I have yet to see this lens being mentioned in here, nor can I find this using the search function. Is it unpopular here?
Any comments, cause I'm considering getting one and need some opinions. Thanks!
True, the weight is really bothersome and together with the body, it will probably weight around 1.8~1.9kg. Phew!
But how does it compare to prime lenses of the focal lengths that is supposed to cover? I would aim to get the Nikkor 12~24 mm, this 28mm~70mm and then 70~200mm to cover me from 12~200 mm, except 24~28mm but shuffling around for that 4mm should be fine.
My only concern is that the 28-70mm cannot effectively replace the 28mm f/2.8D, 35mm f/2D and 50mm f/1.4D in terms of image quality.
28-70 f2.8 focusing speed & accuracy is unrivalled.:thumbsup: not to mention extremely low distortion.
try out one & u will know what i'm talking about.;p
What about comparing the 28-70 vs the 17-55 across the same focal range? The latter gives me the extra width but what about the 35mm and 50mm performance?

I guess with the 17-55mm, I will probably be able to use for landscape, architecture, events, potraits and that's good enough!
