The Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S II is Nikon's first second-gen Z-mount lens, with a new optical design, slimmer profile and internal zoom – but is it a big enough upgrade to tempt owners of the original?

Nikon has launched two APS-C format DX lenses; the 35mm f/1.7 macro and 16-50mm f/2.8 zoom – two solid looking lenses for a system that had previously lacked investment

The Lumix S 100-500mm F5-7.1 O.I.S is an ultra-telephoto with great reach and superb stabilization.

The OM System 50-200mm is the world's first 100-400mm equivalent zoom lens with f/2.8 aperture. Together with a current OM System camera, it's a true wildlife and sports photography master.

Nikon upgrades its pro 24-70mm f/2.8 S lens with a mark II version that's lighter, has 5x faster autofocus and is the only lens of its kind with an internal zoom.

The Viltrox AF 35mm f/1.2 LAB FE is an impressive lens in every way, and comes in at an amazingly attractive price you may not be able to resist.

The Viltrox AF 16mm f/1.8 FE is an impressive ultra-wide-angle prime lens that offers pro-grade performance and image quality at an affordable price.

The Sigma 56mm F1.4 is the longest telephoto option of a quartet of Contemporary DC DN F1.4 primes, with an effective 85mm focal length. For me, it's the best buy of the bunch, able to create dreamy portraits.

The Aizu Prime Line features a maximum T1.3 aperture on all 12 lenses, while two upcoming full-frame AF Cine Line zooms will be Sigma’s first AF-compatible cine lenses.
