Readers’ Choice: Best Prime Lens of 2024
Prime lenses aren’t what they used to be. With advanced aspheric optics and exotic lens elements, today’s lenses are larger and more expensive than their SLR-era ancestors. This year’s lens class includes classic focal lengths like 35 and 50mm lenses, lenses for APS-C cameras, a healthy selection of third-party options, and more lenses for ‘hybrid’ stills and video use.
We have included lenses that were introduced in previous years if they were made available in new lens mount options in 2024. In these cases, we have specified the lens mounts announced this year in parentheses.
Our editorial team has already had their say 2024 DPReview AwardsBut which new prime lens was your favorite this year? This is your chance to tell us and the industry.
