When it comes to superzoom range, more might seem merrier. You therefore don’t have to carry additional lenses, and neatly avoid the worry of muck getting into your camera when changing lenses in dusty environments. The main attraction of a superzoom lens is that it covers everything from wide-angle coverage to serious telephoto reach, without the need to swap the lens on your camera. That said, FX format lenses are sometimes the best options for DX format cameras in certain categories, and we'll explain when that's the case. Our new guide is split in two, so we’ll kick off with the best optics for DX (APS-C) format DSLRs, then move onto lenses for FX (full-frame) cameras.
With that in mind, we’ve rounded up the best buys in all of the most popular categories of lens for Nikon DSLRs. Better still, they typically deliver all this at substantially reduced purchase prices, making them great value for money. Many of the latest third-party lenses are brilliantly designed, beautifully engineered and perform every bit as well as Nikon’s own offerings. Over the last few years, independent lens manufacturers like Sigma and Tamron have been steadily raising their game. While Nikon’s prime and zoom lenses tend to be of very good quality, they’re certainly not always the ‘best buys’.
It’s only natural to feel the urge to stick with Nikon’s own NIKKOR lenses, but that can be missing a trick. Buy into a Nikon system and you have a wealth of own-brand optics to choose from, covering everything from ultra-wide-angle zooms to super-telephotos, and pretty much anything else in between.
Any DSLR is only as good as the lens that’s mounted on it.
