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.

Why we recommend this ▼

Its constant f/2.8 aperture and 15-element optical design prioritize high contrast and rich color gradation, making it particularly suited for landscape and black-and-white work on full-frame DSLRs. The focus ring’s rotation direction matches proprietary Canon and Nikon lenses, while the 939g build features a balanced, slim housing for confident handling. This lens is best for landscape and architecture photographers using Canon or Nikon full-frame DSLRs who need high contrast and precise control, but not for travel due to its weight.

Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO 100mm

33.8 Street Score
100mmf/22Canon EF
Why we recommend this ▼

The apochromatic design with two extra-low dispersion elements eliminates color fringing for exceptional clarity at its unique 2:1 maximum magnification, far exceeding typical 1:1 macro lenses. Its all-metal, manual-focus-only build provides a precise, dampened focus throw that is essential for critical close-up work, though it lacks any electronic communication or stabilization. This lens is best for dedicated macro photographers shooting extreme close-ups of insects or textures who prioritize optical purity and magnification over autofocus convenience.
