The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM II Pros: Excellent quality both for resolution and autofocus for a focal length that cannot be renounced Cons: At the moment I don't see any Opinion: With a bit of hesitation I have recently replaced the already excellent 35 1.4L first version. I wanted to update this indispensable focal length in a valuable photographic kit. From the first photos compared with the old man I struggled to notice a substantial difference, but then comparing the raw on the screen the extraordinary performance of the second version begins to be noticed, especially at the extremes of the frame. The slight aberration present at TA in mark1 disappears and with mark2 there is greater contrast and definition, a global perception of sharpness over the whole photo. However, I'm talking about slight differences, as the first version I owned was already excellent for an amateur not sick with pixelmania. Still using both the reflex system (which I will not abandon) and the mirrorless, I was also thinking about the 35 R, but reading here and there I realized that it did not improve this 35 ii, although adding some functions that only videomakers appreciated. On the contrary, the R version has a greater vignetting and distortion, ok correctable in the camera or with software. In addition, with a greater outlay of money, so except for a few cases (50-85) the R versions have not improved much the corresponding EF versions as far as fixed focal lengths are concerned. This mk2, despite already having about ten years since its debut, remains a reference for this focal length, to be compared perhaps with the Zeiss Milvus 35 1.4 only but which however is and remains a manual focus albeit mechanically, like all Zeiss, at the state of the art. sent on April 21, 2025 |
 | Canon RF 100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS USM Pros: Excellent realization, it makes you want to take macro photos while walking or stopping to catch the insect. Creative possibilities with the spherical aberration shift ring of the lenses. Reproduction factor 1:4 and it is not a small thing, perhaps unique compared to contemporary competitors. Cons: The bracket for the tripod is missing, the red dot on the caps would not have sent the company into bankruptcy. High price at the moment. Opinion: Very fun to use, sharpness and features in line with the best. I find it very versed not only for macros. It is not made for macro superspecialists, but it also comes close to their needs even without slides and manual focus supe precise Leica 100 apo macro style. Adjusting the spherical aberration brings you closer to the Trioplan effect, but loses sharpness that cannot be recovered even by acting on manual focus. A real shame! sent on August 14, 2024 |
 | Sony RX100 V Pros: A miniature reflex, pocket size (pockets of standard size, garments with a few X) Cons: Price, delicacy, menu not very intuitive, small keys Opinion: It's basically a concentrate of everything a professional would want on a reflex, clearly compared to a 1 ' ' sensor and speed. With The advantage of extreme portability, and I don't think there are many others with the same merits. Excellent sensor and then images, flash and viewfinder embedded in the body. Against a high price (each upgrade costs €400 more or slightly less). But beware, treat it as a model pro, delicacy, elusive look, to be touched or touch with a pressure of the fingers of a few Newton! If it falls, and it is not so difficult if it is not relegated for decades in the Cabinet of family jewelry, are pains for the wallet. The assistance (I would say inadequate for the experience), adjusts the cost of a probable repair at the price of the item and certainly not at the cost of the pieces. But idem goes for objects, machines and tools that stand out for technology, appeal and uniqueness. Good Luck! sent on April 02, 2019 |
 | Meyer Gorlitz Primoplan 58mm f/1.9 (1952) Pros: Boken Cons: Sharpness and low flare resistance Opinion: What about so many flaws? Perhaps It is not the case because it offers artistic potential that can not be measured in the laboratory. Boken in Primis, with the addition of a swirl effect that is lacking in other vintage optics of the same category and historical era. It Is worth owning because it gives the opportunity to paint not with the brush, but with an ancient piece of glass and metal. sent on March 27, 2019 |
 | Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM Pros: Very sturdy (a battleship), versatile, relatively light Cons: It can certainly not compete with the younger twin II series, but that costs more than 1k € more, obvious no?? Brightness acceptable for daytime use. Opinion: Very versatile and even if a little seasoned competes quietly with other similar newer, see Sigma and Tamron, to which I preferred after a direct confrontation. The robustness and reliability after many years of its appearance are a guarantee. Very sharp and versatile, although as mentioned it is not the top in all focal lengths. It is not a super bright, so it does not compare to a 2.8 or F4 fixed, but it does very well its duty even with a stabilizer dated but always functional. Enjoy it for the money you can buy in the used market! sent on December 07, 2018 |
 | Canon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM Pros: Three-dimensional yield in the first place. Very bright, balanced as size and weight. Almost to envy a Leica 35 with the red strip instead of the red dot that you can detach it much easier than the strip! Cons: IT IS NOT A ZOOM. The same drawbacks that might have the 50L. But can you find out if the result is superb? I know only photographers who have places and people as subjects and not good laboratory optics! Opinion: Canon's historic lens. Very bright but not impossible to handle. Perfect companion of the same masterpiece, always Canon, 85L f 1.2. If you can compare it with the Canon 50 f1, then it will be very clear with a comparable three-dimensional effect. If you are looking for greater clarity that many current optics do better, but with more than double cash outlay. I do not think it's worth it. Stabilizer? But for charity! Just a solid mechanical construction like this, a good autofocus, how is this and what else? sent on May 18, 2017 |
 | Zeiss ZE/ZF.2 Makro-Planar T* 100mm f/2 Pros: Smaller, faster, color rendition. Well, needless to repeat, mechanical unsurpassed! Made a little 'more surgical than the Contax Zeiss 100f2 even exceptional. Last but not least, by resolution record! Next!! (Zeiss always, of course!). Cons: In certain situations with strong contrast longitudinal chromatic aberration but only on TA. Again, only in a few situations and with certain combinations of light-contrast. Opinion: A fantastic lens for the pros listed. Bokeh well structured, versatile for street, macro and portraits. Microcontrast that distinguishes these realizations optical Teutonic school for decades. Although macro 1:2 ratio, you can take wonderful shots at close range (about 40 cm). I do not would replace with the excellent canon 100 macro and had in the past with other qualities. Recommended to all those who want to add a little 'personality and art with respect to all automatic! sent on October 15, 2013 |
