Photography Blog Lens of the Year Award 2018
(Photography Blog)

We`re revealing our favourite products from 2018 in our annual awards, looking back at the essential photography kit that helped to define 2018. The Lens of the Year 2018 award goes to the Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG HSM Art. `Overall, the Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG HSM Art concedes a couple of mm in wide-angle focal length to its 12-24mm sibling, but gains a faster f/2.8 aperture, better weather-sealing, wider focus ring, less barrel distortion, and, somewhat surprisingly, a lower price-tag, making it worthy of our highest Essential! accolade.` Read our full Sigma 14-24mm F2.8 DG HSM Art review. Congratulations to Sigma! Honorable mentions go to the Olympus M.ZUIKO Digital ED 17mm f/1.2 PRO and the Zeiss Batis 40mm f/2.
