The AF-S DX Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G is Nikon's pro-grade standard zoom for DX-format DSLRs, covering a 25.5-82.5mm full-frame equivalent at a constant f/2.8. It is built like a tank with a metal barrel, weather sealing and fast Silent Wave autofocus, and it holds f/2.8 across the whole range. It suits event, wedding and reportage shooters on DX bodies who want one fast, sharp lens. Against the cheaper 16-80mm f/2.8-4E VR and the 18-55mm kit lenses it trades zoom range and vibration reduction for a constant aperture and tougher build; it is heavy and pricey for a DX lens, and it is outclassed on sharpness by newer designs.

Owners and reviewers rate it as a tough, fast pro zoom with excellent build and autofocus, but many call it heavy and dated next to newer DX glass. Sharpness is strong in the center wide open, with corners and CA needing stopping down.
