leica_summilux_sl50_f1-4Leica Summilux-SL 50mm f/1.4 ASPH

Pros: very high quality, blurred among the best ever seen, rendered by lux optics

Cons: weight, AF speed not always at the top in low contrast conditions

Opinion: Exceptional portrait lens, it guarantees a very high yield at any opening, without the slightest presence of AC or distortion. It creates an impressive 3d detachment effect, while maintaining the creaminess in the blurry, that is, a transition from the focus zones to the absolutely superb out-of-focus zones. Forget the yield of sigma optics at 1.4, the blurry is of a different paste, never nervous. Among the cons, in addition to the price but it is not a con when talking about a hand-built optics and with such a quality standard, there is obviously the weight (when compared to another 50 ini, but if we talk about portrait optics Sigma makes them bigger... not to mention the weight of canon 85 1.2, which I had....) Another counter is the speed of the focus that in some situations of low brightness and poor contrast (the Leica SL has focus through contrast variations), has some uncertainty and this "gives" several blurry shots. To avoid focus with facial recognition on the SL with such a lens, it is better to go on an AFs focus (not continuous AFc) and with the setting of focus points or spots or zone. Apart from these small problems, but in Leica they have developed the lens well knowing about this but focusing rather on the maximum possible yield, I can say that it is a stratospheric lens that I will never sell.

mamiya_rb67prosdMamiya RB67 Pro SD

Pros: High optical quality, cockpit viewfinder brightness, bellows that allows macros without extensions, very high negative quality, works without batteries, revolving back

Cons: maximum shutter limited to 1/400. high probability of having to replace all internal lightproof seals

Opinion: purchased about a month ago, after various researches... I was looking for a medium 6x7 format to increase the quality of my denied and especially because it is the only medium-sized machine that allows you to rotate the film door in order to take shots in portrait or landscape mode... which is very useful because with the other medium format, if you like to look in the cockpit, taking "portrait" shots means physically turning the machine with impossibility to look in the cockpit, making it in fact mandatory to mount a pentaprisma that does not gives the same feel as the cockpit. With this Mamiya you can then change the type of camera always looking in the same beautiful cockpit viewfinder. The only one against this machine is the weight not indifferent: with loaded film and sekor lens 127 mm, the whole thing weighs the beauty of 2.6 kg, a good 1.3 kg more than the zenza bronica etrsi with 75 mm (which however is a 6x4.5)... therefore those with weight problems should not take it or at most consider the newer sister Rz67 pro Sd that weighs significantly less.

canon_70-200_f2-8_v2Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS II USM

Pros: sharpness, build quality, focal excursion, multiplicable, stabilized, tropicalised, beautiful lens

Cons: weight, but you know

Opinion: I do not know what else to say about this sacred monster ... it's true it's heavy (for this I did not give 10 but "only" 9, even if there was a 9.5 I would have given this as a vote) .rn absolutely stratospheric, sharpness to TA and for the whole focal excursion, stabilized by fear, even with multiplier 1.4 I enjoyed it. The colors are fantastic.rnI am absolutely satisfied with the purchase and I'm not worried about the weight: I did a whole weekend with this baby and I came out alive.rnCerto the price is challenging but if you think about the results and satisfactions that can give away, after a while you do not think about it anymore!

leica_elmarit_180_f2-8rLeica Elmarit-R 180mm f/2.8

Pros: sharp in the middle and soft the right, very good focus, beautiful lens despite age, manual focus, brightness

Cons: manual focus (but is it a real counter ??), not stabilized (is it a real cons?)

Opinion: another lens tried a few days ago with adapter ring on the canon 5d mk2, used with great satisfaction.rnOttimo colors, warm and with an excellent focus to TA if the subject off the background well.rnNon is not focaccia with a manual 180 and not stabilized but once taken the hand is absolutely priceless. I love this lens even if my heart has been kidnapped by the 135 Leica R 2.8

leica_elmarit135_f2-8rLeica Elmarit-R 135mm f/2.8

Pros: unobtainable quality of the lens, colors, blurred by fear, manual focus

Cons: weight not really feather

Opinion: I tried this fantastic portrait lens for the first time a few days ago with an adapter ring on my canon 5d mk2 ... I know it's almost a heresy do not try it on a Leica, but I could not resist.rnGood photo, blurred to 2, 8 from fear, beautiful color rendering, manual focus that, contrary to what you might think, is fast and far from difficult.rnCI only takes a few test shots and then it goes to burst without problems.rnrnGamma dynamic and yield General colors beautiful, the shots made with this lens come out almost always perfect from the room without the need of particular Post ProduzionernAh is Leica and this also creates charm and does not cost so much.rnrnBellissima

canon_24-105Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM

Pros: excellent focal excursion, handyman, tropicalized, quality L, F4 on all excursion, tropicalized, used price

Cons: not very bright

Opinion: Another L series lens taken with the FF kit and of which I am absolutely satisfied. It is tropicalized, has a great focal excursion such that you can carry around this lens alone on days where you want to be relatively light and without too many commitments.rnF4 opening on the entire excursion and, although not very bright, is stabilized and allows you to use embarrassing shutter speeds (I shot freehand with 35mm stabilizer with times of 1/15 and 1/20 without shake) rnFosse was a 2.8 would be the almost perfect lens, but there is 24-70 for that (and at a double price)

canon_17-40Canon EF 17-40mm f/4.0 L USM

Pros: L-series lens, tropicalized, fluid ferrules, weight, F4 on all focal lengths, colors and sharpness in the center

Cons: hood in fact a little cumbersome, sharpness at the edges (but it is a wide-angle), not stabilized (but not a problem), F4 (but clear already in TA)

Opinion: One of my first L series lenses canon, absolutely happy to have it as it has a bang of merits and very few defects.rnColori in my opinion warm enough (perhaps to heat slightly but nothing that), sharpness at full aperture and throughout the focal excursion. Better to have a bright zoom (2.8) but with little sharpness at TA or a zoom darker but clear already immediately? I say the second, especially on a wide angle.rnrnNon is stabilized but being a wide angle I do not need it. Extremely fluid and very tropicalized dials complete a lens that will remain in my kit for a very long time.rnrnAssolutely satisfied.

canon_5d2Canon 5D Mark II

Pros: constructive quality, solidity, high ISO resistance, good dynamic range, tropicalized

Cons: few AF points, slow autofocus with some lenses like 85 1.2, noisy shooting, non-tiltable display, shadow recovery

Opinion: I've been using this camera for about 6 months now, I've taken several photos and different types with different lighting. Obviously passing from a canon 550d the jump was huge for me and I am fully satisfied. I have not yet had the opportunity to try the long exposure to the Milky Way but I am confident that I will get very very good results.rnThe tightness at high ISO, for a camera body of 2008 substantially, is in my opinion excellent. Obviously the new camera bodies are much better but I'm not complaining at all, indeed! RnNon I'm more afraid to shoot at 1600 up to 3200, over begins to become annoying noise, but I happened to still make beautiful photos.rnWater quality from professional camera, it feels beautiful solid in hand, not really light but I like to feel good in the room. The use combined with different objectives and the only thing I have to say does not satisfy me fully is the scarcity of AF points present and especially limited in the central part of the viewfinder, forcing sometimes to crop or reassemble.rnRicompose that in some cases is not really comfortable, example with very bright lenses (from 1.8 down) because the focus changes even slightly resulting in errors focusing on the subject.rn Another note perhaps sore is the recovery of shadows: yes is in a hurry to get to the limit manageable in this case, so you have to think already during shooting to overexpose if possible to not have problems then areas too dark.rnI menu in my opinion is very intuitive, with little practice is done in a hurry to master the controls and the keys are generally in the right places.rnPerhaps the reactivity of some keys is not the best, especially the "joystick" that sometimes does not seem to respond immediately .... but perhaps only a small negligible defect of my model. I definitely consider it an excellent camera to photograph and I am absolutely satisfied with the transition from the old 550d. recommended!

samyang_14Samyang 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC Aspherical

Pros: Brightness, component quality and solidity

Cons: Lack tropicalization, fixed louver, manual focus

Opinion: I took this lens for my trip to Iceland and mainly for the Northern Aurora, and despite my canon 500d, I managed to take home with all my respects to be my first time with a reflex.rnrnconsidering the Icelandic climate, Perhaps a tropicalization would have been more suitable, but it still kept very good. The fixed focal point was used to make great shots, even though the fixed hood is a bit cumbersome but you get used to it. Rnrn The only flaw is the manual focus that requires some familiarity: some photos unfortunately have been blurred for the closest subjects. RnrnValent lens for landscape photography and at night

manfrotto_befreeManfrotto BeFree

Pros: Light weight, really small dimensions and excellent billing materials

Cons: Lack of levels, stability not to the top

Opinion: I took this tripod because I needed to travel by plane and could not carry my main stand more than 60cm ... this Manfrotto is very comfortable and sufficiently stable, although I'm afraid it is not so stable in adverse weather conditions (for example I believe that in suction areas like Iceland it is unsuitable.) The ball head supplied for now is pretty stable and very tight with my photo kit (canon 500d and samyang 14mm), but I will evaluate in the future whether to replace it in By virtue of a more professional head. RnrnTo all I can feel satisfied for now, given the cost, and I will check in brief if it was actually a good buy or not.
