nikon_d610Nikon D610

Pros: Sharpness, dynamic range, ISO seal, weight, price, dual SD slot, wide optical availability, tropicalized body, size.

Cons: Maybe the viewfinder a little dark, AF points grouped in the center.

Opinion: Does buying a Nikon d610 REFLEX in 2020 still make sense? I think so! It all depends on the type of photography you take. I do mostly Still Life, portrait and landscape, so I don't need a fast car, with lots of focus points, wifi or Bluetooth connections, 4k GPS videos and more, just take off and insert the sd card into the reader of my old PC to transfer the images. There are on the market Full-frame with impressive resolutions but they also need up to the hardware, PCs with powerful processor video card and abundant ram and large hard disks, and then find that for publishing on the web you have to lower the resolution a lot. A machine with double SD slot, tropicalized body, to which you can mount 50 years of Nikon optics and also the right optics of the Nikon Apsc, obviously with crop. It has a good battery that if used without the use of the display can safely exceed a daily photo output. For the most demanding there is the possibility to buy a battery grip to double the autonomy and for a better grip with vertical shots. The full format sensor is fantastic, returns a clean and well-workable file in post production, in laboratory tests Dxomak achieved a score of 94. A few negative notes, if you can call it that; The viewfinder that I think is a bit dark, but then you get used to it. On the other hand, the LEDs of the settings and the exposure meter are clearly visible, which drove me crazy in my old Pentax. AF points are grouped in the middle but I don't make a drama out of it, I'm used to working with just one central point. I focus and hold down the shutter button i recompose the scene. What made me fall in love with this machine and the feeling of solidity, the well-arranged controls that allow you to work faster. I believe that it is also the ideal machine for those who approach photography, without spending a fortune, many complain about the excessive cost of optics, but just use the fixed lenses, in addition to being very cheap they are also brighter. Especially for newbies they help to better understand the photographic composition than the zooms. The only precaution to be taken is that most fixed optics are without stabilizer so it must be taken into account, using shooting times /safety exposure : In simple terms a good camera for photographing.

nikon_afs18-140Nikon AF-S 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR

Pros: Lightness, focal ranges, sharpness, AF speed, stabilization

Cons: Un bright, light lampshade not supplied but can be purchased separately with a few euros.

Opinion: Great value for money, on the quality of the lens there is little to say is known to everyone. I needed a medium zoom lens and my choice fell on this lens. On the field it behaves very well, the best it gives on the medium diaphragms and focal points, it is certainly not a sample of brightness but you have to take into account the type of use and cost. The weight is 490 grams. lighter than the Sigma 50mm 1.4 EX DG HSM in my possession weighing 500g. I notice a bit of optical aberration and at the maximum focal point highlights a bit of vignette all solvable in post. production. Recommended for all generic photography, a little less for those specific categories that require maximum brightness.

sigma_50_f1-4Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM

Pros: Sharpness, bokeh

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: I use this lens on a pentax k20d and I have no focus problem (maybe I'm lucky). The lens is just fantastic, the other fixtures I've tried don't even come close to the quality of the photos it produces. I almost always use it at full openness in dimly lit environments, shooting almost always in natural light, achieving amazing results. The lens is sharp to go crazy, and has fantastic colors. Most of the photos taken do not retouch them, they are already perfect so. I took it by preferring it to the Pentax SMC FA 50 mm f/1.4 given the reviews on the internet and I have no regrets about the choice. Only neo the weight and clutter compared with similar products, as it comes closer to a 24-70 zoom than a fixed, but for me it is not a problem, indeed it balances the machine body very well. The construction is very solid and is equipped with bag and lampshade.
