Digital camera reviews of Nikon 17-35mm f/2.8D ED-IF AF-S Zoom Nikkor Lens for Nikon Digital SLR Cameras
Digital camera Review: 3 out of 5
Summary: 3 Stars
I wanted to like this lens badly based on what I needed in my bag and what was said here and at other sites. Unfortunately I found the lens to be unacceptably soft between f/2.8 and 4.5. If I would have been a little more careful in my research I would have noticed this to be a common observation though for landscape photographers they don't mind as they're typically stopped down anyway. But for me, to consider the 17-35mm as a replacement for the kit 18-70 as a near-full time lens I just couldn't justify the price/quality ratio when I'd have to stop the lens down to where the kit lens is to get to the sweet spot. I guess I'll have to start looking for the 17-55mm option where it is said to excel at the wider open aperature.
