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 »

A True Fixed-Focal Length Lens for a D-SLR Camera

bypaulphoto Dec 29, 2006
58 Helpfuls 59 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Impressive wide aperture, sharp image and high contrast, true digital SLR lens, excellent...
Cons none
Recommended it? Yes


Fixed focal-length lenses are a rare find in the digital arena. Most abundant are the zoom lenses; and, usually none that offer a larger aperture for low-light shooting as well as providing a nice out-of-focus background to allow the primary subject to stand out. Sigma probably thought of... Read full review »

I never thought I'd like a third party lens so much!

byuniq Jan 14, 2006
16 Helpfuls 17 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros exceptional build quality, fantastic optical performance, best in class speed
Cons some will feel it is expensive
Recommended it? Yes

I'm not a huge fan of third party lenses. I have largely been a brand loyalist (in this case..Nikon) and past experience has shown me that you get what you pay for and the better lenses typically cost more and the REALLY great lenses tend to cost a LOT!. I'm a huge freak for build quality, optical... Read full review »
