Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-11-29 Summary: Fast and sharp ... Wedding photography is challenging, partly because of low-light situations, such as in a church when no flash is allowed or in a reception hall when the house lights are dimmed. For those situations this is my lens of choice. And this lens also produces some very sharp images. If I am shooting portraits in the 17-55mm focal length range then this is the lens I grab. I also own a 50mm prime lens but I tend to gravitate toward this one. Another bonus is the vibration reduction. I've hand held this lens for as long as ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-24 Summary: Expensive but... excellent quality all around ... I bought this as an upgrade to my existing 18-55 lens. Not a professional photographer but I have been working photos since Photoshop version 2.5 and I know a good shot when I see it. My 18-55 really did a nice job considering the cost and size. When I got the 17-55, first thing I did was try to setup something to compare both lenses. I did a hand-held shot of a grouping of fallen leaves with both lenses sans filters at same apertures and focal lengths. The shutter speed ended up being just slightly different due to ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-05 Summary: Stunning lens on my D700 ... I bought this lens about 2 years ago and have been using it on my D200. It's sharp. It's light. It's a lens that, if I drop it, I'll live. But the comments that it is rather slow in dim light are fair, and I've been saving for the 70-200 2.8 zoom. Rather than replace the lens, though, I fell in love with the D700. That CAMERA is so fast and so good at high ISO's -- crystal clear at 1600 -- it's like the lens just got 4 stops faster! Suddenly, the 5.6 f/stop (at the long end) is the equivalent of 2.8. At the short end, ...more
