The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Nikon Z 20mm f/1.8 S Pros: Sharp in the center, aperture at 1.8 despite the 20mm, few chromatic aberrations, average distortion, tropicalized Cons: Fairly blurry non-center area, lots of vignetting, price Opinion: At 1.8 the lens is sharp in the center but quite blurred in everything else, which is solved quite by closing it to f4. It suffers a lot from vignetting and has a bit of focus breathing, also the coma is not very noticeable even at 1.8 so great for photographing the stars or cities with a lot of lights at night. It can focus very close and despite being a wide-angle the bokeh is pleasant. Having said that, however, I don't think it's worth the € 1300 list, € 800 would be a more appropriate price for what it offers, also because it is a niche lens and not very versatile, a more sensible purchase would be the 14-30 f4, which for better or worse being wide-angle you can use longer shutter speeds to overcome the narrower aperture. sent on December 13, 2025 |
 | Nikon Z 50mm f/1.8 S Pros: Sharp even at 1.8, tropicalized, fast autofocus, minimal chromatic aberrations, little distortion Cons: None, except for a slight vignetting at 1.8 Opinion: Excellent lens, especially at the current price of 500€ it is given away. Honestly I have nothing more to add, I think it is the best quality / price lens for Z bayonet, it performs so well that I find the purchase of the 50 1.2 useless if not for those who have almost always shot with low light and really need an extra stop of light. The only thing that makes me swear is that my model arrived a month ago with a probable mis-alignment in the left edge, which causes the focus point to be positioned more forward than the rest of the frame, in fact when I focus towards infinity, the left edge appears blurred. After the holidays I will send it to the nital warranty to have it fixed, since this defect ruins landscape photos sent on December 13, 2025 |
 | Nikon Z8 Pros: Very versatile, frequent firmware updates with new features, 20fps in lossless raw, stacked sensor (3.7ms) with practically invisible rolling shutter, 8.3k 60fps video in raw or 4.1k 120fps, ergonomics, turns on instantly, very customizable menu and keys, sensor shield, illuminated keys, two usb-c ports Cons: The eye autofocus sometimes gets wrong and the 3d tracking on distant cars coming towards the camera often fails by focusing and keeping the background in focus, n-raw or prores raw videos in 4.1k at 50fps or more are pixelated (probable line skipping), the autofocus in the videos is quite shit and is slow in following the subject (even setting the speed high), The dynamic range is not the best, pre-capture only in JPEG, black HDMI output when switching to video mode with a 1080p monitor connected, screen not very articulable Opinion: Honestly I don't have much to add, except for the problem of pixelated videos when recording in nraw (which doesn't happen in normal prores or beggarly hevc), I can say that I'm satisfied with the camera body, the dynamic range and noise at high iso could be better but I think these are problems that go unnoticed if we consider the photo/video versatility offered. The pre-capture only in jpeg is a big bullshit and makes the function useless, luckily the cfexpress b are fast enough to allow me to shoot for a long time at 5fps in raw and then delete the advanced photos. Maybe it's because I'm coming from d3300 but the battery life didn't seem bad to me, it lasts those 3-4 hours of mixed burst photography and video at a rally event, and having a USB-C port for charging I can always bring a powerbank to extend the battery or recharge it during downtime, also I would like to go against the trend and admit that I was fine with the evf (which I recommend keeping at fixed brightness instead of auto, to prevent it from changing brightness constantly that make it difficult to evaluate the exposure), I had tried even if briefly that of an a7r5 and it seemed to be grainier despite the higher resolution, maybe it depends on how the pixels are arranged, boh. sent on December 13, 2025 |
 | Sigma 105mm f/2.8 Macro DG OS HSM Pros: Also sharp on aps-c (especially f/8 to f/11). Very good quality stabilizer (on aps-c with a little luck you can reach sharp photos up to 1s of exposure). Soft focus ring. Made of plastic but very robust Cons: Sometimes it does not find fire if the subject is close but more distant than 0.42m. Noisy stabilizer. On nikon you get f/2.8 only by focusing towards infinity, the closer the fire is, the closer the diaphragm closes until you get to f/5.6. Soft at f2.8 (already at f4 you can see an excellent sharpness). The buttons are a bit hard. Focus breathing can make composition difficult. The focus ring is inverted compared to nikon obbietives, you have to make us the abiudine. Not tropicalized Opinion: Well what to say, I think for 400 euros it's a good purchase, although the diaphragm that closes with focus can be occasionally frustrating sent on February 20, 2021 |
 | Pentax SMC Super Takumar 135mm f/2.5 Pros: Blurred, soft, solid and well constructed, little vignetting and distortion. Diaphragm ring on the lens Cons: Light chromatic aberration on the focus focus (red) and back focus (green) autofocus Opinion: I would like to point out before starting, that because of lack of adapter I used this lens by holding it by hand. The 135mm is a solid, well-built lens, the focus ring is precise and soft. Despite having tried it by hand on my nikon d3300, I was amazed. Excellent optical construction that leaves no room for vignetting (even to ta) and distortion. The bokeh is great, very soft and pleasant to see. The only defects I have found are the chromatic aberration on the front focus and the back focus, but nothing so serious, considering it's a 1970's optics. If we just want to do the pins, I find the least focusing distance (1 , 5 meters), but nothing that can not be remedied with a couple of extension tubes and no autofocus. But trust yourself, when you start using this great look, you will not feel the lack of autofocus. Finally, (I do not know if it's a problem) I find it is not very clear, but considering it used my grandfather (many years ago) on herPentax film, I do not complain.

 | Nikon D3300 Pros: Low price, intuitive, durable, lightweight battery Cons: Few focus points, raw compressed, multiplier compatibility and extension tubes, does not have an internal AF engine, does not support macro calibration of targets AF Opinion: Surely it's a great car to get started, with its 24MP (6000x4000) sensor capable of taking images up to 3200 iso, instead of "clean" images you can have up to 800 iso. Not having the anti-aliasing filter the images are sharp and contrasting. Unfortunately, after 1 year of use, the shutter button sometimes does not work and if you want to add old multipliers or extension tubes without pin, you will find yourself in a manual without an exposure meter. At shutter speeds it is good to be a reflex entry level, although the 11 focus points are few and in poor lighting conditions make it difficult. Ergonomics are more than good, even for those with big hands, will always ensure good grip. Battery lasts about half day and little more than continuous use sent on July 19, 2017 |
