#4
The Nikon 17-35mm f2.8 is quite a good lens, very typical for its kind (full frame UWA). It is pretty similar in qualities to its peers: Nikon AF-S 16-35mm f4 VR, Canon EF 17-40mm f4 L USM, Canon EF 16-35mm f2.8 L USM II and Sony/Zeiss T* 16-35mm f2.8 SSM.



It is a well liked lens in general, and has one advantage over the 16-35mm f4 VR: It has a lot less pronounced "barrel" distortion.



How the announced Tokina FF UWA zoom will perform is not known yet, but it might be a good one.



If I had a Nikon FF camera, and I would come across a relatively affordable 17-35mm f2.8 (and I would be in the market for a good UWA zoom for wider landscape/cityscape stuff), I would not hesitate to buy it.



If I used would need one for the occasional big DOF shot, I would also not hesitate to get the ridiculously cheap but quite good stopped down to f8 Tokina 19-35mm (not in production anymore).
