Server
update and other news -
November 05, 2008 |
|
Yesterday, I have moved the forum on a new
server. It takes few ours until the DNS
spread, but not nearly everyone can access to
the forum; if you still have problems, you may
have to delete the DNS cache on your computer.
If you have windows, click on Start >
Run and write cmd; it will open a
prompt, where you have to write ipconfig
/flushdns and press Enter on your
keyboard.

Canon
1Ds Mark III Review update -
October 31, 2008 |
|
I have updated the Canon
EOS 1Ds Mark III field review with a short
comparison with the current hightest
resolution SLRs. I think that the 5D2 has
really changed the market; if I had to choose
now the SLR that fits better my esigencies,
I'd go for the 5D Mark II!
Other than that, I have added a detailed
description to the Sigma
200-500 f/2.8 EX DG review. In future, I
plan to expand this review, with more tests
and with full size image samples available for
download!

Sigma
200-500 f/2.8 EX DG Review -
October 28, 2008 |
|
The Sigma 200-500 f/2.8 is one of the most
extreme lenses ever built for the 35mm (24x36)
format: it is the only 500mm f/2.8 of the
world...and it is even a zoom! It weights
almost 16 kg and it is 72 centimeters long;
actually it is not as enormous as it looks in
photo, but of course it is pretty big (a bit
longer than 600 f/4 + hood and clearly wider)
and it is really, really heavy... I have had
the possibility to try the unique Sigma
200-500 on my 1DsIII, and now my report is
online!

200-500 f/2.8 EX DG review is online!

Canon EF 200mm f/2L IS USM -
October 24, 2008 |
|
The 200 f/2 IS is the successor of the 200
f/1.8 L, the brightest supertele ever
manufactured by Canon. The new lens is 0.3
stop less bright than its predecessor, but it
adds weather sealing and 4 stops IS, that made
it much more handholdable. I have taken many
handheld photos at 1/13 (4 stops slower
than 1/200) and there is no motion blur - the
4 stop IS works as advertised! In these days
I'm testing the new Canon 200 f/2 L IS: I have
added my short review and some tests to the Canon
Lens Reviews page!

Macro photography with Plamp -
October 18, 2008 |
|
There are some simple and cheap accessories that can make an huge difference in your photography: the Wimberley Plamp is one of the accessories. The Plamp help to fight to of the worst enemy of macro photographers: the wind and busy backgrounds! Indeed, the plamp is one of the main reasons that led me to abandon the use of 2x Teleconverter in macro photography...

Grey Herons (Canon 400 f/4 DO + 2x) -
October 09, 2008 |
|
I have recently tried the 400 f/4 DO...it is an interesting lens; extremely small and light :) The image quality is not bad, even though it is not as sharp as other Canon superteles, if you do a side by side comparison. This photo is taken wide open with the 2x TC; if you want to see how it performs, these are a couple of 100%
crops...

need a particularly advanced camera for macro
photography...

The Great Canon Supertele Test - From 800 to 1600mm -
October 07, 2008 |
|
It does not
happen everyday to have six of the very best
Canon superteles in hands: thanks to Sandro
"Ceksalo", in a cold afternoon of
October 2008 I have had the opportunity to
compare side-by-side my 600 f/4 IS and 300 2.8
IS with new Canon 800 f/5.6 IS, with the
shorter and brighter 400 f/2.8 IS, with the
interesting 400 f/4 DO and with the legendary
200 f/1.8 L (that Canon has recently replaced
with the 200 f/2 IS)...

the test is online! Canon

I have added some new macro photos to the
galleries Italy
- Trebbia Valley, Italy
- Trebbia Valley III, Italy
- other places and and in the high
resolution gallery Macro
III!
These are the last macro of the season here
in Italy (but I'm going to take a lot of macro
photos next month in Costa Rica!). In the
winter months, instead, I plan to do more
landscape photography - I have just bought the
Sigma 20mm f/1.8 for night landscape photos,
and I have published my first impressions on

now I take all my macro photos using live
view! The live view has several advantages...
