[QUOTE="stmv, post: 135763, member: 10038"] I think that Nikkor has never been black and white on pro versus not Pro, That said, there is definitely variation in build and quality, and often seems linked to the speed of the lens. Here is a nice document from Nikon listing all the lens [URL]http://imaging.nikon.com/lineup/lens/pdf/nikkor_lenses.pdf[/URL] As you can see, Nikkor is more interested in filling in the focal ranges/speed, and not to describe on as professional and the other amatuer,, but more here are the features,, and price point, and let the end user decide the lens required.. unlike Canon,, with their color rings of quality. I guess, I kinda like the Nikon method better, and I think over time,, lens become considered professional such as the 17-35,, course ,, no one could ever call the 18-55 DX professional and no one can doupt that the 14-24 is pro quality but there are a lot of middle ground where it gets murky.
