What lens should I buy Canon?

We recommend starting with the Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L as your telephoto and, if you have an APS-C body, the Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 for a wide-angle option. If macro is your thing, start with the Tamron AF 90mm f/2.8 Di SP. Or for a kit lens upgrade for APS-C bodies, go with the Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM.

Likewise, which Canon zoom lens is the best?

Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM.
Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS II USM.
Tamron SP 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di VC USD.
Sigma 70-200mm f/2.8 DG OS HSM | S.
Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM.
Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2.
Canon EF 70-200mm f/4L IS II USM.
Tamron 100-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di VC USD.

Similarly, which Canon lens is sharpest? The sharpest lens made is currently between the Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens and/or the Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Lens. I own both and I can confidently say they are darn sharp. Maybe they are the sharpest but I very much prefer the Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM Lens and rarely use the Suggy 50mm.

In this regard, what lens should you buy first?

By far, the most recommended lens for photographers is the 50mm prime. But upon first researching it, many new photographers feel this might not suit them as well, because they already have the 50mm focus length covered with their 18-55mm kit lens.

What is the sharpest lens?

Sigma's 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art and the Zeiss Otus 55mm f/1.4: two of the sharpest lenses currently available.
Super sharp: Canon 35mm f/1.4 II USM.
Best zoom: Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8.
Top value: Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM.
Best wide: Nikon 24mm f/1.8G ED.
Fast fast zoom: Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 Art.
