Nikon 17-55 F2.8
Strengths: Good build quality & result
Weakness: Price
Nikon's best mid-range zoom for digital SLRs. Fast focusing. Image quality is amazing. Good for travel and wedding (low light).
The only other drawback is the price but you will get what you paying for (to every cent)Guarantied.

Nikon 17-55 DX
Strengths: Great lens. Fast Lens. Silent Auto focus. Sharp corner to corner. Good focal range. nikon 5 year warranty.
Weakness: A little heavy. A little pricey.
Overall I love this lens. Great Nikon quality.
Just be careful on Nikon's extended 4 year warranty.
I ordered lens and had it shipped to a family member in
another state. I did not pick up lens until 2 weeks
after lens was delivered. Extended Nikon 4 year warranty calls for warranty card to be mailed not more than
10 days after purchase date. What kind of B* is this ?

Nikon 17-55mm F2.8 ED-IF DX Autofocus Lens
Strengths: Build Quality, Wide Angel, Sharpness, Picture Quality

Nikkor 17-55mm F/2.8G AF-S IF ED
Strengths: Sharp picture, useful zoom range for landscape/portret photography, optics quality
Weakness: Zoom ring too close to SLR body, big & heavy, price is steep
This lens has replaced my 18-70 DX lens (which is smaller and lighter) from my starter kit. This beast is quite big and heavy: have to search for a bigger photo bag. However, quality of image, focusing and build quality is excellent. My only complain is unusual location of zoom ring: it is next to SLR body which is different from my other lenses and harder to grip. I find it not very convenient.

Not your typical lens
Strengths: Low-light focusing ability, all-metal construction, solid feel
Weakness: Price, near object focus
This lens is Nikon's flagship mid-range zoom for digital SLRs. It's super FAST and amazingly quick to focus- unless the object is close (less than 1ft). The image quality is amazing and is crisp from edge to edge. The sweet spot of the lens is in the f/4 to f/8 range. Fully open, it gives AMAZING results- you need daylight though. I've paired this with my D200 and I couldn't be happier. The only...
