Some lenses are impossible to dislike, and this is certainly one of them. There's a lot to like about the design engineers' decisions and they have provided a lens that is a clear photographer's lens and also a clear Editor's Choice. The 150mm length is long enough to be useful, but not so long that it increases the bulk of the lens too much. It handles beautifully and delivers the goods in terms of quality. The Tamron 35-150mm f/2.8-4 Di VC OSD is another great lens from Tamron. If it's the latter, please do add your comments below on new lenses you'd like us to review and we'll do our best to oblige. If you don't see your favourite lens here there could be two reasons for it: one, it didn't score high enough or two, we've not reviewed it yet. Choose used and get affordable access to kit that doesn’t cost the earth.

We've also put together a top list of Canon-branded lenses you should take a look at so you get a complete picture of what's available before parting with any hard-earned cash. Plus, as well as being reasonably priced and offering excellent levels of performance, third-party lenses also fill gaps in the market so you're more likely to find a not-so-common focal length in a third-party lens.īelow you'll find lenses by well-known brands such as Tamron, ZEISS, Irix and Samyang and they can be used to shoot a variety of subjects including macro, portraits, wildlife and landscapes. Third-party lenses are simply ones that aren't made by the same company that made your camera but when purchased in the correct mount, will fit your camera of choice. In our list, you'll find the top-scoring third-party Canon EF/EF-S lenses that ePHOTOzine has reviewed to date. If you're a Canon shooter looking for a reasonably priced EF/EF-S lens that doesn't compromise on image quality then you've come to the right place.
