The Sharpest Nikon Lens Ever, the Nikkor AF 180mm f/2.8D ED-IF

by Howard_Creech , Dec 23, 2001
Pros: Tack sharp, fast, excellent bokeh, superb color.
Cons: No tripod collar
The Bottom Line: Measurably sharper, with better contrast and truer color than the Nikkor 80-200 f2.8. A solid "Pro" lens that is very sharp at f2.8 and exceptional at f4.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Old time photographers often talk about the wonderful optics of the past; the Leica, Zeiss, Schneider, Nikon, and Canon lenses from the golden age of photojournalism. For the most part those musings on magical old glass are more mystical wish and...

The Nikon Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8 G ED-IF AF-S DX - a perfect short zoom?

by jvandegr , Jul 22, 2007
Pros: Sharp throughout focal and aperture range, professional build quality, fast and accurate focus.
Cons: Slightly prone to flare, field curvature, and aberration. Heavy, large, expensive. Not sharper than 18-70mm.
The Bottom Line: Recommended for professional use when build quality and reliability are critical. Otherwise, the 18-70mm AF-S offers more for much less.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Introduction

For many years, I have only used a zoom lens for the 70-200mm focal range. All of my wide angle and normal focal length work has been done with primes (fixed focal length lenses). For most of the history of photography,...

The best midrange zoom for digital

by mimoid , Aug 9, 2006
Pros: Fast, constant aperture, build quality, excellent sharpness and image quality
Cons: Very expensive
The Bottom Line: If you can afford it, buy it. You will not be disappointed.
This reviewer recommends this product.
Review: Introduction

The Nikon 17-55 DX is Nikon's flagship midrange digital zoom lens. The "DX" denomination means that the lens is optimized for the small sized sensors of Nikon digital cameras and is therefore not quite compatible with...
