Why we recommend this

A 24-240mm 10x zoom with 5-stop stabilization and Nano USM autofocus delivers full-frame versatility in a travel-ready 750g package. Smooth, quiet AF handles both photo sequences and professional-looking video focus pulls, while the lockable zoom ring adds handling security across the range. This lens is best for travel photographers and hybrid EOS R shooters who need a single lightweight optic for wide landscapes, portraits, and distant action.

Laowa Argus 35mm f/0.95 35mm

34.4 Professional Score
35mmf/16Canon RF
Why we recommend this ▼

The f/0.95 maximum aperture delivers extreme low-light capability and shallow depth of field on full-frame Canon RF bodies, supported by a 15-blade diaphragm for smooth bokeh. Its all-metal, durable build and selectable clicked/de-clicked aperture ring add tactile, precise control for both stills and video work. This lens is best for portrait and street photographers who prioritize manual focus and dreamy background separation over autofocus convenience.
