The following opinions have been automatically translated with Google Translate.
Pros:Sharp, accurate and fast AF, beautiful colors, solid construction, f 2.8 constant, deep black, soft blur.
Cons:Important but compensated by quality, flare but difficult to trigger that I personally do not suffer, if it was tropicalized it would have no defects, I'm so glad I did not mention the cost.
Opinion:I have this optic for over a year, I've also tried sigma 17-50 f2.8 which I gave for despair, here I feel serene, every shot has a potential, colors that you do not find in other basic optics, has a fast and accurate AF even a pursuit, as everyone suffers the change of depth, blacks make the difference and the smile using this optic is perpetual. It is not tropicalized and stabilized. Its soft and pleasant blur, from the landscape to the portrait to the night, I judge it a stupendous optic from which I could not separate.
Pros:Sharpness at TA; Precise AF; Color rendering; exceptional hold in backlighting..zero flare (I underline that it has no fluorite lenses or anti-reflection treatment).
Cons:Price? (diepende, I do not use it in a professional way ... if I used it ... with rain or something else I would say that the price would be adequate)
Opinion:I have owned it for about 3 years; I made about 2500 shots; I mount it on D7100; even with fast moving subjects do not miss a shot (goes into difficulty, but not always, with subjects in strong approach, or removal, with the direction coinciding with the shooting). The color rendering is excellent and the weight I would say is not a problem, indeed, on the D7100 increases already the size for a more secure grip (advice cmq BG on the machine). I do not feel the need for VR for my photographic needs (mainly people on the move ... so I'm always at 1/200 -1/250 to avoid camera shake). I took it as a replacement for the sigma 18-50 f2.8 HSM EX-DC ... incomparable.
Pros:Sharpness at TA, color rendering, construction and materials. Distance focusing. f2.8 constant aperture throughout the zoom span.
Cons:Weight and really big footprint. AF is not always fast and sometimes not accurate, zoom range, perhaps a bit 'limited. Price Absurd. chromatic aberration visible in apertures. No VR.
Opinion:Recently bought, used, out of curiosity, driven by the rave reviews I read a bit 'everywhere. I mount on the D7100. The heavy feeling is immediate and not if it goes longer. The wide angle side is almost a 18 and does not solve the need for a true wide angle. On the other side the 55mm is a bit 'short and does not solve the need to also have a canvas. I do not call it a real all-rounder with a lens on DX but its specific functions. Portraits settled, views not driven, some first floor. Too bulky for reportage and street. The optical quality is unquestionable, very clear already at TA. Returns faithful images and well balanced. The blur is pleasant, but on the economic level fixed 1.8, no more. AF precise and responsive but with good light, feels however some problems with light "difficult" and it has some difficulty hooking or focus on unwanted points. Very beautiful the focus distance which allows use almost Macro (but is not amacro). Overall it is a good objective, professional, solid, but older, less versatile, crisp but not to scream, heavy, priced out of the market, in my opinion. The lack of VR is really serious in a lens of this segment, in my opinion, for this would not have bought. Forces to stay in at the expense of the ISO safety times, especially indoors where is it a useless lens without the flash. I think they can do without, and with this money really buy a lot of better things and more in line with the times. Also possessing 16-85 VR, I thought I could replace with this, and keep only one glass, knowing losing 30mm on the side canvases. But in the end I guess I hold 16-85 that is sharp and in addition has the same VR, is also lighter and it's really a handyman to how I photograph. perhaps buying wrong of me, even if we see that the lens is quality and keeps some promises, type structure and materials. But for me it is very sopravvalutato.
Pros:Sharpness, accurate and fast AF, construction, weather sealed
Cons:Lack stabilization (though not required)
Opinion:Gorgeous, the feeling of strength that the touch is very rewarding, I use it on my D7200 and MAF has never wrong even in extreme lighting conditions, I have owned other optical deemed "similar" (Tamron, Sigma and also the Tokina 16 -50) but no holding the confronto.rnQualcuno lamente overweight, from my point of view holding hand on the zoom ring on the camera is very well balanced
Cons:A little weight, however, justified by the material used. Obviously if used for long walks you will be felt. The price ? Indeed dear!
Opinion:For me the TOP of Nikon DX. I mount on my D7000 and I never disappoint. Personally I bought it new on Amazon because I do not trust a lot of used, especially for these lenses. For those who plan to go to FF maybe a good used would be fine. I personally believe that moving to this format does not fall in my projects, and have optical quality of DX is enough for me ...... maybe be combined in the future with the D500 !!! The lens though dated as construction, issues of quality photos. I'm just a fan, but I like to have the material at the Top, so I recommend it to those who think like me. Unfortunately, the cost of the new does not come down !!!
Opinion:Having a reflex of the latest design and not have this is like owning a Ferrari and tire applications supermarket! A mistake not to have purchased before. I think that the financial sacrifice is amply repaid by the result! Objective balanced by color rendering and sharpness unmatched, excellent lens hood is good tropicalization. Nikon warranty
Opinion:The lens demonstrates its quality, use with the Nikon D80, and despite the limitations of the SLR get photos that give me a lot of satisfaction, aim for a top DX. Honestly and for almost a year that I use and does its job very well, if I have to sell it only to go to the format FF .The advice to those who want the top of Nikon DX-format.
Pros:Quality 'materials, AF, sharpness, brightness', rings, potre write until tomorrow!
Cons:hood, price.
Opinion:As soon as I put this lens on my D 7200 and I realized that 'the best I have in the backpack, and if I thought before I avoided buying four more goals, they can now rest a lot' of time I will not write technical skills but I wanted to give my opinion only to advise him because I believe that, without exaggeration is the best even across the range Nikon subqueste openings, quite fast and silent AF a real picture and sharper colors faithful, the right openings to satisfy several needs shooting, and 'a little' dated but knows his stuff! Old horse knows the right track! Only a little weight can 'disturb but if you accept returns with lovely photos .rnCONSIGLIATISSIMO! I must have!
Pros:Constant aperture of f / 2.8, robustness and build quality, optical quality, clarity of the shots, well-built lens hood
Cons:By contrast I would say only the fact that the excursion of the focal not totally internal, but the last part of lens extends a few centimeters
Opinion:It 'was my best buy in these years of fotografia.rnLa mount on D7000 and is perfectly balanced. Has an optical quality exciting especially at full aperture (f / 2.8) and on all focal lengths from 17 to 55.rnL'escursione 17-55 on DX is great for the 90% of my photographic style, it is more than good for any situation even in interni.rnLa construction, as you can expect from a lens of this level (professional), it is impeccable, solid, reassuring. Now I ask myself the trouble of having to take two droplets of water, or handle with excessive precaution the machine during fotografie.rnE 'really a tank! RnVolete it safe and spend once and for all ?? rnFidatevi ... go on a 17-55 Nikon
Pros:Robustness, eternal, images returned, only lens can withstand the density of modern sensors
Cons:The price, but in line with the quality and construction technique, DX format
Opinion:As per tradition, I write my opinion at the end of its use and the transition to the big brother of the lens, or 24 - 70.rnScattavo with d7000 and immediately bought a 17-55 sigma, perfect outstanding but the pictures that I returned discerning and then ... and then came this lente.rnImmagini returned incredible, always used with great satisfaction, a marvel! rn
Pros:brightness, strength, color rendering, af lightning.
Cons:lens right (but not a problem).
Opinion:E 'was love at first scatto.rnNon wonder not at the price when I see the frames that can creare.rnGia very sharp at TA and diaframmando becomes really exciting, the autofocus is very fast even in low luminosità.rnUnica note tune (if it can be considered a flaw) is that you buy an optical dx, but, in my opinion, if you do not want to go imminently fx, the council vivamente.rnAh forgot .... you are shopping a tank! ;-) Rnrn
