Hi,

I was just wondering what Nikkor lenses would compare with the Canon L series lenses that are out there (for example the Canon 17-40 f4 and 70-200 f4 specifically). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Nikkor lenses with a constant aperture have a golden ring next to the front element. As constant aperture is a synonym for high quality, it would seem that that golden ring is reserved for high quality Nikkor lenses.

I would assume the AF-S VR Zoom-Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G IF-ED to be of at least equal quality as the Canon 70-200mm f/4L.

Likewise for the AF-S Zoom-Nikkor 17-35mm f/2.8D IF-ED in relation to the Canon 17-40 f/4L.

But I'm not sure.

Notice these Nikkor lenses are much faster (f/2.8) than their Canon counterparts you mention.
