★★★★☆ 4.4 (58)

The 17-35mm f/2.8-4 Di OSD combines a bright f/2.8 aperture at 17mm with a lightweight 460g body, weather sealing, and a fluorine-coated front element. Its OSD motor delivers silent autofocus ideal for video, and compatibility with the Tap-in Console allows for easy firmware adjustments. This lens serves Nikon F-mount travel and portrait photographers who prioritize portability and weather resistance over critical landscape sharpness.
