Have your say: Vote now for the best zoom lens of 2024

Readers’ Choice: Best zoom lens of 2024

Zoom lenses continue to evolve, with manufacturers continuously pushing the limits of what’s possible. In 2024, we saw a diverse collection of zooms that include second-generation designs, versatile lenses for travel, and more third-party options.

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 mount announced this year in parenthesis.

Our editorial team has had its say already in our 2024 DPReview Awards, but which of this year’s new zoom lenses was your favorite? This is your chance to let us and the industry know.

Polls are now open; see below.

Voting occurs in three categories (cameras, prime and zoom lenses), running through December 21.

Once the vote has closed, we’ll run a fourth and final poll drawn from the first three winners to determine the Readers’ Choice Product of the Year. Look out for that poll early in 2025.

Voting is easy – pick your top 3 products by dragging and dropping to rank them in order of priority.

Please note that for the best experience, we recommend voting on our desktop site.

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!
