Nikon NIKKOR 12-24mm f/4G IF-ED 12-24mm

79 Score
12-24mm f/4 Nikon F
Why we recommend this

This ultra-wide 12-24mm zoom maintains a constant f/4 aperture across the range, weighs just 106g, and uses a Silent Wave Motor for quiet autofocus. Three aspherical and two ED elements reduce chromatic aberrations and flare for consistent color and contrast. It is best suited for landscape and architectural photographers who need a lightweight, compact wide-angle with reliable optics and fast focus.

Sigma Art 50-100mm f/1.8 DC HSM 50-100mm

63.8 Score
50-100mm 16 Nikon F
Why we recommend this ▼

A constant f/1.8 aperture across a 50-100mm zoom range on APS-C delivers a bright telephoto equivalent of 80-160mm, with four ED elements and HSM autofocus. Its professional-grade resolution and robust build make it a standout for crop-sensor systems, though it lacks stabilization and weather sealing. Best for sports and portrait photographers on APS-C bodies who need fast aperture in a telephoto zoom without switching to full frame.
