The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Sony FE 28-60mm f/4-5.6 Pros: Small, light, sharp, economical if taken in kit Cons: Not so small when opened, dark, new price, closing mechanism scares me Opinion: I took the A7C without this lens because, at the time, I was not very interested in focal lengths from 28 to 60. A year later, partly because I started shooting differently, partly because I read it so well, I decided to take it to try it out. I honestly don't understand how he can get such a high grade. For heaven's sake, it is a very good goal, but the 10 would deserve it if it were f2.8.. It is true, it is sharp at all apertures, but even at the minimum focal length we are talking about an f4 and a 5.6 at 60mm, there are few lenses that do not perform with those openings. There is also a lot of talk about its size: even here, very true, it is really small, but only when it is closed and therefore not usable. The locking system then, to my hands, seems delicate (but it is only my impression). Ultimately it is an excellent lens if taken in kit and paid € 150 new, to keep there without annoyance and / or use, as opposed to some crap that usually comes in kit that you can not wait to get rid of. Taking it used, as I did, increases the price (also accomplices the pdm who take it to 150 and resell it to 200 and sony that sells it new at senseless prices) and does not have, in my opinion, much sense, at least for the use I make of it. sent on January 05, 2023 |
 | Tamron 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD Pros: Focal range, f2.8 to 28mm, relatively cheap and light to be what it is Cons: In the end none. Maybe the lack of stabilization and a not really lightning fast AF Opinion: I took this lens looking for a handyman to carry around every day. I was undecided between the various 24-105, 24-70, 28-75 etc but in the end I decided to take this because I noticed that I shoot much more on the telephoto side than wide-angle (in everyday photos) and a 70-200, in addition to being more bulky, would have been too pushed. I use it with the sony A7c so it remains relatively small and lightweight. Of course, coming from m43 there is a big difference but also in a positive way. It would have been nice if it were smaller, lighter and brighter (as for every lens, on the other hand) but in hindsight there are not many alternatives: the various all-rounders are, in the end, large and heavy equal, if not more (removed the 28-60 but you can not compare with a 28-200, of course) and the various 70-200 are always larger and heavier, although brighter. Ultimately since I took it I have not taken it out of the camera body and I have not used anything else and I do not really feel the need, for now. sent on April 26, 2022 |
 | Minolta AF Reflex 500mm f/8 Pros: Relatively light and small (in the end it's a 500mm!), Autofocus, sometimes cheap, looks sturdy Cons: Never really sharp, on Sony FE with adapter only one central focus point (unless you buy the monster) and very slow, f8 fixed, difficult to use in MF, focusing distance Opinion: I had this borrowed from a friend who hadn't used it in 20 years. I put it on m43 to have a 1000mm equivalent and I was very disappointed. Soft photos always (and soft micromovy type, not halo type), very difficult to focus in manual, f8 that always needed very high iso that on m43 you pay dearly. In the end I left it there. Then I bought an A7c and wanted to try it with the LA-EA4 adapter. Here everything changes. You lose 1/3 stop so it practically becomes an f9 but I can shoot at 6400 iso without losing too much detail. Of course, the sharpness has not improved much, but 'AF allows you to have much more usable photos and the 500mm difference compared to m43 perhaps hide the flaws. Does it stand up to comparison with the various 150-400, 200-600 etc? Mahh, to see the samples of the new lenses I would say no. But those lenses cost 3-4 times more. If you find it little, you already have an adapter (or a Sony with a mount) and it hurts your back, surely it is a very fun lens. I must say that I still have to use it in full light where I can keep the iso even lower and the times even faster, so there is definitely room for improvement. There was a photo I took this morning that was as sharp as a modern lens, just one. I still have to understand why. I forgot one thing: the focusing distance is so great. So it is impossible to fill the frame with small subjects such as small rodents or similar sent on December 31, 2021 |
 | Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f/4-5.6 R Pros: Sharp at all lengths (yes, even at 150mm), 300mm equivalent, economical, small, lightweight Cons: All plastic, a bit dark, is history that those of olympus do not give you the hood, AF not really at the top Opinion: Coupled with the 9-18, on two em10mkii bodies, they were my "all-rounder" targets. One for near and one for far. It's all plastic but it really weighs nothing and I've never had any problems (I even fell to the ground once and only the metal of the protective filter bent). A bit 'dark at 150mm, especially considering that you are shooting on m43 with all the problems that start at 1600 iso, but if there is light goes to god. I will say more: very often I came home with better photos of my friend with the 5Dmk3 and the 70-200 f2.8... Af is painful, but that can also be the body certainly not performing. I didn't take a thing on the fly if it stood still in the middle. sent on December 30, 2021 |
 | Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 45mm f/1.8 Pros: Microscopic, sharp already at 1.8, cheap, lightweight, I like to play with the removable ring when I get bored, 2 colors :D Cons: I can't find any Opinion: I have been using it for the last 3-4 years as a lens for very narrow portraits. I never thought badly of it, not even once. Also when I go to dinners with friends it is the only lens I wear. It's one of the best (all things considered) lenses I've ever tried, if not the best: it costs nothing, it's bright, it's light, it's small... It's not tropicalized ok but I don't think its main use is in the rain. sent on December 30, 2021 |
 | Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm f/4.0-5.6 Pros: Small, lightweight, sharp, relatively inexpensive, 18mm equivalent, 52 filters, Cons: Not very bright, ugly, very ugly, even uglier with the hood, not tropicalized, quite plastic Opinion: It was the lens that really made me love wide-angle lenses. Many complain about the quality, my specimen has always seemed excellent to me. Before this I used the 16-35 f4 canon EF and I never missed it, especially for the weight and bulk. Of course it is not beautiful and it is not even tropicalized, but in the end used it is also relatively little and if you do not have great needs it is fine like that. If I had to choose a single lens for the m43 system I would undoubtedly choose this one (among those I tried) sent on December 30, 2021 |
