The Tokina 11-18mm f/2.8 ATX-M may not be a great camera lens, but it is a good one, and it's quite reasonable value for money too, so it does come recommended.

You must bear that in mind before purchasing this thing, but for those of you who do have that level of patience, admittedly myself included, and who don't need the sharpest possible corner image quality, this lens still comes recommended.
The Sony FE PZ 16-35mm f/4 G is a very consistently very good quality lens in almost everything it does. It has great contrast, very good sharpness throughout, an impressive close focusing distance, and plenty of useful controls for video makers.
The only real issue with this Laowa lens is its very heavy vignetting, which is admittedly easy to crack in software, and its not-so-impressive work against bright light.
[I]f you can afford it and you absolutely need the best possible zoom lens on your Sony camera, then this one has to come highly recommended.
[T]he Sigma 16-28mm f/2.8 DG DN Contemporary is a solid choice of ultra wide-angle zoom lens.
[T]he Nikon Zfc because not only does it look incredibly cool, but it has that wonderful combination of being a fast and powerful camera which is also pretty easy to use.
[I]ts image quality is quite average for a shift lens.
It just gets you really nice pictures without any hassle, so it definitely comes recommended.
[I] love, love, love this Sony FE 14mm f/1.8 GM lens. It is well-built and produces stunning images with ease.
My conclusion is simple: it's an excellent optic and my favorite Viltrox lens to date, and in my book it's one of the most highly recommended lenses on the Fuji X system today.
All right then, overall, the Nikon Z 28mm f/2.8 may be a very unambitious lens in its parameters.
[I]t is one of the sharper f/0.95 lenses out there, and I do like the look of its images, so if you can work around its limitations, then it does come recommended.
If you're happy with getting a really fun one though which can bag you some beautiful and unique results, then this Laowa Argus 35mm f/0.95 FF is right up your street, and if you're happy to work around some of its optical issues, then it does come recommended.
[I]t is a fun optic to use and I can just about recommend it if this is what you're on the market for, but more demanding photographers should bear in mind its limitations before taking the plunge.
If you can cope with that though, then it's a truly awesome piece of optical engineering that comes highly recommended.
[T]his is a great lens for video work where it handles fantastically well, but I can't quite recommend blowing $1,200 on it for stills photography if sharpness is your priority; its image corners just aren't quite what they should be.
Once again, $900 is certainly a steep price for this little lens, but it sure gives back to you, so this one's going to come highly recommended.
[T]he Sony FE 50mm f/1.2 GM is pretty much everything you could dream about from one of the most modern, top-of-the-line, and expensive 50mm optics currently available today.
Its optics are great, nice and sharp, especially on a full-frame camera, well, unless you're shooting close to bright light. It gets you down to two times magnification, awesome, and it's relatively tiny.
There's not really much more you can ask for a 40mm lens at this price point, and it'll be really useful for all kinds of different photography situations, so it does come recommended.
By the end of my time testing it, I was eventually convinced to forgive it for its huge price, and so I can safely say that it does come highly recommended.
It's a surprisingly accomplished lens really, and if you can look beyond its dark aperture, it does come highly recommended.
There are one or two other little image quality niggles that prevent me from highly recommending it at its rather high price point, but it's still really capable and enjoyable to use, so it does come recommended.
