Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3: was $1,089 now $824 at Amazon

It’s a relatively compact telephoto for Micro Four Thirds cameras, with a rugged, splashproof metal body. Its image stabilization and 4x zoom range make it a great choice for action and wildlife photographers, too.

A nigh-on perfect lens for video shooters, this 20-50mm equivalent is also a great choice for photographers you like to shoot wide (but not too wide). It’s a pretty big investment for Micro Four Thirds fans, but a 17% price cut for Cyber Monday makes it way more accessible. It’s never been cheaper at Amazon, and its constant f/1.7 aperture delivers depth of field and low-light performance, whether for stills or video.

An 85mm prime lens is a fantastic addition to any portrait photographer’s kit bag, combining a shallow depth-of-field with a natural perspective for minimal distortion. This 85mm Nikon Z-mount lens is no exception, with a fast f/1.8 maximum aperture for attractive blurred backgrounds. It’s only been cheaper once before (by $10) and would usually cost you $100 more.

Its dimensions are relatively manageable for a lens with its range, making it a great choice for photographers who want a more travel-friendly telephoto for their Canon R-series mirrorless camera.

Fujifilm XF 56mm f/1.2: was $999.95 now $699.95 at Amazon

With a maximum aperture of f/1.2, this 56mm prime is prized for its ability to produce beautiful bokeh and shallow depth-of-field effects. Designed for Fuji’s X-series cameras, its fast aperture also makes it a great tool in low lighting. This deal represents its best ever price at Amazon, and the first time it’s been offered for less than $700.

Olympus M.Zuiko 40-150mm f/2.8: was £1,499.99 now $1,299.99 at B&H

Fujifilm GF35-70mm f/4.5-5.6: was $999 now $499 at B&H Photo Video
