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

69.1 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.

Nikon NIKKOR Z 400mm f/2.8 TC VR S 400mm

48.2 Score
400mm 22 Nikon F IS Weather Sealed
Why we recommend this

Fluorite and ED glass combined with a fast f/2.8 aperture deliver sharp, contrast-rich telephoto images, while the 5.5-stop VR system keeps the 3801g lens handheld-ready. Weather sealing and a fluorine-coated front element protect the optics in harsh conditions, and the 9-blade diaphragm renders smooth out-of-focus backgrounds. This lens is ideal for sports and wildlife photographers using Nikon F-mount DSLRs who require dependable AF-S autofocus and rugged build quality.
