These lenses are the choices for weddings, fashion, travel and wildlife as well. However, photographers now have to decide if they want a lens that's affordable or one that takes really good pictures. In a test, we asked different companies to send their best lenses that can zoom from 70mm to 200mm and have an aperture of f/2.8 or f/4. We'll see how well these lenses work in different situations and which one is the best.
Benchmarking Test:
These tests are unique because we use widely accepted industry benchmarks to evaluate how well the lenses perform, rather than just relying on our subjective opinions about how they appear or feel. This year, we take the lenses using the following tests to measure their performance:
Build, Handling & Performance:
Tamron 70-180mm F/2.8 Di III VXD Lens
The Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 lens has a familiar and well-made design, similar to other Tamron telephoto lenses. It feels comfortable to use, especially if you're accustomed to Tamron lenses. It's a solidly built and compact lens, especially when compared to similar lenses made by other companies. We used it on a Sony A7 R IV camera, and it felt better and lighter than the Nikon Z70-200mm f/2.8 lens. The lens is priced at ₹99,900.
Nikon NIKKOR Z 70-200mm f/2.8 VR S Lens
The Nikon Z 70-200mm f/2.8 lens is quite large and heavy compared to its competitor. It feels strong and secure when held and offers good control, but using it for a long time might be a bit tough. The lens is well-made and is priced at ₹2,15,900.
