Question for Jeff H.

How do you like that 17-35mm? I have a 24-85mm Nikon AFS, which I love, and I went ahead and got a Nikkor 14mm (WOW!!!!!). And, although I have the 17-35mm bracketed, it would fill in nicely between my other lenses, and I am just interested in your overall impression of the lens. You commented briefly before about it, but I wondered if you could expound a little?

Wow! That's me...

Ty, it is perhaps my favorite lens and spends the most time on my camera next to the 80-400mm VR. It is tremendously versatile. I use it for landscape shots, for baby pics to keep harmony in the family (and justify the camera and lens purchases), etc. Like all of the AFS lens, it focuses extremely rapidly, and with the ED glass and lens design, it is extremely sharp right to the edges, even wide open.

I'll make it simple...if I could own only one lens, this one would be it.
