Does The Nikon AF-S 17-35mm Still Cut It?

Hi Duncan.

I consider the 17-35 f/2.8 to be a top-notch lens, so much so that I haven't purchased a 16-35 f/4 even though it has VR. I use mine primarily on my D700 and D3s. I use it more than my 14-24 f/2.8 because I have filter systems for it.

About one year ago, I had been through the same decission making study to choose one of these lenses. Finally, I came to the conclusion of buying 17-35 f2.8D AF-ED lens and I purchased the last lens available in Australian market. It works perfect with D800 for visible and fully converted D3200 for IR.

I've had the 17-35mm and currently have the 18-35mm G lens. The older lens, while sharp, was notable for fringing on the D300 I used it with. The 18-35mm is a great lens on my D610 and D5200. It's much lighter for longer backpacking trips. But it is also not as robust for hard use.
