The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Gitzo GH1780QR Pros: lightness and at the same time robustness Cons: cost Opinion: The Head Gitzo GH1780QR (now no longer in production) is fantastic, I tried to put on the Nikkor 600mm f/4 with Nikon D850 (total weight about Kg. 7.00) and does not make a fold! It weighs only 350 g. but it is very robust, if you find it used do not miss it! A curiosity: the test above was performed with precisely the Gitzo head in question and the tripod, always Gitzo, Mountanier GT1542 weighing only Kg. 1,280! Total weight, Head + Stand, about Kg. 1,600 (remember that the total weight of the equipment put on is Kg. 7.00 about ... It does not make a bend, Try to believe! sent on February 08, 2022 |
 | Leica M2 Pros: The Leica M2 did not went out on the market in 54 ', in 1954 came out the Leica M3 which was and is an extraordinary machine, superior to the sister "poor" M2 Cons: The Leica M3 at the time was very expensive and so in Wetzlar decided to support them (after 3 years) a similar model but less esoso, more "poor" precisely called Leica M2 Opinion: Clarification: The Leica M2 has been released after the M3 (although the name seems to be the opposite). The Leica M3 was the first Leica M (produced precisely from 1954 to 1966) while the Leica M2 was released on the market three years later (produced from 1957 to 1968). They have lived together for almost a decade, but even though they seemed similar, it was not so; The Leica M2 was a poorer version of the M3. Speaking of prices, in Italy in 1963 the M3 was 169,000 Lire while the M2 cost 144,900 Lire (about a 17% difference). Specifically, my M3 is 1955 and is part of the first series, the so called DS (Double Stroke) which according to many, seems to be mechanically higher than the second series (film Advancement with Double Shot (DS) and softer, more delicate and more). In short, I can affirm, as a personal opinion, that: the Leica M3 DS (first series) is better than the Leica M3 SS (second series) but that however all M3 are better than M2 and so cascade of all other M (M4, M5, M6, M7). Yes that's right, the Leica M3 is a timeless myth and is the best Leica M mechanics ever! Ermanno. sent on June 11, 2019 |
 | Nikon F6 Pros: Excellent machine, the best choice for those who today still shoot in analogue but at the same time want good electronic support Cons: It does not recognize the Nikkor lenses AF-S Series E (electronic diaphragm) or rather, recognizes them as focal, as autofocus and stabilization but you can not change the aperture that works precisely at all opening only Opinion: The Nikon F6 is an important, well built and very solid machine. Many compare it to a F100 a bit ' more ' massive but it is not so, the F6 is a machine built impeccably using solid and robust materials (just to cite an example, in the F100 the back door is entirely plastic)! Even the comparison with the good F5 still does not hold, the F6 has a bunch of functions that the F5 does not have (older project), for example: date back and intervalometer already integrated-more points and more autofocus mode-via the INFO button, below the rear display , you can access all the information regarding the films that have been used, with as much of date, ISO, focal and time/aperture for each shot and much more! They work perfectly all lenses Nikkor AF-S series G (where present also with stabilization) the Nikon F6 is definitely the best choice for those who today want to take pictures in analogue but with good electronic support!

 | Nikon AF 28mm f/1.4 D Pros: very bright lens and excellent quality Cons: very expensive, to love af / 1.4 Opinion: I personally believe that the wide angle of 28mm is the perfect focal (at least from my point of view). They Nikon and Canon will have more to catalog a 28mm f / 1.4; you have the 24mm f / 1.4, but it is not the same thing. In general, in my opinion, the 24mm is a focal already too wide, so the more specialized and less flexible than the 28mm ... then the Nikon 24mm f / 1.4 is also devoid of aperture ring and then with so many past machines is unusable. Returning to the Nikon AF 28mm f / 1.4 D confirm that it is a superb lens, it is certain that, as I mentioned in hand, to f / 1.4 is to love because the edges is not all that great (I like sharpness as he held the fall light) but in return has a fuorifuoco (bokeh) incredibly beautiful !! However, for what concerns the sharpness and vignetting all under control by f / 2 inclusive onwards. Clearly these impressions are closely linked to my personal lens. rnErmanno.rn sent on March 22, 2017 |
 | Gitzo Mountaineer GT 1542 Pros: Very light and very robust and stable while Cons: so far no one, except that, with what it costs, they could at least provide a tube of grease so that you can gain weight (as described by the instructions) the threads of the clamping bushings Opinion: I paired this with a Gitzo tripod GH1780QR head, the total weight is just 1,600 g. ... Really great stuff !! And the solidity and robustness are of absolute level. I tried it on heavy machines, Nikon D5 type with about 200-500 f5.6 or even Hasselblad 500CM with on the tele 500mm Tessar ... can not be faulted, really a recommended product, especially suitable for hiking and having a light tripod and always level with if. sent on December 31, 2016 |
