Camera Lens Reviews
Choosing the right camera lens is of the utmost important. Luckily, Digital Trends’ expert reviews will help you choose a model based on rating, focal length, and a variety of other metrics.
Olympus M.Zuiko ED 12-45mm F4.0 Pro review: Small, but sturdy
Is a narrower aperture worth creating a smaller, cheaper lens? The Olympus M.Zuiko ED 12-45mm F4.0 Pro is a lightweight weather-sealed lens that's ideal for all-day shoots. The lens is capable of capturing some sharp images with minimal distortion. The narrower f/4 aperture, however, isn't for everyone.
Tamron’s 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 superzoom beats expectations
Lightweight and bright, Tamron's superzoom lens for Sony E-mount cameras is a great choice for hiking, camping, and travel — even if it's not the sharpest.
Sigma 20mm F1.4 Art review: More than a landscape lens
Released in 2015, Sigma's 20mm F1.4 Art faces new competition. With its combination of wide focal length and bright aperture, it remains the wide-angle to beat.
Nikon Nikkor Z 24mm f/1.8 review: Wide, sharp, and spectacular
The Nikon Nikkor Z 24mm f/1.8 S is the widest prime lens for Nikon's mirrorless series. Paired with a wide aperture, it's just as sharp and bright as the other Z-series primes we've tested, making it a versatile option for both landscape and portrait photography.
Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG DN Art review: A true work of art
Built specifically for mirrorless cameras and housed in a smaller, lighter body, this is the new fast ultra-wide to beat. With equal performance and nearly the same price as the original, Sigma's second 14-24mm F2.8 Art lens is a winner.
Sigma 35mm F1.2 Art review: Perfectly impractical
The Cybertruck of lenses, the Sigma 35mm F1.2 is about showing off as much as it is class-leading performance. It's bulky and heavy, but you won't find a better 35mm. Three aspherical elements, 11 aperture blades, and a weather-sealed build help this lens stand above the rest.
Sigma 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM review
Sigma's 18-35mm F1.8 DC HSM is a wide-aperture lens that delivers sharp image resolution. But a high price tag and short zoom makes it a niche lens that's not designed for all.
Sigma 85mm F1.4 DG HSM Art review
Sigma’s new 85mm Art is a solid portrait lens alternative to pricier name brand options, delivering great image quality, wide aperture, and minimal chromatic aberration.
Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 review
Sigma’s flagship super-telephoto zoom is made with advanced enthusiasts and working photographers in mind, offering an extensive range without sacrificing performance, ruggedness, or quality.
Sigma 135mm F1.8 DG HSM Art review
With a fast aperture, solid build quality, and incredible performance, Sigma has another winner on its hands in the 135mm F1.8 Art lens.
Lensbaby Velvet 85 review
Lensbaby’s Velvet 85 is a portrait lens without equal, combining a unique look with quality construction at a decent price.

Fujifilm XF 56mm F1.2 R APD review
It's rare, special, and makes great bokeh, but our Fujifilm XF 56mm F1.2 R APD review reveals that special isn't always better.
Lensbaby Sweet 80 review
Unlike standard lenses, the Lensbaby Sweet 80 is a different way to separate your subject from the background.
Olympus M.Zuiko 17mm F1.2 Pro review
The Olympus M.Zuiko 17mm F1.2 Pro is the best wide-angle Micro Four Thirds lens you can buy.
Olympus M.Zuiko 25mm F1.2 Pro review
The Olympus 25mm F1.2 Pro is a technically excellent lens that goes beyond objective image quality to become something special.
Olympus M.Zuiko 45mm F1.2 Pro review
At $1,200, the Olympus M.Zuiko 45mm F1.2 Pro might be expensive, but the premium price is matched by excellent performance. This lens sets a new standard for Micro Four Thirds.
Sigma 16mm F1.4 Contemporary review
At just $449, the Sigma 16mm F1.4 Contemporary is a fast, wide-angle lens for mirrorless cameras that won’t break the bank.
Lensbaby Burnside 35 review
Using a secondary aperture iris, the Burnside 35 lets you dial in a variable amount of vignetting independently of the main aperture. It’s like Instagram’s vignette slider for people who prefer to get it right in-camera.
Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 Art review
After a decade of standing uncontested, Nikon’s venerable 14-24mm f/2.8 finally has some very strong competition in the form of the Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 Art lens. It’s a lens for a small niche, but it could be the new ultra-wide zoom to beat.
Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 Art review
With no shortage of competition, it’s difficult for a 24-70mm f/2.8 lens to stand out these days. But thanks to a low price and optical image stabilization, the Sigma 24-70mm F2.8 Art offers exceptional value to enthusiasts and professionals while filling the role of a durable workhorse lens.
