Our take on the Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 17-55mm f2.8G IF-ED Lens

The Nikon AF-S DX 17-55mm f/2.8G is a fast standard zoom for DX-format DSLRs, covering a 25.5-82.5mm equivalent range at a constant f/2.8. Three aspherical and three ED elements plus Super Integrated Coating keep images sharp and colors clean, and the Silent Wave Motor gives quick, quiet autofocus. It is built for photojournalists, event shooters and portrait photographers who want one bright lens instead of a kit zoom. Against the 16-80mm f/2.8-4E VR it trades reach and stabilization for a constant aperture and heavier, older build; against the 17-55mm's third-party rivals it is tougher but larger and lacks VR.

About the Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 17-55mm f2.8G IF-ED Lens

This is a standard zoom lens for Nikon F-mount DX-format cameras. It covers wide-angle to portrait-length focal lengths, equal to 25.5-82.5mm in 35mm terms. The maximum aperture is a constant f/2.8, so the light stays consistent across the zoom range. It also gives more control over depth of field for selective focus.

The optical design uses three aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion (ED) elements. The aspherical elements reduce spherical aberration and distortion. The ED elements reduce color fringing and chromatic aberration. Super Integrated Coating on individual elements suppresses internal reflections, flare and ghosting in strong light.

A Silent Wave Motor provides quick, quiet and precise autofocus, with full-time manual focus override. The internal focusing design moves only the internal lens groups, so the lens keeps its length during focusing. A rounded nine-blade diaphragm gives a pleasing out-of-focus quality.

Questions and answers

Is the Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8G worth it over the 16-80mm f/2.8-4E VR?
The 17-55mm gives you a constant f/2.8 and a tougher build. The 16-80mm adds reach and vibration reduction but loses the constant aperture.
Does this lens have image stabilization?
No. It has no VR, so low-light handheld shooting relies on the fast f/2.8 aperture and higher ISO.
What cameras does it fit?
It is an F-mount DX lens for Nikon APS-C DSLRs. On full-frame bodies it will not cover the sensor without cropping.
What is in the box?
The lens, a 77mm front cap, an LF-1 rear cap, the HB-31 bayonet hood and a CL-1120 soft case.
How does it compare with the 17-55mm f/2.8 third-party zooms?
It is generally regarded as sharper and better built than older third-party f/2.8 standard zooms, at the cost of more weight and no stabilization.
Is the autofocus fast enough for sports?
The Silent Wave Motor is quick and quiet, but the 17-55mm range is short for field sports. It suits events and indoor action better.
Where is the Nikon AF-S DX Zoom-NIKKOR 17-55mm f2.8G IF-ED Lens cheapest?
