The AF-S DX Zoom-Nikkor 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED significantly expands the range of DX-Nikkor lenses and is expected to become the standard lens for Nikon digital SLR camera users. By virtue of being DX-Nikkor, designed exclusively for DX-format image sensors in Nikon's digital SLR cameras, this new lens is not only compact and light-weight, but also offers outstanding edge-to-edge sharpness and image quality. The Nikon's first constant f/2.8 3.2x zoom lens developed exclusively for use with Nikon DX Format 3.2x zoom covers from a wide angle of 79-degrees to a narrow angle of 28-degrees 50' (equivalent to 25.5mm to 85.5mm for 35mm format) and is ideal for architecture, landscape, groups shots and portraits. DX design enables a combination of wider angle-of-view with optical characteristics that are optimized for Nikon digital SLR camera sensors Nikon DX design produces a smaller image circle (the size of the image that is projected by the lens on to the sensor) enabling smaller lens diameter, lighter weight and optimal image quality from center-to edge-to-corner on the image 3 Extra-Low Dispersion (ED) glass elements for minimized chromatic aberration and provide higher resolution and superior contrast 3 Aspherical lens elements for minimized distortion Lightweight and compact design: similar to 17-35mm f/2.8 lens Exclusive Silent Wave Motor enables ultra-high-speed autofocusing with exceptional accuracy and powerful super-quiet operation [M/A] and [M] modes allow rapid switching between AF and MF operation Internal Focusing (IF) design for smoother focusing and great body balance Nikon D-type design provides precise distance information for flash and ambient light exposure processes Rounded diaphragm to make out-of-focus elements appear more natural G Type DX Nikkor is designed exclusively for use with Nikon Digital SLR models Fully Compatible with D1, D1X, D1H, D2H and D100 Select a Protection Plan
