Readers’ Choice: Best zoom lens of 2025
In addition to the usual assortment of new and updated models, we saw some head-turning zoom lenses in 2025, including fast-aperture zooms, versatile zooms for APS-C and medium format, some heavy-hitting telephotos, and at least one new kit zoom.
Our editorial team has already announced the winners of the 2025 DPReview Annual Awards. Now, it’s time to find out what you think. Which of this year’s new zoom lenses do you think are worthy of recognition and one of our coveted Readers’ Choice awards? Take our poll and let us know.
Polls are now open; see below.
Voting occurs in three categories (cameras, prime lenses, and zoom lenses) and runs through December 26.
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 to open shortly before the end of the year.
Voting is easy: pick your top 3 products by dragging and dropping to rank them in order of priority. Products are listed alphabetically.
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.
