The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Fujifilm X-T100 Pros: Great sensor, nice display, AF ok Cons: A bit slow in general, not compatible with third-party lenses (or rather lenses are not) Opinion: Great machine for beginners, good automatic and good lens kit. Excellent sensor, good recovery of shadows and lights, good resistance to high ISO even if they feel over 1600. Beautiful to look at and use, even if it does not have all the classic Fuji rings, but still many buttons are customizable and you can make it more ergonomic. A bit slow in changing the various functions and above all to empty the buffer, unusable for sports or naturalistic photos both for the AF not performing enough and precisely for the slowness to operate. As for autofocus, it does its job in AF-S, where it also has the eye af option but it works 75% of the time, depending on the size of the subject in the frame. In AF-C it only has face recognition, good anyway but nothing exceptional, perhaps a bit lacking compared to SLRs in this same price range. Great for using vintage lenses with focus peaking, very precise! Great for beginners, landscaping and travel photography, the battery has a good life. For videos right ok: little customizable, 4K non-existent, af quite reliable. Don't buy it for videos! I recommend it for beginners, for those who shoot already better aim for a used XT-20. sent on January 02, 2023 |
 | Canon EF 17-40mm f/4.0 L USM Pros: One of the best lenses for landscaping Cons: Not suitable for high-resolution sensors Opinion: Excellent lens for landscaping and architecture. It is a dated lens, but on the used it is stable at about € 400 and for this price there is nothing comparable for Full Frame. Sharp at f / 8, beautiful sunstar, holds the flare excellently, very light, good focal range, little distortion easily accommodated in post, works well with filters. I use it on 6D mark II and on my sensor I do not find it lacking, certainly at f / 4 the edges are not great, but at f / 8 it is excellent from the center to the edges. Yes, the new ones are certainly much sharper, but they weigh and cost more, so evaluate yourself. The only real flaw is the chromatic aberration that can become annoying in scenes with great excursion from shadows to lights, but only sometimes it was difficult for me to fix it in post, 90% just apply the profile on Lightroom and it's done. In my opinion it is not suitable for sensors from 30MP upwards, but for the 24MP in my opinion it is still excellent. sent on January 02, 2023 |
 | Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 Pros: It's almost perfect Cons: 24mm barrel distortion a bit annoying for videos Opinion: I bought this lens as a "jack of all trades" since for landscapes I have a dedicated wide angle and I have a canvas for naturalistics. I needed to cover this focal length for both photos and videos and this lens turned out to be a masterpiece. Very good stabilization for videos and photos (I changed the settings with the Tamron tap-in console and I set the stabilization in video mode), clear lens already from 2.8 and practically perfect from f / 4 at all focal lengths. Very nice blurred, even with complicated backgrounds, very reliable and precise focus, it needed to be micro adjusted just a minimum but it was already almost perfect as an exit from the box. It has beautiful colors, for me that I do not have time to do color grading in post for videos pulls me out excellent colors both on complexions and landscapes, holds up well the backlight and has a beautiful sunstar. Defects? The distortion at 24mm is a bit annoying, in the photos it is easily corrected but in the videos it is annoying especially if there are horizontal lines that make it evident, even if it disappears already from 28/30mm. I have not tried the Canon, I know that as sharpness should be superior, but this lens, for what it costs, with excellent stabilization, excellent construction, very fast and silent AF even for videos is practically a must, it gave me great satisfaction both in videos and night photos, in landscape, in short, I would buy it again. Highly recommended! sent on January 02, 2023 |
 | Samyang AF 12mm f/2 Pros: Sharpness, aperture, price Cons: AF not compatible with entry level Fuji Opinion: it is also specified on the site, this lens works with the fuji x trans sensor, so for example on the XT-100 the autofocus does not work most of the time in AF-s , in AF-c and in video it is completely useless (it starts to pulse back and forth). Also using manual fire the indication of firing distance is completely wrong, so you can not rely on it. So avoid on Fuji with Sony sensors sent on December 27, 2022 |
 | Canon 6D Mark II Pros: Usability, sensor, touch screen, GPS Cons: Focus points centered, shadow recovery Opinion: I have this machine for 5 months now, after having squeezed it in landscaping and naturalistic I'm ready to give you my opinion. Sensor: It is not the best sensor for recovering shadows pushed, since it introduces much noise, the light recovery is good but there are definitely more performaning sensors in the market. If you expose well, however, gives a really high image quality, full of detail and with little noise up to ISO 3200, with 6400 to 8000 for me quietly usable but with a work of post major. AF: Focusing system is definitely improved compared to the 6D and especially compared to the 50D from which I came, much more versatile, fast and reliable. For bird tracking If the quarry is coupled with a fast lens, I have not changed the settings because it seemed to only worsen the performance by intervening on the various parameters, and coupled with the Tamron 100-400 works really well. Too bad for the concentration of points in the center of the sensor, really annoying for portraits and compositions even in the rule of thirds. You save with the shot in Live View, where the DPAF is fast and accurate (not for fast subjects) enough to draw a baby on the swing (tested mainly in continuous AF with Back button focus). It also works well in low light conditions, and I mainly shoot with recent Tamron lenses, but I noticed that with Canon lenses it is more reliable in low light situations (tested with 85 1.8 and 17-40L). Usability: It's really a pleasure to use in the field. In Landscaping the swivel screen is convenient for when you have it on a tripod and not at man's height, so that you do not have to lean, as well as useful for free hand shots up and down) and the GPS helps to keep track of the shots on the map of Lightroom. The keys are all in their place and I have obviated the annoying lack of a joystick dedicated to selecting the AF points by assigning the directional pad for this purpose. In personalization you can change the functions of many keys for good customization, nothing to do with Fuji and Sony on this aspect though. The 6D Mark II was the most discussed and well-treated reflex of the 2017, but despite its flaws (sensor and AF points, as well as the lack of 4K) remains a solid choice for amateurs who want to move to FF or as a second body to be accompanied by a more professional body. It remains in my opinion a better choice than the EOS RP regarding "fast" photography where they serve fps and a solid AF, otherwise for portraits and street I would recommend the RP for the fact that the AF points cover most of the framing giving More flexibility in composition. To prefer to a 5D4? Only for the weight, the GPS and the adjustable screen; On all other aspects the 5D4 is considerably higher, as expected from the price difference. To prefer compared to an EOS R? Same as above, with more to consider that the 6D2 has 6.5 fps against the actual 5 fps of the R, but the R has the best sensor, so I would say it could be considered a draw. In This case maybe I would go on the R for more advanced technology, but there are still more than €500 difference to consider between the two. Basically: the 6D Mark II gives off wonderful shots if you know how to master it and if you're ready to compromise with the well known and cited flaws. If not, I recommend you to focus on the mirrorless Canon or 5D Mark IV. sent on May 06, 2019 |
 | Tamron 100-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di VC USD Pros: Price, construction, AF, sharpness Cons: Can suffer from flare with backlit subjects (but only with direct light in the lens), slight tendency of colors to purple/magenta (not always a flaw) Opinion: I took this lens predominantly for naturalistic after reading several reviews (on Juza still there were few, it was just out) and saw several video reviews (Dustin Abbott, Christopher Frost) and I decided. I have been using it for a year and I am very satisfied with the purchase: The lens focuses quickly, is not hesitant in trying to trace the subject (Tested on 50d and 6d Mark II), does not seem to suffer from F/B focus and is already available a firmware update that improves additional Performance. The stabilization is effective, but especially the lens is sharp, almost as much as the Canon 100-400l Mark II, of course the latter still remains the reference lens, but the Tamron is what you approach most. The advice for nature photography, apparently works well with multipliers and so far has never missed a shot. I also used it for landscapes and did its job. Defects? The direction of zoom and focus like that of Nikon, but you get used to it right away. It may suffer from flare if you shoot with the sun in the frame, but it is a common problem even at the best Tele Zoom lenses at human prices. Sometimes it can slightly stretch the colors towards magenta, defect that you can safely fix in post and sometimes I have not corrected (gives the lens a little ' personality). sent on January 18, 2019 |
 | Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM Pros: Price, general optical quality, lightness Cons: The lack of stabilizer, vignetting, construction Opinion: For the price is a good telephoto lens, well defined on APS-C, with decent colors but not exceptional, I took several interesting pictures, bringing me closer to the subject (mostly animals). The lack of a stabilizer and the fact that it is not very bright does not help with longer focuses, making it usable only in very bright environments and often with high ISO values, while compromising the quality of the photo. However, I have also taken part in concerts with little light and if you have a firm hand you can shoot pretty well. Maybe for the price, if you do not need 300mm, it's better to be on the 55-250 STM anyway, which I now own and I have to say it's all another goal! sent on July 15, 2017 |
