Nikon NIKKOR AF-S NIKKOR 16-35mm f/4G ED VR

59.3 Wildlife/Sports Score
16-35mmf/4Nikon FIS
Why we recommend this

The constant f/4 aperture and Vibration Reduction offering up to 4 stops of compensation make this a versatile ultra-wide zoom for handheld shooting. Its Nano Crystal Coat and two ED glass elements effectively suppress flare and chromatic aberration, delivering sharp, clear images in a relatively lightweight 680g body. This lens is best for landscape and architecture photographers using Nikon full-frame DSLRs who need a flexible wide-angle zoom with a practical 77mm filter thread.

Sigma 106306 150mm

36.8 Wildlife/Sports Score
150mmf/2.8Nikon FIS
Why we recommend this ▼

The 150mm focal length combined with f/2.8 aperture and optical stabilization offers a 4-stop advantage for sharp handheld macro work, while three SLD elements correct aberrations for high contrast at 1:1 magnification. Its splash-proof construction and flat-field front element make it equally capable for precise copy work and weather-resistant field use. This lens is best for Nikon SLR photographers who need a dual-purpose tool for life-size insect macro and flattering facial portraits with a comfortable working distance.
