nikon_z6iiNikon Z6 II

Pros: Largely fixed series 1 issues

Cons: No one at the moment.

Opinion: Premetto I am not a professional photographer but a photoadamator. I don't make videos, I don't think I've ever activated the video selector. Therefore I evaluate the machine for what are my photographic needs that are reportage, landscape and portrait in the studio and set. at the time of its release, I sold the two D850 and D500 SLRs with related optics and switched to the Z6 and Z7 with the following optics.z14-40, Z 24-200, z24-70 f4, z 50 f1.8 and z20,f1,8. I was perfectly comfortable with these two mirrorless and I absolutely did not regret the SLRs indeed must say that the results were more than satisfactory, if not better. Of course I recognize some limitations present on the first night and therefore I decided to replace the z6 with the Z6ii and keep the Z7. I am flatly satisfied with the choice, I leave out a whole series of considerations expressed, but what struck me most, is speed, autofocus, shooting in low light conditions, ISO seal and versatility. Given the results, I recommend the purchase and possible upgrade.

nikon_z14-30_f4sNikon Z 14-30mm f/4 S

Pros: It is crisp, compact, light and 100mm slab filters.

Cons: No one at the moment.

Opinion: I use this lens only for landscape photos on the Nikon Z7, with excellent results that I never thought I would achieve with an F/4 goal. It turned out to be a great companion of outings at sunrise and sunset and never disappointed me. I used a D850 with a Tamron 15-30 f 2.8, amazing machine, excellent target, which with the holder and the 150 mm plates exceeded abundantly 2 kg. I switched to Nikon's mirrorless Z system and the Z7 I matched this 14-30 that with the holder V6 of Nisi 100 mm exceeds the weight of 1 kg and I get landscape photos on par if not higher than the reflex. Very satisfied, I recommend it without a doubt to lovers of landscape photo, rating 10.

nikon_z20_f1-8sNikon Z 20mm f/1.8 S

Pros: Maybe the size and weight

Cons: Nothing.

Opinion: I like to take pictures of landscape, night and milky way. For the landscape I use on the Z 7 and Z6 the 14-30 with great satisfaction and results, I was therefore looking for a better lens for the night and after reading the various reviews I decided to buy the 20 mm 1.8 and I have to say that the choice was great. In terms of sharpness, and image quality I say that it is one of the best, if not the best 20 mm in circulation, try to believe, I think I have nothing else to add, I took pictures at night in Rome, and the Milky Way at Elba and in Val D'Orcia that are amazing, so ladies and gentlemen and buy it, you will not regret it.

nikon_z24-200vrNikon Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR

Pros: Lightness, practicality, sharpness, handyman.

Cons: It's not a 2.8.

Opinion: The purchase of this lens was born from the fact that I have problems with my hands so I have difficulty keeping heavy goals for even short periods. I had booked the z 70-200 2.8 which is not yet on the market, the price of which you all know, but also its weight, we are at about 1 kilo and 440 grams that with the Z7 you exceed 2 kg. I saw the photos posted by Panizza made with the 24 200 both on this site and on social media, and I was impressed by its sharpness, dynamic range and resolution. I also delved into the videos on the net and the very positive reviews. I made an assessment on what were my needs and needs and the choice prevailed when buying this lens at the price of 960 euros. I am satisfied and aware, and I do not intend to make inappropriate comparisons, we understand each other. But from the first shots I made I was very impressed and satisfied with the results confirming the judgments that I had read and viewed with a further data that having a weight of 550 grams in the hand you do not feel. I know very well that it is a 4-6.3, but I assure you that it makes its beautiful figure in terms of results and I recommend it not only as a handyman.

nikon_z50_f1-8sNikon Z 50mm f/1.8 S

Pros: Sharpness

Cons: Nothing at the moment.

Opinion: The best 50 cm for mirrorless at the moment. Higher than the Nikon F and sigma 50mm 1.4 art, which I used on the D850. I can say, made comparisons au Z6 and Z7 that at the moment is superior to Sigma and many others. Try to believe a 50mm that you would never take off from the camera. Good Nikon you've taken the right direction. At the exit of the Z system many fan-boys of other houses have mocked these cameras and targets, but over time they are relieving polluted we are faced with a system that is giving excellent results.

nikon_z7Nikon Z7

Pros: Significant difference from the Tamron 2.8 optics That I used on the D850 before

Cons: You have to get used to it, it looks like a toy in your hand.

Opinion: I have heard and read discordant opinions and no on this camera. It should be tested, tested and then evaluated. I can say even if I've been sniffing it for a few days, which is a really nice mirrorless and I think for the kind of photos I take, that is landscape and portraitist is one of the best. I started with the classic 24-70 f4 and the 14-50 f4. The yield is in terms of sharpness, resolution and dynamic range, superior to the great to the 2.8 tamron optics that I used on the D850 that I keep holding on to hold on to. Of course the Z 2.8 optics are definitely superior, but here on the downside, the costs are really prohibitive, this in my opinion is the biggest criticism I would like to make. For the rest I am more than satisfied.10 days ago in Iceland I carried a backpack with 15 kg between lenses and cameras here, with the Z7 system this will not happen anymore, and for a 70-year-old is not cheap, as is not little the filters to slab 10 cm instead of 15 , and the results that from what I'm checking will live up to this small big camera, the purchase of which I highly recommend.

samyang_premium14_f2-4Samyang Premium 14mm f/2.4

Pros: Really sharpness on par with more emlasic and expensive goals

Cons: At the moment nothing, except that the infinity like many of this lens is not at the end of the race, but a hair before.

Opinion: I bought this lens to use it on the Nikon D850, mainly to use it I hope, next January in Iceland for the Northern Lights. This does not detract from the fact that I will use it when necessary on other occasions, using filters, so I also purchased the holder Nisi for 150x150 plates. These days I have thoroughly tested it and was surprised by the sharpness and resolution, superior to the tamron 15-30 that I use as usual. What surprised me was that by making a 100% crop on which I made another 100% crop, the image remained a disarming sharpness, really a very good lens to have. Of course it can't be used like any wide angle, but its 14mm aperture and 2.4mm brightness make it one of the best around in its range and I recommend it, you won't regret it.

nikon_d500Nikon D500

Pros: Fast machine, with an autofocus that in my opinion borders on perfection.

Cons: held at high ISOs above 6400

Opinion: I have to be honest, I wanted to replace the D750, as it was devaluing in anticipation of exit new model and I wanted a worthy replacement to match the D850. At first I was hesitant and undecided, seeing some mixed reviews, but I cut off the bull's head and bought it. In addition to the landscape and study photos for which I use the D850, I often do services for roller skating sports and I have to say that this D500 is really a portport. The first test shots I made them at a water polo competition with a Tamron 100-400 and I was really impressed, the burst shot is tremendous, the autofocus nails the action and all the photos are not excluded. It won't have the dynamic range and resolution of the 850, but gentlemen if you need a fast camera, with an autofocus that doesn't miss one, for quick photos, sports, birdlife and more, you will also landscape and ceremonies, it will love at first sight. I exaggerate, no, this is the best reflex dslr aspc camera ever.

tamron_100-400vc_usdTamron 100-400mm f/4.5-6.3 Di VC USD

Pros: Construction, AF, sharpness, weight and price.

Cons: At the moment no one

Opinion: Purchased these days, on an online site, at the price I would say great of 500 euros. I've been trying it out for two days with a Nikon D850 in both FX and DX and I have to say that from the first shots, I was surprised by the sharpness it makes to all the focal points. As for the focus, same speech, hooks the subject and holds it smoothly. It will be the camera, it will be that I guessed "the good one" but I'm really satisfied with the purchase, we must also add the lightness that is no small thing, especially having to photograph for a whole day skating competitions and not secondary the price which is really good. I compared it with the sigma 150-600, regardless of price, and weight, the yield is on the same levels, so I can confirm with knowledge of the cause, which in my opinion is a very good lens in its category, and I recommend without hesitation the purchase. About the lack of the collar for tripods that in the original costs about 140 euros, on Amazon I found one of competition at the price of 39 euros then, solved the problem

nikon_d850Nikon D850

Pros: Too long the list.

Cons: I don't see it at the moment, except maybe the weight, but not that much.

Opinion: I come from a D750, excellent machine, still after several years from its exit, and expectations with the transition to 850 were many, and at the time, were all respected. I think it is the best DSLR in the trade and the camera body, where the Nikon has really invested and brought relevant news. The white balance really amazed me, as well as the definition, the details, the sharpness. In The shooting phase, you can see the difference with the 750, but we have to consider when it is gone and despite everything continues very well to do its job, so that I will keep it as a second body. Of course you need optics minimum 2.8 and stabilized otherwise are pains and the blur remains lurking, but at the time I had no problems of any kind, and the autofocus is really exceptional. The things to say would still be many, but those who preceded me was better than me, what I mean is that this machine must be tried and used, only then you will appreciate the ability and goodness. I do a duty update, I used the machine in the studio with model, using fixed targets such as the 50mm sigma 1.4 art. and the Tamron 24-70 2.8 and the results, are from "licking their ears", photos, taken in raw, I would say that they only need a minimum of post, incredible, for the rest, sharpness, dynamic range, white balance and autofocus impeccable, the top really, This confirms what was previously stated.

tamron_15-30vcTamron 15-30mm f/2.8 VC USD

Pros: Excellent goal, for the surrender it offers, for its sharpness and resolve.

Cons: It does not go unnoticed, for the mole and the weight.

Opinion: I've been using it for about 1 year on a Nikon D750 and it's giving me great satisfaction. For the landscape and the night photos is a Mr Objective as the most noble. In landscape photos I use it with holder and filters ND and GND Haida Nano Pro with excellent results. Recently it came out in new G2, but I think that with this VC there are no major differences in the yield, so I recommend this specimen, both for the price both new and in the market and will give you certainly results of which you will be proud:

sigma_50_f1-4artSigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art

Pros: Sharpness at the highest levels.

Cons: Weight, slow autofocus in low light situation, and micro-blur problems at full aperture.

Opinion: Purchased about two months ago from a user here on Juza. I work on a Nikon D750 and I have to acknowledge that with this "fifty" Sigma has been overcome. It is still a lens that has some criticalities. The weight is not a little, but the glass weighs, autofocus that has difficulties. In my case fortunately I did not need micro-oregulations, but in many cases has made a damn and not a little. But we have to recognize that the shot with this lens, has a fabulous sharpness and just as regular and creamy bokeh. In the night shows then you exceed and with the other fifty also Nikon there is really no race. In Summary, satisfied with the purchase and I highly recommend it.

nikon_d750Nikon D750

Pros: have been in possession of the machine for about 2 years, bought on an online site, the serial was not among those subject to recall, to date no problem.

Cons: Some uncomfortable keys in particular that for the management of the ISO.

Opinion: I came from a D7100 and then on the plan of management, no problem and difficulty. The machine is light and is held comfortably in hand, in some respects it seems an ml, and in fact some ml as weight and size are not very dissimilar. Autofocus at the height of the situation, surely you can do better but for my needs of amateur photographers is more than satisfactory. It requires as all the FF light optics, and in fact I have all lenses Tamron 15-30 24-70 70-200 2.8 and stabilized and the Sigma 50 art 1.4 that didn't give me any problems of front and back focus. The most important aspect of this D750 is the high ISO seal, and the recoveri that can be done from low exposures, is UMA machine that always allows you to bring great shots at home. At the moment I would not change it with other machines, except that the D850, but we are on another planet. Considering the past problems that sometimes as in the comment below you can determine, but this applies to all machines and brands, I highly recommend it and I would buy it back without the slightest doubt.
