![]() | Nikon Z50 II Pros: Compact, weight, buttons, responsive AF Cons: Lack of stabilization, mechanical shutter, lack of sensor protection curtain when the machine is off Opinion: Taken to have an APSC to accompany the Z8 and to be exploited for itinerant birdlife with the Nikon Z 400mm f/4.5 or the Nikon Z 600mm f/6.3 and the two Nikon Z TC 1.4 and 2.0. Tired of waiting for the heir to the legendary D500 that I had and exploited with satisfaction, looking at the characteristics of this little one I realized that, although not an heir to the D500, it had similar if not better characteristics. The burst of 11 frames per second exceeds that of the D500, the AF with its various modes and subject recognition is for me more responsive and easier to manage. The number of buttons and dials all customizable, the Nikon menus practically the same as the Z8, the tropicalization. Finally, the limited weight that with the two fixed canvases mentioned make it a killer combo for itinerant photographic hunting. In short, I am very satisfied with it and I am quickly getting the hang of it. For the battery, mainly using the viewfinder, I set the Priority settings to viewfinder 1, so that when I don't have my eye in front of the sensor the same (energy-intensive) is off: with a battery and moderate bursts of 2/3 shots, I took home more than 500 shots before a recharge, added to the time used for the settings in the menus and the predisposition of the three user banks I would say that they give me an excellent result. Having taken a second original battery, his duty will do it to my great satisfaction. I specify that the technical sheet contains errors: - Long exposure : it exists, the time is adjustable up to 9000s (15min), activating the selection from the menu - Pixel Shift : it is present (which makes me suppose that the IBIS is also present, otherwise how could it work ?). Its presence forces the use of NX Studio, but allows you to have wide-angle lenses starting from FX - Focus Staking lenses: present and adjustable exactly like on the Z8 It will remain in my kit until the presentation of a Z80 / Z500, then it will become the ML school for the granddaughter. sent on October 19, 2025 |
![]() | Sigma 180mm Macro f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Pros: Sharpness Cons: Hood, weight Opinion: I have owned it for three years and it has given me satisfaction, also combined with the TC 2 Sigma that allowed me to shoot insects without entering their space. Taken used equal to the new by a friend, I must say that it did not disappoint me, even if there are sharper macros, its focal length allows it to be used at a distance for insects, generally more suspicious. Very good the blurred. The AF, has some hesitation and in macro always preferable to work in manual; combined with the TC 2 Sigma did not disappoint me as I feared, although a loss of sharpness is noticeable. On D810 with BG I often worked freehand without problems but, given the weight, for non-prolonged periods. sent on October 09, 2021 |
![]() | Venus Laowa 100mm f/2.8 2X Ultra Macro APO Pros: Optical quality, low weight and footprint, price Cons: Not exactly precise focus, obliges the use of micrometric sled Opinion: Taken with the money of a return when I was looking for an Irix DragonFly 150mm that remains on my bucket list; I am satisfied with the yield but absolutely not happy with its focus that forces me to stand and micrometric sled even for single shots otherwise I am wrong too many :) The weight is low and entices you to carry it always with you, but then you have to take the accessory weights of the easel (often I ride with the Sirui AM-223 that is enough for the ground photos) and the sled (I use a NiSi) so the overall weight rises, it does not reach that of the SIGMA 180 f/2.8, but in short. sent on May 09, 2021 |
![]() | Nikon AF-S 300mm f/4 D ED Pros: Optical output, minimum distance of MAF, price, Lens hood Integrated Cons: Collar Opinion: Taken used for a couple of years, real occasion due to the fear of failures of the previous owner's AF that he had heard some whistle, I use it regularly without any problem. My favorite optics for butterflies and close-up flowers, often freehand even if it is VR-free, but the weight contained, using the machine with the BG, allows such use. With the TC1, 4 performs well, even if the AF becomes less responsive and the use of the limiter becomes almost obligated. In general a lens to have in the kit given the excellent price-performance ratio in the used; Council, to those who can, to replace the collar with an ad-hoc third party.

![]() | Nikon PC-E 45mm f/2.8 D ED Pros: Construction, sharpness, possibilities Cons: at the moment no Opinion: Large lens, a small view camera to take with you. Bought used in excellent condition 900 € (very rare to find them), and immediately felt on the field is a lens that requires concentration and time to get results. Shooting the fly must not forget, everything must be reasoned and performed as a ritual, but the result does not disappoint. The possibility of arriving at a 1: 2 magnification combined with the tilting offer creative possibilities in unexpected close-up. Decentralization in architectural photos performs miracles for cadenti.rnLente bright lines, with no or very low distortion, very well designed with three movements offered, shame about the tilt and decentralization are rigidly orthogonal to each other and you can not combine otherwise: the creative possibilities would have been infiniternrnAlessandrorn sent on February 23, 2017 |
![]() | Nikon SB-700 AF Speedlight Pros: Lightweight, powerful, reliable, good materials and construction Cons: becomes slow in charging with tight shots, some settings are not intuitive, not practical case Opinion: Bought it used I opened up a world of additional possibilities in the light management; combined with a pair of cheap trigger I bypassed the intrinsic difficulty of the CLS command especially in daylight or with obstacles. irrational and useless rnTrovo the choice to put the loop for the belt on the edge of the housing, which forces me to keep it in your backpack or borsa.rnLa battery life is sufficient, good if used at low power as I often do especially during the day and when used in covered focal manuale.rnLe suffice: it does not reach 200mm but using triggers or CLS is sopperisce.rnVale the money that I paid for and more, I'm thinking of a second flash abbinargli sent on June 05, 2016 |
![]() | Manfrotto 804 RC2 Pros: Robustness, materials, price Cons: Adjustments for non-simple Opinion: I possess for three years and I was always good, needs a good ride, but we're fine on the 055 and the locking system prevents inadvertent head is sganci.rnIl weight is not excessive and the flow is good, l ' only fault I find is the fact that lack of clutch for easy regolazione.rnAl proposed price is a good buy sent on May 21, 2016 |
![]() | Manfrotto MT 055 CX PRO3 Pros: Stability, robustness, reclining column Cons: standard equipment, adhesives Opinion: Certainly stand up to the price; I own it for over a year and a half and has served me faithfully everywhere, in the snow, as the sea or immersed in the streams without a piega.rnTrovo ridiculous standard that does not even include a strap or carrying bag (purchased separately ) nor the spikes. Moreover the stickers are an extremely low quality and if handled the long trestle get ruined in no time. Not jeopardizing the usability of the product, but given its price expected something better achieved and at least plasticized sent on February 02, 2016 |
![]() | Nikon 300mm f/4 AF-IF ED Pros: sharp, excellent workmanship Cons: weight, cost filters Opinion: For my use a great goal. The AF managed with integrated limiter and do not forget to "M" selector, is sufficient even in AF-C with the tracking. The length and the masses at the ends make the critical choice of the easel abbinargli. I owe my not extend to the maximum penalty vibrations moved in step with even less time. rnPreso used to 400 € complete with all accessories except the box, really like new like condition, it was a great affarern sent on May 04, 2014 |
![]() | Nikon D5100 Pros: lightweight, good sensor Cons: not tropical, check in menu Opinion: A great car for a beginner (after years of absence from the 35mm, I'm back with this machine). rnConsente great shots and even under preset modes gets along very well. When the bag then you start to fill goals and accessories, the light loses its value and feels the lack of more controls on the camera body to not waste time in the menu, as well as the lack of protection to moisture, dust, heat and cold are more serious regret bodies (D300?) rnL'ho socket for the adjustable viewfinder, then I only used a couple of good volte.rnInsomma to start / restart, but in my opinion shows the limitations when trying to exploit it fully. sent on October 11, 2012 |
