Friends,

I have 1 question
For a DX user, which lens more suitable?

Nikon 24-70mm f/2.8G (FX)
Nikon 17-55mm f/2.8G (DX)

Difference by 1k...

For those who got BOTH shocking.gif lens, really appreciate your advice!!

17-55, 2470 range would be not tele and not wide enough kinda condition.

This subject has been debated a lot here recently and on the internet.

The thing is it depends on what you want to do. What lenses do you already have? What kind of photography are you into? Events / wedding day? If yes, the 17-55 is more favoured on the DX body.

Yeah, for those who is confused to choose which one. Just take it like this.

17-55 is the "24-70" of DX.
24-70 is the "17-55" of FX.

Your choice is fully depending on which body you are using.

I was at your position few weeks back and I made the choice for 17-55 instead of 24-70, that's mainly because I'm on DX which the effective focal length after 1.5x factor is 25.5-82.5 (17-55) and 36-105 (24-70).

I need wide coverage for the photos I'm shooting hence I made it to 17-55 as I find 24-70 is kind of tight after my experience with the kit lens 18-105 smile.gif

Thanks to all of your advice.
Anybody here got both lens? (angkat tangan)

Well I am ok of the calculation.
More interested to know the quality and sharpness ..

I am not event or wedding photography, more on hobby shooting indoor speedy gonzales (kids runing at home).
As for discussion
i think the 24-70 (2007 design) and 17-55 (2004 design)
any newer replacement version coming out?
