Why we recommend this

Weighing just 155g and measuring 1.6 inches long, this full-frame zoom uses three aspherical, two ED, and one ultra-high refractive element for corner-to-corner sharpness. Weather sealing and fluorine coating resist dust and splashes, while suppressed focus breathing and the 120mm Hybrid Zoom with an S9 body cater to video. Best for travel photographers needing an ultra-light wide-to-normal lens, with capable macro and landscape performance.

Why we recommend this

Its 114-degree angle of view and constant f/4 aperture across the 7-14mm zoom range deliver consistent exposure for expansive scenes, aided by a 16-element optical design with four ED elements to suppress distortion. The compact 300g build and multi-coated optics effectively minimize ghosting and flare, making it a practical, portable ultra-wide solution. This lens is best for Micro Four Thirds shooters focused on landscape and travel photography who need a rectilinear wide-angle zoom in a lightweight package.
