Nikon Nikkor Z 24-120mm F4 S Review

4.5
Editors' Choice

The Nikon Nikkor Z 24-120mm F4 S provides excellent optical performance for detailed images with defocused backgrounds and focused close-ups for macros. It's among the best zoom lenses you can get for a Nikon Z camera.

The Nikon Nikkor Z DX 50-250mm F4.5-6.3 VR lens delivers better picture quality than you'd expect from a budget-friendly telezoom.

Nikon Nikkor Z DX 18-140mm F3.5-6.3 VR Review

3.5

The Nikon Nikkor Z DX 18-140mm F3.5-6.3 VR lens offers more zoom power and better macro focus than the bare-bones Z DX 16-50mm kit zoom, though it doesn't up the build quality or offer the bright aperture enthusiasts crave.

Nikon Nikkor Z MC 50mm F2.8 Review

3.5

The Nikon Nikkor Z MC 50mm F2.8 is a capable prime lens for close-ups and macros, but it's not a standout optic like the Nikkor 105mm MC.

Nikon Nikkor Z 28mm F2.8 (SE) Review

4.0

The Nikon Nikkor Z 28mm F2.8 lens sacrifices a bit of build quality to meet a reasonable asking price, but it captures pleasing images and offers lots of value.

Nikon Nikkor Z 40mm F2 Review

3.5

The affordable, background-blurring Nikon Nikkor Z 40mm F2 lens focuses a bit slowly, but we like the characterful look of its images.

Fujifilm Fujinon XF 150-600mm F5.6-8 R LM OIS WR Review

4.5
Editors' Choice

The Fujifilm XF 150-600mm F5.6-8 R LM OIS WR should please X System sports and wildlife specialists with its all-weather construction, internal zoom design, and tip-top image quality.

Fujifilm Fujinon XF 16-55mm F2.8 R LM WR Review

3.5

The Fujifilm XF 16-55mm F2.8 R WR delivers strong optical performance and an all-weather build, but it doesn't have the on-barrel controls we've come to expect from premium lenses.

Canon RF-S 18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM Review

4.0

The Canon RF-S 18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM midrange zoom offers plenty of range, good macro capabilities, and speedy autofocus performance for photographers with a crop-sensor EOS R mirrorless camera.

Canon RF-S 18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM Review

3.5

The Canon RF-S 18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM is a downright tiny zoom that delivers competent image quality for newcomers to the system, but it won't please more serious shutterbugs.

Sony FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSS Review

4.0

The Sony FE 200-600mm F5.6-6.3 G OSS is a premium zoom lens. Its focal length is an ideal fit for wildlife and sports specialists, and an internal zoom design sets it apart from lesser-priced alternatives.

Tamron 70-180mm F2.8 Di III VXD Review

4.0

The Tamron 70-180mm F2.8 Di III VXD lens cuts a little bit of zoom power and drops stabilization, but costs less than half of what Sony charges for its 70-200mm F2.8 GM.

Sigma 20mm F1.4 DG DN Art Review

4.5
Editors' Choice

The Sigma 20mm F1.4 DG DN Art's wide angle of view, well-corrected optical formula, and down-to-earth price makes it an ideal lens for creators, particularly astrophotograhpers.

Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG DN Art Review

4.0
Editors' Choice

The Sigma 24mm F1.4 DG DN Art lens produces exceptional images, focuses quickly, and features substantial weather protection, all for about half the price of name-brand alternatives.

Fujifilm Fujinon XF 10-24mm F4 R OIS WR Review

4.0

The Fujifilm Fujinon XF 10-24mm F4 R OIS WR lens adds the weather protection missing from the original, but doesn't change the optics.

By Jim Fisher

Fujifilm Fujinon XF 18mm F1.4 R LM WR Review

4.0

The Fujifilm Fujinon XF 18mm F1.4 R LM WR is a fantastic prime lens for fans of moderately wide views, and we especially like its weather-protected build.

By Jim Fisher

Fujifilm Fujinon XF 33mm F1.4 R LM WR Review

3.5

The Fujifilm Fujinon XF 33mm F1.4 R LM WR snaps photos with incredible detail and softly defocused backgrounds, but focus performance and on-lens controls don't quite live up to its premium positioning.

By Jim Fisher

Fujifilm Fujinon XF 23mm F1.4 R LM WR Review

4.0
Editors' Choice

The Fujifilm Fujinon XF 23mm F1.4 R LM WR sports a fresh optical formula that nets stunning image quality on newer cameras, along with the weather sealing that was missing from the original version of the lens.

4.0
Editors' Choice

Tamron's 17-70mm F2.8 Di III-A VC RXD lens nets shots with blurred backgrounds and outstanding sharpness on both Fujifilm and Sony APS-C mirrorless cameras.

Sigma 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary Review

4.5
Editors' Choice

The affordable, bright, and wide Sigma 16-28mm F2.8 DG DN Contemporary zoom has no equivalent in the L-mount system and outperforms the Sony E-mount competition.
