WP Photography - Nikon 17-55mm 2.8 AF-S DX

A quick run down on the Nikon 17-55mm and it's features. The video covers the first impressions of the lens and some of the key points that make it a good addition to the camera bag.

does it focus well in low light?

[WPPhotography]

@zangounette I found it will focus well in low light. All round I think this is a super lens! I love it

Awesome review Will! Quick question, if you had say £600 to spend on lenses for a DX body (without built in motor), which two or three lens combo would you go for? Cheers!

[WPPhotography]

@TIRanald Thanks! - £600 depends if you could buy used or not! Buying new I would get a 85mm 1.8 prime, and something like the Tamron 17-50 2.8. Any money left over would be for a nice little prime such as the 35mm 1.8 - different people will have different views and whilst I have only owned one of those 3 I have heard good words about the others.

Great review Will

I have been seriously considering this lens and your review gives me the confidence to move forward and purchase the lens for my Nikon D300s.

Keep up the great reviews.

@corelmanjim Thank you! This is a brilliant lens and on the D300s I love it! It stays on the camera most of the time and is pin sharp! I highly recommend it!.

@TIRanald Purchased this from eBay in the UK. Saved hundreds off the RRP

Where did you get this second hand? Cheers

You can try and get them refurbished as well, if your lucky, and that gets several hundred knocked off. :)
