The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Sigma 15mm f/2.8 EX DG Diagonal Fisheye Pros: Sharpness at full aperture, colors, construction (Black version) Cons: Focus ring not full time manual focus and spinning during use in af Opinion: Looking for a good fisheye with af after a good Samyang 8mm for aps-c and the excellent Samyang 12mm for full frame, I came across this lens and after some hesitation I bought it. What can I say, fully satisfied with the purchase, already sharp at full aperture, it improves further by closing down to f/8. Accurate af with both 5d IV and 1DX and correspondence with distance scale (I don't complain about the randon focus reported by some). Highly recommended. Update of 28.3.2024 I would like to point out that on the R6 with adapter it is perfectly compatible and it is a pleasure to be able to focus at any point in the frame. sent on February 07, 2024 |
 | Canon 1DX Pros: All Cons: None except the live view. Opinion: After a brief approach to the 1D series with the Mark IV I decided to switch to this 1DX which only improves on the positive aspects I had already experienced previously. Ergonomically a glove with buttons in the right place both horizontally and vertically, double joystick, splendid sensor as colors and high iso resistance, constructively a hammer. Since I have the 5d mk IV, despite being more advanced, it often remains in the bag, with no regrets. Taken as a second body instead of 5d mark III and 1d mark IV, it has become the main body with which I shoot, never has chosen been happier. sent on November 20, 2023 |
 | Canon 1D Mark IV Pros: PRO, PRO, PRO. Construction, reliability and image quality. Cons: For those like me who only take pictures and love the optical viewfinder, no one Opinion: What to say about this 1D MK IV that has not been said without repeating itself, perhaps that even after more than 10 years since it was declared out of production, it still manages to be current and performing. Without making poetry, I can only say that he has everything he needs to make exceptional photos. After 5d mk III and IV, it completes the triad of SLR camera bodies that I wanted for a long time and now that it is in my possession I must say that it goes beyond my personal expectations. Purchased less than a medium / high level bridge with only 65k shots and without obvious signs of wear, it is certainly to be preferred to many current proposals on the market. To those who think it is heavy I just say that a 5d series with its bg weighs as much as. Pure pleasure, try it to believe it. sent on July 22, 2023 |
 | Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Pros: Sharpness already at TA in the central area, construction, hood included. Cons: If it weren't for some uncertainty of AF in certain situations it would be perfect. Opinion: As a former owner of the Canon EF 35mm f2.0 IS USM, very sharp optics but whose colors did not make me fall in love, I can assert that the optical quality of this ART that I delayed to buy is at the highest levels, unfortunately it is not a matter of adjustments in the room or with the dock, of which I am the owner, but rather than (in my opinion) deliberate incompatibility by Canon that otherwise could see its L optics snubbed in favor of its Sigma counterparts with a considerable saving for the user. Apart from a few cannato shots for no apparent reason, for the rest the optics are exceptional for colors (a little cold as the latest trend imposes), sharpness and realization. I recommend buying it as long as you already know that sometimes it can be inexplicably wrong. Otherwise if you look for the sniper it is advisable to look for Canon or the L series or the 35 f2.0 IS USM (now out of production), even if personally it did not excite me. I forgot, with 5D Mark IV in LV never misses a beat, perhaps thanks to the Dual Pixel AF. Update July 2023, with my second body 5d Mark III the AF is always a sniper both in sight and LV. sent on December 12, 2022 |
 | Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS USM Pros: Sharpness, colors, AF speed, excellent stabilization Cons: Nothing Opinion: After having had two specimens of the excellent canon 100mm macro usm (bought the first and subsequently sold for momentary little use, I then felt the lack and bought the second, then also sold in search of something different), I wanted to try the L and IS version of Canon that did nothing but confirm what good has been said about this lens. I often use it for portraits, an area in which the stabilizer gives a good help, but unlike what I thought even in macro applications, thanks to the hybrid stabilizer (so defined by Canon) it manages to make a good contribution during freehand shots. Plastic construction but resistant and reactive and very precise autofocus. The only one is the prohibitive cost for the original collar of the tripod, otherwise a must. sent on September 24, 2022 |
 | Canon EF 28-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM Pros: Fortunately mistreated, good sharpness, classic focal range from film, compactness, colors, stabilizer that despite being the first series produced by Canon helps in low lights. Cons: Two-cam excursion zoom that generates slight transverse movements of the lenses, completely plastic (although partly of good quality) except for the bayonet which is made of metal. Opinion: Looking for vintage optics to be used for light outputs and maybe with a single lens, without carrying around much more expensive optics in risky places, I came across an opportunity for an almost immaculate specimen that I bought for the equivalent of a fifty f1.8 II used or a little more. Honestly from the first shots (made among other things with the Canon 5D Mk IV at full resolution) I had the feeling of having in my hand a different lens from the one that has been reviewed by many as a bottle bottom or so. It will not be the Canon EF 24-70 f2.8 L II or the 24-105 f4 L IS, but neither will it be the 18-55 series I and II for aps-c to which some compare it. The colors are the classic old school Canon ones that I found in the 24-85 that I already owned and in the canon 50mm f1.4 usm. Distortion and peripheral AC can be corrected with a click using the lens profile in Photoshop, while good sharpness is present at all focal lengths. The weight, accustomed to much heavier optics that I have and that I have had in the past, for me is quite light and very manageable in size, also the construction (even if it is not the best with the double cam for zoom), perhaps thanks to the excellent state of conservation of my specimen, does not suffer for the moment of the slipping of the front lens group when put upside down, nor of an excessive transversal game. For those looking for a good optics as a first purchase for an FF body without spending excessively I highly recommend it. sent on February 07, 2022 |
 | Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS II USM Pros: Great in everything, size, weight, AF speed, stabilization and last but not least optical performance Cons: Knowing the sacrifice of the weight to be carried with you, nothing. Opinion: I had already tried it before taking the f4 IS and discarded for the weight and bulk in the bag, but I already knew that sooner or later I would buy it and so it was. What to say that has not already been said about this splendid optics. Sharp from TA and at all focal lengths, exemplary construction. I arrive at him after leaving the stabilized white, of which I can only say good things, but after so many perplexities, as mentioned, for the weight and bulk, just grafted into the car and taken some test shots, you realize the difference that passes with the little brother and it is not just the extra stop. Tested with the Teleplus Kenko Pro 300 DGX 1.4x and 2x I noticed very little loss of sharpness and speed. The stabilization is very efficient and helps a lot on stationary subjects, the AF speed is exceptional. He wins hands down on the other focal peers who preceded him. sent on January 03, 2022 |
 | Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT Pros: Construction, reliability, has everything you need. Cons: I did not find any Opinion: The quality is always the same that distinguishes Canon products, no improvised stuff and born to last. Having already had the opportunity to use and still own two Speedlite 550EX that have made history, a Speedlite 580EXII that after the purchase I used mainly as a Master with the two 550EX as slaves, with the transition to the 600EX-RT (I took two) together with the ST-E3-RT radio transmitter a new world of photographing with more flashes has opened up as with this system you can control everything remotely and you do not have to worry, with respect to the optical system, of any obstacles between the master unit and the slaves. Highly recommended compared to some apparently similar cinesate but that melt in the hand and zero reliability. The more you spend in the end, the less you spread. sent on November 09, 2021 |
 | Canon 5D Mark IV Pros: 30 megapixels, dynamic range, AF responsiveness, command and button arrangement in line with what is proposed with 5d Mk III and 7D MkII (you feel immediately at ease), Wi-Fi and GPS presence, touch screen monitor. Cons: Non-swivel display (maybe) and then nothing relevant. Opinion: Purchased a few weeks ago, I immediately felt comfortable in managing the commands and the various menus, also owning the evergreen 5d Mark III etc., etc. You notice something good compared to what is proposed with the older sister and see how it is more reactive both in the af and to rise from the energy stand-by. The 30 megapixels are the right compromise, neither few nor exaggerated, even if the 21 of the mark III are already enough, but for the crop it is an extra advantage. The non-adjustable and tiltable monitor was until recently (See 1DX Mk III) the choice of canon for its professional, but the presence of wi-fi that allows you to control the machine through the mobile phone monitor, manages to fill the gap. What to say, well made in the style 5D style and performing. Highly recommended in my opinion even in the mirrorless era for the faithful of reflex vision. sent on July 17, 2021 |
 | Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Pros: Lightness, sharpness, silence, footprint, 15cm minimum focus distance. Cons: Original lampshed simply useless Opinion: I had years ago before I switched exclusively to FF, which is why I sold it, now that I've bought back an aps-c (7d mark II) to refine to my two ffs, although I already owned the canon ef 35 f2 is, the 40 f2.8 stm and the sigma 50 f1.4 art, I was looking for a focal a little wider than the 35 that on aps-c becomes a 56 and above all as light as the 40mm on ff , to always carry with you without sacrificing so much space. I have the opportunity to take it used at an excellent price and remembering the good quality, when I first had it, I bought it back with my eyes closed and I must say that I am extremely satisfied with it for the reasons I have set out among the pros. Then at the price paid nothing to complain about, among other things in impeccable conditions. Highly recommended, I think I'll keep it as long as I have an aps-c body. As with the 40 stm we recommend a good protector filter rather than the useless original light screen. sent on May 02, 2021 |
 | Canon 7D Mark II Pros: Shooting speed and AF tracking capacity, AF sensor coverage, 100% viewfinder cover, iso seal to be an APS-C, granite construction, right amount of pixels for an APS-C, extremely reliable exposure meter, effective spot exposure. Cons: Exposure level indicator on the right side, missing articulated monitor. Opinion: Purchased as a third body machine, to be combined with 5d MKIII and 6d MK II to take advantage of the multiplication factor and shooting speed, as well as AF, I was positively impressed by the solidity of the construction, the immediate feeling for the arrangement of the controls similar to 5d MK III and the good resistance to weather. In the past I have had both the 7d old and the 80d and I must say that compared to the first it has improved what was good had been achieved, while compared to the second it shows a better operating speed and a less plastic construction and despite a Dynamic Range perhaps a little less wide I would say, which digests the high ISOs better up to 3200 max. I do not agree very much with the position of the exposure level indicator placed sideways on the right of the viewfinder which is not exactly easy to read if you do not place your eye perfectly in the center. The unwinded monitor may be a miss, but 99% of the shots you take with 7d MK II do so with your eye glued to the viewfinder. Born for sports and shots from considerable distance, thanks to the multiplication factor it is a revelation in photos at close range. Satisfied with the purchase, I highly recommend it. sent on April 16, 2021 |
 | Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM Pros: Always sharpen at all focal points, construction, L Series. Cons: Nothing at the moment. Some people complain about the 16mm distortion, but it doesn't seem so disastrous to me, and if you put the lens profile in it, you correct it in a flash. Opinion: Purchased after owning the Canon 17-40 f4 L USM and Sigma 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 DG HSM I must admit that the progress has been remarkable. Canon colors, sharpness already at TA, non-exasperated minimum focal distortion that decreases as the focal, solid construction and tropicalization grow. Together with 24-70 f4 IS L and 70-200 F4 IS L, it has completed the triad of zoom lenses that are present in my kit with good optical quality that allows me to face 99% of the shots in different photographic areas. For something more in terms of sharpness and/or brightness I rarely resort to the fixes in my possession. Very satisfied with the purchase I highly recommend it. sent on March 10, 2021 |
 | Kenko Pro 300 DGX 2.0x Pros: Compatibility on Canon Eos 5D MK III and 6D MK II bodies with all the optics of my kit, imperceptible loss of sharpness, light and compact. Cons: I didn't find any Opinion: Looking for the Pro 300 1.4 DGX on the used market, for the pros illustrated by multiple reviewers, I found a seller who was selling in bulk with the Pro 300 DGX 1.4x also the Pro 300 2x DGX of which I was a little skeptical. Given the favorable price I took them in pairs and I did not regret it because I have to say that for both are worth the same pros and to date no cons, with the optics with which I use them, especially Canon 100mm f2.8 Macro USM and Canon 70-200 f4 L IS USM. Concerned about possible incompatibilities with the 6D MK II complained of by other reviewers, I have to say that with mine he did not manifest any problems.

 | Samyang 12mm f/2.8 ED AS NCS Fisheye Pros: Sharpness, almost total absence of flares, colors, covered field angle, construction, basically almost everything. Cons: Focus ring a little too little clutched, cap. Opinion: After the positive experience of the 8mm fisheye Samyang, sold alas, when I took off the Canon 80D to switch to only FF bodies, and the bad experience with the 14mm MF Rokinon (Samyang for the American market), I bought this optics in the hope of being able to retry the pleasure experienced with aps-c. Luckily for me, or perhaps because it comes from Fowa, it was a great surprise to find that it is well beyond the performance of the 8mm, as it is already usable f2.8 with excellent results at f4.0 and exceptional over the entire frame at f5.6. The flare, present in the 8mm, in this 12mm is almost completely absent and when it is present it is very invasive. The construction is good and without games, moreover the MF ring was precise in the distance indications but a little too fluid, I would have preferred it a little more dampened. Certainly better than the other two objectives of the same house That I had, in which I had to adjust the MF ring to have reliable indications or the 14mm that had games to the fixed lampshed and the frontal optical group inside, as well as to the MF ring. The only exception to the good construction of this realization is the cap, which compared to that of both the 8mm and the 14mm is unstable and with a lot of play, so much so that I had to glue leather thicknesses inside to reduce its wobbly. The colors are the ones that made me appreciate the previous fisheye and offers a unique stereographic projection, different and more uniform than other tried fisheyes. Used for mainly hyperfocal panoramas, it guarantees operational speed and excellent results, for more precise focus, better to rely on the live view with 10x monitor magnification. Satisfied with the purchase and naturally recommended product if you like the kind of photographs it returns. sent on November 14, 2020 |
 | Canon EF 35mm f/2 IS USM Pros: Nitiezza already at TA, Stabilizer (but not from 4 stops), AF, size, construction. Cons: Stabilizer not very effective and lack of tropicalization I do not feel the need. The paraluce buys it with a few euros. Opinion: Purchased to complete the trio of fixed lenses (35mm, 50mm and 100mm macro), to be combined with the zooms in my possession, to date it is the lightest and most compact lens in my possession after the Canon EF 40mm stm pancake. These factors, together with the good versatility of the focal, the reliable AF in every situation and the excellent sharpness already starting from TA, which further improves to excellent levels at f/4-5.6, make it the ideal lens to always keep attached to the machine body for uses ranging from the street to the portrait shots set etc., etc. The stabilizer, more likely from -2 than from -4 stop, is a surplus that helps in shooting with difficult lighting or at night, but that guarantees stabilized shots really usable with times of 1/8s or better 1/15s. I honestly do not like to take photos in the rain and even used in dusty environments showed no problem, so I do not feel the need for the lack of tropicalization. As far as I'm concerned it's a highly recommended purchase. sent on July 23, 2020 |
 | Sigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Pros: Sharpness already in TA, brightness, speed and silence AF, internal focus, construction and finishes Art, complete with lampshade and transport bag Cons: Weight, but you already know before you buy it. Opinion: After having the opportunity to try a specimen long ago, with probable calibration problems that led to af results not perfectly accurate and that had led me to prefer for the footprint and weight the Canon 50mm f. 1.4 USM, which when used at f4-5.6 is just as sharp as this, but that in TA presented the side for CA at the edges and corners at the edges and corners , as well as loss of detail, I decided to give a second opportunity to this view that to my deep amazement, in the specimen purchased by me, seems not to suffer from the problems of AF that I had encountered in the specimen tried at the time. From the first shots taken I noticed an exceptional sharpness already at TA on the whole frame that closed to f4 increases further. The boken is a bit nervous, but not a bother, on the other hand both the Canon 50mm f.1.8 STM and 50mm f.1.4 USM could not do better, indeed. In short, after a first test of a specimen unfortunately not perfect, with this the lightning strike was triggered and since I bought it I can not remove it from one of the two machine bodies that I own (it is addictive) although basic I prefer the use of zoom for their greater versatility. I would point out that the AF is perfect both used with my 5d MK III and with the 6d MK II, which does not digest much of the third-party optics, but with this it did not show any problems of compatibility AF and with both bodies I did not have the need to make micro adjustments on camera or with the dock. The only price to pay for the optical and construction quality is the weight almost three times higher than the Canon 1.4 and the footprint that does not make it go unnoticed, but when you admire the results you understand that it is worth making this little effort. Vote 10 full. sent on June 13, 2020 |
 | Samyang 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC Aspherical Pros: Field corner Cons: Sharpness, construction, painful corners always Opinion: I did not claim to have a Zeiss lens in my hand, but not even a bottle bottom which proved to be an examination. Maybe after thirty years of photography I found the crartiest optics I could ever buy and I didn't always have optics from the big blazon. I cannot understand certain reviews that exalt the sharpness that I have not found in my specimen, perhaps suffering from serious centering problems, since the bottom corners could never be of a decent quality, the plastic of the lampshade, as that of the cap is of poor quality and be careful not to solicit them because they break easily. The focus ring, in my specimen, in addition to presenting the classic staring complained by the most, had a game that if you changed the direction of focus to or to infinity had a void of movement. However painful experience that I thought could not happen since with the 8mm of the same manufacturer at the time of the aps-c had greatly amused me, despite its limitations. I don't give any votes because I'd need the negative numbers. Returned as the plague. sent on March 13, 2020 |
 | Sigma 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 II DG HSM Pros: Covered field angle, 17mm absent distortion and not excessive at other focal points, construction, image quality Cons: Flare, lampsho, compatibility with the latest Canon SLRs Opinion: After owning Canon's 17-40 f4 L and buying a 14mm Rokinon (Samyang), being looking for something wider, somehow getting me into the scene as I did in aps-c with the Samyang 8mm, I sold both lenses and bought the Sigma 12-24 II. The difference in field is there and compared to Rokinon the quality is abysmally better. The Rokinon has never exalted me either for the distortion or for sharpness at the painful corners even at f11 or more (maybe problems centering my specimen). With the Sigma, fortunately for me, I did not find the problem of the lower left corner, complained by Claudio Ricci, indeed it has an excellent focus that does not suffer from F/B focus with 6d (old) or 5d mark III, the IQ is excellent already at full opening and naturally improves closing at f8-11. The construction is granite and I noticed good resistance to dirt from the front lens, perhaps due to a good protective coating. The Flare is a problem that in a wide angle with such coverage there is everything, but I do not see it as invasive as described by someone. The thing that bothered me the most about this optics is the accrocco made for the lampshh, it would have been enough even a cap like that of the 8mm or the 14mm Samyang (although they are not the best I am always better than this). With the latest Canon reflex cameras (80d, 6d markII and maybe a few more later) I noticed that the AF on some occasions is inconsistent and sometimes goes out of focus, while in Live-view it is perfect. In this regard, having currently a 5d mark III and 6d mark II I use it almost exclusively with the first and in live view or in manual with the second. However very satisfied with the particular images that he manages to give to 12mm. sent on March 13, 2020 |
 | Canon 5D Mark III Pros: Robust, pro, color returns, just megapixel quantity, still versatile and eclectic, high-performance AF module with good coverage. Cons: A little heavier than less pro bodies, but nothing exaggerated being a pro. Then considering that it came out in 2012 nothing to be able to recriminate them in 2020 Opinion: Permuted my trusty 6d with this tank, it immediately makes you get used to the best things it provides. You put it on and it looks like it's made for my hand, you bring it to the eye and the bright viewfinder and with 100% coverage cheers your eye, the autofocus is spectacular and the colors that the sensor returns are truthful, without exaggerated amplifiers, nor disassembled colors. Coming from 6d the switch to the 5d mark III was a must, with the only difference that I have not now wokel. We will see if the different arrangement of some commands will make it use in the field, coupled with the 6D mark II that I also possess, a little more difficult. Anyway his 950g. don't make me want super-technological cans that make coffee as well. sent on February 14, 2020 |
 | Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM Pros: Sharpness in absolute terms from f4, chromatic yield, footprint, weight Cons: AC at full open, minimum focus distance Opinion: Taken in trade-in, without having put it into account, during the sale of a zoom, in conditions equal to the new, after everything I had read in the reviews here on juza, I expected that attached to the machine body, at the very least it sent everything into tilt, came out evil demons of the out of focus and disdirected after two seconds. But to my astonishment I realized that it works and that it also works well, always focusing where I wanted. I started testing it at TA and I have to say that it will not be the maximum of sharpness, but if necessary it can be used very well; I continued to use it, gradually closing the diaphragm to f2.8 and the results rose considerably in quality; I closed to f4 and became a blade and continues to grow up to 5.6-8, then better not go further to not affect the quality with the diffraction. I also have the excellent 50 stm at the moment, but compared to this 1.4 turns out to be less responsive in focus and slightly cold and disused colors, also the boken in this lens will not be perfect, but the stm is much worse as it is too nervous. I'd say the price difference between the two optics is all there, I'm using it on 6d mark II and it goes great unlike the specimens Sigma f1.4 ex and Art series, which I got to try, which instead present great difficulty in finding the optimal focus even at fine adjustment performed, but this is perhaps due to some imcopatibility introduced by Canon on this machine body, as with 80D and some other recent body, in order to force the user to use only , with which in fact there are no problems of focus in the vast majority of cases. Finally, the weight and footprint make it an optics to always keep in the bag/backpack at hand. sent on February 07, 2020 |
 | Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM Pros: Sharpness, weight, speed and precision AF, colors. Cons: I can't find any. Opinion: Bought for a few months now at a good price, used but indistinguishable from the new, which even to find it again, for the prices requested would take you to buy the Series II. Right from the start I found a special feeling with a net floor detachment and high contrast. The lower weight made me prefer it to the big brother 2.8 series II, so a place in the backpack is always found. I owned the 70-200 f2.8 of Sigma years ago and when I changed it, in favor of the stabilized 70-300 Tamron, the shoulders heartily thanked. I arrive at this 70-200 f4 L IS from a modest Tamron 70-300 stabilized that accompanied me for several years and then from a smooth version of the white (purchased with guarantee of 6 months), but made after just a month for the manifestation of the fateful focus shift that usually afflicts the IS version. What to say the Tamron was good, but comparing and enlarging to 100% you realize that the difference is there and it is not pochina, then sacrifice the 100mm more it offered, but especially from 250mm up were not quite exceptional. Then what to add that others have not already pointed out? The lampshade? That's, or you're going to buy the tulip ones on Amazon. Isn't the easel attack included? But even this you already know at the time of purchase, also as with the Tamron stabilized, the monopod or tripod is something that is used very rarely, unlike with smooth white. However, now on amazon with about 25 euros take a good metal attack with a color completely equal to the optics and with the fast attack of the type Arca Swiss. Even today very valid and highly recommended. sent on January 31, 2020 |
 | Canon EF 24-70mm f/4 L IS USM Pros: Sharpness, construction, stabilizer, size, macro function, filter diameter 77. Cons: Nothing at the moment. Opinion: Purchased as a result of a 24-70 f2.8 SP tamron of VC g1, which, although a very good optics, often with the new machine bodies Canon needed microadjustments, with one body on the canvas side and with another on the wide side, which sometimes led to results inconsistent that pushed me to fall back on an original optics a little less luminous but amazing for the speed and precision of the AF and 4-stop stabilizer. The sharpness is at excellent levels and does not make me regret the previous optics that in this sector, when it was right the AF, was exceptional. as well as the construction from real L series and the beautiful saturated colors canon, if to this we add almost 300g less and more compact dimensions you will soon forget about the tammy with its sometimes traitor AF. Among the pros I entered the diameter filters from 77 that being a common diameter between the optics in my possession allows me to share the circular polarizer and other filters without problems. At the moment more than satisfied with the purchase. sent on October 07, 2019 |
 | Canon 6D Mark II Pros: It adds a lot to what was missing in the first series. Cons: Considering that I am not a fan of videos and that already I was excited about the photographic results obtained with the first series, no data to report Opinion: Coming from the previous series, which I kept anyway, as I still consider it a very valid body, I was immensely pleased to see some gaps of the first series filled, while maintaining the identical layout of the controls. The af module I already knew as a holder of EOS 80D that I permuted to buy it and that despite being a great APS-C, remains an APS-C. From this point of view, apart from the crosshairs with 100% coverage and 1/8000 sec. of the shutter, the 6d mkII is nothing more than the 80D in full-frame version. Nice to use at the same time 6d and 6d mkII and have no difficulty in managing bodies. Great machine too mistreated maybe by those who have never taken it in their hands. sent on August 15, 2019 |
 | Canon EF 24-105mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Pros: Sharp already to TA, closing of a stop even better, economical both new and used, excellent focal excursion on FF, IS, block excursion, solid construction apart.... Cons: Game of the tube of the front (although it seems not to invalidate the optical yield) and the blessed lens hood that purchases however compatible to a few euros (the original on Amazon is now under 30 euros but is overpaid the same) Opinion: I agree with what has already been stated with those who preceded me that enhance their praises and flaws (few fortunately). While accustomed to the sharp and contrasty photos of the Tamron USD SP 24-70 f/2.8 USD that I have now for a few years and I appreciated his notes optical quality, but that sometimes on the tele side I considered a short Pelino, I bought this cheap little gem , even if I thought it could be quite dark, to be accompanied by what I possess for light outputs with only one optic and at most a flash. At the first mounting on both 6d and 80d already after the first shots I realized it was the perfect optics I was looking for, although with APS-c it often takes up either the Samyang 8mm or the Canon 17-40 because of the multiplication factor that starts the lower focal by just over 35m M, but on the other hand I have a tele from 168mm that does not hurt. Sharp enough not to make you regret to leave at home more demanding optics for weight and footprint, discreet in position 24mm provided you do not mount the hood, this handyman covers the overwhelming need of the focal length that most use on FF. The minimum focusing distance of only 40 cm allows you to get close to the subject to be photographed (does not replace the 100mm macro, but is quite comfortable the same), the STM engine is virtually noiseless, as well as the stabilizer. The only drawback is the frontal a little dancer (frequent problem in non-series lenses as well as the emblazoned EFS 17-55 f/2.8 IS) to which I am not accustomed, but otherwise absolutely nothing to recriminate in relation to the price and optical quality of the lens.

 | Lowepro Flipside 400 AW Pros: Sufficiently capacent, comfortable on the shoulders, ingenious the anti-theft opening although a bit uncomfortable Cons: Apparently not sturdy (we'll see), feeling that the zipper will remain in your hand, uncomfortable storing and withdrawing equipment from the main compartment, lumbar belt only for Miss Italy and not detachable Opinion: What about this backpack, equipment, to know how to organize, there is a lot but not too much, even if you have the feeling that you can crumble with the use, perhaps influenced by the tactile experience and what I read in customer reviews on Amazon , where someone claimed that he had detached a shoulder strap or that the hinge of the external compartment, was opened maldestramente. The opening and use of the main compartment is certainly not easy and needs to find a safe support to carry out this operation a bit cumbersome, but that in the crowd allows you to be more comfortable from attempts to theft. The illustrated operation of blocking it to life before with the lumbar belt as illustrated on the site of Lowepro for the Prelevo/reposition of equipment, I see it quite unlikely for several factors: 1 ° The lumbar belt seems made for Miss Italy in bathing suit (too short); 2 ° If the backpack is not balanced (full at the bottom), spill the contents on the ground. I wonder: Why make a lumbar belt so short and cumbersome and not foresee at least the disassembly? I've had a Tamrac Expedition 5 for about 20 years, I've loaded it like a mule, and still not a broken zip, not a scucing or sign of wear. In Rolandone I suggest the solution I made about the lumbar belt, that is to replace the closure of the same, buying two twins and a piece of strap of the same width of the original, so as to apply one of the two closures Complete in place of the original and the other to make, together with the piece of strap, an extension that you can put and lift if necessary. It was my first lowepro, but for what you spend and the quality you buy (at least in this case), after you have had bags and backpacks Tamrac in my case, it will also be the only one. Overall judgement 6 and we hope we do not overestimate the object. sent on May 09, 2019 |
 | Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM Pros: Sharp, compact, light, economical, good angle of field shooting, AF accurate and fast Cons: For what it costs, I do not think you can ask for more, indeed one thing there, Lens hood totally unnecessary, both as protection of the lens and as a function of shielding the side light Opinion: Bought with a certain skepticism, as it did not convince me so much the focal, already from the first use impressed me positively. It is the ideal optics to make street or to replace the classic 50mm with the advantage of having a higher angle of shooting, but not excessively wide angle. Meeting point between 35mm and 50mm. It costs little in relation to the sharpness provided, weighs nothing, mounted in the car protrudes little more than the protrusion of the handle, making it very transportable. Constructively identical to the counterpart for APS-C EFS 24 f/2.8 STM that I already owned, is robust enough. If I go out light with APS-C I bring the 24 STM, 40 STM and 100mm macro and I'm full in a ridiculous handbag. Af very precise (someone complains be slow, but with 80d and 6d I do not think so). If proper lens hood has to be, I recommend buying a compatible Leica type to buy on the net (at least it has its own logic and being metal protects against bumps) as the original is totally unnecessary. Purchase recommended or in lieu of 50mm or to be accompanied by these as the angle of recovery is not the same. In lieu of the hood is advisable to use a good filter neutral protector, but not put bottle bottoms because you would deteriorate only the quality of your images, better nothing. sent on January 23, 2019 |
 | Samyang 8mm f/3.5 Fisheye Pros: Solid, unusual, sharp already from f/5.6, colors, simple to use while being free of AF and data transmission diaphragm, economical Cons: Flare, sharpness at f/3.5in, non detachable lens hood Opinion: After a long time since the purchase of this lens from the unusual recovery, I must say that I have not regretted at all the purchase made, both for the price paid at the time of purchase (much less than any proposed Canon or third party), which for The overall quality of the optics. After reading many reviews, I have to say that I already knew what I was buying (merits and flaws), but I did not imagine how much enthusiasm can give a fish-eye like this for unusual shooting that can give. The flare in the presence of lateral sun is seen, common in this category of ultragrandangular and it is good to take into account during shooting to accept the presence of reflections in the frame or change framing. Good sharpness already from F/5.6 to F/8 improves again and remains optimal up to F/11, then diffraction begins to make feel, I do not recommend opening F/3.5 if not at low ISO and in unfavorable light conditions with machine on tripods , because otherwise the results can be quite disappointing. Light enough, does not make you miss the autofocus (at most, to be fussy, focheggio helping me with the magnification of Live view or imposed hyperfocal) and has earned a corner in the backpack that I always carry with me, but unlike Asserted by someone, I do not recommend the use with reflex Full frame because in the shooting is photographed also the lens hood, which is not detachable, as in the series II (from which differs only for this particular), then on FX this does not become a Circular Fish-Eye. Good the front cap that is fixed to the lens hood and that in my opinion is always keep mounted and remove only to make the shoot in order to avoid fingerprints or damage to the front lens quite protruding. Excellently solid construction, does not make you sell a kidney for purchase and if you do not like the type of photos that can give you can always resell without losing much. Very recommended purchase. Rated 9 sent on January 02, 2019 |
 | Canon 80D Pros: Compact, heavy the right with the installed BG, fast and versatile autofocus, tilting and touch monitor, good dynamic range, high ISO holding in comparison to the other APS-C house of Canon. Cons: Focus light block for non-canon flash and inability to be able to read the number of shutter shots without sending the camera in to camera service. Opinion: Purchased as a second body to match my 6d, I was looking for something different as a format (although I already owned APS-C earlier) able to stretch the focal length of my optics and that it was more versatile for sport (let's say the AF of the 6d pur Being great, it does not do wonders in this area). The choice was relapsing between 7d Mark II and this 80D, but having read that the first, is a beautiful by day, crossing the fingers I bought the second, remaining very satisfied with the choice made. Maybe it will not have the AF of the 7d Mk II and the 10 fps, but has an excellent AF system and 7 fps are more than enough for my use. Of course to better balance the weight of the optics for FF, as in 6d, I resorted to BG, but now we are accustomed by the time of analogue and I can not help it. The shots that can churn out are well detailed and have a remarkable dynamic range that the other APS-C of the house Canon do not have, the high ISO holding is good up to 3200, the layout of the keys is roughly the same as 6d, so I do not create details of Fficoltà the transition from one reflex and the other, in addition the monitor touch and tilting is a plus to facilitate shooting that otherwise require the use of the activation command via WI-FI or lie down on the ground. The AF in Live-Wiew is finally worthy of a speed that makes it actually usable, as accurate as that from viewfinder. The video department I have not tried yet, but I state that I do not do videos, so I do not even know if I use it, but from what I read is more than adequate to today's video needs, except for the 4k. Until now I can not find faults and the construction is quite strong and durable, it will not be a tank like the 7d or 5d Mk II that I have owned but it is still sturdy. The shots performed to test it, were a pleasant surprise already to the monitor of the same. Recommended, all substance. sent on May 11, 2018 |
 | Canon 6D Pros: Reactive, high ISO hold, amazing central AF, discreet noise, good ergonomics, low battery consumption (without wi-fi or gps inserted). Cons: impossibility to manage dual functions with the keys (see 5d mark II), need to insert the BG to better balance the bulky FF optics, for the price we include some forced castration, but nothing essential. Opinion: After so much prevarication, if it was better to keep the indestructible 5d mark II or go to the most performing 6d in terms of ISO and AF in low lights, I took the step and at the beginning it was not painless, as switch from a semi-pro setting at an entry level FF the difference is noted. First of all in the dimensions a little less generous than the 6d, then in weight, but above all you have to get used to the new layout of the keys and the multi-controller. After the initial impact, beginning to become familiar with the commands and especially taking pictures (I do not like videos and I did not take it for this, even if you have the chance to be able to shoot them more than dignified), you realize that the positive notes are there, and how if they are there. In different conditions where I would have to opt for the help of the flash, both for the AF assistance and to make the recovery feasible, I found myself focusing on without (with the central), with an ease that I could not imagine. The reactivity of the machineyou can see it already when the pause is switched on or when you wake up, as well as during the shooting and in the lightning response of the AF (especially the central point). The estate iso, as I said is excellent, the recovery in the shadows is the best among those of the SLR up to now I had. I can assert my full satisfaction with the transition to this camera. In addition there are HDR, Wi-fi and GPS, which can serve if necessary. Only note, beyond the forced castration operated for marketing issues, is the need, perhaps from my part, to necessarily have to provide BG to have a better balance with lenses such as 24-70 f.2.8 or with size and size more generous, both for the weight and for the contestability of the same. The 5d mark II remains a great memory, but I do not regret the passage 6d, I'm not a professional and the costs for a new 6d mark II or 5d mark III used (still too expensive considering what the market offers today) at the moment they would not be gjustifiable by the quality of the images (memories) that one brings home. In the future we will see! Promoted with full marks. sent on February 14, 2018 |
 | Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD Pros: Sharpness, loose colors, 2.8 opening and usable opening, solid construction though made of synthetic materials, all compact. I forgot that it was stabilized. Cons: A bit demanding for weight, but less heavy than canon counterparts. Filter diameter of 82. Opinion: I found it used as new and at a great price, a bit by accident, and it has become the central part of my cameramen kit. I was somewhat uncertain of the too many reviews that, on this site, exacerbated the defects (but from all the tests and reviews on the net emerged a very different reality) despite that I wanted to test with hand if they corresponded to reality and so did not is. We start from the hardened hood, of which they are called of all colors (small, graceful, does not serve anything, etc., etc.) but is of the same shape and approximately the same size as the hood of Canon 24- 70 L 2.8 II or 24-105 series I and II and other optics currently on the market, but none of them said anything, the construction seems good and has never given any sign of failure. The yield I found was superior to all the focal points at the Canon 24-70 L 2.8 first series (which I had to test well since I wanted to buy it but did not exalt me), also does not suffer from the curvature problemto field at shorter focal lengths. I can not make a comparison with the II series as it has ever been tried, but being simply a cameraman I'm not interested in spending three times bigger numbers for a paper quality a little bit better without having a cheap return and not having the stabilizer that in the state of low light is an extra gear to make photography in the ambient light without the risk of moving or having to carry behind a tripod (too much is not allowed to place an easel wherever you are). I find it a great goal for ff to fit in the car (a serious machine with which it is well balanced) and take very seldom for the use of super wide angles or thrusters, then return to mount it for 90% of the remaining photos especially without flash (naturally for static subjects with slow times). Of course, it is not the perfect optics, but the zoom is generally not for construction, but it is a good compromise and compromise. With the release of the new G2 model updated aesthetically and ifWith great breakthroughs in performance, the prices of the used go away, making it a great deal for those who want a good optic without spending one eye on the head. sent on November 23, 2017 |
 | Canon EF 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 USM Pros: Compact, light, fast usm, crisp, warm colors canon Cons: Considering the age of the project and the results that it still manages to pull out, absolutely none Opinion: Long ago I asked my photo-shopkeeper to let me try a Canon Ef 24-70 f.2.8 The first series he had for sale, professional lens with interesting features (I had the 28-70 f2.8 L), but to the test it did not excite me so much that it sparked the spark to make the purchase. Especially because of the excessive weight (950 gr) as well as the excessive encumbrance of the same and the yield that has not fascinated me too much. When I tried this now economic goal I was stunned by the sharpness (especially at the center even the largest openings), the versatility of size and weight that one brings with it. The AF, true USM, is very fast and quite accurate, the warm colors of the Canon tradition that in the STM of our days we dream of them, good contrast to all focal lengths. Considering the double-cam construction is also true that the front lens has a bit of play, but nothing outrageous, having seen worse with the youngest and most expensive (at the time) 17-85 EFS IS and with 28-105 3.5 -4.5 II USM.The distortion at 24 mm is there but I've seen worse in much more expensive optics, also the loss of quality in the corners is not as exaggerated as I read in some reviews. Fully satisfied, I only wonder why optics of this kind are no longer in production. Highly recommended. sent on June 23, 2017 |
 | Canon EF 17-40mm f/4.0 L USM Pros: Size, sharpness, flare resistance, construction, price both new and used to be an L series. Cons: Particularly cumbersome lens hood, more wide-angle focal distortion on regular subjects. Opinion: Bought recently on the occasion of the transition to full format, right from the start, unlike everything I had read in the opinions of other users, left me particularly excited about the purchase made. Many talk about corners and edges, but frankly even at full aperture and the focal angle I do not see all this disaster. Already at F. 5.6 is particularly sharp at all focal lengths, closing to F. 8 The maximum yield is obtained. The construction is exceptional, does not vary the length nor during the focalization, much less at the varying of the focal, the right and well suitable for spinning films, excellent resistance to flare, also has tropicalisation of the barrel. The distortion at 17 mm is visible, but can only be annoying with regular contours. The only real drawback I can find is the particular generosity of the size of the hood, which make the bag transport particularly cumbersome and flashy when it is mounted, but all in all it is a detail that goes into the background, Compared to all the pros he can give away. Frankly reading some reviews it seems that he is talking about a different perspective, but perhaps it could be complicit the goodness of the specimen in my possession (but among the Canon L series there are no large tolerances). I recommend on FF, personally I matched it to a fixed 50 STM and a 70-300 Tamron stabilized by obtaining together with a 100 mm f 2.8 Macro A kit all in all still light and transportable and cost-Accessibilissimi, while on APS-C replaces the optics Base 28-70. I agree with others that I will keep maybe forever (at least as long as it works!)-Update January 2018: After having joined my 6d an 80d, I decided to buy a more human lens hood while using the APS-C. The choice fell on the EW-83h of the 24-105 F/4 is L. Strange thing, however, that passing the lens with lens hood mounted by APS-C to full-frame the same no vignette absolutely and is therefore very usable at all focal lengths. sent on May 31, 2017 |
 | Canon 5D Mark II Pros: Ergonomics similar to 5d, 7d and later, command response especially after standby, solid construction, good sensor, good medium-high iso, blurry resistance that can return the FF over the Aps-c from which I come. Compared to 7d, I did not notice a higher noise in the shot. Cons: Few AF points, less AF responsiveness than 7d I come from. Opinion: Finally I managed to pass from the cap-c to the ff with this panzer, found to be used in good condition, which replaced the still trusted 7d I possessed. Mainly I was looking for that something more in terms of resolution that can give a FF, the correspondence of the diaphragms with the blurred effect and the elimination of the possible micromosus due to the dense sensor, so with the upgraded I have to say that I found this That I was looking for. Compared to 7d I possessed, of course I know a lower AF reactivity, but it is not as critical as I read in several reviews. Plus I've gained better resistance to high iso (only one stop less than 6d that I've been able to test) and a not-so-strong feel-good. Like other reflexes if used without too much attention, it is possible to get dust on the sensor and also under the diplay and the monitor. Overall happy with the step forward waiting for something (5d mk III) of a bit more performing inAF terms (but I already knew that). Highly recommended. sent on May 27, 2017 |

First film on display with just 3 photos and 1/2 just printable out of 36 poses. From that film the sea of impressed and printed films, first to achieve the purpose of seeing all the shots made and printed, then beginning to always search for something more in what I photographed (the composition, the emotion ......). After her were succeeded Zenit XP , Yashica 270 af and FX 2000 super, Nikon F601 - F70 - F90 - F90x, then Canon Eos 3 and 5 until digital with Canon 300d, 20d and 7d, 5D Mark II, 6D , 80D, 6D Mark II and 5d Mark III but all united by almost exclusively manual use of exposure, because if you learn to be the one who decides time and diaphragm (today we add ISO), you hardly give a program your choices.

Purchased for portrait on APS-C, has impressed me right away, then dart in B / N blurred and the complexion is particularly exciting. Although built in plastic, it experiences a better quality compared to 1.8 II. The metal attachment completes the best impression of solidity.

Cons: Paid at a very attractive price to be used and in excellent condition, against which we want to find! Opinion: Bought used at a great price for the non-use of the previous owner, I had some doubts about the quality of reproduction, but as soon as I started to do some test shots I could verify the good optical performance at all focal lengths, but above 10 mm, focal length for which it seems optimized. The equipment is complete, so after the purchase you have to think possibly only to the protective filter (diam. 77). Construction is bomb-proof, robust and equipped with the engine fairly quiet and fast. Maybe if you really want to find a mole could be the fact that it is not very bright, but for the use to which it is voted on and given the differences from other manufacturers is not a problem in both exterior and interior applications, just lift a little the iso and that's it. Used indoors with the aid of external flash (550EX) with wide-angle diffuser lowered is not felt loss of brightness at the periphery of the frame also the focal 10.

The VR although not exactly compensates for 4 stops, but three seem safe to me (maybe I hand quite firm), allow me to leave the 70-200 2.8 doubler and the monopod at home or in the car with a total weight in less than two kilograms, which in less backpack feel all right. The sharpness is very good at all focal even at maximum, considering the decay of my 2.8 duplicated seems to me that if the play, anzthe. There is not much I have to, but within the first shots I was thrilled. I recommend it as new as the favorable value for money, even more to use (of course if found in good condition and at a reasonable price, or better again about 300 € in physical store or online, and even less with a long warranty long). I do not regret not having taken the bianchini as MMT have a price far higher than the conditions that often have, not to mention by new (especially the IS). I quickly discarded the 2.8, the first for the cost (I am a amateur photographer and not a professional, so the equipment does not repay the costs faced), then for the weight that would have forced me to always leave something at home to risparmiarne a bit, something that most times the other hand I did with what I already have.

After only a few scervellamento day I realized that the cause was the UV filter (I think not digital) will appear before the lens.

 | Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Pros: Light weight, low noise .stm and also stabilizer, sharpness, although plastic totally transmits a very solid feel Cons: the price of the original lens hood that costs as much as 1/4 of optics and is also made in china, nothing compared to the price at the time. Opinion: Mine are the first impressions after buying this in mind as a forklift truck, waiting to cater to the 17-85 arrangement Canon the failed unexpectedly for the second time every six years. When he had found on sale with just two days to live after the purchase, I paid just 70 euro with a two year warranty. In hand do not like this chip as the previous series, and transmits a pleasant feeling to the touch, also it weighs less than half the optics that I broke down and is also more compact. The engine does not feel in the least, so it's quieter than even all'USM the 17-85 Canon or Sigma 70-200 f2.8 HSM my EX, as well as quiet is the stabilizer (so that both beginning they seemed even not work for the commissioning speed focus and low noise) and not interfere minimally while shooting video. After the first shots I can confirm, as reported in other reviews, that the sharpness remains at levelsmore than good at all focal lengths with a small decrease in the maximum focal TA, while in some situations is even better perspective of the other in my possession that cost a lot more. The stabilizer is effective. I think that even repairing the other optical I will keep always in your backpack for any emergency or to shoot videos more easily. I assigned to this end the 9/10 vote for the favorable ratio quality / price and very good sharpness observed. If there had been the bayonet metal and hood made in china included in the price I would have quietly given a 10 round round. Then if you should fail after a few years, for what it costs matters little. For more in-depth impressions I reserve to integrate with a subsequent publication. sent on April 12, 2016 |

Opinion: Excellent optical zoom to tele to super telephoto, used with FF and APS-C (the latter reaches 600-620 mm of low sensor), allows you to capture frames of particular power or animals at a considerable distance without the weight of several kilograms following. The sharpness is good at TA up to 300 mm and then became only fair to 400 mm, but already closing of a stop is sfruttabbilissimo even at this focal length. Excellent resistance to flare, so that photographing with the sun at sunset is absolutely not a problem. Constructively well made, presents the MF ring a little set back which is hampered by the presence of the ring for the tripod mount (though removable) and the lack of zoom lock for transport, which in view of the weight of the lens group front, it allows easy involuntary extension. In position 400 with lens hood becomes quite long, we recommended that (in the absence of stabilizer) the use by at least monopod at longer focal lengths, while the dense sensors dive advicenta essential. Find used between 250-300 if in good / excellent condition is a more than fair price in relation to the optical quality. The lack of stabilizer while it penalizes him, on the other hand makes it slim and lightweight for carrying and then at the end when there was still the stabilizer long focal they used the same, maybe we have forgotten the basic rules for doing photography in addition to taking unnecessary bursts in full automation. sent on March 24, 2016 |
 | Tamron 28-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di VC LD Pros: zoom range, good sharpness in relation to covered focal, stabilizer, silent motor, portability thanks to the zoom lock, IF. Cons: Price that had the new resolution at the edges to TA, but just close a couple of stops and greatly improve for the rest in my example I can against others. Opinion: Good lens handyman to stick to the car and bring on a trip around his neck throughout the day thanks to the zoom lock that prevents unwanted elongation. Equipped with a good zoom range for the FF becomes even more interesting for the APS-C of becoming a Nikon 42-450. The engine while not an ultrasonic is fast and quiet, only in low light conditions at the maximum focal shows some hesitation, but nothing too disturbing. Interesting to get used to the situations in which it is not advisable to change optical continuously. The sharpness of the edges to the minimum focus is not exciting, while the center is always more than decent, in view of the long zoom range, but just close a couple of stops and greatly improves. I highly recommend it. sent on March 16, 2016 |
 | Nikon AF 70-210mm f/4-5.6 D Pros: current cost used, excellent sharpness and incisiveness in relation to the years of construction, good construction, low weight / results. Cons: The lens hood is purchased separately, pump zoom that stretches easily and not for a padlock Opinion: Great zoom mediotele equipped with a focal length sufficient to cover together with a wide-angle zoom lens for most photographic needs. Purchased new and used with various analog cameras (F70, F90X) and later on digital aps-c, manages to be still relevant perspective and able to outperform even the latest 70-300 nikon stabilized. Although it stretches easily, already it did it after a short time it was purchased new, considering the weight of the front lens group, and does not have an internal motor objective, remains exceptional optics for shots that manages to offer and the modest weight that carries around. The metal lens hood is bought separately and today is not easy to find if you do not find it along the optic. sent on March 15, 2016 |
 | Sigma 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5 Aspherical UC Pros: Compact, great value / used price, solid, lightweight, good standard. Compatible both of which ff aps-c engine on bord room. Cons: Filter diameter 82 (expensive), hoods a bit difficult to hang right the first time, af a bit 'noisy (nikon attack) Opinion: Excellent lens, if a little dated, first used on analog F90X and then on D90, has always brought out the excellent frames, without regret much more noble and recent optics. Sprained focal minimum after all the limits, excellent results both on ff that of aps-c, good standard equipment includes petal-type hood and soft pouch, a little noisy traditional af, but nothing unbearable given the results.

 | Canon 20D Pros: Robust and reliable always Cons: Small display Opinion: Companion of over 10 years of photos after 300d, has just left the place at 7d. Excellent ergonomics coupled to bg e2 and used with good optics has been able to give me several satisfactions that I hope can continue with 7d.
