There have been several rounds of lens news recently, with Canon introducing two new ultrawide options for RF mount, Leica releasing its first wide-angle Noctilux and Viltrox finally announcing its first lens for L mount. Some of DPReview’s editors sat down to discuss these new options and to talk about what impact they might have for photographers.
Let us know what you think of the new lenses in the comments or on our forums!

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!
