Pro photographers using the Nikon Z mirrorless system will be happy with the Nikkor Z 70-200mm F2.8 VR S lens, but will pay a premium for the privilege.

The Nikon Nikkor Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR is one of the better starter zoom lenses we've seen, but you should definitely buy it along with a camera to save some money.

The Sony FE 28-60mm F4-5.6 is the first truly small zoom for a7 full-frame cameras. It delivers crisp images in a compact form factor, but uses a relatively small f-stop to get there.

The 2022 version of Leica's Summilux-M 35mm F1.4 ASPH. lens retains the distinct character of previous iterations, but stands out because of its close-up focus capabilities and integrated hood.

Conclusions The Leica Vario-Elmarit-SL 24-90mm f/2.8-4 ASPH. is a versatile lens. It covers a longer zoom range than other wide zooms that start at f/2.8, delivers acceptably crisp results (especially for a zoom), shows very little distortion, and can...

The Burnside 35 stands out thanks to its Petzval-like bokeh and vignette-enabling effect slider, offering a level of control simply not found elsewhere (the Lomography Petzval 58 has a bokeh control ring, which is about the closest thing we could find...

Nikon makes some pretty spectacular DX (APS-C) format DSLRs, like the D7500 and D500. If you’re lucky enough to have one, it’s only natural that you’d want a high-performance standard zoom to match. The AF-S DX 16-80mm ticks almost all of the right...

24-105 mm or 24-120 mm lenses are quite widespread in different full frame systems. Even though their aperture fastness is worse than that of classic 24-70 mm f/2.8 instruments they are able to provide a wider focal range so they are all purpose,...

This is one of the best portrait lenses I've used. My all time favourite the Canon 135mm L (on a full frame body) does produce slightly more blurred out of focus areas however the bokeh from the fuji is excellent and I find the focus to be much more...

An excellent lens for portrait, product, street and similar standard-lens photography uses where you want to inject a little creative twist, the Lensbaby Velvet 56 adds that bit of something extra.

Conclusions The Pentax HD D FA 28-105mm F3.5-5.6ED DC WR is a pretty standard example of a starter zoom lens. It delivers strong sharpness throughout most of the frame, but sacrifices edge performance and distortion control in order to achieve a 3.75x...

This is a pretty good camera bag – generously sized for the stated dimensions, and extremely lightweight. However, it lacks some features you might want on a camera bag, such as internal pockets / compartments (there are none), raincover, and a...

OK as long as you accept the limitations of mirror lenses - poor contrast and low definition versus glass lenses. Works as described and is light and small enough to carry

The Rokinon 100mm F2.8 ED UMC Full Frame Telephoto Macro ($599) comes in at an attractive price point when compared with many other autofocus macro lenses of similar focal lengths, and it's plenty sharp, especially at the narrower apertures used to...

But the Nokton is three times the cost of the Olympus M.Zuiko 25mm f1.8. If you're in want of a standard-angle lens for a Micro Four Thirds camera, the Olympus is our pick as Editors' Choice. It's incredibly sharp, compact, and fairly light. It won't...

Amazing lens and compliments Pentax's New K1 camera perfectly ! the sharpness from it is simply amazing this version also comes with the auto aperture control pin which I did not expect. The lens is quite heavy, but I suppose that's the price you pay...

The Sigma 24-35mm F2 DG HSM Art ($999) is the first full-frame zoom lens with a fixed f/2 aperture throughout its range. That means it captures a lot of light—twice as much when shot wide open compared with an f/2.8 zoom—and can shoot images with a...
