Canon, one of the most trusted brands in SLRs, is all-in on mirrorless. Its EOS R digital cameras drop optical viewfinders for electronic viewfinders (EVFs) and work with a relatively new RF lens system. These lenses use distinct optical formulas and a different mount compared with the EF lenses for Canon’s popular SLR camera line. PCMag has tested lenses for the EOS R system since it debuted and covered the vast majority of releases, so you can trust our recommendations are worthy of your money. Whether you want a bright standard zoom for events, a telephoto prime for wildlife, or a macro lens for close-ups, you are sure to find something that appeals in our list of the best options below.
