After selling my DX gear I needed a good lens to replace my then favourite lens, the 17-55mm f2.8 DX. I bought one of these old lenses because of price and reputation while waiting for a well priced 24-70mm to turn up. Having previously had some zooms from this era I always had a high regard for Nikon's lenses from the 1980/1990 era. reviewed December 7th, 2013 (purchased for $500) Very sharp, solid construction Flare is a problem; fogging is significant in some examples, but is easy to remove. Despite a fairly limited focal length range and old-fashioned push-pull focal length selection, this is a very useful lens. The biggest problem is flare. But the long hood that you can buy cheaply, or just hand shading the lens when shooting toward the sun, pretty much removes that problem. Fogging is common in this lens, for some reason. But professionals can easily remove it, leaving you with a good, sharp mid-range lens. Many zooms contain this range. But for those who concentrate around the mid-range (for FX) and mid-range to mild zoom (for DX), it's a handy piece of equipment. It's very sharp at all focal lengths. reviewed October 5th, 2013 (purchased for $350)Pro quality. Super sharp, Fast lens at a reasonable cost Heavy with limited zoom range A very sharp zoom. Heavy but pro quality. Very well made. Competes with prime lens image quality. Very good Zoom reviewed October 16th, 2012 (purchased for $375)Very sharp, light weight, somewhat small, tank front rotates, push-pull design, some flare I've had this lens since new and used it for several years on film bodies. I keep thinking about upgrading for zoom range, but the 35-70 keeps producing superb images. The hood stays on it to defend against flare. |
