olympus_12-45_f4proOlympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-45mm f/4 Pro

Pros: Compact, lightweight, solid construction

Cons: missing FN key and MF clutch

Opinion: I had both the 12-40 and the 12-100 but in the end as a handyman I kept this one and sold all the others because I gave priority to compactness which is fundamental for me, as I hate to shoot with too flashy and above all heavy guns; Perfect as a travel and touring lens, especially paired with a fixed one like the 20mm Pro you get a tiny and tropicalized system with a negligible weight, excellent for trips with only one hand luggage on the plane for example, where space is limited. Super sharpness as for the big brothers, I didn't notice any significant differences. Very solid metal construction, a pleasure to handle and use like all lenses in the pro olympus/OM series. Used in the Moroccan desert and in the medina of Marrakech where changing lenses is quite complicated due to the large amount of dust and pollution, no problems encountered. Too bad only for the lack of the function button and clutch manual focus but I guess it was necessary to give up to keep the lens very compact. If you are looking for a compact zoomino ready for anything, I recommend it, especially for series 1 and series 5 bodies

sirui_traveler_5cxSirui Traveler 5CX

Pros: 900g including head, Arca Swiss, Carbon, General construction, Leg adjustment system, Dog tags sold separately in case of loss

Cons: screw hooking of the plate to the machine body uncomfortable because you necessarily need a coin or the Allen included in the package

Opinion: It should be the lightest tripod on the market, about 900g head included I think it is the ideal choice for trekking, travel and challenging excursions. Super compact once closed and you can save additional weight by unscrewing the central column to attach the head directly to the base. Clearly not suitable for important weights or lenses too protruding both for the slender structure of the tripod especially with all the sections open, and for the head which, although decent, does not guarantee a granite block if loaded with too much weight. On Amazon, during some commercial events, it is often discounted around 100 euros. I really liked it, great compromise if you are looking for a quality ultralight solution, far superior to the various mini tripods in circulation that weigh the same as this.

olympus_12-100_f4proOlympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-100mm f/4.0 IS Pro

Pros: sharpness, focal range, versatile

Cons: Weight sometimes makes itself felt

Opinion: Usual excellent lens Olympus Pro completely in metal, great sharpness almost at all apertures and great versatility since it is a 24-200 EQ. Very recommended for trips, various excursions or mountain trekking where you do not always have the possibility or the desire to change lens. Less recommended for light tourist type outings in European cities because after a while the weight and size are felt, but this depends on your resistance. I see it well on bodies like M1 / OM1, on smaller machines it could be unbalanced. The 12-100 coupled with the 17/25 1.2 pro to taste, I think it is a travel kit of amazing quality.

olympus_omd_em1_iiiOlympus OM-D E-M1 III

Pros: computational functions, compact and versatile, magnesium alloy and declared interperie strength, the last true Olympus

Cons: Low resolution viewfinder, 4K video only 30fps, uncertainty about the future of the system

Opinion: After 5 years of fuji x-t2 I moved to Olympus and I think I have found my way. Excellent overall quality and with the optical park zuiko pro is like eating bread and mermalade; I almost always use it in the mountains and even under gusts of wind mixed ice never a problem. On the eternal comparisons between fans of the m43 and ff I do not try because I have never cared anything, but I think it is clear that those who point to these machines have well understood the differences of the sensors and know what they want. For me it is a great system suitable for the vast majority of amateurs and should be taken more into consideration given the super quality. No problem even for medium-sized prints. The only uncertainty is the future of the system that seemed a bit 'trudging but then with the OM1 and all the various rebranding seems to have recovered well.

fujifilm_xf50_f2wrFujifilm XF 50mm f/2 R WR

Pros: Iconic Design reminiscent of the past, quality files, all metal, AF convinces, made in Japan

Cons: Not found

Opinion: I state that I do not consider it so much a portrait lens, for that there is the 56mm which is definitely more specific. In my opinion is a lens designed for reportage, travel or street, a bit like the whole series F2. Amazing quality as traditionally make it perfect for those who like to be light; It really weighs nothing, you take it anywhere and the plus of the tropicalized it makes it tempting. Construction and retail care that those who use the Fuji system know well. If purchased with awareness is a definite lens, if you are portrait purists and look for the best bokeh aiming at other (56 or 90).

samyang_rokinon_21_f1-4Samyang 21mm f/1.4

Pros: Sharpness, versatile focal length, F 1.4, lightweight and compact, smooth and precise ring nuts, good quality plastics...

Cons: ... but the touch is a bit ' cheap ' despite the use of metal parts, Tropicalization remains a dream

Opinion: I have never appreciated this brand but I must admit that this line of models dedicated to the mirrorless world has an exaggerated quality. Tried almost to play by a friend, I did not gave him a penny; Needless to say the next day I ordered it for me and probably also buy the 50mm f 1.2 always the same line dedicated to mirrorless. Sharpness at the top even at f 1.4, saturated colors, finally precise and fluid ring nuts (nothing to do with the Samyang for SLRs that I always hated for the badly calibrated nuts), great for those traveling seen the size and weight. At the performance level I have not found any particular flaws even with regard to the purple fringing really contained in this model, strange thing since it has always been an iconic defect of this brand. Still remains a niche lens being completely manual, fascinating but at the same time cumbersome compared to the automatic fire more and more happy to be switched to mirrorless, for 300-350 euros you bring home a jewel

samyang_85Samyang 85mm f/1.4 Aspherical IF

Pros: Blurred, price

Cons: Construction, at f 1.4 is not clear, purple fringing at full throttle, the distance data on the focus ring wrong, sharpness at infinity ridiculous, slight play when attached to the machine (Fujifilm version)

Opinion: I wanted to trust those who said that even at f 1.4 was sharp: I hurt, because it is not. At full aperture is quite soft and has a lot of chromatic aberrations intrusive and annoying. The building I found satisfactory, from the feeling of Hazel, then forget it. Data on the focus ring is incorrect despite having the latest version of this lens (the one with the red line); the focus to infinity is completely wrong (possibly a manufacturing defect of my copy?). The sharpness becomes good only at f 2.8 onwards, very good instead the focus (which together with the price is the only redeeming factor as far as I'm concerned). Nice lens for amateur use, I did not like at all, prompted the return after 3 days.

fujifilm_18-55oisFujifilm XF 18-55 f/2.8-4R LM OIS

Pros: remarkable performance at all openings, robust and completely metal, bright enough, nothing to do with the plasticoni kit of the other brands

Cons: no tropicalization, there is a slight vignetting and distortion at 18mm, aperture ring a bit 'too sensitive for my taste

Opinion: There is little to say, simply the best all-rounder kit on the market, really good price / performance ratio. Certainly does not reach the three-dimensionality of the fixed, but behaves very well at all focal lengths, the yield at the center of the file is excellent, while the top at the edges is reached from f4 to f9. However, it maintains a high sharpness standard throughout the image, also promoted autofocus and stabilization, less the aperture ring that I found too sensitive for my taste (I would have preferred it harder as on the new fixed f2) .rnReport a little 'distortion and vignetting to 18mm especially at TA, for this advice to close the diaphragm to this focal (defects still resolvable in post production for the most demanding) .rnA great travel companion that certainly there disappoint, best lens kit I've ever tried, in fact for the moment I decided to keep it and not sell it
