Reviews of cameras, lenses, tripods, heads and other accessories written by Antonio Baldacci

The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator.

Nikon F2

Pros: The best 35mm mechanical camera in the world.

Cons: Slightly heavier and bulkier than FM/FM2. But it has the interchangeable sight.

Opinion: Nikon was able to improve the excellent F, creating an excellent mechanical machine. Almost indestructible, shutter with pure titanium tendon, precise and reliable. Ability to change focus screens and crosshairs. Motorzatable. Even today it is pure pleasure to photograph with this excellence, it does not go unnoticed... Of course it's not usable by everyone. Manual focus and exposure.

Tamron SP 500 f/8.0 Model 55B

Pros: Light and compact for a 500 mm. Exceptional macro-contrast.

Cons: It is appropriate to use it with its supplied telescopic lampshade.

Opinion: I use it willingly when I need a long focal and want to stay light. The minimum focus distance is good for the focal. Very pleasant to use, of course for static subjects. For those on the move, not being AF, it is not very suitable. Well-made optics, all made of metal. Very particular and pleasant blur on the highlights, with beautiful rings. Recommended for those who have no difficulty in focusing manually.

Nikon AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 ED D

Pros: Light and compact. Presence of the ring of diaphragms and therefore usable even on older machines.

Cons: Slight drop in focal maximum wing sharpness.

Opinion: Fantastic optics, very practical for use in the mountains and on excursions, as it occupies little place in the backpack. I find it better than, at the still excellent, Sigma APO 75-300.Recommended to owners of machines with built-in AF engine. A smaller minimum focus would be welcome, but you can't have it all... The nine-bladed diaphragm ensures a pleasant blur.
