fujifilm_xc35_f2Fujifilm XC 35mm f/2

Pros: Sharp, precise, sharp

Cons: nothing

Opinion: It costs €200 or less; It amazed me. I took it to mount on my XT30 for the street and it amazed me with its definition and incisiveness. Even for landscape photography (despite being a 50), in particular naturalistic, it returns really intense and beautiful colors, as well as real. The size is minimal, not pankake, but it still allows me to keep my XT30 in the pocket of a winter jacket. The construction is certainly not enviable, but for the price I don't think you can expect more. I'm thrilled about it.

fujifilm_xt30Fujifilm X-T30

Pros: Lightweight, small, easy to handle and spectacular rows

Cons: nothing

Opinion: I come from Canon 6D MII which I still own. I had 3 L Series lenses: 16-35mm f.4/35mm f1.4 and 24-70mm f2.8. I bought the XT30 as a second body exclusively for the street but it quickly became the first body, thanks to its efficiency: it is very small, light and churns out fearsome files, as well as having that charm of vintage design that makes its own. I use it (for now) exclusively with Fuji's cheapest lens, the 35 XC F2 (which I'm equally amazed by). As I said, I took it for the street but slowly it supplanted the Canon for practically any release: I sold the Canon EF 16-35 f.4 and the Canon EF 35 f1.4, keeping only the 24-70 for travel: when traveling I really like to shoot portraits and landscapes and the canon kit is the best for this. For everything else I do, the XT30 is wonderful. I'm not going to get technical, I'm just saying that it gives me a unique shooting pleasure. For those who come from Canon, the Fuji menu and software are certainly not immediate, but once you "understand" the Fuji philosophy in my opinion it is very gratifying; Jpegs in particular are a great thing. Mine is not a technical review (you can find the specifications everywhere) but it is a gut review, made after a year and a half of use. The pleasure that the XT30 gives me is unique. I can't find a fault with it.

sigma_24-105osSigma 24-105mm f/4 DG OS HSM Art

Pros: Sharpness, compactness

Cons: Cool colors

Opinion: Goal all do high level. Its main quality as for all Art is an extreme sharpness that is a pleasure to the eyes. To be an all-rounder zoom it really has a remarkable detail at all focal lengths (it drops slightly on the longest). At 24 mm it has very little distortion. It is also very solid and compact, but the weight is felt. As for the cons, the colors are a bit too cold and in general the rendering is devoid of personality. I used it little (on Canon 6D mk II) and replaced it with the Canon 24 70 L F 2.8 Because qualitatively superior and because I realized that I do not need it for my way of shooting the focal length from 70 to 105. As for the battery I also noticed that the AF tends to work for about a minute after shooting, but on my 6D Mark ll I did not notice any engulfment of the battery itself. Ultimately a great travel handyman.

sigma_35_f1-4Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art

Pros: Sharpness, blurry, construction and image quality (when AF works)

Cons: Unconstant AF, F/B focus issues, color gamut

Opinion: Reluctantly I had to give up sigma 35 art after 5 months of use. Reluctantly because when the shot is right it is really magical. Assuming that the purchase of an f 1.4 lens is motivated by the use of large openings (for a 35 species for the set portrait) the strengths of this lens are the sharpness already at TA and its magical blurry, especially the ability to "detach" the subject from the background. The problem of this lens is known, especially on CANON (as far as I am concerned): 1) calibration because of the F/B focus that I had solved anyway with Dock station 2) inconstancy of the AF, out of 10 photos 4 were to be thrown away and when you make street or simply photos that are not portrayed posing it is frustrating to open the raw and see that out of 10 shots it gets about half of it. And it is not a problem of F/B focus because once properly calibrated this is solved. Another flaw, this cmq easily remediated in post and that did not affect my yield, is the strong chromatic abbreviation to large openings, especially on contrasted backgrounds (but also not too much). In conclusion, I reluctantly had to give up in favor of the much more expensive Canon 35 mm F.1.4 L USM II, taken used with sigma trade-in and related economic sacrifice. From the first tests the Canon doesn't miss a beat but I reserve a review later. As for Sigma Art, the quality of the lens is very high, perhaps it did not go well with my 6D II or more simply my specimen was not lucky. I don't feel like making bad judgments because the quality is there and you see it, but the reliability is really minimal and this has been frustrating for me.

canon_6d_mark_iiCanon 6D Mark II

Pros: High iso yield; touch; mpixel property

Cons: Nothing for general photography apart from the too central MF points; burst not for photo-sports

Opinion: Bought in January 2021 and I'm excited about it. Initially undecided between Reflex and Mirrorles for the switch to FF, but after studying many reviews I decided to stay on reflex for battery life, viewfinder and affection (later you will see). Gone from 600D to 6D Mark II: I certainly start from a dated entry level, but with the 6DmII the jump is abysmal, the yield is spectacular, even 4 years after the release. I rely on only one comparison (600D-6D mII) but I can assure those coming from an entry level that this machine is another planet. The high iso yield is spectacular, with the 600D shooting max at 200 iso here go quiet at 1250. The 26 Mpixels show up. When coupled with quality goals, I own Canon 16-35 f4 L and Canon 35 mm F 1.4 L II, it forms a winning combination. I found myself almost no longer having to intervene in PP on color and sharpness. I admit that the transition from Sigma Art targets to the L series still made its own. Going from a 600D I found the touch and the ring great for scrolling photos and MF. The qualitative leap, however, remains the high-iso yield that opens up a new world as a way of photographing. For me the touch is very comfortable compared to the 600D (then it goes well we agree, there is or does not change the final rating). In general, as already read below I consider this car as a Golf for cars: it does everything well, maybe it does not excel in anything but for non-professionals what do you want to expect? Negative things but only for the purpose of review : not ideal burst x sport/ bird life;MF points (as known) too central, which however can be solved with live view (with obvious battery consumption). Otherwise I can't find half a defect
