Product Description

Designed as a DX workhorse, the Nikon AF-S 17-55mm f/2.8G IF ED is a 25.5-82.5mm-equivalent zoom characterized by its bright maximum aperture and sophisticated optical design. The fast f/2.8 constant maximum aperture benefits working in difficult lighting conditions and also enables greater control over depth of field when working with selective focus techniques. The optical design incorporates three aspherical elements and three extra-low dispersion elements, which help to greatly reduce spherical and chromatic aberrations throughout the zoom range. A Super Integrated Coating also minimizes surface reflections, flare, and ghosting for improved contrast and colour accuracy. Complementing the optics, this lens also sports a Silent Wave Motor for fast and accurate autofocus along with full-time manual focus control.


Key Features of the Nikon AF-S 17-55mm f/2.8G IF ED

  • F-Mount Lens/DX Format
  • 25.5-82.5mm (35mm Equivalent)
  • Aperture Range: f/2.8 to f/22
  • Three Aspherical and Three ED Elements
  • Super Integrated Coating

Designed for Nikon F-mount DX-format cameras

Standard zoom covers wide-angle to portrait-length focal lengths and is designed for Nikon F-mount DX-format cameras, where it provides a 25.5-82.5mm-equivalent range

Bright constant f/2.8 maximum aperture

Bright constant f/2.8 maximum aperture affords consistent illumination throughout the zoom range and also affords greater control over depth of field for working with selective focus techniques

Three aspherical elements

Three aspherical elements are used to reduce spherical aberrations and distortion in order to realize sharp imagery with accurate rendering

Three extra-low dispersion elements

Three extra-low dispersion elements greatly reduce colour fringing and chromatic aberrations in order to produce greater clarity and colour accuracy

Super Integrated Coating

A Super Integrated Coating has been applied to individual elements to suppress internal reflections, flare, and ghosting for improved contrast and colour accuracy when working in strong lighting conditions

Rounded nine-blade diaphragm

Rounded nine-blade diaphragm promotes a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques

Silent Wave Motor

Silent Wave Motor affords quick, quiet, and precise autofocus performance along with full-time manual focus override. An internal focusing design is also used, where only the internal lens groups are moved during focusing, to maintain the overall length of the lens during use and to promote faster-focusing speeds
