Zoom lenses continue to dominate Japan's photography market. That's no big surprise, given that most photographers prioritize flexibility and workhorse lenses. Map Camera's top ten best-selling lenses of 2025 once again show this strong preference, as the list is dominated by standard-zooms, telephotos, and super-zooms.
And – for the second year in a row, one versatile zoom has topped the charts: the Nikon Z 24-120mm f/4 S. Despite competition from newer releases, it continues to outsell rival optics thanks to its balance of range, reliability, and consistent real-world performance.
