Excellent review! I just moved from Olympus to Nikon and I have been reading for two days about which lenses I need. Your review is pure Excellence! I am getting this lens tonight! THANK YOU!!!

hi nerdishtech. i have d7000 body with 18-200mm lens. i hate to sell my 18-200 to buy this lens. what you think?

[corelmanjim]

Great review. I have been seriously thinking of purchasing this lens for my Nikon 17-55 mm lens for my Nikon D300s. Your review and others on YouTube have helped me to make the move and purchase the lens.

Keep up the great reviews.

i am going to shoot weddings, do you think in such an environment where the lens can easily got knocked into stuff - should i still invest in this lens - or perhaps i should go for the MUCH cheaper tamron 17-50?

[BigRooster747]

I think 800 pouns is 1600 dollars nowadays, hehee...... glad you say nikkon and not naaihconn, as the yanks do.

[gwmills94]

I just wish I could afford it... ha

[Salha7]

[geonlansis]

Hi nerdishtech, I just ordered a used one today. Should be getting it by Monday. I am so excited!!!!

[davemarksbro]

great review can you do it will out the accent!

Complet BS that DX is going out FX is cool when u can buy a 400MM 2,8 nikkor for me a 300 AFS 4,0 brings it at an angle equivalent of 450MM with decsent quality and that is still on my D50.

I bought this 17-55 new because i like the advantage of 1,5.

Saving money indeed with DX.

The D300s and its followers are superb cameras.

[dickpprods]

The DX format is a quickly outgoing range of lenses that will become useless once full sized 35mm sensors are adapted to Nikon cameras. Don't waste your money. Buy FX format lenses. (Even if they are more expensive now, you will be saving money in the future)

[garycomp]

has the lense got vibration reduction or do you not need it on such a wide angle lense?

[haiti2006]

Hay, nice review. will tF2.8 allow really sharp photos at normal (200 - 400) iso settings in medium to low light. i'm thinking of buying one for doing a friends wedding, and i'm a bit worried about the church lighting. i think this is the lense i need. would you still use a bounce flash, i have a sb900 if required.

thanks, keep up the good work.

i would sleep in my soft pouch if i could ! i,m sorry for the comment about your wallpaper but it's my job i,m a horibble yellow bear : the guy actually looks really kind and loving : i could easily imagine him stoking a cat or teaching a budgie to speak

[horribleyellowbear]

ok ok : all very good but i,m sorry i cant take it seriously because of your awful wallpaper

[bussiness4]

He maid the video so you could at lease see the lens before you buy it, NOT for you to comment on his wall paper.

[AIDSbanana]

I just purchased on of these. this is an amazing lens, focuses fast, sharp as hell, but it is a BEAST. (huge--especially once you add the hood.)

[nonexist]

Very good job. Thank you for the video.

[blackcabbie2006]

keeep in mind that when using your built in flash because this lens is so big it casts a shadow at the bottomm of the shot, flash fill in good light is ok though

[gazgunman]

nice video, nice lens.

I have one myself and also use it with the 70-200 f2.8 VR on a D200.

[FIXOVISION]

Thanks for the excellent video. I am from India and have a D40. I use it with the Nikkors - 12-24 and 18-200. I just happenned to look into the EXIF of most of my photos and found that > 70% of them are taken in the 12-80 range. The 18-200 is really slow and would like to go for a faster lens. Would you recommend the 17-55 f/2.8 or the 24-70 f/2.8 for my requirement. Thanks in advance - Sriram

[Cannavarolt]

thanx mate for this review. so i've decided to go for a d300 with this lens. and it's a good deal i found. so is it really sharp as everyone says or it depends on what kind of copy u get just like with sigma 10-20?

[sasuke000naruto]

(5:04-5:05)Peter Parker get to work Kaboom! jk, thats one sweet cam. how much did you pay for it?

[TooTiredProductions]

would it work alright for concert photography?

it works on a nikon d40, right?

thanks

[crazyca0]

of course it willl. the lens is an AF-S. Any lens label AF-S will sure to work on your d40.

[kelvincao001]

it would work well in concert only if your close enough, but if you dont have access for a close-up, get a 70-200mm 2.8

[eddiedahorsie]

im trying to decide on which to purchase, this 17-55mm f2.8 or the 85mm f1.4d. i was wondering if you have an input on my dilema. thanks again and great review.

[altus2]

Very helpful review, thank you.

[leicam6]

[funniq]

[lim2k2]

[atangvideo]

[nerdishtech]

I hope you enjoy it! its a fantastic lens!

[MAROONPHEONIX2]

I want the nikon f6 so much. i'm eventually going to get i just got to save up some money :)

[coolchef1337]

Don't get the F6. It's a over-priced crap. Get the superior and way cheaper F5.

Good review by the way.

[disspecies]

Good One! My wishlist!! HAHAHAHA :D
