Have your say: Vote now for prime lens of 2023

Readers’ Choice: Best prime lens of 2023

Prime lenses aren’t what they used to be. Today’s lenses are bigger and more costly than their SLR-era ancestors, and advanced aspheric optics and exotic lens elements allow for designs that would have been impossible in the past. This year’s lenses included updates of camera bag staple fifty one-fours, along with a healthy collection of wide-angle, telephoto, and even a couple of tilt-shift lenses.

Our editorial team has had its say already, in our 2023 DPReview Awards, but which of this year’s new prime lenses was your favorite? This is your chance to let us and the industry know. If you think we missed something, please leave a comment to let us know.

Polls are now open, see below.

Voting takes place in three categories (cameras, prime and zoom lenses), running through December 31.

Once the vote has closed, we’ll run a fourth and final poll drawn from the winners of the first three to determine the Readers’ Choice Product of the Year. Look out for that poll early in 2024.

Poll Rules:

This poll is meant to be a bit of fun. It’s not sponsored, promoted, or paid for in any way, and DPReview doesn’t care how you vote. Our readers’ polls are run on the basis of trust. As such, we ask that you only vote once, from a single account.

Our DPREVIEW Tribute:

After nearly 25 years of operation, DPReview closed on 10 April 2023. This difficult decision was part of the annual operating plan review that parent company, Amazon, shared earlier this year.

Over the course of 25 years, DP Review built up a reputation as being one of the most informative places to go for information about that new camera or lens you’re after. DP Review began as an independent reviews site based in the UK in 1998, the brainchild of Philip and Joanna Askey, but it was eventually purchased by Amazon in 2007 and relocated over to Seattle in the USA in 2010.

Cheers DPReview – thanks for the great work and content that guided photographers, videographers and techno junkies the world over!
