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.

sigma 20mm f14 art review 9

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 f28 dg dn art review 4

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 f12 art review dg dn 2

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 focus full

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 1.4 DG HSM Art

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 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 24 feature

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 f28-art

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.
