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

The bright f/1.7 maximum aperture and Nano Surface Coating deliver strong low-light performance and contrast on a 50mm equivalent field of view. Weighing just 125g, this lens is an ultra-portable option that pairs a stepping AF motor for smooth, silent video focus with a budget-friendly price. It is best for Micro Four Thirds street photographers and beginners wanting a fast, normal prime without adding bulk to their setup.
