The Best Selling DSLR Lenses With Our Readers

02 Jun

best selling lenses

Today we did some analysis of the Best Selling DSLR Lenses with our readers among dPS readers – based upon purchases made in the last 3 months.*

As usual this list is dominated by Canon and Nikon lenses so we’ve again broken those two brands out into two separate lists of lenses and then have put the other best selling lenses from other brands into a third list.

Interestingly by far the #1 lens in the last 3 months has been the Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM lens which was released just this last month as a successor to their old Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 Mark II which was released back in 1990 but which has always previously topped our best selling lens lists (it is #2 for the first time ever this month).

Note: at this stage we didn’t see any major trends in lenses for compact camera systems which is why we’ve not featured any hear. We expect this market to grow as the mirroless/compact system cameras continue to grow in popularity.

*Note: as with our previous best seller lists this list was compiled from reports supplied to us from Amazon.com where we are affiliates. One of the ways dPS is able to cover its costs and be a sustainable business is that we earn a small commission when readers make a purchase from Amazon after clicking on our links (including those above). While no personal details are passed on we do get an overall report from Amazon about what was bought and are able to create this list.
