Opinion:Probably it is a Tamron faired Nikon, someone considers it a defect, Personally I can only speak well of this lens that has everything I need and gives me amazing photos. Putting aside the 14-24 2.8 that remains to want Nikon a real mirage I could have opted for the 14-30 f4, optics that I do not even like in the catalog. Of course I speak for myself, others go crazy. I find it very balanced in its offer of focal lengths, with the old 14-24 afs I often found myself in a completely unconscious way working at 14 mm, many photos I ruined for this, it seems that the photographer is increasingly inclined to "take air". With this perspective I do not run the risk of involuntary excesses, a 17 mm although wide-angle by definition does not "pull" at the edges, does not distort the lateral dimensions, does not do damage in short and remains useful even in landscaping even if I find it valuable in the reportage. The general quality is good so much that I was thinking of replacing the 24-70 f4 with the big brother 28-75 2,8.For once I was practical and I think I focused on the substance.
Pros:Low price, Screw filters, Sharp, Flare resistant, Small and light
Cons:Obviously it can't go under 17mm but it would be top if it was 15-28 or even 15-24mm
Opinion:Having already tried the previous Nikon Z wide-angle lenses the 14-24 f / 2.8 and the 14-30 f / 4 which were both really bad quality and with "coma" present at all apertures, I tried with great interest also this brand new 17-28 f / 2.8. Starting from a focal length a little longer (17mm) it was probably easier to build and in fact I find it a perfect lens. The cost is very different from the other 2, costs almost half and has an excellent value for money. Seeing well the photos produced there is no coma, even at f2.8 works well. The 18-pointed star on the lights is delicate well defined and the lens suffers almost nothing from flare. Mount the convenient screw filters without the obligation to use uncomfortable plates. As weight and size it is little more than a fixed 50ino so it can be said that it is small and light. Who has a mirrorless camera Nikon Z can not do without this lens, also because the other 2 mentioned at the beginning, for me are not to be considered, especially with what they cost I consider them two big flops at Nikon. We hope that the path of quality will be maintained and that 17-28 is just the beginning.
Cons:Photographing the sun directly with closed apertures you have beautiful rays, too bad that at the top literally forms a chessboard of light refracted color from red to green / blue
Opinion:The 14-24 f2.8 was another thing but it was so bulky that I always left it at home .... after years I decided to replace it with this that I find very convenient to carry around and is always f2.8Too bad for the problem of refraction photographing the sun directly However I highly recommend it. I had also evaluated there 14-30 f4 but I do not like the objectives that "lengthen"
Pros:Sharpness even at full aperture, no distortion, versatility
Cons:A bit heavy, price
Opinion:Tried still very little but a good feeling immediately. I replaced the 20mm Z 1.8 with the 17-28 to have more versatility and for the moment I have no second thoughts. Heavy a lot, so much so that you have to think about it to use it as a travel lens and a lot expensive but now we have understood that photography for passion is a disease.
