How we chose

Wide primes and wide zooms whose longest focal length is 40 mm or less (full-frame equivalent). Picks come from manufacturer specifications: the brightest maximum aperture, the lowest weight, APS-C and third-party options, and the most recent release. We do not rank on sharpness, bokeh or autofocus, because we have no test data for them. Use the sample frames and video reviews on each lens page to judge those.
