Goals for your holidays. Our top 12

There are so many objectives out there that you don't know which one to take on holiday? Here are our top 12 holiday lenses. Which one would you choose?

One goal is enough - but it has to be the right one

Want to take just one lens with you? Then you need a versatile superzoom lens, so you're equipped for every holiday-themed motif: the wide focal range, flexible area of application and excellent value for money make it an ideal all-rounder. Compared to fixed focal length lenses or a lens with a smaller focal range, however, you have to make a few compromises in terms of brightness and image quality.

Lenses for landscapes

For landscape photos, you need the widest possible framing so that the overall impression is felt in the photo. That's what super-wide-angle lenses are for. As the name suggests, you get a very wide-angle image with minimal distortion.

City travel

For street and pattern photography on city tours, your lens should be small, light and unobtrusive. Fixed focal lengths are therefore perfect - they allow you to shoot when the light is very strong, right into the evening.

Safari

Want to stay away from wild animals, but get photos where it looks like they were right next to you? Then there's no escaping the telephoto lens. Despite its enormous appearance and heavy weight, there is no equivalent. The flexibility of a zoom lens is ideal for photographing animals on the move.
