17–35mm · f/2.8
The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 17-35mm f/2.8D ED-IF is a professional-grade wide-angle zoom praised for excellent sharpness across the frame, even wide open, and good contrast and flare resistance. Its all-metal build is durable but heavy. Weaknesses include soft corners at 17-19mm, even stopped down, and some barrel distortion and vignetting correctable in post. It suits FX/film shooters needing a versatile, fast zoom; not recommended for DX.
