Ambrosia or tripe, that is the question? Some like ambrosia and some like tripe, that is the answer.

The Nikon 17-55mm lens is uniquely excellent in a moderately usable focal length range. This lens violates the old aadage, "You pays your money and you takes your chances." Rather, you buy this lens and you get that for which you paid.
