Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 17-55mm 1:2.8G

A professional lens designed for portraiture, at the top of the Nikon range, in production since 2003 with excellent value for money.

Pros and cons

This lens is known for its excellent center sharpness and rugged build, but it exhibits high levels of chromatic aberrations towards the frame edges and distortion at both ends of the zoom range. It is ideal for a variety of shooting scenarios thanks to its fixed f/2.8 aperture, which provides remarkable performance even in low-light conditions
