The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Canon EF 200mm f/2.8 L II USM Pros: Materials, handling, sharpness and color rendering. Cons: But what "against"? Opinion: I've wanted this lens for years. After deciding to abandon the zooms (except the practical 24-70 L F4, which will remain in the kit for a long time), I found what I call "the occasion": purchased used at RCE in Padua, practically new, I tested it for some shots on the 5D Mk. III : in post production I said "what is it for ?". Files that are exciting in terms of color rendering and sharpness. The 135mm, the Lord of the Red ring, has a very good competitor. Soon I will use it for portraits, where I am convinced will not disappoint me. Vote 10 full. sent on September 26, 2020 |
 | Canon EF 400mm f/5.6 L USM Pros: Light, compact, crisp, af lightning, price, built-in lampshade Cons: But what con? The lack of tropicalization, perhaps. Opinion: Purchased not even a month ago by a forum user at a more than reasonable price and in excellent condition. Attached immediately to the 5d Mk III for a few test shots on the sidewalk in front of the house, he immediately exalted me for the handling and balance with respect to the machine (with bg). Back in the house, I saw distinctly the neighbors on the terrace two hundred meters away... I wonder what he can get out of birdlife, if I'm capable of it. Convinced by the positive reviews I found at a hundred euros a kenko multiplier 1.4. Walk to Castiglione della Pescaia, a few photos at the Diaccia Botrona and you go home. In front of the PC the jaw fell on the keyboard : there was Grosseto in the background and stood out very well with an unexpected sharpness. This is the link to the photo: https://www.juzaphoto.com/galleria.php?t=3475083&l=it Conclusion: I paid 600 euros with all the factory kit and a camouflage cover and in conditions close to the new, has an excellent handling, beautiful colors, sharp abbestia, multipliable with little expense. I consider it a valid tool for naturalistic photos and in genres where mm are never enough but without compromise on the level of quality. sent on February 14, 2020 |
 | Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM Pros: Compact, light, quick, with a "retro" flavor, great start to avoid zooming, price. Cons: CA, poor sharpness at TA Opinion: I'm a lucky man in buying used material: I've never had a rip-off (for now...). I bought this lens more on a collector's whim than anything else. At the bottom I have a brand new 24-70L f4 which is really an all-rounder. So what? Yes, I really like the golden dash: sometimes there are L series, like the 85 or the 100 macro. This is not, it's not one of them: it's an honest lens that does its dirty job. It has an interesting focal point that allows you to range from the landscape to the Street to the photos of the hill trips to the framed portraits. It has good colors and returns files workable in terms of chromatic and spherical aberrations. Vignette a little but what you want to do, it's a lentinthat that makes you forgive everything: just keep it hooked for any exit and you will take home some nice shots. On FF it's also good for selfies: turn the car and press the button. Other than cell phones... I come back serious (although the comments above were sincere and responsive to my true impressions). The 28 can become LA lens to be mounted when deciding that photography can also be done by walking to look for the frame without taking everything to a zoom. When, in short, you want to take a step back to more consciously face the steps you will take forward. Compared to the price on the used, it is a fantastic lens that must be known. sent on February 04, 2020 |
 | Kenko Pro 300 DGX 1.4x Pros: AF, image quality, price Cons: For now, I'd say no one. Opinion: Purchased used by RCE for 110 euros with a year's seller's warranty, my model is almost identical to the new one. As soon as I arrived I immediately mounted it on Canon 5D Mk. III and 400 L 5.6 and... Show! You lose a stop, so you start as the maximum opening to f8, but you don't lose in quality compared to the smooth lens. Sharpness, chromatisms, everything seems more than discreet. A monitor, enlarging to 100 percent, you feel a minimum drop but nothing that can not be solved with a little sharpening. I have taken back well-lit bushes, almost in the backlight and does not present scandalous chromatic aberrations. The autofocus hooks without hesitation in the afternoon luca: I will soon take away the curiosity to try it in the dim light of the beech trees up, towards the Amiata. Some reviews refer to a certain game of optics on the multiplier: in my case none of this. I assume they came across somewhat mistreated objects where the bayonet suffered because of heavy optics left to dangle... Considering also the price of a Canon equivalent, also used, this contraption wins with low hands. It also refers to compatibility with optics that the original does not have. Why spend more? Recommended. sent on February 04, 2020 |
 | Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Pros: Tiny! It's in your pocket. It looks like a button but churns out respectable photos. Cons: Nothing. Opinion: It weighs a nonsense, clutterabouts zero. You put him on the car and then you swear because you think you came out with only the body. After a series of fairly targeted tests, I can say that it has an image quality that does not make you scream with joy, but the shot is there and you do not throw it. Maf spells like any other STM. Used costs a dinner in two. Combined with its machines, normally more minute than the FFs, it seems to have a compact. He doesn't miss anything. Over-recommended purchase for generalist use (considering the crop factor that returns a field angle very close to a 35mm on FF.) The minimum focus distance is paltry and allows you to take selfies with the reflex (I swear That I Do, When I'm in company), to the face of mobile phones. What more do you want? sent on December 21, 2019 |
 | Canon 50D Pros: Bellina, small (for my hands), every check in the right place. Good construction. 1/8000. Joystick. Cons: Considering the age, nothing, but to be pointy, lack according to slots for SD card (mounts only a cf). Opinion: Purchased for a handful of euros from a user of the market, complete with original bg. Excellent ergonomics, good sensor that is not to be compared with today's machines, but that manages to churn out respectable files. I had his granddaughter 80D and I have to say it remained in my heart. The little auntie does not make me regret it as a second (third) body. It is also ideal for weekend releases, where it is appreciated for its low volumes compared to bodies pro type 5d Mk. III. Tested with older usm optics, it responds quickly with a lightning maf. With L optics it's at its best. Good burst that also allows a coveted use of sports or fauna. For me, I prefer portraits and landscapes, almost useless but appreciable that there is. By setting raw-jpeg and firing the burst, the buffer doesn't "full" too quickly to agree to use a quick-write card. I'll take her out very often, that's for sure. sent on December 17, 2019 |
 | Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM Pros: Sharpness, excellent colors where the best of itself on non-recent sensors, size Cons: I can't find Opinion: Bought used with the ambitions to start to macro photography and still life, I always find it in the bag and often attached to the machine. It is a lens that makes you love both in portraits and in other areas like landscape (!): It produces an exhilarating sharpness with really pleasing colors. Attached to non-recent bodies of type 5d old and 1dsii gives more than dignified files. On newer sensors (5DIII and 6dii) it holds the highest density so much that it becomes really difficult to detach it. Moreover, with AF more performant (5DIII), it does not truant too much in the MAF, even in difficult situations. Given the price of the used, I feel strongly recommend it. sent on December 13, 2018 |
 | Canon 5D Mark III Pros: But what should I say?, it is an icon of digital photography. It has a thousand merits and the defect of being Canon, the house that unnerved Performance. Cons: Here too It is written about everything: do I have to say mine? Other planet, even just as a qualitative perception of Solidity. Opinion: Bought used with about 25000 shots at a well-known Marchigiano retailer, I have preferred for equal price, a guarantee formula that only a trader can Offer. well, compared to other machines that I own (, see profile), has an immediate behavior, however Versatile. A machine in the round, able to amaze still in spite of the 6 years of difference with the super Megapixels. Thousand five hundred euros of Enjoyment. Why did I buy it? To not deny me the pleasure of going out with a shotgun, if you decide to do other genres besides the portrait. sent on October 09, 2018 |
 | Benro TAD28C Pros: stability, Lightness and Versatility. Cons: I would say none, except for upgrades with Use. Opinion: Bought in physical store, I was looking for a tripod that I was able to withstand the weight of a Canon 1dsii and related optics and that guarantees the Safety. I opted for a carbon fibre because I knew I had to buy a fairly bulky item with moderate weight (1.5 kg headless). I took it for a use also outdoors for macro photography, since the bottom of the central rod can accept the head, turning the machine upside down, allowing to shoot on the ground. Equipped with a bag with shoulder strap, It has three metal tips, to be mounted in case of frozen ground and the Like. portraits, Landscapes and macros will be the activities to which I shall devote it. The center column does not become monopod, but I knew it at the time of Purchase. Subject to update this review, for now I feel I recommend it with eyes closed for those who have equipment from weights and important volumes. sent on October 04, 2018 |
 | Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L USM Pros: All Cons: Boh... Nothing. Opinion: I have it for a couple of days when I used it in any context I could think of, without artistic ambition, just to test. Optical excellence, he does not despise any photographic genre (except fauna, where it would be very short), he gave me photos fully satisfactory from the point of view of colors, sharpness etc. I mounted it on three different bodies (5d old, 1DsII and 6DII), well it left an indelible imprint on my heart especially in the portrait with embodied rendering that many dream and in the landscape where the sharpness from the 2.8 is already present in a sensational. Accustomed to fixed optics, I did not expect such a soft and engaging bokeh. Three-dimensionality is not an option in this beautiful lens. I thought I had some regrets for giving away the 70-200 F4 stabilized, but now it's just a pleasant memory. The weight? So what? Want a professional perspective? There is no plastic here and it's not for half-cartridges. For them, there are the ML. Here you are serious and you save on the gym. Enjoy! Update of 02/07/2018: brought to the field for a service for the soccer team. Well, you know, the light conditions after dark are terrible. Well, auto-ISO is TV at 1/250, to always fit at every focal time in security. Maremma! Opened to the Max, looking for the light and I say between me "farewell sharpness, diaphragm 2.8 I expect a disaster... "Instead, on the display, not known blurry or blurred. At home, on the monitor, I was pleasantly pleased. Caned about 3 photos on a 400 session and change. Gentlemen, take care that convincing a car like 6DII to play sports, well, chances are running. The machine, other times, had not betrayed me but even convinced too much. Tonight, with this light cannon, he gave me really effective photos with sharpness and three-dimensionality that I did not believe. In summary: It proved to be excellent even in critical situations where you need quick times but also sharpness and overall goodness of the image. He gave the Turtle 6d II a more gear! Weighs a bit, the difference with F4 is marked, but just a minimum to get used to it. Sconsigliatissimo to those who want "the doll outfit" where you weigh the equipment to travel light. I tell you more: attached to the 1ds Mk. II is Bilanciatissimo. Three kilograms. In all pure pleasure. sent on June 29, 2018 |
 | Canon 1Ds Mark II Pros: Everything, except the display Cons: Display laughable Opinion: I have in my hands a lady with an immaculate aesthetic, 75,000 shots cost a handful of hundred-euro sheets. Just a clean at the sensor. Stop. We all know the look and the weight that you can imagine, but the ergonomics is perfect: very balanced and solid. Also positioning it vertically you have the commands at your fingertip. The menu has its limits and the display is just right to take a look at the exhibition, but the photos it does, seen on the monitor, are really quality. The sample in my possession has the factory firmware and the machine accepts only cards with a capacity of less than 4 GB (in physical stores you can not find them, at least in my area). Only the obvious update to the problem. sent on March 06, 2018 |
 | Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Pros: Lightness, versatility, portability, color rendering, quietness and (hearing, hearing) sharpness throughout the focal range., Price. Cons: Outrageous hood that, if you do not remove the automatic maf, you risk ruining something to put it or take it off. The front lens rotates and the maf ring is the same. Opinion: Found practically new on ebay, I took it for a few mm. Plus in situations of sporting events. I already have the 70_200 is f4 L, but, in fact, at some moments I remain short. I tried in the park in front of the house in different diaphragms and I can not really complain since: it is clear enough, has an excellent color rendering, is quiet, has a very good stabilizer ... Of course you have to be careful do not rest your fingers on the ring of the maf because it rotates, but who cares. For 200 euros I found a sample that does not have the flaws mentioned by other users. I will use it mainly for soccer matches paired with the 70_200 f4 is L, on a second body. Apparently, I was lucky. sent on February 27, 2018 |
 | AmazonBasics - Borsa grande per fotocamera e accessori Pros: Price, size, capacity. Cons: The now famous cricket. Opinion: I bought this bag as an alternative to the backpack, to move the essential. Inside there is everything: in addition to a car body (Canon 6DII) I put the 24-70 L and the 70-200 L, chargers, filters, iPad, various adapters, etc. It has the ability to fix a tripod, but I'm afraid the weight would become too much to be borne by the plastic hooks that already squeak like psychopathic hamsters.rn Considering the expense you are facing, the bag has great value for money. sent on November 18, 2017 |
 | Canon EF 24-70mm f/4 L IS USM Pros: Sharpness, versatility, stabilizer, flare resistance, colors. Cons: Plastic barrel, sturdy, but plastic. Opinion: After having had for a few months (May /September 2017) the 24-105 Sigma Art, I decided to sell it together with the 80D to buy a 6D Mk II. Having already a 70-200, without this lens I would have been discovered on interesting focals for set portrait and street. I decided to buy this goal, after reading and rereading reviews here on Juza and made comparisons with older brother f 2.8. Forced by the budget available, I oriented myself on this glass and, barring surprises, I am fully satisfied. The sharpness, first of all, is remarkable already at TA, becomes incisive closing by a stop. It has a range of focal points that allows, in addition to the macro, to take photos of landscape, portrait set, street and portrait. The stabilizer does its job but I reserve the opportunity to check the opportunity to remove it in those shots with a short time, as suggested in other reviews. Pointed at the sun, or so, it has a strong resistance to unwanted reflexes. I don't think the Gobe UV filter has any influence. The yield on the colors is remarkable and I find it more saturated than the 70-200 f4 L. Zooming in, the lens lengthens and you immediately notice that the mobile barrel is plastic. The look gives you a feeling of robustness, but I don't like it. In summary: despite the plastic around, I think I have made an important and satisfying purchase. I close with reservation to add or modify something, if I check any detail that does not conform to the above. UPDATE OF AUGUST 01, 2019: I confirm what I reported in the review. I would add that the range of covered focals almost obliges me to keep it mounted every time it decides to travel light, leaving the heavy artillery at home. Sooner or later, in spite of the unexcellent brightness, I will employ it in a few night shots to the stars. See... sent on October 13, 2017 |
 | Canon 6D Mark II Pros: Ergonomics, AF module, tilting screen, sensor, burst. Cons: Absence according to slot and if I just want to be fussy, 1/4000 Opinion: I've been to FF for a few hours after having had an 80D. I was looking for a car that had the FF and the features I had used to the previous one. I tried it in the interior with an EF 85 1.8 and I noticed immediately a fair difference to the advantage of this car in terms of chromatic yield and dynamic range. The af module gave me the same impressions of speed and reliability even in poor light. I also tested it with the Helios 44-2 58mm and the MAF's confirmation microchip works as it should, backing up the files I'm pleasantly surprised with the colors: maybe it's suggestion given by the new toy but it seems best in everything, it's machine. rnI do not think that in my future there will be a need for time to shoot fast, so I do not perceive as severe mutilation the minimum time set at 1/4000. rnIt is unmistakable the lack of 4k, since the camera I bought it for making the photo. The thing that disturbs me is the lack of the second slot, but I knew before I bought itIn the next few hours I will see the yield with optics L, especially the 135.rn I will look for critical light conditions and then we will see. rnrnAggiornamento: I did a few dozen shots in really extreme backlight situations, both over-exposed and under-exposed, and I must say that, except for a few truly unrecoverable cases, I was able to retrieve detail. The high ISO noise is very low compared to what I was used to with the 80D (I think you will say somebody): there are not really comparisons on the 4000 ISO of each other room. I find the fact that I am a simple amateur so nobody takes my words as cast gold. rnrnIn summary, I am fully satisfied with the purchase since it seems to have found the ultimate camera for my needs. rnrn sent on October 10, 2017 |

RnrnThe first impression it has is solidity: the metal structure varnishesTo semi-matt also gives a sense of elegance. The design is modern and offers excellent ergonomics. The controls are arranged fairly and are intuitive. The engine immediately wraps the film with a hiss I would say nice. The display shows the number 1 that corresponds to the count.rnrnAt you can set the usual shutter modes: aperture, timing, manual, and auto priority. For setting the priority parameter value, the knob rotates above the shutter button : The value is visible on the lcd display (which is not lit.)

In addition, a round led that can be fixed by allowing the shutter or flashing, such as focus failure, preventing it. RnrnThe machine has full compatibility with all EF lenses, while EF-Socks can not be mounted. Being a machine designed and manufacturedIt's thirty years ago, I have to say that it has features of all respect that make it into the category of advanced semi-pro / amateur. A nice toy, in short, which is now affordable to a few tens of euros. I took it to € 69.50 with a 12-month warranty and I'm sure I did a great buy.rnrnThen I finish this review, reserving to upgrade if I find more interesting details in the future. sent on August 21, 2017 |
 | Zenit Helios 44-2 58mm f/2.0 Pros: Lightweight and compact, bright, versatile, price, blurred, contrast and sharpened closed-loop sharpness. Cons: No counter: I bought it for defects. Opinion: Bought on Ebay by a seller who restores the lenses, just opened the package I thought I had trimmed a new lens. But no: I paid for £ 63, a bang in comparison to the average, but it's really immaculate. Well, I proceed with the review: mounted on the Canon 80D with adapter with microchip of maf confirmation, it turned out to be a micro tacker that looks like a fork on the body. The specimen in my possession has fluid rings, clean blades and "new" lenses. Put to work, TA has unveiled the bokeh that I heard so much about: I was almost moved. The minimum distance of maf is really minimal and allows close shots. Brought out of the house during the golden hour, already at f4 begins to have a fine contrast, sharpness and saturated colors at the right point. He will be a great, small, easy-to-work companion. The purpose for which it is intended is an ambitious project. I hope to know how to squeeze. sent on July 26, 2017 |
 | Pentacon 200mm f/4 Zebra Pros: Light, accurate mafia, chromatic render, blurry convincing. Cons: I would say nothing Opinion: It came a few hours ago and tested with a microchip adapter. Great color rendering and sharpness at 5.6. I photographed in full light, with two side umbrellas, a red bottle of drink and I did not notice obvious aberrations. I will know better in time. The focus ring has a long stroke that allows accurate settings. Of course I did not buy it for impulsive use, but for a meditate shot. The background blur satisfies me and I look forward to the appreciable results that, if I feel worthy of the publication, will put them in a special gallery. sent on July 18, 2017 |
 | Canon EF 135mm f/2.0 L USM Pros: Cool, blurry, excellent Cons: What's wrong with that? Opinion: Someone complains about the lack of stabilization but is easily overviews by reducing the exposure time thanks to the brightness that this lens offers. Someone even complains about the small size of the AF button ... I go to laugh ... but the opinions have to be respected. RnrnI bought this lens a few days after buying a Pentacon focal point, just to see if I really needed a 216mm on APS-C for portraits. Finding myself comfortable, I've been dealing with the expense and ... well worth the effort, without taking the smart Pentacon out of it that really is a lens to recommend.rnrnA fast and precise autofocus, An excellent brightness that lets you take pictures in Low light conditions.

 | Canon 80D Pros: Lightweight, powerful and reliable in all situations, even in the dark or almost. Great workability of the files produced. Cons: I would say no. Opinion: The purchase was a consequence of the ascending monkey screaming to give back the 1100D that had been accompanying me for a few years. The difference is abysmal: it was like getting on a SuperTener and after getting off a scooter. The lack of the second slot is bad for the pros and I understand them, since I do not make ceremonies but important events are also in my private life and having a "life-buoy" becomes a motive of serenity. But it's ... rnrnThe touch touch and tilt touch is a choice that I appreciate a lot, except when it is outwardly oriented and comes with a shoulder strap: this is a functional and practical tool, especially when using lenses With no autofocus.rnrnThe connectivity is entrusted to an integrated WIFI module that allows you to work remotely using the smartphone. For anyone interested, I find the photo transfer function convenient, so that you can share the shots immediately. On myI-Pad3 tablet has no way of doing something. RnrnDuring the ability to make movies in Time-Lapse.rnrnWith its effectiveness in the focus and the new sensor technology, the car has a strong predisposition for the sporty or naturalistic photo Where accuracy associated with speed is indispensable. I'm not my kind so I can only talk about the times when I did some photos on the football matches of friends and associated with the 70-200 f4 ISL was well defended, considering I had to raise the ISO beasts due to the poor lighting environment . RnrnA kind of portrait I find a great companion. Associated with quality optics, then, it returns images that can do without post-production. RnrnTogether with friends I did some experiment of pseudo astro photography. Fun also using a light-weight lens like 10-18. RnrnParsimonious in power consumption, the battery has a lifespan that also allows sessions where you often use Live-View. I personally snap a lot in this mode and I also made 2%2F300 photos without walking. RnrnI do not have the skills that one can have a professional, but I can say that the car in question has so many features that make it a serious, durable and reliable work tool. sent on July 05, 2017 |
 | Pentacon 135mm f/2.8 Pros: Lightness, brightness, blurry quality, price Cons: In my opinion, no one Opinion: I recently bought this lens on the bay. The Canon 135mm f2 series L monkey was making heady but could not deal with the shopping after taking the Sigma 24-105 Art, so I decided to give me an idea if the focus was really needed without having to sell the second kidney .rnrnI used it for a few photos "on the fly" outside the door. The manual maf has turned out to be a handicap to which the lens has come up with a fluid and long ring, so that I can focus carefully. I then took it with me for a session of shots at a bar owned by friends and I was amazed that it has not shown aberrations or particular defects, despite the light a bit difficult to handle and I was impressed by the quality of the blur that It will not be comparable to that of highlights and not even Pentacon's 15 blades, but I do not complain at all. This is a "meditation" goal, where shooting preparations are crucial and manageableWith more care than with other lenses. Rnrn For those who want to get an idea about it, I've brought back the most significant images on my profile, in a specially created gallery. sent on June 20, 2017 |
