Well the second lens I bought for my D1 was the 18-35 f3.5-4.5. Back in about 2006? It has been a stalwart member of my lens collection, finally being completely unleashed on the D3.

It's quite light and I find the images it produces are perfectly acceptable. It even has AF, which is quite a novelty for me! I don't believe there is a great deal of difference between the 17-35 f2.8 and the 18-35 f3.5-4.5, except weight and a stop or so. With the current modern cameras one stop isn't an issue, but lighter might be good for you?

I took this with it a couple of nights ago, D3, Nikkor 18-35mm f3.5-4.5, 28mm, 5 seconds at f5.6, ISO800



Also, D3, Nikkor 18-35mm f3.5-4.5, 35mm, 10 seconds at f4.5, ISO800. I purposely reduced saturation in this picture with the intention of better conveying the lateness of the hour, 01:04 Hrs. Apart from the stars it looked like daylight! It was of course the Harvest Moon, full.
