New Lens



This is the new lens that I recently purchased. It is a Nikon AF-S DX NIKKOR 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED Lens. Focus is quick and sharp on this lens. It was introduced first in July 2003, so not a new lens. For those of you still thinking in analog terms, 17mm in digital is only about a 26mm lens in 35mm - so not an extremely wide angle lens.

Technical specifications: Focal Length: 17-55mm, Maximum Aperture: f/2.8, Lens Construction: 14 elements in 10 groups, Lens Drive: Silent Wave Motor, Minimum Shooting Distance: 14.2 in. to infinity, Minimum F stop: 22, Filter Size: 77mm, Dimensions: Approx. 3.4 x 4.4 inches, Weight: Approx. 26.6 oz.
