Sony FE PZ 16 35mm f/4 G Lens Focal length: 16-35mm

Sony FE 24-50mm f/2.8 G Lens

Sony says this lens is specifically designed for photographers whose top priority is a bright, constant aperture, and at f/2.8 this will be perfect for those shooting indoors and closer to their subjects. The aperture mechanism is made up of 11 blades, which provides a consistently rounded bokeh effect across the frame, smoothly rolling off from the focused to defocused parts of the shot. Its lightweight and fast-focusing linear motors make it an ideal lens for gimbal video work.

Focal length: 24-50mm Aperture: f/2.8 Weight: 440g

Aperture: f/4 Weight: 353g

The world’s lightest full-frame f/4 wide-angle power-zoom lens gives photographers and videographers refined control in a portable package that can capture the beauty of landscapes no matter how remote. The power-zoom system uses four linear motors for quick and smooth zooming and autofocus, while specially designed lens elements suppress distortion and aberration for sharp images corner to corner. It’s all packed into a dust- and moisture-resistant shell to keep it protected outdoors.

Sony FE 24-70mm f/2.8 GM2 Lens Focal length: 24-70mm

Aperture: f/2.8 Weight: 695g

Also from Sony, this lens ups the game with a wider range of focal lengths. Images will come out crystal clear thanks to a series of elements that correct for a range of distortions, as well as a Nano AR Coating II that reduces flare and ghosting. An improved aperture unit provides precise autofocus, including tracking fast-moving subjects while shooting video.

Nikon Nikkor Z 135mm f/1.8 S Plena Lens Focal length: 135mm

This high-end lens can do it all, boasting a very long focal length and a wide aperture. That makes it excel at capturing detail, right down to the fine nuances of skin and hair, as well as beautiful bokeh. Perfect point-image reproduction is ideal for landscapes and night shots, while specialty coatings reduce ghosting and flares for great images even under harsh sunlight or strong backlighting. It’s all packaged in an elegant shell that looks as good as it shoots.

Aperture: f/1.8 Weight: 995g
