Ultimate Affordable Ultra Wideangle

byehwang May 16, 2000
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros A great versatile ultra wide angle
Cons Vignetting is sometimes a problem.
Recommended it? Yes

If you haven't already figured it out, I'm a Nikon fan. I only have Nikon lenses for my Nikon bodies, because the pictures I take are only as good as the hunk of glass I have on the camera. Sure, you can argue that German optics are better and I won't disagree, but who can afford them. For me,... Read full review »

Fantastic for tight shots in Venice

byeuropeman Dec 10, 2001
7 Helpfuls 8 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Light, compact, cheap for the performance
Cons I have found none
Recommended it? Yes

You have 10 feet between the 17th century Venetian palazzo and the edge of the canal. How do you get a picture? With super-wide angle, with this lens.

I carry three cameras -- two Nikon N90's and a compact Contax. One of the N90's has a Nikon 80-200mm 2.8 ED telephoto and the other has... Read full review »

Nikon 17-35mm f/2.8 Must Be the Greatest Wide-Angle Lens!

bypaulphoto Feb 6, 2003
59 Helpfuls 60 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Superb optics, solid built, super-fast AF and super-quiet operation
Cons Expensive price tag may be the one and only objection in this lens
Recommended it? Yes

My first zoom lens in the extreme wide angle was the Nikon 20-35mm f/2.8D. For me, it was a dream lens. When I bought the 20-35mm lens, the 17-35mm zoom had already been introduced. At the time, I thought a difference of 3mm in focal length was not much. As the old saying goes, "Be content with the... Read full review »

a great lens to use with great results

bygoobaah Jan 27, 2003
8 Helpfuls 9 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros very well built and useful lens with fast aperture and great viewing angle
Cons heavy and not cheap, but we cant have everything
Recommended it? Yes

This lens continues to surprise me with its performance. Outdoors, it seems you can capture limitless wide angle shots with amazing depth of field, and then look down and get a picture of a flower from nearly 6" away from the end of the lens. Each picture will turn out sharp and tightly focused... Read full review »
