Nikon AF-S 17-35mm f2.8 D FX

4 ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This Nikon AF-S 17-35mm f2.8 D FX has been fully tested and serviced by our team of camera experts and works like new. There are some signs of previous use, but what fun is a rental if you don’t use it? Any signs of previous use are minor and superficial and there are no notable marks or scratches. All the photos to the left are of the item you would receive so you can see for yourself (yes, we really have someone downstairs photographing every preloved product). Includes: LOWEPRO 11X14CM soft case and the front and rear lens cap

The Nikon AF-S Nikkor 17-35mm f/2.8D ED-IF is a relatively old lens, and was for a while the only practical fast standard zoom on Nikon's early professional DX (APS-C) format bodies. On full-frame bodies it's a useful ultra-wide angle zoom, and offers very good central sharpness at all apertures, improving upon stopping down. Edges are rough though, and don't really ever sharpen up, and heavy vignetting is impossible to ignore between F2.8-4. At this point in time, the 17-35mm F2.8 stands as a solid, no-nonsense lens that will take a lot of abuse, but optically it has been roundly surpassed by the AF-S Nikkor 14-24mm f/2.8G ED and the more practical, but slower AF-S Nikkor 16-35mm f/4G ED VR.
