Tamron has inferior Af speed and this can be observed especially in lowlight. Try focusing with the 17-55 in ambiental light from a 60W light bulb and you will have no problem. Then try the same with a Tamron and you will.
Another thing that is annoying is the Ca I've noticed with the Tammy, even when the lens was stopped down. I personally hate strong Ca because it makes my photos look very P&S-like.
However, the 17-50 Tamron is a good contender and may be an choice for anything on a tight budget. Please keep in mind that I saved for the Nikkor and I got it as a matter of fact one year after my first decision, but I believe the waiting was worth every penny.
Now back to the 17-55Dx:
My palpate with it is linked to a D80 camera.
The lens is very, very, very sharp, even wide open at 2.8. It is approximately too sharp at f5.6 which should make you never use the in-camera sharpening at other setting than normal and this may create some problems for portraiture work if you will like, for example, to soften a bit some undesirable details on your model's face... The sharpness is due generally to the superb optics of the lens but also to the perfect microcontrast this lens is able to render. The full, microcontrast translates into very natural-looking images and perfect rendition of difficult hues and tones as skin tones have (for example).
Under direct interesting sun, it tends to exhibit a wee magenta cast but this is as a matter of fact correctable either with a filter or by postprocessing (pp) when using raw (Nef) files. I'm not sure if this is due to the lens alone or - more probable - the lens + antialising filter + sensor of the D80, so results may be separate with other nikon cameras. The lens is quite obviously coated for neutral gray rendition on a 6000K color temperature, the one you will get with flash, for example. Btw, it is a good ideea to use hand-operated white balance on 6000K when using D80 + 17-55Dx + Sb800 and A mode on the flash. I got best results with these settings.
Also about camera settings, the 17-55Dx is a very contrasty lens so this may give you some hard times when shooting jpegs on a interesting sunny day with huge image dynamics. My guidance is to set your camera tone settings on low or bottom (-1 or -2) and mode I or Iii sRgb. No question on raw as dynamics could be corrected in Capture Nx. These issues are nonexistent with filtered or diffuse light (cloudy, diffusers etc).
Overall, this lens makes for each penny you spend with it. It has a superb build ability which will impress you from the first occasion you'll hold it in your hands, perfect sharpness, color rendition and image ability that equals the actual scene characteristics in naturalness and color. It is environmentally sealed (internal and at the flange with a rubber ring), the Af runs extremely fast and it is a good investment in a superb optical system.
