 | TTArtisan APS-C 23mm f/1.4 Pros: Sharp enough even at full opening, versatile (small minimum focus distance), excellent manual focus (smooth and well dumped), only metal and glass, reliable and solid as a tank. Cons: None at this price/quality ratio Opinion: The focal length is very versatile, as well as the minimum focus distance. Nice bokeh, so it is even suitable for portraits that need a large and blurred environment. Suitable for low light situations. A prime lens that could be weld on the mount flange. For this focal length no need for autofocus, so the major drawback, the lack of AF, could be in turn an advantage. sent on January 11, 2023 |
 | TTArtisan APS-C 50mm f/1.2 Pros: - light for F/1.2 - very good optics and mechanics - very good quality/price - central sharpness even at F/1.2 (at this aperture it is the central area you need to be sharp) - very nice colors - solid as a tank Cons: - some CA at large apertures, but this is quite common even for very expensive lenses - some flares working backlight - total lack of electronic link with the camera, so no exif data for further reference (in fact is only about the aperture value that lacks, for the other info as lens info normally you should be able to make an workaround via a custom lens in the camera's menu Opinion: Working with very large apertures, as 1.2, you really need manual focus, so the lack of AF is not a real drawback. It is made only in metal and glass, so solid as a tank; you can enjoy the full control of the lens. Natural and bright colors. Nice and calm enough bokeh. Smooth and well balanced as length of the manual focus travel. Quiet clicked aperture change (at 1/2 stop) Very good optics and mechanics Very good quality/price Central sharpness even at F/1.2 (what is needed in fact at large apertures) Good sharpness overall starting with F5.6 Nice aesthetics Some chromatic aberrations Some flares working backlight sent on February 15, 2022 |
 | Fujifilm XF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 R LM OIS WR Pros: Quite portable, decent resolution, weather sealing, close up capability. Cons: The zoom ring is quite stiff on rotation, noisy and shaking when switch off or change from shooting to play, expensive in comparison with the competition on the same segment quality/price; I experienced several strange moments when suddenly refused to focus. Opinion: Its zoom range is welcomed and is filling a gap in the Fuji chain of lenses. I like the weather sealing and its close up capabilities, the resolution is decent, but not extraordinary. It is also nice that it accepts teleconverters and, at least with the 1.4x version, a decent prolongation can be achieved. I made a comparison, on the same body, with the Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3 VR and the sharpness is more or less the same, but the price of the Nikon is more than 3x lower. The main advantage of Fuji in this comparison is the weather sealing, acceptance of teleconverters and it seems, the lack of focus breathing. sent on June 12, 2021 |
 | Fujifilm X-S10 Pros: In body stabilisation-IBIS, grip, quality of the image Cons: The lack of mechanical dials on top, impossibility to compensate exposure in manual mode, much less ergonomics in comparison with x-t20 for instance, excepting grip., mediocre lcd screen. Opinion: I came to x-s10 from x-t20 and I am quite disappointed. The lack of mechanical buttons on top, impossibility to compensate exposure in manual mode, the much less ergonomics in comparison with x-t20 are important drawbacks. The grip is much better in comparison with the one of x-t20, but far from being very effective. With good technique, the IBIS allows you to shoot with 1/4 seconds, with a normal lens, but this is the limit. The mediocre lcd is another issue. If you don't shoot with unstabilized lenses, stay on X-TXX series. sent on April 24, 2021 |
 | Nikon AF 28-85mm f/3.5-4.5 Pros: Colors rendition, contrast because of pure glass inside; good sharpness and zoom range, cheap. Cons: It is not very luminous Opinion: I use it mainly MF on a Fuji xf with adapter. It is a pleasure to work with such combination. The so called macro (1:3.4) is quite useful too. Because of pure glass inside it is able to render a very nice 3D effect, as many old lenses, in comparison with many modern plastic lenses that are inside of objectives. It is very good too for portraiture works. sent on April 18, 2021 |

 | Tamron 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5 Di II VC HLD Pros: Solid, all weather, accepts filters (many super-wides hardly accepts or even does not), rapid AF, easy and confortable use of MF, sharp Cons: None, at least until now Opinion: Very good zoom range for street, indoor and landscape photography. For such super-wide angle produces low distorsion, quite well fixed by processing.It has close up capability for the end excursion of the zoom range. Bright enough, but could be better, especially for night and astro-photography use. Looks and feel solid, but the hood is loose. On Nikon D7200 it is rapid and reliable AF. Color rendition is quite natural, but as for the vast majority of modern lenses that has a lot of optic elements, the ability to reproduce the 3D reality of scenes is quite limited. Score 9.3/10. sent on November 04, 2018 |
