The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Sony A7 Pros: Compactness, FF, general RAW and JPEG rendering, revives vintage optics. Cons: Ergonomics, autofocus, energy-intensive. Opinion: We are talking about a car from 10 years ago. Today it shows all the limits compared to the most recent ML but at the time it changed the world of photography by integrating technologies that other houses had no interest in using, preferring to live on income with Reflex technology. That said, the camera has few flaws for me, mainly the autofocus always slow and that goes into crisis as soon as the light is not optimal and ergonomics really sometimes intolerable even for those who, like me, do not have big hands. The various keys are small and crowded, ridiculous the shutter button put vertically and that the first times you use it you have to grope if you have the eye in the viewfinder. The energy consumption is very high but it is solved with some spare batteries and trust that having only two is risky. The battery grip if on the one hand helps on the other drastically worsens ergonomics even if used for its main purpose, that of vertical shots and also makes it lose the characteristic of lightness and reduced size. For the use I make of it, mainly portrait, it is still excellent and does not make me regret the heavy Canon 6D with its excellent L optics. If I recommend it? It is found in the used really little and if you happen to have the good opportunity yes, but it must really be a very occasion. Otherwise an A7II with its improved autofocus is certainly the best choice if you do not want to face the expense for one of the various A7III. sent on June 28, 2023 |
 | Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN C Pros: Construction, AF, little AC, flare resistance. Cons: It is only at its best between F4 and F8. Opinion: Optics with an excellent price/quality ratio. A 24mm FF equivalent of solid construction, with very little chromatic aberration and very good autofocus even on the Sony A6000 which does not excel in AF. Top construction and materials. Definitely heavier than many other optics but there is a lot of glass. The performance at TA is only acceptable but for the price it costs you can not ask for results from the first of the class. It quickly recovers quality already at F2 but only closing at F4 it becomes very good and at F5.6/8 excellent. I tried starry effects at F11/16 (F16/24 FF equivalent) obtaining them discreet and with very minimal flare but with decidedly unsatisfactory general yield. Overall a lens that I promote with an 8 mainly for the cost and for the excellent yield to the intermediate diaphragms. Sigma does great things but this lens is not comparable to other wides of greater cost, sent on December 06, 2022 |
 | 7artisans 55mm f/1.4 Pros: Price-for-money ratio, assembly, materials, brightness, vintage aesthetic. Cons: Low flare resistance with framed lights, vignette at maximum openings. Opinion: An optics that at a ridiculous price offers so much quality but that requires a certain attention in use. Manual MAF is not a big problem with modern ML assistance systems although at TA you have to take into account a certain percentage of light out of focus, percentage that in my case has quickly dropped to physiological values as I became familiar with optics. Excellent blur, among the best thanks to the high number of diaphragm blades. Central sharpness good in portraiture also at TA and that improves decidedly closing even by just two stops even if of course it never reaches the resolutions of emblazoned optics and cost at least five times more. The lens at its best at short and medium distances, I would not use it for panoramas even if the infinity focus is precise. The experience is great for me, it requires thinking, composing, calmly sealing all things that could bother lovers of the fast shot. Its high brightness gives you opportunities to shoot with low light without having to raise the ISO sensitivity. Ultimately an optics that in my opinion is a must have for old-fashioned portraiture, the one that I love the most and lacks the exasperated search for detail. Unimpeachable mechanical quality but the diaphragms diaphragms requires attention. For less than 120 euros new this lens deserves and teaches a lot even if a classic 50ino AF remains a must in the kit. sent on July 21, 2020 |
 | 7artisans 7.5mm f/2.8 Fisheye Pros: Cost, construction, overall make acceptable, covers the entire APS-C frame, vintage appearance and invoice. Cons: Free diaphragms, no correction profiles in PP SW, soft ta Opinion: Economic objective that honestly does its job. I have it for about a week but I used it intensively in various contexts to test it and possibly return it but I have to say that I am very very satisfied. Its best operating range is between 5.6/8/11. A more open diaphragms is soft, especially at the edges, although usable. At the diaphragm almost completely closed at 22 difraction manifests itself. The chromatic aberration as well as the flare, which I feared very much, actually I find both very contained. Mechanically it is unexceptionable but the diaphragms' diaphragms free requires attention and should be checked practically before each shot because it moves easily. The front lens is very protruding and the small fixed lampshade does little to protect it but this is inevitable. The front cap is well-crafted, must be put on the pressure on the lampshade and seems to hold well even if it is not mechanically blocked. Ultimately a very recommended optics that allows with a really minimal expense (just over 100 euros import) to have fun without giving up too much quality. I use it on the Sony A6000 and even if you have virtually everything in focus I always prefer to seal with the help of the camera's focus assist. Beware that in many post-production software the lens correction profile is not available and you are obliged to do the corrections by hand or using a profile of some other fisheye. EDIT of April 9, 2020. I confirm all the positives. In the period between the first review and the beginning of the virus quarantine I used the lens intensely and in various light conditions. The only flaw if the sun is framed is the flare that sometimes does not disturb and sometimes disturbs a lot. But I repeat... only with the sun framed. The judgment remains excellent. I can't wait for the virus quarantine to finish to continue using it! sent on February 17, 2020 |
 | Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Pros: Compactness, lightness, stabilization, overall performance Cons: electro-optimizeed zoom Opinion: Optical kit that does not make you cry out to the miracle but allows you to have excellent results closing by 1 stop. Absurd price if purchased alone but in kit it is absolutely worth it. I don't like electro-implemented zooms because they're not very responsive and they consume battery unnecessarily, but this is done so... take or leave. Ultimately, a view that if you have it is better than not having it. sent on September 07, 2019 |
 | Sony E 50mm f/1.8 OSS Pros: Ideal focal point for portrait, stabilization, colors, brightness, lightness Cons: A little too soft, MAF (on A6000) not always precise, manual MAF dial too demanypicata Opinion: Taken to complete the triad of fixed in addition to the 12mm Samyang F2 and the 32mm F1.8 Zeiss Touit to cover the american portrait and piano focal. I must say that I chose it as an alternative to the Sony/Zeiss 55mm F1.8 (which I tried thoroughly) for stabilization (absent on the sensor of the A6000) and a little regretted. It is, however, an optic that I judge from acceptable to good, with excellent color yield but that never reaches levels of sharpness. I get much better results by cropping the shots made with the 32mm Zeiss. The automatic MAF surprised me in the negative because often, even in ideal light conditions, it is not very precise. Manually sewing is inconvenient due to excessive demolition of the dial. This 50mm I recommend if you do not intend to spend much, knowing however that around there is much better at human prices anyway. Personally I did not make it but I plan to replace it in a few months. UPDATE: I found that using it in AFC the MAF always becomes perfect. I could not imagine such a difference in behavior between AFS and AFC sincerely. I do not know if it depends on the lens or its combination with the A6000, but at least now I can count on a precise and reasonably fast automatic sealing as with the Zeiss 32mm and, in its time, with the Zeiss 55mm. I change my judgment from "acceptable to good" to "good to great". sent on August 28, 2019 |
 | Sony E 55-210mm f/4.5-6.3 OSS Pros: Focus, stabilization, weight, assembly Cons: Indecent optical yield (see review update) Opinion: I was very disappointed by this goal, soft, too soft a bit to all the focal points but especially to those canvases. Yield is only acceptable by closing the diaphragm a lot around F11. Too bad because the OSS stabilization works perfectly and the focal excursion would make him the ideal companion of the 16-50 kit lens that is not even a blade but is still able to give many satisfactions. Taken, tried for three days and returned. To those who say that you have to be satisfied given the price I report that a little all the houses have similar zoom list in cheap version and that cost much less than this... but they're fine, you see Canon's STM and Olympus's non-PRO optics (of which I liked and very much the 40-150) just to not name. UPDATE: My judgment of the surrender I have called indecent could be a consequence of the exclusive use of MAF in AFS. Apparently on the A6000 the MAF in AFC is much better performing, which I could check with other optics. So take my very negative opinion with the springs, unfortunately I made the lens and I can not, for now, do other tests. sent on July 28, 2019 |
 | Samyang 12mm f/2.0 NCS CS Pros: Brightness, construction, sharpness, lampshade Cons: Personally nothing relevant Opinion: Taken on Amazon used as new at a price of less than 190 euros is an optic softh of which I am extremely satisfied. Very usable at full opening becomes excellent closing by a couple of stops. The distortion is within the acceptable limits for the focal and if you hold the optics in bubble is still minimal. I am not a lover of hyperfocal use and find the assisted focus on my A6000 very valid. I use it mainly for historic streets and urban locations. I absolutely recommend it if you know and know how to manage the limits of use of wide-angle focal thrusts. ........... UPDATE as of January 31. After months of heavy use I can only confirm the very positive rating. The only problem encountered was the chromatic aberration in particular light situations such as foliage and branches tangled with the sky as a background to the maximum openings and difficult to correlate, at least with my software ON1 Photo Raw 2018. But by closing the diaphragm the problem is greatly reduced and, I repeat, it manifests itself only in very particular situations. Discreet resistance to flare. I'd buy it over a thousand times. sent on July 03, 2019 |
 | Zeiss Touit 32mm f/1.8 Pros: Sharp, light, bright Cons: Cost of the new, a little plastic. Opinion: Taken used here on Juza pretty much as new and at a decent price. It was immediately love even if I use it on an A6000 not stabilized that I use intensely and almost exclusively with fixed optics. The autofocus is accurate and fast enough for me, eye recognition works well in AFS. Less versatile than a zoom but with a focal length from classic "normal" that allows, with some limitation, to make beautiful portraits and even panoramas. Autofocus a bit noisy and that sometimes activates even at rest. Very usable at TA becomes more than a blade... a scalpel closing a couple of stops so much that sometimes for the portraits I intervene on the skin sweetening the imperfections of the same. Very elegant, but it is a subjective matter, and well assembled is however clearly plastic. Excellent manual MAF use for both the A600's focus assist and the smooth, smooth, updo- and on the right excursion. Very recommended. sent on June 22, 2019 |
 | Sony A6000 Pros: Compactness of the body, white balance, MAF, dynamic range, operating speed, tiltable display. Cons: Noise at medium/high ISO, few Sony lenses really good at human prices, not stabilized, JPEG native, display quality, battery life Opinion: I have it recently but I use it really intensely to replace, cause weight and clutter, the Canon kit I'm using I do not say much less but only when I know I need absolute of its optics L. This Sony is a very interesting camera with which if you mount quality optics The results are always very satisfactory. It is not stabilised on the sensor and unfortunately the Sony offer for stabilised quality optics is not very wide unless you are willing to spend really much. Its lens Kit 16-50mm is just decent but if you close the aperture it can give satisfactions and the focal range is enough for most situations. I personally use the machine with a Sammy 12mm F2 and a Zeiss Touit 32mm F 1.8 and I'm really satisfied so much that I think short of taking a good 50/55 mm as a tele medium. Excellent the MAF; In manual focus assistance is very good, in automatic it is fast and the recognition of the eye of the subject is perfect. Extraordinary the automatic balancing of white, practically never misses. I was amazed at the dynamic range, certainly higher than that of my Canon 6D. Defects? Those shown in the cons but nothing dramatic if you do not shoot at exaggerated ISO, the display is virtually unusable in full sunlight and batteries... Better to always have one, or as I do, two escorts. Considering that the moment I write you buy new on Italian sites very reliable to less than 380 Euro optics kit including the Straconsiglio, but I would recommend even if it cost, as I paid, a hundred euros more. Ideal to be joined to a FF kit, not necessarily Sony too. sent on June 09, 2019 |
 | 7artisans 12mm f/2.8 Pros: Price, construction, vintage Beauty but... Cons: Photographically almost everything Opinion: Very well-kept and elegant packaging that at the opening shows what mechanically seems to be a jewel. Nice, really nice to see. The right, unsnapped diaphragms, heavy the right, compact, all metal. If it was also usable to make beautiful photos would be perfect:-) Unfortunately my specimen was too little sharp at any aperture, or maybe it made it better to TA than closing the aperture until it is almost useless to F11/F16. I have specified "my specimen" because I see photos made by others with the same lens model and that are definitely beautiful, which makes me hope that there has been either a problem with my specimen or that quality controls (which affect much on the final cost) are Q Antisticking less approximative. Returned after three photographic sessions in which I managed to get no more than three or four decent shots on which they still had to intervene heavily in PP. Too bad because aesthetically it's really nice... But I took in his place a Sammy 12mm F2, also full manual, which is quite another thing. My advice? Buy it only if the seller assures you to accept the return without too much trouble. sent on June 01, 2019 |
 | Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Pros: Perfect focal length for portraits, good even to TA becomes excellent by closing slightly, compact and lightweight, autofocus fast and accurate. Cons: Unstabilized but you know it before you buy it Opinion: I wanted to do portraits again and for me the 85mm are ideal. I could have made an effort and take directly the 85mm 1.4 but I preferred to spend much less to regain confidence with the focal. The lens turned out to be a guessed purchase. Very usable TA just close one stop to have an excellent performance. Excellent really blurry, unexceptionable autofocus for precision and speed. In short, a perspective that costs little and really makes a lot. The only limitation is the absence of stabilization but all in all it is not an insurmountable problem. It is certainly not comparable to the 85mm 1.4 stabilized, which I tried and I find stratospheric, but it costs less than a quarter. Recommended. sent on February 05, 2019 |
 | Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM Pros: Extreme image quality, stabilization, fast and precise autofocus. Cons: Nothing apart from the maximum aperture "only" F4 Opinion: There is little to say about this optics that allows results similar to those obtainable with the best fixed giving up a little brightness... is extraordinary. Sharp and with very little distortion, AC negligible, very restrained vignetting, construction in pure L style even if not metal. I don't think there is any better qualitatively like wide angle zoom for FF. For my way of photographing is the optics of election. The stabilization is a plus though the focal hike would allow it to do without it, but it helps in low light conditions not having to climb too much with the ISO since the only limitation of this Canon masterpiece is the maximum aperture "only" F4. Absolutely to have. sent on January 05, 2019 |
 | Canon 6D Pros: General quality, precise MAF, battery consumption, light and machinable RAW files, chromatic range Cons: Screen not fully orientable, few points of MAF a viewfinder but for me have never been a problem Opinion: Socket used with 5000 shots less than 700 euros to replace a 200d Rubatami (my budget did not allow me a higher expense for a 6d MK2) I am extremely satisfied. I use only with Canon L lenses: an old but perfect 70-200 L IS USM F4 of 11 years, a 24-70 L IS USM F4 new and a 16-35 L IS USM new F4 taken by very little. From the operative point of view it turns out for me, that I have no huge hands, well-challendable and well balanced with all three optics. The controls are all in the right place and the top display to quickly set several parameters is extremely useful. Very fast to light up. The only thing I miss compared to the 200d is the screen, however excellent, fully orientable and touch thing that in some situations is a limit. I use the camera almost always at aperture priority, occasionally at time priority or in manual, never in complete automatism. Excellent battery consumption if you use only the viewfinder, there are many but many shots; Using the Live view intensively (which I do often) consumption is much higher... I do not say how many shots because it depends on how much time is on the screen more than the number of shots anyway a full day I can do it and so far I have never needed to use the spare battery. MAF very fast and precise viewfinder, especially with the center point, while with the sides I find it always accurate but less fast. MAF in live view very precise but less fast especially in low light conditions. From the point of view of surrender I find it excellent, even if it tends to underexpose a little something perhaps solvable with some settings. Excellent color range and good, but not extraordinary as I often read, the high ISO that is certainly higher than the 200d. In Post Production The RAW files are very very good and small in size, which allows you to use even PC not very fast or last generation. Great recovery of Shadows, a little less that of the highlights but nothing dramatic. Unless you have completely wrong the exposure you always get a very good result. The FF format allows for good crop even if seen the megapixels is better not to exaggerate to have optimal results, personally I'm always less croppando with the passage of time. The JPEG generated by the camera does not satisfy me, I shoot only in RAW but I would not mind the JPEG in the room as those of the Fuji X30 that I had for some time or like those of the Olympus OMD 10 Mark2 The small ML that joins my kit reflex. Basically a camera that really recommend if taken used in very good condition with maybe with a few shots as I took it. Less than 700 euros with a one year warranty I think I paid the right. sent on December 21, 2018 |
 | Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f/4-5.6 R Pros: General yield, focal range, lightness, price Cons: Hard Zoom Ring Opinion: At an incredibly low price it offers a remarkable quality already at full aperture, important thing since it is a little light optics. Taken to complete a kit M43 secondary covers all needs in the field Tele (is a 80-300 FF equivalent). He suffers a little at the highest focal but nothing dramatic. MAF precise and reasonably fast on OMD 10 mkii, color rendition a bit chilly but it easily system in PP. If you do not need an ultrarisolvent at full aperture is highly recommended. As others have done I also point out that the zoom ring is particularly Hard. The all-plastic construction, including bayonet, is of excellent workmanship and with quality materials helping to keep the price low. Recommended. sent on October 04, 2018 |
 | Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 EZ Pros: Extreme compactness when not operating Cons: Average output of kit lenses, no lens hood, electric zoom consumes battery Opinion: Looking for a very compact compact:-) that did not make me lose too much in quality and still allow me to have interchangeable optics as on the SLR I took a kit OM D 10 Mark II inclusive of this lens. The result is achieved, camera and lens mounted you put them anywhere, not in a pocket but in a normal pocket or in a pouch without problems. The optical performance of the lens is sufficient, in the average of the kit optics and it really allows you to walk without weights and clutter. Closing the diaphragm a lot the sharpness is good, otherwise the images are always a bit mixed, especially at the longest focal length. In short, a perspective from which not to expect much and to replace quickly with something better if you are willing to give up the ultra compactness of the Camera + lens set. A note on the zoom drive. It is electrically assisted and the ring on the optic does not rotate completely but behaves as if two buttons are assembled: turning it lightly on one side goes in tele, rotating it slightly on the other goes in wide angle. In essence you can zoom manually but the displacement of the lenses is carried out by the electric motor with consequent energy consumption. The automatic MAF is pretty fast. The stabilization is entrusted to the sensor in the machine body. In conclusion A view that I do not recommend to buy alone, better to take something else. If you take the camera in kit then it is highly recommended because you would buy a really compact system and overall acceptable quality. sent on July 23, 2018 |
 | Canon EF 24-70mm f/4 L IS USM Pros: Great sharpness, usable at TA, excellent color rendering, macro function more than acceptable, reasonable price. Cons: Plastic inner barrel and extending in the zooming phase Opinion: Taken by a few days I reserve to update after an adequate period of intensive use. The first impact is very positive, great sharpness also at TA, precise autofocus, fast and silent, excellent stabilization. The front lens does not rotate and allows easy use of the polarizer, is internal focus but not internal zoom and the lens lengthens and shortens zooming. Nice the hood with the convenient lock button, even in the resting position allows you to manually focus and of course to zoom. The shots are always very sharp, I have not noticed particular decays of quality or vignetting at the maximum apertures, the distortion at the shorter focals is very contained, almost unnoticeable if you shoot in a bubble but everything is still easily fixed in PP. The optics is heavy and conveys the impression of a solid object and well built, the ring nuts have both the right friction (I took the new lens, we will see how it behaves in time) that the right demultiplying. I was in doubt between the 2.8 not stabilized and this and I'm glad I chose this. The macro function I just tried it in a couple of shots because I did not take the lens for this function but it seems satisfactory. In essence as first impression excellent objective and that apart from the plastic of the inner barrel deserves absolutely the red strip of L series. sent on June 26, 2018 |
 | Kenko Pro 300 DGX 1.4x Pros: Robustness, maintains the automation, compatible with Canon lenses more than the original, cost Cons: Nothing special Opinion: The multiplier is done well and does not introduce obvious quality drops if you close the smooth lens of one or two diaphragms (at TA I see the difference). I do not use it very much but given the price and yield makes me very comfortable on some occasions, I use it exclusively with the Canon 70-200 F4. Autofocus and Automations maintained perfectly. Recommended. sent on May 25, 2018 |
 | Canon 200D Pros: Medium/high ISO performance, ergonomics, quality of RAW files, swiveling, touch display and battery life. Cons: Has no micro AF in the room. Only 9 AF points in viewfinder. Often low-quality JPEG files. Opinion: Used as a new outlet in place of 1300D only because as I raised the ISO produced files that were disastrous this 200 d proved to be fast and reliable and with an APS-C sensor. Nice and convenient display full pivotal adjustment and full touch, good viewfinder. Quick to ignite and become operational. With quality optics produces RAW files consistently good while regardless of the objective used if you shoot in JPEG file quality collapses if shooting conditions are less than ideal. The auto focus is perfect in live view while in the viewfinder the different points from the Central sometimes are misfiring. Ultimately a great camera for photo amateurs even demanding. Highly recommended as entry level of quality for those who want to stay in the mirrorless reflex rather than on most modern systems both APS-C m4/3. sent on April 30, 2018 |
 | Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM Pros: Optical quality and constructive, AF speed, sealed and stabilized. Cons: Price from again considered that the third-party manufacturers are churning out fearsome rivals and performing Opinion: I purchased used about three months ago. Again I would not have taken it as it has a formidable competitor in the Tamron G2 which is also brighter and costs less. That being said I use little just because I love too wide angle lenses but when I need is perfect. Sharp already at room temperature, weighs the right, internal focus and internal zoom. Substantially in its class of tele is not iperluminoso don't think rivals. The autofocus is very fast and accurate even on my Canon 200 d which only has 9 points to focheggio in the viewfinder. Good focus, good color rendering. I'll look for him a duplicator Kenko 1.4 x hoping that all behave as I read in many reviews. If I recommend it? used it, certainly ... is a real number L. sent on April 24, 2018 |
 | Yongnuo EF YN 50mm f/1.8 Pros: Reasonably bright, always acceptable sharpness, price, blurry, accurate AF Cons: Materials, construction, noisy AF Opinion: Taken at less than 50 euros new on Amazon I am very satisfied in relation to the price. I use it for portraits (the blur is very very good) and occasionally for street on APS-C Canon and his work does it more than decently. Probably if you are not interested in the excellent blur it is worth the original Canon that even if it costs 2 to 3 times more it still remains an economic goal. Recommended if you absolutely want to save without sacrificing the quality of your photos. Mechanically it is ridiculous but for 50 euros you can not expect more. Reading the negative reviews I am led to think that I happened to have a particularly successful specimen or that even someone has not removed the protective film present on the sensor side lens. UPDATE February 2020 - almost a year later, I can only confirm the excellent performance. Also used on Canon 6D proves very useful in portraits, with a blurry even better than the 200D. I still think Canon 1.8 is good, but I keep this as long as it lasts. sent on March 17, 2018 |
 | Tokina AT-X 11-20mm f/2.8 PRO DX Pros: F 2.8 constant, fully usable at TA, sharpness, build quality, filter thread. Cons: Flare, mode of transition from AF to MF, only for APS Opinion: I've had it for a month and I use it for street and interior. I gave away the Canon 10-18 STM to take this Tokina. The yield is much higher, the sharpness is excellent from the maximum aperture. It is heavy but the build quality is very high, the ferrules run well and with the right friction. Effective and fast autofocus (on Canon 200D) both from viewfinder and Live View. The distortion is also contained at 11mm, if kept on the bubble is minimal and only for the closest subjects of the framing edge. The flare instead is always lurking. In practice it has no obvious defects in relation to the price. Although I personally do not mind the AF / MF switching mechanism is inconvenient, needless to hide it, but since all in all just get used to it and since it is not that you switch continuously from AF to MF there may be. Basically a wide-angle zoom that for an amateur photographer can be the ultimate optics. The lack of stabilization is not a defect either because it isknows before buying it either because the focal range is such that you can safely do without it. Too bad it's not even for FF but it would have cost much more. Basically promoted with a nice 9 out of 10 and highly recommended. sent on February 23, 2018 |
 | Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Neo Pros: Screen size, S-Pen, very few lag Cons: S-Pen easy to lose, digital zoom that significantly degrades image quality. Opinion: Telephone widely passed technologically when I write but I have faithfully served for several years and that does not make me feel the need to change it. I'll do everything for work and games without any problem. The screen is clearly visible even if it suffers a bit in full sunlight. The battery lasts me 24/36 hours with an average use and is recharged for 2/3 hours using a high efficiency battery charger. In short, I would buy it back with my eyes closed. I signal that I had to bring it to service due to extreme overheating that caused a WIFI failure. Overheating, however, was not due to a defect in the phone but to some applications that made the processor go to 1000! WIFI repair done very quickly under warranty and then once the unnecessary apps are eliminated no more a problem. I used it very much as a camera for family shots without worrying much about the quality, but it has always been more than acceptable except using the zoom that makes it drop in an impressive way. Rating 9 just because the useful S-Pen is easy tolose ... but it's not the phone's fault! sent on January 29, 2018 |
 | Fujifilm X30 Pros: JPEG and RAW quality, optical quality, build quality, versatility, completeness of functions, viewfinder, possibility to mount filters. Cons: Ring for over / under exposure is easy to confuse with that for setting the mode that also changes position as soon as you inadvertently touch it. Focal range that does not cover the extreme wide angle. Opinion: First true digital that I had and I believe I will never leave. Used for a long time only in JPEG has always baked beautiful images. Since I use it in RAW mode once I learned to use its many functions and the SILKYPIX RAW FILE CONVERTER EX 2.0 software supplied as standard with the machine I'm using it much better even if the need for PP intervention is not frequent given the native quality of the generated files. Usually in PP I make any crop and perspective corrections, color correction and exposure is almost never necessary unless something is wrong during shooting.rnrnThe ignition system is at least original if not bizarre and on prime can displace it as you need to rotate the zoom ring but just get used to it. The electronic viewfinder is excellent and responsive, does not regret the optical viewfinder and offers plenty of information in real time.rnrnThe arrangement of the controls is good but given the compactness of the body are very close to each other. In particular sand with the eye glued to the viewfinder you want to over / under expose the first times you have to do some practice because it is easy to turn by mistake instead of the appropriate ring that of the operating modes. In any case you can do almost anything without having to enter the menu, which makes the use of the X30 very fast in practice.rnrnAutofocus is precise and fast, shows some uncertainty only in very low light conditions at maximum focal length. Stabilization is excellent.rnrnDo not deceive its smallness and sensor Mpx number. It is simply exceptional also thanks to the firmware that runs it, really of an unexpected quality in a camera of this price class. You work safely up to 800 ISO but also to 1600 files are fully usable.rnrnThe focal zoom excursion covers 90% of shooting situations. On some occasions, especially indoors, one feels the lack of a wide-angle thrust focal length. The zoom has the front thread for the filters, what not usin non-interchangeable optical cameras. The diameter is a bit strange, you need to buy an adapter ring from a few euros and then you mount the world. Personally I always keep a neutral filter to protect the front lens and a dedicated lens hood. If necessary use a circular polarizer. rnrnThe tilting display is of excellent quality even if like practically all the others in bright light conditions is not very legible.rnrnThe battery lasts the right according to me, you have to keep in mind that even if you turn off the display the electronic viewfinder still absorbs energy. Let's say that going out without at least one spare battery is imprudent.rnrnIdeal to always have with you, as it is all-metal heavy but compact enough to fit in a pocket (not a pocket!). It is very discreet, perfect for the street and for environments where you do not have to be invasive. Take both JPEG and RAW (the Fuji has the RAF extension) of the highest quality with colors and sharpness that do not disappoint.rnrnInfinally a cameracomplete and quality. It can be a permanent solution for those who do not need the performance of a full frame and a wide angle. From the point of view of results outclasses almost all the APS even higher cost. If you start to use it then the SLR will often stay at home! RnrnTo do not overlook the beauty of the object. Vintage and effect, especially if taken in the silver / black version. Fuji X30 ... I love it and I recommend it.rnrnrn sent on January 18, 2018 |
 | Zenit Helios 44-2 58mm f/2.0 Pros: Sharp, sturdy, timeless charm, out of focus ... and reminds me of when I was young! Cons: Nobody considering that it is a true vintage Opinion: Bought about a few years ago with a Zenith body about 40 years ago, and accompanied me for almost twenty years, even after I had equipped myself with Nikon. Splendid lens that should be known to be used in full manual or step-down mode. I exhumed it to use it with great satisfaction on a Canon 1300D with Gobe adapter ring. It can not compete with modern high-end optics but with those of the mid-range if it is great. Perfect for portraits on APS-C can be used with satisfaction even in inverted macro or with extension tubes. It is a pleasure to occasionally give yourself moments of real photography and fuck automatisms, stabilizers etc etc ... the one in which you are only you, your lens and the photo you have in mind. Try it for portraits with a blurred effect and you will always carry it with you. It makes you want to go back to the analog ... sent on December 11, 2017 |
 | Canon 1300D Pros: Cost, RAW quality, wide optical availability. Cons: It goes into crisis with the high ISO, pentaspecchio and non-pentaprism, slow burst but for the price you can not ask for more. Opinion: I took it for the irrepressible desire to have a camera, after almost 20 years of photographic fasting, to support the beautiful and versatile Fuji X30 but that does not have the possibility to change optics. I'm not a digital photo expert and initially I met several difficulties and was disappointed. Then I realized that I had to change the approach and so the 1300D despite its obvious limits is giving me a lot of satisfaction. The most obvious advantage? with little expense you enter the Canon ecosystem and you can use many original and universal optics. I think I will soon switch to another camera, probably Pentax reselling the Canon material, but for now I'm really satisfied with this little girl who learns to use it produces images that I like a lot.rnrnNon technical comments because I do not have sufficient preparation in that sense. I can only say that it is perfect to start with the digital SLR even if with the benefit of hindsight I would have bought, spending "only" 200 euros more, thePentax K-S2 at an "almost" entry level price but with semi-transparent characteristics. sent on December 05, 2017 |
 | Tamron AF 18-200mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC Pros: Price / quality ratio, focal range, flare resistance, good color rendering, stabilizer. Cons: Little bright and is not the utmost of sharpness but given the price there may be, MAF weak with little light. Opinion: Discrete optics from 18 to 55/60 mm, then suffices. It is a good substitute for the Canon standard zoom as optical and mechanical quality as well as to have always available an economical teleconference that still works dignitously. If you're paired with a wide-angle zoom, maybe the Canon 10-18mm Canon, with two goals and a small expense, cover almost all the shooting needs. Effective MAF but with low light goes into trouble and sometimes forces it to focus in manual. The assembly is good even though it's all plastic, including bayonet. The hood is understated, effective but lightweight. There are better similar optics, but on the level of the price-quality ratio this makes its shape and allows you to get some satisfaction without feeling faint. Recommended considering its limits, I'm happy even though over time I will definitely go to something more powerful, maybe by taking a "standard" bright and good quality zoom and then a zoomed, brighter canvas zoom. Inso I have fun with this! sent on November 27, 2017 |
 | Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM Pros: Focal range, cost-effective, effective stabilization, low distortion, fast, precise and silent MAF. Cons: Very low flare resistance, low light but stabilizer helps, absence of standard hood. Opinion: I use it for a few weeks and honestly from an unknowing I was expecting more as above is written Canon and I was a little disappointed. Then using it I realized that even if it is not bright and particularly sharp, taking our hand is appreciated and allows with a limited expense to have virtually all the focal range for me indispensable from the wide angle pushed to the classic wide angle. Good chromatic yield although often need post production, but it also depends on the quality of the machine body. The flare is very evident, the specific lense is mandatory but it does not always save. When I get light in doubt between this and everything do 18-200 I do this. Recommended if you do not expect the best of quality, perfect for daytime amateur use, in the evening its low lightness is felt but not so much if you have a firm hand and keeps the stabilizer active ... even in this case the car body affects a lot, as economical as my Canon 1300D that has big limits in managing high ISO is not the%2339; ideal. It's almost all plastic but assembly is great. Overall satisfied. sent on November 25, 2017 |
