Reviews of cameras, lenses, tripods, heads and other accessories written by GiampaT

The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator.

Nikon AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR

Pros: Resolution and sharpness, very fast in focus, excellent color rendering. Excellent keeping of the price of the used. (Price to new European import with Italian guarantee much cheaper than the official importer.)

Cons: Nothing particular. It is initially necessary to become familiar with the inverted dials; also not to move them accidentally being very soft.

Opinion: Before buying it, about four months ago, I considered the previous VR version, the Tamron g2 and the Sigma Sport. With everyone, courtesy of a shop in my town, I took a few test shots. In the end I decided for the Nikkor FL. If you have to drown, you might as well do it in the sea!! It is not secondary to switch ALL metadata, including fixes, to PS. Not only do technical tests place it on top of all the others, including Sony G Master, but also in concrete use it has proven unbeatable. Only in some cases, by direct comparison, has it proved to be no less or equal. Stunning chromatic yield. Generally mind-blowing focus speed; it is very difficult to get him into difficulty, (but not impossible). VR does its job well. Of course, like all zooms, you can't compare it to the quality of a fixed optics, but the lack makes it feel only on rare and particular occasions.

Manfrotto MH804-3W

Pros: Comfortable and fast.

Cons: Finishes and knobs not up to the name. You have to tighten the knobs well to the bottom if you do not want to see the machine rotate suddenly, even if it is abundantly below the declared 4kg.

Opinion: I bought it in kit mounted on the 290 Dual Tripod. I did it on blind trust at Manfrotto but I do not know if I would do it again. I've been using it for even a month. All in my opinion is not worth what it costs, I expected more even in the finishes. Maintaining the verticality of the column is not very accurate, but for an incorrect constructional cut of the components of the 3rd section of the tripod, however. I explain: stretch your legs all the way down and place the tripod on a perfectly horizontal plane, bubble the machine both on the spherical head level or with the plane's level, if you rotate the machine you lose the verticality. Not much but it happens. Instead, if we stop at the elongation of section 2 this does not happen. I repeat: more a problem of the easel than the head.
