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

60.1 Professional 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

54.9 Professional 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.

Nikon PC-E NIKKOR 24mm f/3.5D ED 24mm

24.7 Professional Score
24mm 32 Nikon F
Why we recommend this ▼

The 24mm focal length combined with +/- 11.5mm shift and +/- 8.5° tilt provides precise perspective control for architecture, while three ED and three aspherical elements with Nano Crystal Coat suppress distortion and flare. Its 1:2.7 maximum magnification and close-range correction system deliver sharp macro performance uncommon in a wide tilt-shift lens. This manual-focus optic is best for architectural photographers and product shooters needing full-frame Nikon F-mount movements without digital correction.
