Now that we're doing a series of videos called Lensdays, I thought it would only be appropriate to have some awards for best lenses of the year.

All of the lenses in this video were released in 2019. I picked winners based on 5 different categories - best ultrawide lens, best wide angle lens, best normal lens, best portrait lens, and best long telephoto. And I have the overall winner for 2019. These are all selected on the basis of optics, features, size and price.
