ricoh_gr_iii_xRicoh GR IIIx

Pros: Construction, image quality, optical quality, color rendering, maximum quality in black and white conversions, portability and immediacy of use.

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: I state that I have always had a weakness for all the GR, I did not have the series I then the series II. And I've always found them exceptional. With the IIIx they have finally placed a focal length (40 mm equivalent) that makes it absolutely versatile. The GR those who know it know that it is a unique machine, there is nothing similar on the market, and obviously it must be used and appreciated for what it can offer. In my opinion it is the perfect photo camera... that? Because it is pocket-sized, immediate and of the highest quality. It fits in our pockets, like a mobile phone and often having such a camera always at hand allows us to capture every interesting moment we see (a bit like what happens with smartphones). As for the technical / constructive side, well, magnesium body with very rational controls and menus, you can perceive that it was designed by those who take photographs. On the chromatic part and BN conversions, hats off, as always Ricoh is placed at top levels. On BN conversions I personally haven't found anything that comes close yet. In my opinion a car absolutely to have.

leica_q2Leica Q2

Pros: Optical quality, file quality, raw output in DNG, build quality, certified tropicalization, design, ease of use, simplicity of menus and controls, stabilizer

Cons: I'd say nothing, maybe for the more demanding a little extra buffer.

Opinion: I bought it as a replacement for the already excellent Q, who made 80k shots without ever missing a beat. What to say, the Q2 is the exact refinement of the Q. The improvements are there and they are not cheap, the new sensor is stratospheric, both as a detail and as a color rendering that in my opinion remains unsurpassed, no digital makes so (this also applies to the Q). The lens, which is the same as the previous version, continues to be an absolute excellence. Tropicalization, exceptionally, should be the school for many other manufacturers. The stabilizer also works great and is in many cases very useful. Long story short, the Q and especially the Q2 is arguably the best camera I've ever used. The price, which in absolute value is high, in my opinion is justified by the fact that with 5k euros you take a full frame body with in front of a summilux optics of the highest level. Doing two counts is however in line with other brands (for example it would be the same amount that you spend on a 7rIV with 24 1.4 GM) with the difference that the quality and the Leica yield in my opinion are insurmountable and unmistakable (who owns it I'm sure will understand what and I say).

voigtlander_e40_f1-2Voigtlander 40mm f/1.2 Nokton

Pros: Super bright, characteristic bokeh, excellent definition even at 1.2, electronic chips that transmit the shooting data, exemplary construction, precision of the ferrules, size and weight content, focal all-rounder.

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: A truly remarkable lens. The yield is very characteristic, in the style of Voigtlander but correct in the most classic optical defects. You immediately notice that it is a lens optimized for Sony. The use is very pleasant and not complicated, the focus manual is not at all a problem with the magnification in the viewfinder. Attached to the Sony is a hoot, it is as big as a 50 approximately 1.8 and carries around almost without realizing it. I can not take it off anymore !!! :)

sigma_sd_quattroSigma SD Quattro

Pros: Colors, detail, black and white, tropicalized body with a very good ergonomics

Cons: Slow, not fit for everything

Opinion: The SD four is a very high quality car. It only pays to be very special. It is not an instrument that is not suitable for all kinds of photography. It is unbeatable when we talk about color and black and white detail in the sense that it returns a similar response to film, color, but also black and white. used with film philosophy, or a few clicks and reasoning, will become a machine you can not give up, especially for sensor yield. Another point in favor is the ability to shoot in DNG. However, do not expect a commercial mirror type like fuji or sony, the SD 4 is very slow, both as AF and as a save time on the file, and it also suffers big elevations more than a normal car. From my point of view, with the SD four I do unique things that I could not do with any other digital ... but for other things I still need the old and good reflex FF.rnThe use combined with the sigmat 18-35 1.8, a gorgeous lens that allows me to travel with body and optics without giving up a good range of focals and brightness 1.8.

olympus_omd_em1_iiOlympus OM-D E-M1 II

Pros: image quality, speed, AF, weather sealing, ergonomics, dual card

Cons: nobody

Opinion: The M1 II is the improvement in the round the old versione.rnE 'mirrorless a very fast and reliable, the feeling of use is very similar to that which has challenged a professionale.rnLa SLR image quality has improved, albeit in sensitive , 64 iso (LOW) are immaculate and also allow significant recoveries and i think the performance at high ISO are improved. Great improvement of the AF system and operations in general. rnIl price at a first glance might seem exaggerated, but working on it you realize that it is actually in line with the rest ... we are talking about the flagship Olympus.rnE 'a professional machine from all points of view ... really good! rn

olympus_25_f1-2proOlympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 25mm f/1.2 Pro

Pros: optical quality, build quality, flawless performance at every aperture, bokeh, af

Cons: Weight, size and price

Opinion: A view that surely ranks among the top lens of the 4/3 system. absolute quality without compromise, both for the construction (tropicalized) that for the yield. It 'a blade already at 1.2 combined with a very fast and accurate AF even at 1.2 ... do not miss a foto.rnI against mainly concern the size and weight. Compared to optical reflex it is still relatively small and light, but for the 4/3 system starts to become important perspective. Then the price ... despite being a stratospheric slow, I think that money is really too much (it costs more than any other 50 surpassing even for optical full frame) .rnLo advice to those who want quality without compromise. It 'a lens that leaves you speechless.

olympus_mzuiko_75_f1-8Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 75mm f/1.8

Pros: Sharpness, even at full aperture, bokeh, construction, very balanced color rendering

Cons: Perhaps weight and size to be a MFT lens for the rest nothing else.

Opinion: One of the best lenses for the MFT system ... must have at borsa.rnProduce images with a blurred and dividend plans worthy of the best full frame. rnI tones are very delicate and balanced and the focus I think is the highest livelli.rnUna lens High quality at an affordable price in relation to what it offers.

canon_16-35_v2Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8 L USM II

Pros: Focal range and aperture 2.8

Cons: Total yield, poor sharpness especially at the edges, not af precise.

Opinion: I think it is, in my opinion, among the worst Canon lenses. To be a wide optical flaw in many important aspects mainly on clarity and consistency of the same clarity on the frame. Perhaps retains a certain decency in photojournalism, but otherwise in my opinion not worth what it costs. I hope for a version III arranged for the type of optics is very interesting!

canon_ef35_f1-4_iiCanon EF 35mm f/1.4L USM II

Pros: Exceptional sharpness even at full aperture, image quality and three-dimensional, color, precision autofocus.

Cons: nobody

Opinion: In short, the best 35 I've ever avuto.rnNitido and sharp even at 1.4, with a creamy and mild blurred photos ... returns with an atmosphere and a communicative language unico.rnTutto joined a fast autofocus but also very precise ... contrary to what usually happens with optical bright, even at this 1.4 does not make a wrong, both short distances to long. Really incredible perspective coast ... a blunder, but I can safely say that they vale.rn

leica_qLeica Q (Typ 116)

Pros: AF speed and accuracy by reflex, EVF among the finest on the market, made in color and black and white "leica style", bright lens and of the highest quality, compact body and discreet (to be a full frame), electronic shutter up to 1 / 16,000 that lets you use the 1.7 aperture even in bright sunlight.

Cons: None but trifles solved with a firmware upgrade.

Opinion: A unique machine with unique requirements. The only full frame compact with 28 mm and EVF integrated. I am really amazed by the quality and finesse that encloses the Leica Q.rnCi are few words to spend all boils down to: absolute quality. The cost is high, but considering riding a 28 Summilux 1.7 we can also stare.rnPer all I care is the top.

nikon_180_f2-8dNikon AF 180mm f/2.8 D ED IF

Pros: Sharpness, colors, construction, low weight

Cons: No one but the af which probably is not suitable for use where you need extreme speed.

Opinion: Wonderful perspective. Sharpness at the top also in TA, soft colors and pastel colors, excellent bokeh. I think it is a must to have a view on the stock exchange ... also considered as being good value for money (is used from 350 to 400 €) .rnAltra positive note concerns the construction old style Nikon that sense of robustness combined with the presence of comfortable hood integrato.rnPer me a full 10!

ricoh_grRicoh GR

Pros: All Over

Cons: No One

Opinion: Machine in my opinion perfect. Size pocket and made superlative. Perfect for street and reportage. Good operating speed and raw files and jpeg really excellent. A note is absolutely positive the preparation of files for the black and white ... the file lends itself to perfection and conversions are obtained rich in shades of gray. Highly recommended for me!

sigma_50_f1-4artSigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art

Pros: Sharpness at all openings, construction, color rendering, blurred.

Cons: Weight / size, need for calibration with usb dock.

Opinion: Objective of the highest quality, both constructive perspective. And 'crystal clear at all apertures and color rendering is very pleasant and balanced. Excellent also the sfocato.rnL'af works very well ... is fast and accurate, only note that requires calibration with a special dock (I highly recommend the purchase of this instrument). I had a constant back focus at all distances, with the dock I solved everything in 5 minutes. Now is perfect.

leica_x2Leica X2

Pros: Image quality, optical quality, design, compactness, weight, build quality

Cons: Overall speed, AF speed, screen resolution

Opinion: The Leica X2, like every Leica is a machine of the highest quality but at the same time very particular ... I was amazed by the optical quality dell'elmarit 24 / 2.8, which has a color rendering index and a three-dimensional worthy of the best Leica lenses and far better than that of my SLR Nikon.rnDa top marks also the build quality and design. All very simple and functional. Same for the usability of the camera has the essential functions and nothing more. The AF system is sufficient but still slow compared to the competition, the same as the machine in general. The general opinion is absolutely positive! A car is a must have ...
