Sigma EX DC OS HSM 583101 17-50mm

55.2 Travel Score
17-50mmf/22Nikon FIS
Why we recommend this

A8 constant f/2. aperture across the 17-50mm zoom range pairs with FLD and aspherical elements to deliver sharp, high-contrast images with strong aberration correction. The built-in optical stabilization provides 4 stops of compensation, and the HSM motor enables fast, quiet autofocus in a relatively compact 565g body. This lens is best for APS-C Nikon F-mount portrait and event shooters who need bright, stabilized standard zoom performance on a budget.

53.5 Travel Score
12-24mmf/4Nikon F
Why we recommend this ▼

The constant f/4 aperture across the 12-24mm zoom range, combined with three aspherical and two ED glass elements, delivers consistent exposure and well-controlled distortion for an ultra-wide DX lens. Its Silent Wave Motor provides fast, quiet autofocus with full-time manual override, and the 465g build keeps it portable for a constant-aperture zoom. This lens is best for Nikon DX-format DSLR users shooting landscapes and architecture who need a reliable, rectilinear ultra-wide perspective without the bulk of f/2.8 glass.
