Light is power: an overview of professional light zooms for full-frame cameras.

If you take photographs in a thoughtful manner, i.e. by analyzing the results, it does not take long to come to the conclusion that the optics are more important for image quality than the camera. The optics are at the beginning of the photographic process and largely determine the outcome. Any camera can only capture on its most advanced sensor what the lens projects onto it. there is no point in buying an expensive camera for a medium lens: a high resolution sensor like today’s Nikon D800/D800E, a record-breaker, can only justify the investment if it works with high quality lenses. Each of them will most likely cost you about the same as the camera, but otherwise it will be a waste of money you spent on the camera.

Sony

A photographic image has many visual qualities, and most of them are due to the characteristics of the lens, and a small remnant accounts for the shutter speed, tripod stability and, in exotic cases, the movement of the camera itself. The class of a lens is determined by the ability to consciously control the characteristics of the image – and, of course, the quality of that image. A good lens is a strategic, forward-looking investment. It’s not for nothing that photographers say: cameras change often, but optics are forever and by the way this is the main reason for many years of loyalty to a brand you once chose .

If you fall into maximalism, you should switch to a set of prime lenses, but this is, firstly, very expensive and, secondly, not always practical. For your favorite focal lengths it definitely makes sense to buy a couple of good fixes, but still, zoom lenses have long been mainstream, giving you much more freedom when shooting.

This review is dedicated to the best available zooms on the market today, or to be more specific, we’ve collected all the professional fast zooms for full frame cameras being manufactured and sold today.

In the professional world there is a long-established standard: aperture ratio is a zoom with a constant aperture ratio of F2.8, which does not vary at all the focal lengths of the zoom. They provide quite a lot of freedom in controlling the depth of field, and not only that – by changing the working aperture many of the image characteristics, plasticity and sharpness of the picture, the lens pattern also change significantly. All you have to do is try out the same scene at different apertures and look closely at the result to see what you mean.

Also long ago there was formed and a standard set of professional optics, which is necessary for every serious photographer to work with different subjects. It includes a “standard” zoom, usually a 24-70/2.8, a “portrait” telezoom 70-200/2.8 and a wide-angle with a range of about 16-35/2.8. With such a set you can solve most photographic problems.

In the film days, such a set was produced not only by every Big Five brand, but also by every leading independent manufacturer. Now that high-resolution sensors place exorbitant demands on photographic optics, getting tighter with each additional megapixel, independent manufacturers have stopped releasing most of their professional fast aperture zooms for the full frame, although they do offer variable aperture options for the APS-C sensor. So only the best examples remain in this class. Take a good look, maybe one of these will be the lens lens that you’ll remember for a long time.

Good shooting!

A newly released second version of Canon’s most versatile professional zoom lens, with a completely re-calculated optical design. This is a new generation optic designed to work with high-resolution sensors there are very few lenses of this level on the market today . Measurements show that the Canon EF 24-70/2.8L II outperforms all other modern zooms in terms of image quality. Exceptionally smooth image reproduction: all focal lengths, all apertures up to f/11 provide flawless images over the entire frame. There are 2 types of aspherical lens in the circuit, as well as UD and Super UD elements.

Wide-angle zooms are the most difficult to develop, and truly high image quality has only been achieved in this class of lenses in recent years. The second version of Canon’s professional “wide” zoom offers a much higher level of image quality than its predecessor in the L-series, with a more even image and not as much variation closer to the edges of the frame. Autofocus has also been improved: it is faster and quieter. The optical aberrations unavoidable in this class of lens are small enough.

Older version of Canon’s basic “portrait” zoom, without optical stabilizer. Although the newest model is superior to the old version by all accounts, the veteran of the brand line still on sale in stores, too, provides an excellent image – more than enough for someone who agrees to do without the stabilizer. But it costs almost half the price and weighs a little less. The optical system uses four low dispersion UD elements and the body is waterproof and dustproof.

A well-deserved veteran with proven image quality, rugged and reliable, and will still please the casual photographer with its amazing image while he’s saving up for a much more expensive modern version . You should check the compatibility of the lens before buying: the autofocus does not work with some amateur cameras.

Sigma’s bright-field standard EX-series zoom offers very good image quality at a reasonable price – two to three times cheaper than similar “native” lenses. Sure, the image “gives up” a little at the edges of the frame at an open aperture, but nothing is perfect, especially for the money. In addition, there are whole artistic trends in photography that use intentional vignetting and edge blurring so that every peculiarity can be creatively played with. If you close the aperture a bit, the image quality is quite at a professional level.

Monstrous lens that weighs almost a pound and is as long as your arm and covers the focal length range up to 500 mm ensuring a constant aperture of f/2.8. Designed, of course, for news agencies: Not many photographers can afford the price. The lens comes with a high-end double teleconverter that turns it into a 400-1000/5.6 megazoom.

Another zoom developed for Sony by Carl Zeiss. Wide-angle zooms are exceptionally difficult to calculate, and in this case the very good image quality in the center was achieved in part by a more compromised quality in the corners of the frame. However, you have to give credit where credit is due: Sony honestly warns that the lens is best used on APS-C format sensors. Like all Zeiss lenses, this model is exceptionally high quality and reliable. Autofocus is very fast, precise and almost silent. T*-coated for sharpness and contrast.

Moreover, this is a new generation lens, like its “counterpart” from Canon, and in terms of image quality it is only slightly inferior to “Canon”, surpassing similar lenses of all other companies. The stabilizer works effectively, allowing you to shoot at shutter speeds up to 1 second at wide angle with a high proportion of sharp shots.

As in the case of Canon and Nikon, the well-deserved and reliable “portrait” telezoom of the previous generation was not written off after the inevitable change, but moved to another, more budget class and continues to work. Advantages of the new optics are obvious, but the veteran lens has its strong points: it’s compact and lighter, can focus at a much shorter distance that’s why the name of the lens has the word “macro” and, of course, is much cheaper. Low dispersion elements are used in the lens optical design, and the circuitry is optimized for digital photography.

This uniquely compact and lightweight zoom lens can be mistaken for a budget lens because of its humble appearance, and in some situations this is probably a plus, but its main advantages are excellent sharp images and the same compactness. The 28-75/2.8 was a big hit from the start, and the major brands have since adopted low-cost versions of their professional “kit” zooms, squeezing it out, but can still be recommended for lightweight travel and as a first lightweight zoom for the budding camera enthusiast. The lightest and most compact lens in its class.

The sensors of the latest digital cameras are ruthless to all the weaknesses of the lens, and therefore the demands on the optics are growing. Production of wide-angle zooms for full frame by independent brands has practically stopped: besides Tokina, only Sigma continues to produce the only 12-24/4-5,6 zoom. All the more remarkable is Tokina’s achievement in developing and manufacturing a modern, bright wide-angle zoom with remarkable image quality. In addition to its superb detail and color reproduction, the 16-28/2.8 offers excellent uniformity, staying juicy and sharp even in the corners of the frame and even at open apertures.
