The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 Pros: Quality/price, weight and clutter, blurred, sharpness, color yield... Cons: ... really for 150 coffees do you want to find flaws? Opinion: The premise, I tried it on A7III where the inaccuracy of the af is practically non-existent or at least the experience is not as dramatic as praised by many. It is not lightning but in portraiture behaves with dignity especially I found the eye-af quite accurate. At the level of mechanical noise I tried worse lenses and if on video it could be a problem, in photography it is a totally secondary aspect. Sharpness is too much. I tested it in a study context to medium-intermediate diaphragms and I consider it comparable to my 55 zeiss from this point of view. Maybe not a llama from board to board but for the proposed price, what more do you want? A Sigma Art? Plus it's very light. Plastic construction but of good quality. Taken at less than 150 euros with the black friday is practically gifted. sent on December 16, 2019 |
 | Sony A7 III Pros: Sensor quality (raw processing, shadow recovery, iso etc.) excellent, exceptional autofocus, ergonomics and grip (yes, I like it!), battery life, eye-af in afc that doesn't miss a beat, so many possibilities of programming keys, endless features... Cons: ... good but not excellent viewfinder and screen (the second not fully oriented), limited touch, gray maf square (but I hope in an update like for the A9) Opinion: It can be summed up as follows: a complete machine in all respects. I have already written in the summary, but I would like to make it clear that the cons do not limit their use at all, or at least, not mine. A fw update for the A9 has just come out and among other improvements it "colors" the maf point. Well, I hope that this feature is also released for the A7III, the gray square sometimes camouflages a little too much... The much-mused grip (or general ergonomics), will be that I have hands of human size and not cyclopic, I find it excellent and not disturbing, despite always using reflex. Lightning autofocus with flawless eye tracking especially in afc. I knew the rest of the mirrorless features from A6000/6500, but I repeat the fact that once you try... you don't go back! Good sight, maybe not excellent but very usable, ditto for screen resolution. Touch comfortable but limited. Finally a cheer on the battery life that does not make me regret my old system :) sent on September 26, 2019 |
 | Sony FE 55mm f/1.8 ZA Sonnar T* Pros: Sharpness, blurry, colors, af, light and compact, construction... Cons: Price? Opinion: A lens that you love or hate. I personally, left the initial skeptics and trying it on the field, I'm adoring it so much that the 85 FE for the kind of shots I prefer stays locked in the backpack since I bought this 55 :D Focal in my opinion ideal for portraits set or semi-set, whole bodies and half busts with excellent sharpness already at 1.8 that closing slightly (and here I steal the term used in another review because I particularly liked) becomes 'moving'. Excellent rendering of colors and backlight but graphics and technicalities I leave them to the most experienced. I really like the blurring and the "detachment" although it clearly depends on light and background. Af fast and silent. I preferred it to that boulder of Sigma Art despite the price lined up (except offers) because of the small size and the reduced weight sacrificing a little brightness. Let's talk about the price: it's true, 800-900 euros are quite especially if you think it's "only" a 1.8 and maybe I would never have spent them but I found on Amazon an attractive and including cashback offer cost me in total about 540 euros, clearly new. In my opinion even if the quality there is all the "right" price is between 500/600 but I would have been satisfied even if I had bought it in full :) sent on September 11, 2019 |
 | Sony FE 90mm f/2.8 Macro G OSS Pros: Top sharpness from F2.8 to F13, construction, stabilization, excellent mf/af pass, tropicalized, very pleasant blurry, q/p (especially if on offer with cb), ac contained... Cons: ... sharpness drop from F14. Opinion: Given that I use it mainly in manual focus on tripod to make macros (first on the A6500 then on A7III) it turns out to be a very versatile lens as it becomes an excellent medium canvases for portraits because of the beautiful blurred. Sharp from scare up to F11, excellent again at F13/14, closing further starts a dizzying drop but I don't often get up that much. The construction is very solid and in the hands of a sense of quality. Excellent the dial that allows a quick switch from mf to af and the button on the barrel. It's not very light but it balances well on bodies A. Efficient stabilization and tropicalization go to complete a lens in my opinion to have absolutely in their Sony kit in both apsc and ff. Price all in all competitive given what it offers (and competition), with cashback becomes even cheaper. sent on September 10, 2019 |
 | Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 Pros: Sharpness, size and weight, blurry, autofocus, customizable button, solid construction, MAF ring Cons: Price (?), stabilization (but having us in the car...) Opinion: Taken to match with a A7III since the focal is the one I prefer for portraiture. Initially undecided between this and the Batis, after some reflection I chose to save by opting for the Sony (exploiting the cashback I took it home for €500). Choice even if comparing it with the competition is perhaps a little ' too expensive. Anyway, I tried it at an event and it was immediately love. Also crisp to TA (pure too), precise and silent AF and low weight. Very useful the button on barrel that I immediately assigned to the eye-AF function. I also really like the ring nut to focus in manual but the construction in general is rather pleasant to the touch, gives a sense of solidity. Blurry very but very enjoyable. I'm sure it will give me great satisfaction:) sent on June 12, 2019 |
 | Sigma 56mm f/1.4 DC DN C Pros: Sharpness, Bokeh, compactness, Q/P outstanding, AF, perfect pairing with A6500... Cons: ... If you find me Opinion: Excellent Lens for portrait (and not only) at a very interesting price (import little more than €300...). Already happy owner of a 30mm 1.4 I wanted to expand the family to have a focal/PDC equivalent (about) to a 85 1.8 that I used on FF. My expectations have been widely met so much so that I sell the 50 oss. In combination with a Sony A6500 you have in your hands an impeccable war machine that does not miss a shot. Excellent Sharpness even at full aperture, precise AF, top construction and reduced weights make it a Best buy for all Sony APSC owners. sent on March 28, 2019 |
 | Sony A6500 Pros: Light and compact, AF very high performance, advanced features of MF and more, articulated screen (only in part), customization keys/nuts, eye-af also in AFC, Wi-Fi, excellent electronic viewfinder, burst, efficient stabilization, tropicalization, Bluetooth, touch screen convenient to select MAF point, Excellent sensor in general with good ISO and raw definitely rich... Cons: Limits of an APS-C sensor, LCD screen not at height and limited in movements, non-infinite optical park, battery life, shutter speeds 1/4000 Opinion: I'm not going to dwell. From the already excellent A6000 I switched to this little gem to get completely into the world Sony ml without regrets (I had a Nikon D600). It is worth more or less the same judgement I had expressed for the little A6000 with the addition of the features that made me decide to upgrade. Tropicalization, improved sensor, efficient stabilization, eye AF in AFC and various improvments. I really enjoyed the touch function to select the MAF point. I knew against them and as far as I'm concerned the only real note is on the screen that I find a little ' scarsio especially absurd that the resolution is lower than the A6300... Purchase however Stra-recommended. It has everything you need in little weight and with the right optics you forget (almost) the full format. sent on November 20, 2018 |
 | Sony E 50mm f/1.8 OSS Pros: Sharpness, colour rendition, stabilizer, compactness Cons: Nothing Opinion: Although the 50mm on APSC is a "particular" focal length (equivalent to a 75mm) I must admit that it is giving me a lot of satisfaction. The use mainly for portraiture and returns exceptional colors (especially the complexion) with excellent sharpness, even at 1.8. Fulfilling Bokeh with a good deadlift (clearly not comparable to FF systems). Efficient stabilizer and compactness make it a Best buy on Sony ML. Looking forward to see if the new 56 1.4 Sigma can say its, I highly recommend buying it. sent on November 19, 2018 |
 | Sony A6000 Pros: Light and compact, very high performance AF, advanced features of MF and more, Q/P ratio, articulated screen, customization keys/nuts almost from semi pro, eye-AF (although not in AFC), Wi-Fi, electronic viewfinder, Gust... At this price what do you want more? Cons: Limits of an APS-C sensor, not excellent screen but sufficiently adequate to the expense, non-infinite optical park and at a high price, battery life (but it is known) Opinion: Bought a short time ago and I still have to dissect its potential. I state that I come from a D3300 then passed to FF with a D600 (which I do not close in the drawer). Why buy then a A6000? But of course, to reduce weight and clutter, with this little girl your back thanks! Clear, the limits of an APS-C sensor We know them especially when you have tasted the full format but are limits that in some contexts are not so obvious or however to an amateur photographer affect relatively. Stacco of the tops, crop, high ISO etc. with the right optics and especially the correct technique even the reduced size can tell its. I did not choose the elder sister (A6300) because the jump did not feel so drastic and I preferred to save a few grams/euros to invest in optics. Idem for the A6500 even if the internal stabilizer always makes a throat. We will see in the future what we will get Sony. Af very performant and seasoned by interesting and convenient features also for manual focus as focus peaking, Magnifier, eye-AF (this not in AFC, sin). Excellent burst but I still have not exploited. The electronic viewfinder (coming from a pentaprism) is one of those things that most worried me in the passage to ML but the trauma there was indeed, being able to have a slide of what will be the final shot in addition to keep everything under eye is a comfort not just! This will be the future, there is little to do nostalgic. The keys are widely customizable and the dials easy and fast access (timing, ISO, diaphragms etc.). The screen does not excels but is sufficient, but compensated by the fact that it is articulated (even if limited in movements). Great for making macro and landscapes. The Wi-Fi I had always snubled but it comes back very comfortable in file transfer contexts and remote control. The image quality seems to me very good as well as the machinability of the raw. The native optics there are even if embarrassing the comparison of quantity when compared with the two big. They also cost a lot but the quality is there. In any way there are very valid alternatives at lower prices (see Sigma C Series, Samyang...). For the battery life I was aware, nothing to add (reserve Patona and Via). It does not seem so chaotic the menu as described by many. Different from what I was used to but it takes a little to take our hand. I have not taken it for video so I do not express myself on this aspect. I hope you give me great satisfaction. sent on September 21, 2018 |
 | Benro iT15 Pros: Weight, build quality (price-related), interchangeable head, housing, functionality, flip tightening Cons: Overview function Opinion: Taken as a travel/hiking tripod to minimize weights and clutter and to pair with a very light mirrorless. I still have not tested it thoroughly but I think very solid and excellent build quality related to the price (I got an offer I took it to about 60 euros). It is full of features such as the possibility to turn it into monopod, the hook for ballast etc. The ball head (ARCA Swiss) for the use to which it is destined performs perfectly its work but being interchangeable it is possible to assemble also something more performanant. There is no possibility to rotate it for scenic shots, if you really want to find the fur in the egg. Excellent tightening flip lock, which I prefer. Comes with a comfortable bag. Recommended. sent on September 19, 2018 |
 | Sigma 105mm f/2.8 Macro DG OS HSM Pros: Sharpness, stabilizer, construction, accessories, colors, blurred, AF, price Cons: Noisy stabilizer, tropicalization (but at this price you can not ask for more) Opinion: After kit lenses It was my first serious fix. Purchased during an offer on Amazon at an exceptional price, the best money spent in the photographic field (and not only), it is worth them all and even more. A vision that I use with extreme satisfaction in portraits and clearly in macro. Scary sharpness even at TA and very pleasing bokeh. With the passage to the FF (D600) I appreciated more the surrender in portraiture and the focal, which on D3300 was a bit ' long, in the full format has taken a new dimension. Stabiliser efficient Although a little noisy but in macro (manual) No need, ergo.. Excellent equipment and quality construction. Stra-Recommended, at this price then... sent on July 25, 2018 |
 | Nikon D600 Pros: Semi-pro body, raw, battery life, ergonomics and lightness, sight, iso hold Cons: tilting screen, too close to af point? Opinion: Taken a few months ago. I managed to find an exceptional (practically new) used in the store that withdrawing my D3300 + two lenses sold me for 50 €! Of course, I had to get two optics to cover the focal points I used the most (I only had 105 sigma, among other things perfect on this machine) but for the rest no regrets. Obviously a cameraman like me could very well stay with the 3300 while being an entry had (he!) An excellent performance but being a fan of astrophysics made my throat a better hold on the iso. The thing that you immediately notice when you switch to a semi pro body is the fast commands (double ring), the second lcd screen, the excellent viewfinder, and in short, all those comfortably functions that an entry level does not have. After some time of use you will not be able to do it any more! I would have preferred to have a tilting screen, and even though it has not perceived the limit, maybe the focal points in some situations might be a problem. Good battery life as well as l% 26 # ergonomics and not excessive weight (for a ff). Raw are exceptional, a pleasure to work in post. sent on September 10, 2017 |
 | Lowepro Flipside 400 AW Pros: Aesthetically pleasing, convenient and comfortable, opening 'theft', excellent idea to have access to the equipment without having to lay on the ground, good (but not great) materials, front pocket, rain cover Cons: port useless and inconvenient tripod compartment for bulky tripod, generally not very large, for q / p is better Opinion: It seems a photo backpack and this makes it an unobtrusive and aesthetically pleasing object. The materials seem well made and I still a sense of solidity and security is also quite handy and comfortable on your shoulders and be able to access the equipment without having to rest on the ground is a remarkable gem. Also useful the rain cover. rnOra the painful notes. If they had moved a few centimeters more about the tripod door pocket belt and expanded slightly to insert the feet, perhaps to carry a bulky tripod (eg Manfrotto 290xta) it was more comfortable. In this way one must strive not just to make it stable also, inevitably, the contents of the front pocket is crushed. rnDa photos found on the net looked like it could hold the world but the interior is actually smaller than I hoped. Fortunately, the front pocket is enough (but not very) large and can accommodate some accessory. rnPrezzo excessively high sales for me and queI'm in my opinion does not make a product q / p interesting (there are better alternatives). rnPeccato, with some changes and a few more $$$ in less could become a must have. My 2 cents. rn sent on April 01, 2017 |
