Best Pick

Panasonic LUMIX S S-R1840 18-40mm

50.5 Professional Score
18-40mm22-32L-MountWeather Sealed
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.

TTArtisan APS-C 50mm f/1.2 50mm

34.6 Professional Score
50mmf/16L-Mount
Why we recommend this ▼

The f/1.2 maximum aperture on this 50mm prime for APS-C sensors blurs busy backgrounds and isolates subjects clearly, while the 10 circular aperture blades enhance bokeh quality. Its aluminum body weighs only 330 grams, making it light for a lens with such a wide aperture, and the 7-element, 5-group optical design promotes sharpness and low distortion. This manual-focus lens suits portrait photographers who want a bright, compact prime for controlled shooting, though it is not ideal for macro work.
