These lenses cover a range of focal lengths, starting from 10mm to 30mm. And with that wide focal length they can also give you the ability to shoot landscapes, buildings, or anything you want to look really cool. So in this shootout we have featured the best lenses in the wide-angle category within the range of 10-30mm focal range to find out who is the best.
Parameters
In order to test the lenses we use a variety of parameters that include widely accepted industry benchmarks and also performance tests. And in this case as well we have looked at the following parameters.
• Look, Body and Feel
• Image Quality and Performance
• Chromatic Aberration
• Value for Money
• Canon RF 15-30mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM Lens
The Canon RF 15-30mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM lens is well-built for its price, but being the RF category lens it isn’t as durable as the more premium L-series lenses. It weighs 390 gms and lacks dust and moisture protection. It has a durable metal mount and instead of a dedicated control ring, it uses the manual focus ring for adjusting settings like focus, shutter speed, aperture, exposure compensation, and ISO. You can switch between focus and settings adjustment with a side switch. The focus ring is easy to use, with a textured feel and smooth rotation. In this shootout we paired it with the Canon R10 and overall in the look, body and feel category it feels good, compact and well-built.
• Nikon NIKKOR Z DX 12-28mm f/3.55.6 PZ VR Lens
