Best Wide-angle Zoom Lenses for Canon EOS-1D X Mark II
The wide-angle zooms are best lenses for landscapes and architecture shooting. The Sigma 24-35mm F2 DG HSM A is unsurprisingly the best zoom lens for Canon EOS-1D X Mark II with the highest score of 29 points. Tamron SP 15-30mm lens and Canon EF 11-24mm f/4L USM come for the second and third place, but the Canon lens is much more expensive than Tamron.
