10-22mm22-27Canon EF-S
Why we recommend this

With an ultra-wide 10-22mm zoom (16-35mm equivalent) and a fast, quiet ring-type USM autofocus, this lens weighs just 385g, making it ideal for travel. Its 3 aspherical elements and 1 Super-UD element deliver sharp, detailed images across the frame, though the f/3.5-4.5 aperture limits low-light performance. Best for landscape and travel photographers seeking a compact, high-optics wide-angle zoom for Canon APS-C bodies.

Samyang 135mm f/2.0 ED UMC 135mm

33.7 Budget Score
135mmf/22Canon EF
Why we recommend this

The f/2.0 aperture and ED glass element produce sharp subject isolation with smooth, circular bokeh from its 9-blade diaphragm. Its built-in AE chip enables auto metering on Nikon bodies despite being a manual focus lens, and the Ultra Multi-Coating effectively suppresses flare. This lens is best for portrait photographers seeking a 135mm focal length with fast aperture rendering at a budget-conscious price.
