The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Pentacon 50mm f/1.8 MC (M42) Pros: Very solid, vintage aesthetics, bright, sharp in the center, excellent "bubble" bokeh at T.A., minimum distance of MAF at 33cm, used price Cons: Not extraordinary edge sharpness on FF (good on M43), iris stop-down button difficult to manage Opinion: Bought used in excellent condition for about 40 euros. It's the classic vintage lens with a pleasing aesthetic. The first version dates back to 1960. Very solid, all in black metal, with a rather simple optical scheme and 6-blade diaphragm. Fantastic Bokeh at T.A., with an excellent "bubble" blur effect. Used on an Olympus OM-D EM-10 it becomes a 100mm equivalent for portraits, semi-macro of flowers and plants, details. In the center it is sharp. The advantage of using it on ML M43 is that at T.A. it maintains a good depth of field, nice creamy bokeh, and edges are acceptable too. Smooth manual focusing thanks to an easy-to-operate MAF ring and remarkable creative possibilities thanks to a minimum distance of only 33cm. Overall rating 9.5 sent on February 25, 2025 |
 | 7artisans 35mm f/0.95 Pros: Robust metal construction, very bright, center sharpness at full aperture, optical construction (presence of 2 ED + 1 aspherical lenses), 12-blade diaphragm for good bokeh, smooth focus ring Cons: Flare in backlight, poor quality at the edges at T.A., declicked aperture (but this is not a problem for me) Opinion: Second-hand lens purchased for my Nikon Z50. For the price paid it is an excellent lens, taking into account the fact that I use it for details, plants and environmental portraits. If used well, it gives three-dimensionality to the image thanks to the strong detachment of the planes. Very good optical quality in the center even at full aperture, less so at the edges. Important flare in semi-backlight but reducible, even a lot, thanks to a simple rubber lens hood (not included in the package). For the rest: low weight, excellent mechanical quality, beautiful aesthetics. A very good lens for experimenting and playing with light that sometimes returns surprising results.

 | Meyer Gorlitz Orestegon 29mm f/2.8 Pros: Solid, vintage aesthetic, bright, great bokeh at T.A., minimum distance of MAF at 25cm, pretty sharp in the center Cons: Sharpness at the edges to forget on FF, acceptable on M43, MAF ring difficult to manage Opinion: Bought used in good condition. It is the classic vintage lens with a nice 60s aesthetic (zebra effect chrome). The first version dates back to 1966. Solid, with a rather simple optical scheme and a 6-blade diaphragm. Fantastic Bokeh at T.A., used on an Olympus OM-D EM-10 becomes a 58mm equivalent for floral subjects and set portraits. In the center it is quite sharp. The advantage of using it on ML M43 is that at T.A. it maintains a good depth of field and nice bokeh and the edges are also acceptable. Manual focusing is rather difficult due to a very narrow MAF ring and rather hard to operate, but considerable creative possibilities thanks to a minimum distance of only 25cm.

 | Nikon AF-P 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 E ED VR Pros: Light, easy to handle, razor-sharp up to 280mm even at T.A., excellent stabilizer up to 4.5 EV, lightning-fast AF, 9-blade aperture, focusing distance at 1.2 meters (at 300mm) Cons: Infinity sharpness from 280 to 300mm at T.A., lack of a zoom ring lock, lack of distance scale, price of new Opinion: Bought on hand almost like new to replace the valid 70-300 G VR, slow and inaccurate in AF on ML Nikon Z. After reading the rave reviews about Juza, I expected a blade-sharp telezoom lens at all focal lengths, even at full aperture. After numerous tests I can say with certainty that science fiction has not yet become reality and, to have "space" performance on this range of focal lengths, 600-650 euros are not enough, especially at Nikon: the 70-300 is in fact very sharp up to 280mm even at T.A., especially at close range. Then, at infinity and from 280 to 300mm, you have to close at least 2/3 stops to get good quality images. For the rest, nothing to say: very fast and precise autofocus, excellent stabilizer, respectable optical quality up to the fateful 280mm, optimal lightness and handling, nice bokeh thanks to the 9 blades of the diaphragm, improved optical scheme compared to the old 70-300 G. I would recommend it for the portability and versatility that make me almost always put it in my bag, while I would definitely leave a lens of significantly larger size, weight and price at home. Too bad I don't have the Zoom ring lock. The lens, unfortunately, extends on its own due to the force of gravity and the weight of the lenses. Overall rating 9.2 sent on January 02, 2025 |
 | Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM Pros: Solid construction, complex optical design with quality lenses, bright, very good bokeh Cons: AF a bit slow in low light, doesn't work with FTZ on Nikon Z6, but works on Z5 and Z6III, not weather sealed Opinion: Owner of a Nikon Z kit, I wanted to combine this splendid 50 f/1.4 with the excellent Nikon Z 50 f/1.8 S, in order to have 2/3 of a stop more for half-length portraits and in low light conditions. I bought it second-hand, as new, at a very attractive price and I must say that it is an excellent lens for quality and sharpness of the images even at full aperture, especially in the center. The bokeh is pleasant, the flare resistance good and the chromatic aberrations almost absent. Solid and robust, quite heavy, but compact, it balances well even on Nikon Z MLs. I had been told that the older Sigma generation, to which this lens belongs, would lose AF with the FTZ adapter. True on the Z6 but, surprisingly, mounted on the Z5 and Z6III it focuses without problems and even recognizes faces and eyes! AF isn't a lightning bolt on any Nikon camera (not even the D-series), but it does the job well. The lens hood is included and pretty solid. It is not tropicalized, but with this type of optics I don't need it. I am satisfied with it: vote 9. sent on November 28, 2024 |
 | Nikon Z6 III Pros: Autofocus speed, 8EV stabilizer, new processor, partially stacked sensor, excellent quality of raw and jpeg files, screen adjustable in all directions, solidity and tropicalization, fast burst, customization of functions, excellent EVF Cons: Small details such as: multiple shots not programmable via the self-timer function, pre-shooting only in JPEG. Opinion: New take, on launch offer, from a professional retailer, thanks to the excellent review that our Editor made on Juzaphoto and the praise of the Dpreview site, which gave the third edition of the Z6 a gold award. In both presentations of the new Nikon it was emphasized that the Z6III was not just another restyling, but a new product, with a new partially "stacked" sensor and a new processor (Expeed 7), capable of making this camera a real innovation in the Nikon ML scene. After a week of testing, I can confirm that this is the case: everything has improved compared to the Z6 and Z6II, especially from the point of view of autofocus speed and burst, for photos of wildlife, birds, action, sports. Stabilization up to 8 EV allows you to photograph in practically all light conditions and the quality of raw and jpeg files up to ISO 12800 is impeccable and still acceptable up to ISO 25600. The customization functions and innovative algorithms make the Z6III an extremely versatile camera for both the amateur photographer and the professional (who perhaps wants to combine it with one of the 2 flagships, which remain at the top of the Nikon kit). Excellent EVF. After an initial moment of disappointment, I realized, thanks to a post on a well-known American photo forum, that the energy saving function was activated in my camera. Once this function was deactivated, the EVF showed all its effectiveness, even better after some manual settings (+2 brightness, slightly warmer tones in the colors). Some digital noise remains in the viewfinder in low light conditions, but the end result in the photo taken is excellent: clean file with plenty of detail even in low light. Overall an amazing camera, to be studied well for the many functions added in the menu. Vote 10! sent on October 10, 2024 |
 | Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.7 Pros: Small footprint, light weight, optical design (4 ED lenses and 3 HR), bokeh (9-blade rounded diaphragm), quality of materials, USB-C socket for firmware update, price, lens hood included Cons: Autofocus a bit slow in low light conditions Opinion: A small jewel of Chinese technology, offered at a ridiculous price compared to the most titled competition. On my Nikon Z50 it fits perfectly with minimal footprint and weight. Excellent sharpness even at T.A. (f/1.7) in the center, nice bokeh, thanks to the 9-blade diaphragm. Despite being proposed as an entry-level lens, the optical scheme is respectable with 4 ED "Low dispersion lenses" and 3 "High refractive index" lenses. Good quality metal bayonet with USB-C socket for any firmware updates and lens hood that, even folded, allows easy manual MF. The only flaw, autofocus is a bit slow in poor lighting conditions, but perfectly manageable. Rating 9.5-10 sent on October 04, 2024 |
 | Rollei Compact Traveler No. 1 Carbon Pros: Very light, versatile, robust, refined, with an excellent head with Arca Swiss attachment, in the latest version the spirit level is of good quality Cons: Unstable if used in full extension, the central column cannot be unscrewed for use at ground level Opinion: Excellent travel tripod, light, versatile (it can be transformed into a monopod if necessary), finished in detail, in carbon fiber, which ensures both lightness and relative strength. Very handy: folded it measures only 33 cm with the head and weighs less than 1 kg. According to the manufacturer, it can withstand a weight of up to 8 kg. I used it with a Nikon Z6, SmallRig metal bracket and Nikkor Z 24-200 for a total weight of about 1.5 kg and the seal of the whole was perfect. Unfortunately, it can almost never be used at maximum extension: due to its lightness it also suffers from a breath of wind, but it is a travel stand and you have to adapt to situations: there is also a convenient hook to stabilize it by attaching a weight under the central column! In conclusion, due to its lightness and small size, it easily fits into a small backpack with minimal photographic equipment. Recommended for short outings, family or vacation. If you are looking for a professional tripod for 20000 euro equipment and glossy magazine reportage, you have to look elsewhere. For my daily use and outings with friends or family it is highly recommended: rating 9.5 sent on September 13, 2024 |
 | 7artisans 7.5mm f/2.8 Fisheye II Pros: Small, light, cheap, pretty sharp in the center (f/4.0 onwards), exceptional angle of view (190 degrees), all metal Cons: No automatism, manual focus only, 5-blade iris not rounded (but fine on a fish-eye), poor edge sharpness Opinion: Taken used almost as a joke at the price of two bottles of wine for my Nikon Z50, I could see that it is not a toy! It is all metal, solid, with a respectable optical design of 12 lenses, including four high-quality Hoya lenses (and 2 ED), very handy and light. The angle of view is excellent (190 degrees) and the image in the center is sharp, starting at f/4.0. Of course, the all-manual focus and the total absence of automatisms could create problems, especially if you are in a hurry. The best thing is to use it in hyperfocal mode thanks to the considerable depth of field. At f/5.6 it goes from infinity to about a meter. For close-up shots, you have to be more careful. The smooth 5-blade manual diaphragm isn't a guarantee of pleasing bokeh, but it's certainly not a portrait lens, and even the less-sharp edges in a fish-eye are hardly noticeable. Overall, a good lens for the price it costs, a lot of fun! Rated 8.5 sent on May 08, 2024 |
 | Viltrox AF 23mm f/1.4 Pros: Very sharp in the center, good color rendering (on Nikon Z), bright, presence of aperture ring (9 blades), effective AF, excellent bokeh, good construction and very robust lens hood, USB C socket on the bayonet for firmware update. Economic. Cons: Rather heavy, smooth, non-lockable aperture ring on A (automatic) Opinion: Recently purchased for my Nikon Z50 thanks to a promotion, I immediately appreciated this lens for the sharpness of the images in the center, even at full aperture. Good bokeh in the ambient portrait and correct color rendering on Nikon Z. For my use of it, the drop in sharpness at the edges at large apertures and the "purple fringing" present in backlight from f/1.4 to f/1.8 do not represent a serious limitation. Just close down to f/2.0 or 2.8 and almost all problems are solved. The autofocus is accurate and fast on the Nikon. The "declicked" manual aperture is useful when shooting video and when you want to quickly switch between values without having to remember the direction of rotation of the dial on the camera. However, since the lens does not have a ring lock, the risk of accidentally operating it is quite high. Otherwise the lens is solid, with metal bayonet, the lens hood (quality) is included in the package and despite the weight of 300 g (it's a 1.4!) it balances well on the Nikon Z50. I am satisfied with it. Rated 9.5 sent on May 04, 2024 |
 | Sigma 105mm f/2.8 Macro DG OS HSM Pros: Razor-sharp and bright, magnificent bokeh, stabilized (normal and active), autofocus limiter for long or short distances, functional and effective autofocus, presence of ED and FLD lenses in the optical scheme, two lens hoods supplied for FF and APS-C, duplicable with Sigma TC (1.4x and 2.0x) Cons: Weight and bulk (but not greater than the competition), metallic noise of the stabilizer, which must be used with care (it is recommended to turn it off before connecting or disconnecting it to/from the camera body) Opinion: Recently purchased used at a very attractive price, I use it with satisfaction on the Nikon ML Z5 and Z6 bodies. On Nikon Z50 it becomes a 157mm macro stabilized, very useful for microfauna. On occasion it can also be used as a medium portrait canvas and thanks to the brightness and excellent bokeh it does not make you regret optics created specifically for this purpose (and much more expensive)! Razor-sharp both as a macro and as a general-purpose lens, it has an excellent stabilizer (4-4.5 stops), useful in many situations, including handheld macro. The only limits are the weight and the size, but you have to take into account for a lens of this type! The autofocus, in my opinion, works well. Of course, it would be difficult to catch an eagle in flight, but it was not born for that. The price when new is more than fair and can be found in the used at very interesting figures! Only the A of ART of the most recent Sigma generations is missing, which perhaps would deserve in a future restyling (but which would inevitably also increase the price).

 | Nikon AF 24-85mm f/2.8-4 D IF Pros: Impeccable sharpness from f/4 onwards; Lightning-fast AF on cameras with an internal autofocus motor (it's not AF-s); very good rendering of tones and colors; it still has the aperture ring; Nice and useful macro function Cons: Clumsy and quite heavy; dim at f/2.8; distorts a lot at 24mm; it's not AF-s Opinion: Very old lens that I bought second-hand many years ago. It's at its best with older generation Nikon DX (APS-C) digital cameras, which still support on-camera AF. I still use it with pleasure on an old Nikon D300 where it corresponds to a 36-127.5, an interesting focal range for portrait, street and certain types of landscape. On the D300 the AF is very fast because the focus ring has a very short angle of rotation before switching to the macro function (which is normally locked by a selector). It returns very beautiful colors and an interesting tonal range. I also used it on a Nikon FM-2 as the aperture ring is present, unlockable, and allows it to be used even on old analog and manual Nikons. With a little care, you can also use it as a macro lens, which is quite sharp. Never tried it on FF. In short, an interesting lens. Rated 9 sent on March 06, 2024 |
 | Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Pros: Bright; sharp in the center already wide open; solid construction; presence of ED and aspherical lenses in the optical scheme; window for the distance scale. Cons: Weight, price of new, lack of a version with Nikon Z mount. Opinion: I bought this gorgeous lens two weeks ago to equip my two Nikon full-frame ML bodies (Z5 and Z6) with a super bright fixed mid-wide-angle lens. Thanks to the second-hand market I found it at a really interesting price and I found that, on Nikon ML bodies, especially on Nikon Z6, the performance is excellent. No front/back focus, impressive sharpness in the center even at full aperture, although you have to pay attention to the camera angle because, as is logical, at 1.4 on FF the depth of field is minimal. Extraordinary bokeh even at f/2.8-4.0, where it undoubtedly gives its best. The colors are beautiful and saturated, despite some critics saying otherwise. Of course, the weight is considerable and it is certainly not a travel lens, unless you have a sherpa, but quality and brightness also imply this. Thanks to the brightness of the lens in closed and dimly lit environments, the light of a LED spotlight is enough to give three-dimensionality to the subject in the foreground, which this lens does very well! Great lens hood included in the package. Solid, sturdy, it attaches well to the lens barrel. In short, personally I am very satisfied with the purchase! Overall rating 9.5 sent on February 22, 2024 |
 | Nikon Z DX 12-28mm f/3.5-5.6 PZ VR Pros: Sharpness, light weight, portability, stabilizer (4.5 EV), zoom smoothness, AF speed Cons: Lack of lens hood Opinion: I recently bought this beautiful lens for my Nikon Z50, in order to replace the now outdated Nikkor AF-P 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6 VR, which did not convince me on the Nikon Z. The new Nikkor 12-28 is a little gem for sharpness, at all focal lengths and with almost all apertures, portability and fluidity of zooming with the power zoom system, which in my opinion is very effective. The stabilizer is very useful and powerful: it allowed me to shoot handheld at 12mm at 1/2 second without any motion blur. The color rendition and contrast are also great. Too bad for the lack of the lens hood in the package which, like all Nikons, if purchased separately has an exaggerated cost. Fixed the problem with a compatible at 18 euros.

 | Nikon Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR Pros: Compact, lightweight, versatile, sharp on all focal lengths, impeccable VR, fast and silent AF, tropicalized Cons: Low-light Opinion: I have owned this lens for about 4 months and it is difficult to separate it from my nikon Z5, especially during family trips. The overall image quality is very good at all focal lengths, the autofocus is fast and quiet. The VR masterfully supports the stabilized sensor of the Nikon Z full-frame and allowed me to shoot at 200mm at 1/15 of a second, a useful feature to compensate for the low brightness of the lens especially at longer focal lengths (f / 6.3). The construction of the barrel is in my opinion excellent and the tropicalization (average) helps in case of rain, photos in humid environments or in the presence of splashing water. Not being an S-series lens I would not use it in extreme weather situations. Ideal for travel, compact and versatile, it has all the focal lengths to take 90 percent of the photos in this category. Sharp enough, it is easily transported and does not weigh an exaggeration. In short, an excellent all-rounder useful especially when you want to travel light and for non-specialist uses.

 | Nikon Z DX 50-250mm f/4.5-6.3 VR Pros: Lightweight, compact, versatile, sharp at every focal length, stabilized, very fast AF, ideal companion of the Nikon Z50 and Zfc together with the 16-50 of the kit. Cons: Not very bright, but you can't have everything! Opinion: I bought this lens just over a year ago and have used it on many occasions mounted on a Nikon Z50, with excellent results. It is the ideal companion of my camera along with the 16-50 lens of the kit. It is appreciated for the range of focal lengths very useful especially in travel (corresponds to a 75-375 on FF) and for its lightness and compactness. To this is added a very effective stabilizer (up to 4.5 EV) and a sharpness that does not disfigure compared to more noble optics, but much heavier and more expensive. The autofocus is fast and quite accurate, even in low light situations. Its only real limit is the brightness (4.5-6.3 are a problem in low light conditions, although the BSI sensor of the Nikon Z50 and Zfc allows you to compensate rather well). We must consider, however, that an opening of only half a diaphragm more would involve costs, dimensions and weights that would often leave it in the closet at home, while this lens accompanies me everywhere!

 | Olympus OM-D E-M5 III Pros: Light and very compact, excellent AF even in low light, impeccable sensor (20 Mpx), excellent stabilizer (5.5 EV), articulated and adjustable monitor, excellent EVF, focus-stacking, many rings and buttons for perfect customization Cons: Battery life, very delicate plastic finishes Opinion: I bought the Olympus OM-D EM-5 mark III this summer with the aim of replacing the already excellent Mark II (which I then kept). In my opinion it is for my needs the best Olympus I have ever had: with a lightweight, robust, tropicalized and ergonomic body it perfectly embodies the Micro 4/3 philosophy. I carry it everywhere in a small bag. With the 14-150 it becomes the all-rounder camera for light bike rides, with the pair PRO 12-40 f/2.8 and PRO 40-150 F/2.8 does not regret the older sisters EM-1 II or III. The sensor, in fact, is the same 20 Mpx, one of the best for the MFT format. The autofocus is effective and precise (except in extreme situations), the stabilizer excellent. 100% customizable with the ability to assign to the various buttons and dials present practically all the functions. Excellent ability to perform HDR and focus-stacking "on camera" at a good level of quality. The only flaw, the battery life. In fact I always carry 4 with me and I solved the problem!

 | Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-40mm f/2.8 PRO Pros: Bright, razor-sharp, versatile, robust, tropicalized, professional manual MAF ring, minimum focusing distance, optimized for focus-staking, customizable function button on the barrel Cons: Maybe a bit bulky mounted on non-PRO Olympus/OM System bodies Opinion: I have owned this lens for 5 years and it has never disappointed me. The sharpness is impeccable at all focal lengths and, compared to the various 24-70 f./2.8 PRO of the competition, corresponds to a 24-80 at the same constant aperture on all focal lengths. It therefore lends itself very well to the classic portrait. Bright enough for indoor photos without flash, thanks to the stabilizer integrated in all Olympus/OM-System bodies, it is an all-rounder of great quality and robustness. Tropicalization is valid; it has a convenient ring for the manual MAF with "clutch", as on the old non-AF analog SLR lenses, which can be activated with a click; it has a dedicated function button, activated by the camera, for multiple uses; It is optimized for focus-stacking, in a system that does not allow this functionality with all objectives. The cost is quite high, but there are excellent opportunities in the used now that the new version has come out (not essential, except for extreme weather conditions). To have in your MFT kit.

 | Nikon Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR Pros: Very sharp at all focal lengths, lightweight, compact, very effective VR (4.5 EV) Cons: Collapsible opening, f./6.3 from 40mm onwards Opinion: A little jewel purchased used for my Nikon Z50 at an amazing price. It goes perfectly with the Z50, of which it is an ideal complement: light, compact, very sharp on all focal lengths, with an excellent stabilizer that does not regret the lack of IBIS on the body of the Z50. With the 50-250Z composes the ideal kit for the new Nikon ML APS-C and does not disfigure in front of more noble lenses that weigh 5 times as much and cost 10 times more. Built in sturdy plastic, from an impression of solidity and quality, the zoom is smooth and the AF very fast and silent. Sturdy plastic bayonet is not a problem for me. The only flaws are the low brightness at the longest focal lengths, but well compensated by the stabilizer, and the small shot to extend the barrel that makes you lose those 2 seconds that could prevent you from seizing a particular moment. Overall a well-designed and excellent kit lens in every respect. Vote, taking into account the many positive elements: 9.5 sent on November 01, 2022 |
 | Nikon Z5 Pros: Compact, robust, tropicalized, great sensor, excellent EVF, dual SD card slots, flawless stabilizer up to 5 EV, numerous customization options Cons: Disappointing 4.5 ft/s burst, very slow AF, 4k movies "cut" to 1.7x, unable to block the AF point in single AF mode, screen with strong digital noise in low light, FSI sensor (but this is not a problem for me) Opinion: I recently bought this Nikon entry level ML to have an FX camera in my kit. It is my first full-frame camera and I am very satisfied with the quality of the images in both JPG and RAW; the OLED viewfinder is excellent from all points of view and the customizable functions are numerous and complete. There is also the possibility of photo-stacking. Robust and weatherproof body, dual SD card (UHSII) slots, joystick for focusing point adjustment and many other features make it a semi-pro camera. Unfortunately, however, the extreme slowness of the burst and autofocus make it unsuitable for any dynamic use (sports, wildlife, birds in flight, etc.). Even shooting in low light conditions is difficult due to the annoying "noise" of the screen and the viewfinder, although then the image taken by the sensor is impeccable up to 6400 ISO and very good even at 12800 ISO. In short, an excellent camera for still-life, portraits, landscapes and static subjects in general. Vote 9 sent on October 15, 2022 |
 | Nikon Z 28mm f/2.8 (SE/non-SE) Pros: Compact, bright, lightweight, sharp, economical, ultra-fast autofocus Cons: Lacks VR for use on DX cameras Opinion: I recently took this small lens to match my Nikon Z50, on which it becomes a 42mm equivalent in the FF. I really appreciated the portability and lightness of this gem, useful to take with you on trips to have a small bright fix next to the optics of the kit. Very sharp in the center also at TA and, on DX, also valid at the edges. The only problem, at least for my use, is that, lacking the stabilizer, in low light situations the microwavy is always lurking. For photos in optimal light situations it is a must to have in the kit, also considering the ridiculous price (especially in the used). Rating 9.5 sent on September 25, 2022 |
 | Nikon Z50 Pros: Excellent image quality, dynamic range, lightness, ergonomics, high ISO seal, Jpg quality, excellent kit optics. Cons: Lack of stabilizer, front buttons not very usable. Opinion: Extraordinary camera, it offers an impressive image quality even with the kit lenses (16-50 and 50-250). With lenses such as af-s 16-80 f/2.8-4 VR and Af-s 70-200 f/2.8 VR and the FTZ adapter delivers images worthy of a professional camera for sharpness, dynamic range and quality of detail. A small jewel that also allows lovers of the APS-C (DX) format to enter the mirrorless world of Nikon Z, which really represents a step forward compared to the Nikon D in many respects. The size and some features (such as the minimum time of 1/4000s and the inability to use a handle) are from an entry level camera, but all the other functions (from bracketing up to 9 frames, to customizing the functions, to the burst of 11 frames per second) place it more among the semi-pros! The latest generation 20mpx CMOS sensor, the expeed VI processor and the protection against the weather make it a light, versatile, compact travel companion, excellent in every situation and the optics of the Kit allow you to meet 90% of the needs of a medium-evolved amateur photographer! Personally, I am very satisfied with this. Rating: 9.5 sent on May 07, 2022 |
 | Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-150mm f/4-5.6 II Pros: Extreme versatility, portability, weatherproof, fairly sharp, 28-300 equivalent focal range in which 80 percent of photographic situations fall, economical Cons: Not very bright after 70mm, at extreme focal lengths it tends to knead images with certain sensors Opinion: It is the main lens of my lightweight travel kit, together with the Olympus OM-D E-M5 II and the M.Zuiko 9-18 f./4-5.6 Very compact, lightweight, tropicalized, adaptable a bit to all kinds of photography (I also do some macros), it is the ideal companion for those who often travel with the family and has no space for large kits and bright but heavy lenses, nor time to change goals often. Of course, if you are looking for absolute quality you have to turn to other lenses (such as the combined 12-40 f / 2.8 PRO and 40-150 f / 2.8 PRO) but with other weights and dimensions, in addition to the time and missed opportunities to change lenses continuously. In short, an excellent compromise price (in the used ridiculous), quality (for me good), performance (excellent). To be supplied with Olympus/OM Digital. sent on April 03, 2022 |
 | Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 9-18mm f/4.0-5.6 Pros: Compact, lightweight, razor-sharp, good color rendering Cons: Maybe not very bright, but for me it's not a problem Opinion: Purchased second-hand (practically new) two years ago, it has become my travel wide-angle zoom par excellence, almost always glued to my Olympus OM-D E-M10 mark II. Very light, sharp and almost invisible fully meets my needs for a versatile and compact wide-angle zoom, fully in the "micro 4/3" concept. The color rendering is also excellent and the thread of the standard filters (52mm) allows me to use any filter at a low price without problems. Keeping in mind that it is a wide angle low light is not a problem for me, thanks to the excellent stabilizer integrated in the Olympus bodies. For portraits or nature photography, where bokeh is important, I use other optics! If we really want to find flaws: hood absent in the package, unpleasant aesthetics and the need to unlock the zoom to use it. But they are little compared to the advantages of such a versatile lens. sent on March 27, 2022 |
 | Nikon AF-P DX 10-20mm f/4.5-5.6G VR Pros: Excellent value for money, versatile and light, costs 1/4 of the brother "major" 10-24, has the VR. Cons: VR and AF-S can not be disconnected on cameras before 2015. Can not be used completely on Nikon digital cameras of the older generations. Opinion: An excellent lens, light and all-rounder, has now become an integral part of my "minimal" Nikon equipment: Nikon D5500, 18-55 VRII, 10-20 VR, 55-200 VRII.rnTested during several trips, he returned great images sharpness and excellent overall quality. For such an objective, a certain distortion must be taken into account, which is however already correctable with the activation of the new camera firmware. sent on December 27, 2017 |
