Best Pick

Nikon NIKKOR AF-S FX NIKKOR 17-35mm f/2.8D IF-ED 17-35mm

62.4 Macro Score
17-35mm f/2.8 Nikon F (FX)
Why we recommend this

A constant f/2.8 aperture across the 17-35mm zoom range, combined with 3 aspherical and 2 ED elements, delivers edge-to-edge sharpness and controlled distortion. Its 9-blade rounded diaphragm creates smooth background blur, and the Silent Wave Motor autofocus is fast and nearly silent. Best suited for landscape and interior photographers using full-frame Nikon DSLRs who need a rugged, consistent ultra-wide lens.
