tamron_17-28rxdTamron 17-28mm f/2.8 Di III RXD

Pros: Lightness, brightness

Cons: Focal excursion

Opinion: I recently purchased this technological wonder, so I reserve to update the review later. I make a premise I come from the wonderful tokina 11-20 F2.8, and I needed something to replace it on full frame. Immediately excluding the zeiss 16-35 f4 because of the low light, which I consider fundamental since I am passionate about photos in the milky way, and also the sony GM that costs a disproportionate (I do not see how justifiable it is to spend twice to have practically indistinguishable photos), my choice immediately fell on this little jewel. Let's start with the construction, the lens is entirely of good quality plastic, you will need to test the resistance to scratches over time. The lens carries a lampshade, it has the ability to zoom internally like my old Tokina (which was, however, a cartormato). There is no button for the auto/manual focus switch, which is totally negligible due to the fact that all modern ml have the ability to change this setting internally (personally I have it on the joystick). The lens comes out without stabilizer, which is not the best for videos, but it is absolutely not a problem for photographs (with 1/30 you are abundantly safe on 24 Mpx - 1/60 maybe for 42 Mpx), having a stabilized body useless say it, helps. The lens is resistant to dust and splashes, with dials everywhere, other interesting plus. The lens has a fluorine coating, it is a high-end feature, which makes it easy to clean the front lens. What really makes the difference however beyond the undoubted optical quality, is to have a lens that together with the machine body has a weight equal to half of a reflex with 16 35 2.8. Believe me, I have no other words to call it if not monstrous. Finally the pleasure of taking photography. Speaking of the hike, I went from a 17.6-32 to a 17-28. What to say considering that the bulk of the photos you will make at 17, an interesting gain, at 28 you can barely make some scenes set approaching the subject, but nothing more. This is the price to pay for having a 400gram lens. I intentionally decided not to talk about optical quality, because as you can imagine any lens born in 2019, and costing 1000 euros, can only be simply glorious, especially if we talk about full frame from "only" 24 megapixels. Interesting elements to consider, thanks to a rather simple construction, and good interior coatings the lens resists the flare very well. I could not appreciate the bokeh adequately (which seems to be the weak point of 28-75), because it produces very little, and in any case it must be forced to approach the subject obtaining often unreal proportions. From the point of view of the maf is comparable, but not as a sony lens (it will be because tamron sees sony as its main shareholder) let's say that if a sony lens makes 10/10, this will make 9/10. The lens wonderfully supports the eye af. The focus ring, it's focus-by-wire, so you won't act directly on the fire, I reserve to make a judgment on its usability. For now, it has seemed no less than classical, although it is a further complication, necessary for modern fire systems. Last element, the sony supports correcting distortion, aberrations and in-room vignettes for jpegs, while lightroom (what a shame) still does not have the lens profile available (but the one present in the raw is recognized). Having said that, I can only recommend the product, in addition if you buy a polyphoto product (Italian) you can have the extension of the guarantee by registering it on the site. I can't wait to travel there for a while!

canon_efs_55-250stmCanon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM

Pros: Optical Quality - Price Quality Ratio - Acceptable Brightness

Cons: Really nothing related to the price

Opinion: All in all interesting, a third of a stop brighter than the Sony counterpart. Really absurd price, unthinkable not to buy it. The focal excursion is absurd, you get to 400mm equiv. with not even 150 euros. Too bad the lampshade is not included. Optically it is remarkable and NOT VA CONCENT, with the previous version NOT STM, here we are on another level. (Good quality at TA, excellent closing a stop, a slight drop only to 250). Noteworthy is the really impressive stabilization. Featherweight. Irrelevant the plastic bayonet, never broken one in 15 years of photography.

canon_efs_17-55_f2-8Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM

Pros: Brightness - Stabilizer - Optical Quality - Focal Extension

Cons: Weight - Build Quality

Opinion: It is a really remarkable optics, paid new just over 700 euros. I start right away with the real flaw. The construction is not up to what you pay, it is not possible for the lens to soften after a few months of use, descending from itself down. Dear canon I do not understand the absurd choice not to put the lampshade to the whole (which scratches to look at it), but above all I do not understand the crazy choice not to put a block of the zoom extension. Well after the salty we move to the dessert, I tell you immediately that using a simple UV filter, will not enter a grain of powder to the whole (certainly a sheath between body and lens you could even put) - make sure to use filters of the highest quality (I recommend the protects of Canon). Coming to optical quality, it's a lens that can safely solve all 24 Megapixels of your beloved canon aps-c. Surely what you saved on the body has not been spared on optical quality. The lens is sharp from the center to the edges even at full opening, the chromatic aberrations are very contained, the distortion slight and self-correct in the room (or easily correlated in posts with slow profiles). Today it is used at ridiculous prices, don't let it get away and literally throw your 18-55 or 18-135, here we are on another level. Not bad the focal excursion 27-88mm equivalent, but especially Constant F2.8. Nothing like this exists in full frame. Notable is the presence of stabilizer, although not at the level of the most modern. Lens definitely recommended, too bad it's a maximum weight of aps-c!

tokina_11-20_f2-8Tokina AT-X 11-20mm f/2.8 PRO DX

Pros: Brightness - Focus Excursion - Build Quality

Cons: It has no real cons, perhaps the absence of stabilizer, but serves little on a wide-angle

Opinion: I had the pleasure of owning this wonderful lens. Let's start with THE CONSTRUCTION, it looks like a small compact hard plastic cylinder like a tank, remarkable the quality of the plastics and controls of zoom and rubber focus. The lens does not extend when zooming. The lampshade is grafted with an anti-atomic mechanism. The lens also supports 82mm screw filters, which you want to tell them. It should be noted the presence of ghieres that make the lens tropicalized (even between room and lens). As for the AUTOFOCUS, it works quietly and quite well-performing, although it is not a native canon lens, really remarkable (certainly we talk about a wide angle on aps-c the depth of field helps a lot, but also at 20mm 2.8 (32mm equiv.), i've never had a problem with it. An audible hair, but nothing serious. It has the window for fire distances (never used, I prefer to use 10x zoom in live view). Nothing serious about the switching system, which I like and gives this brand its character. For the image quality is really remarkable, impressive sharpness, with 24-megapixel room, good at the edges at full opening, fantastic to central diaphragms. Marked the distortion to 11mm (as it is obvious it is), easily rerunable in posts with slow profile on lightroom. Personally I made some of my best photos, also ideal for astrophotography (we say it is the only real lens available for aps-c canon). I would add that it can be successfully mounted on full frame, using it from 14mm up. Nothing serious about the management of the flare, from serious problems only shooting in contrasting scenes against light, causing you to lose definition to what is in the shade. Let's say you either choose another angle or you give up taking the photo, but you'll get it once in 1000 photos. Buy this masterpiece and forget about the 10 22 canons or worse still the 10-18 dark as the night.

canon_80dCanon 80D

Pros: Handling and ease of use canon unparalleled good high yield ISO (a half stop behind the top APS-c Sony and Nikon) excellent dynamic range at ISO 100 (even higher than some full frame es. 6d Mark II) dual pixel focusing system, unmatched in excellent video co Of the PT. of focus, and sensitivity in low light. Exceptional Precision Autofocus (other than Sony Alpha 7) Excellent battery life.

Cons: Unexplained lack of focus peaking absence of 4k (for me irrelevant) autofocus Tracking not up to par for sports use

Opinion: I shoot for 9 years with an Eos 550d, then it's time to take a nice step forward, I had initially thought to full frame, but considering the costs of optics and seeing the surprising evolution of APS-C sensors I decided to invest again in APS-C. After a few months of use I can affirm without doubt that the room is something exceptional, does not fear any competitor, perfect even as a second camera body for professionals (as long as they do not exclusively sports photos). Many evaluate only the technical characteristics, forgetting what is more important, the daily use. The machine is comfortable, well studied fruit of years of experience, does not touch, lasts so much without downloading, excels in nothing but has no real flaws. I was surprised at the high ISO yield, roughly a stop behind the full frame of Canon House. The autofocus is very precise and covers a large area. The dualpixel does not fear rivals. Comfortable the double ring and the ability to integrate the selection of fire on the controller (I do not understand why they did not put the joystick, but does not change anything). By day it has an excellent dynamic range, and noise at high ISO is easily workable in post production. Already excellent JPEG files in the room. In conclusion It is a room that works well, and when you use it you can only focus on photographs and not having to quarrel with the room settings (we want to talk about the interface of certain Fujifilm type X-Es2? Or that of the Sony a6000?) The association with quality optics is essential, my choice fell on:-canon 17 55 f 2.8 IS USM-Canon 24 f 2.8 STM-Canon 50 F 1.8 stm-canon 55-250 f4-5.6 STM-Helios 44-2 58mm F2
