Canon EF EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM 16-35mm

57.9 Portrait Score
16-35mm 22 Canon EF IS Weather Sealed
Why we recommend this

The constant f/4 aperture and 4-stop Optical Image Stabilizer deliver sharp, consistent results across the 16-35mm focal range. Weather-sealed construction with fluorine coatings and a lightweight 21.7oz body make it rugged yet portable for on-the-go shooting. It's best for landscape and wildlife photographers who value a weather-resistant wide-angle zoom with fast, quiet autofocus.

Canon L EF 50mm f/1.2L USM 50mm

57.8 Portrait Score
50mm 16 Canon EF Weather Sealed
Why we recommend this ▼

The EF 50mm f/1.2L stands out with its ultra-bright f/1.2 aperture, weather-sealed L-series build, and ring-type USM autofocus for precise low-light focusing. Its bundled accessories—including a backpack and filter kit—make it a complete starter package, while the aspherical and ED elements ensure edge-to-edge sharpness. This lens is best for street and portrait photographers who need maximum light gathering and smooth bokeh, reflected in its 94.5/100 street and 91.4/100 portrait scores.
