Here is what the site says about that.

From Nikon AF-S DX 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED: Nikon AF-S DX 17-55mm f/2.8G IF-ED: A zoom lens by Nikon for APS-C cameras, 17-55mm f/2.8. Nikon's pro DX standard zoom: big and heavy. Specs - Maker: Nikon - Focal length: 17-55mm (zoom) - Maximum aperture: f/2.8 - Made for: APS-C sensors - Mounts: Nikon F - Stabilised: no - Autofocus: yes What it frames like - On APS-C (Nikon F): like 26-82mm on full frame; f/2.8 gives about the depth of field of f/4.2 there. ...

From Sensor sizes: Is full frame worth it?: For low light, events, and portraits with very shallow depth of field, yes. For travel, street, wildlife on a budget, and most hobby photography, a good APS-C camera with good lenses is enough, and you'll carry it more. Lenses and light matter more than the last stop of sensor performance.
