Oui merci j'étais allé voir. Mais photozone ne donne pas un avantage net au 17-55 pour le critère qualités-optiques: 3 * chacun sur 5! Quant aux performances sur mires, je me demande si NX2 ne corrige pas suffisamment? En revanche le piqué, la rapidité AF etc. Il y a bien certes des différences en faveur du 17-55... Ceci écrit 15 cm à 2m non c'est pas trop grand... Je trouve déjà que la PDC en numérique est tranchante, mince, et ne pardonne pas... Ceci dit, merci de ton avis qui me conforte dans ce que j'écrivais: ne pas changer mon 17-55.

PS:
"il est à F5 à 50 mm. Une PdC d'environ 15cm à 2m" tu veux dire que le 16-85VR à 50 mm offre une PDC de 15 cm à f5 pour un sujet à 2m du boîtier?

Photozone dixit:
Verdict: The Nikkor AF-S 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED DX is a professional grade lens and it certainly shows up regarding its exceptionally high build quality as well as very fast AF speed. Optically it is, without doubt, a very good lens but it has a few issues. The center performance is nothing short of stellar but the borders are a little worse than desirable at 24mm @ f/2.8 and at 55mm (for such a lens). The level of CAs, distortions as well as vignetting is quite typical for a lens in this class but then thing aren't substantially better either. So all-in-all there may be a few question marks regarding the price/performance ratio of this lens. It simply lacks the greatness suggested by its price tag.

Verdict: The Sigma AF 17-70mm f/2.8-4.5 DC is a very good standard zoom and a viable alternative to the Nikon offerings in this range. Generally it is capable to produce very sharp results although the corner performance leaves a bit to be desired at 17mm at large aperture settings. The vignetting level could also be a bit better here but most competitors don't offer a f/2.8 settings anyway and from f/4 it follows the mainstream. The level of distortions is about typical for a standard zoom whereas chromatic aberrations (color shadows) are comparatively low. The build quality is very fine for a lens in this price league.
