The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Samyang AF 14mm f/2.8 Pros: Good construction, good yield, great in relation to the price Cons: a bit bulky, but a 14 mm FF can certainly not be compact. Opinion: Bought to replace the Samyang MF of the same focal length, which had suffered a serious injury (ended up on the ground with serious damage to the hood and the front lens). The yield is very good, the distortion, sensitive but acceptable for the type of lens, is less annoying than the "mustache" of the Sammy MF, however easily manageable in PP. The AF works well, the flare, considering that with a 14 mm it is difficult not to stick the sun inside the frame, is acceptable. If you love wide angles pushed and you know how to manage perspective aberrations, it is a really tasty lens. sent on April 16, 2023 |
 | Sony NEX F3 Pros: Very small luminaire in size. Excellent sensor yield. Many lenses available, including Sony originals and third parties. Cons: The lack of viewfinder, in certain light conditions, is really annoying and forces you to shoot practically blindly Opinion: I bought this used car in 2023, paying it 90 €, including the 18-55 lens, so the considerations must be made taking into account these aspects. I needed a "spare wheel" for my A7II that would allow me to mount all Sony E lenses. The 16 megapixel sensor performs well, at least up to 3200 ISO, besides I try not to go. The focus is quite responsive, despite the camera being technically outdated. I also tried it with several recent FE lenses and it does not show problems, perhaps just a little slow to focus with the 70-300 Tamron, but given the device, very small and not stabilized, I think I will hardly use it with this lens. The biggest limitation is the lack of viewfinder, because in bright light, it can be very difficult to see something in the display. The battery, the same as other ML Sony APSC and also the first series of A7, is small, but all in all, given the lack of viewfinder, which consumes a lot, it is more than acceptable. With my A7II I have never been able to make an output with a battery, but I have always had to mount the second, and sometimes even the third, with this Nex I can go home without changing battery. The menus are the usual Sony ones, cumbersome and quite uncomfortable, but since I'm already used to it, it was not a trauma for me. sent on April 16, 2023 |
 | Tamron 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD Pros: very compact. Very good yield. Cons: Upgrading FW only through the purchase of a dock (if I understand correctly) Opinion: I waited for it to drop in price and took it to just over 400€ with European guarantee. Lightweight lens (plastic but good quality), brightness not sensational, but with ultraluminous lenses you can navigate on very different sizes (and very different prices). Not generally doing avifauna, but details of landscapes and architectures, the large apertures of diaphragm are not important to me, so I'm fine. At 300 mm it stretches a lot, practically doubles the length, but does not give the impression of "disassembling". It has no buttons and controls, so the focus settings must be done from the machine menu. I remember that the lens is not equipped with stabilizer, but uses (if it exists) that of the machine, but to demand a stabilized optics at this price would seem to me really too much. The focus is quick, quiet and precise, without hesitation. I have not yet done the usual tests at all the diaphragms, but I only tried it in the field: it seemed sharp in all situations, with a nice saturation of colors. Tested on Sony A7II. The only negative note is the firmware update, which I understand is only possible by purchasing a dock station. I already have that Samyang, I wouldn't want to make the collection. But is it possible that you can not provide a usb port on the lens, or the possibility of updating from the machine, as it happens with native optics? sent on July 09, 2021 |
 | AmazonBasics - Borsa media per fotocamera e accessori Pros: Light, well made and cheap. The materials look durable, sympathetic to the orange interior. Cons: The only flaw is the infamous "squeak" of the shoulder hinges. Opinion: It's an excellent bag, well padded, and that you notice little: sometimes it can be unwise to turn with a precious looking bag, with maybe stuck over the high-sounding name of some important photographic brand, while, so, black and a little anonymous, can suggest a container of working tools. sent on July 01, 2020 |
 | Patona NP-FW50 Pros: Results absolutely identical to the original, even at a distance of time, price considerably lower. Cons: Nobody. Opinion: I took the package with two premium batteries (black with green writing) and the battery charger. I'm using them on Sony A7II. Due to the poor battery life on this machine, it is necessary to equip yourself with at least a couple of spare batteries, in addition, since the standard battery charger works only connected to the machine, a "real" battery charger is indispensable. sent on July 01, 2020 |
 | Pentax K10D Pros: robust construction tropicalization Cons: Slow and inefficient AF rendered not good at high ISO Opinion: It was my first DSLR, bought consciously at the balance price, when it was already out of production. I don't consider the 10-megapixel sensor, the lack of live views and other aspects that only testify to the age of the machine. The AF is certainly the most deficient aspect, although compared to that of other machines of the same era. Buying it today makes sense whether it's taken as a mule or to use the multitude of Pentax MF optics that are around. sent on June 21, 2020 |
 | Zeiss Jena Flektogon 20mm f/4 Zebra Pros: absence of distortions Cons: "ancient" anti-reflective treatment, inefficient possible mating problems with sensors, if the adapter ring transmits reflections Opinion: It's a lens that I've used for many years with my film Topcons, with which he has always behaved well. In particular, in architectural photos, it has never exhibited distortions of straight lines, which is common for these focal points. I put it to rest with dSLRs, because for draft reasons it was unusable, I "resurrected" it with the ML (Sony A7II). It is critical the choice of the ring, which must absolutely avoid reflections inside (finishing strictly more than opaque), worth the destruction of the detail, especially at the edges, if it does not diaphragm abundantly (11-16). Found the right ring, I managed to use it correctly, keeping in mind the limitations: it is a dated lens, with an ineffective anti-reflective treatment, which causes a lot of flare in the backlights, designed in an era when the photos were essentially in B&Amp;A N, its color yield is a bit unbalanced on the "hot", when compared with more modern optics, but nothing that can not be fixed in PP. Being an optic that I already had in the house, I consider myself satisfied, but if I had to buy it on purpose at 2-300 euros (price at which I see it often offered), maybe I would have let it go, and maybe I would have taken something recently cheap, like Samyang. sent on January 07, 2020 |
 | Samyang FE 35mm f/2.8 AF Pros: Great performance, amazing if you refer to the price. Featherweight and compact size. Cons: Ability to upgrade the FW only via dock, sold separately at 60 euros. Opinion: Taken to have a compact lens to mount on my A7II, for "light" outputs, without having to load the heavy duffel bag. Optical yield really great, considering the price (240 euros) and the light construction (plastic leg), although accurate. The brightness of 2.8, is acceptable for almost all situations, the focus works regularly, let's say that once mounted you want to leave it fixed. The alternative, except for the ultraluminous and bulky 35, is the 35 2.8 Zeiss, which does pretty much the same job, but costs three times. The only small defect I found using AFC: the A7II, if set to AFC, with diaphragm f 9 or more closed, passes in AFS on the central point, then with the original optics disappear the "squares" in continuous movement and the fixed center square appears. With the 35 2.8 Samyang, the same happens but the lens does not find the point of fire and the engine continues to go back and forth. If I use it on AFS, it focuses perfectly. The inconvenience should be possible by updating the FW, from what I have read in the documentation, but to do this you have to buy the dock, which more or less is a "cap" retro lens with a usb port, sold at the nice figure of 60 euros, since I have no other Samyang lenses , and the problem is marginal, I decided to keep it that way. sent on January 02, 2020 |
 | Samyang 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC Aspherical Pros: Excellent yield with a very low priced construction accurate and robust Cons: Heavy and cumbersome, especially my version (Sony and mount) that pays the increase in weight and size due to adaptation from Reflex (native) to ML Opinion: Lens taken on Amazon Warehouse and paid about half the normal price, 5 year Fowa warranty and pretty much perfect. The yield a little "moscia" at full aperture already improves to 4 and 5.6 is excellent. The "whisker" distortion is quite flashy but correctable in a moment in PP, however it can be annoying only in architecture, but you notice little or nothing in panoramas and street. The focus is not easy because given the focal length very short, it always looks all in focus, so you have to work at aperture all open, helping with peakng focus and magnification and go back and forth looking for the maximum sharpness point. The focus is not calibrated perfectly, in my case the distant subjects go to kelp enough before the infinity, it is not serious, it would be much worse the opposite. I am undecided whether to keep it so, in the end, given the enormous depth of field, it is not so important to fix it, calibrate it from me, since I found a tutorial on the net, but risking to invalidate the warranty, or send it in Fowa. However it is a very nice, creative, good performance and well done object. sent on May 23, 2019 |
 | Pentax K-50 Pros: Good quality general species if compared to the price of competition-possibility of correction of front/back focus on objectives-tropicalization Cons: Autofocus deficient although improved compared to older models-the problem of "dark photos" Opinion: I had for ten years a Pentax APSC outfit, before the K10 then, when this was beginning to be "old lady" I added the K50. Generally Satisfied with the quality of the machine and the zoom kit, not bad even the high ISO yield, at least in relation to the class of the machine and the date of the exit. The AF, however improved compared to that of the K10 (it needed little), in the most critical situations is slow and inaccurate. Very useful calibration for individual AF lenses to eliminate front back focus problems. Unfortunately after about two and a half years there was the notorious problem of "dark photos": The magnet that controls the diaphragm crashes and the machine always snaps to the minimum closure. Problem that occurred first sporadically, then with a total block. Brought to repair it worked for a few months then the defect reintroduced, repaired a second time, put away and sold any kit. Too bad. sent on March 21, 2019 |
 | Sony FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Pros: lightweight - precise operation despite economic construction Cons: dimly - made modest at the edges and with open diaphragms Opinion: I make a premise: each object must be evaluated on the basis of cost. The 28-70 Sony is the classic kit lens, cheap and plastic. If you demand better results, also in Sony House, there are the 24-70 f 4 Zeiss and the 24-70 f 2.8, the first travels from the part of the 800 euros, the second passes the 2000. To think that an opticthat that you buy in kit often costs less than 150 euros, can compete with the other two, is utopian. Buying it by purpose, paying 300 euros, does not seem like a good idea, but if as in my case it is almost given to you in the kit, it can come in handy, as an all-rounder in less demanding situations, or as a spare wheel if you have the "good" lens in service. The first impact is a bit disconcerting: very light, to the point that the A7 II is slightly unbalanced towards the back. However, the operation is precise, without games and mechanical indecisions. It's a "smart" lens, because in the middle the resolution is always more than acceptable, so the photos give the impression of good sharpness, but then you look at the edge at full opening and understand why it is cheap. The ideal would be to use it a little diaphragm, which is not always possible, given the not exceptional brightness. The maximum variable brightness with the focal is not pleasant, but it is the price to pay to reduce weight and size. It is not without distortions but these are always lurking with zooms, even the most expensive ones, you can always intervene in post production or, if you often take photos of architecture, better take a fixed wide angle. The backlit behavior is not bad. Considering the lower magnification required by the FF sensor, the quality at the top is certainly not noticeable less than in APSC devices. EDIT: Rereading the other reviews I thought a little bit. It is clear that this is not a memorable optics, but the difference in judgments, between those who find it acceptable (like me), and those who consider it unwatchable is strange. In particular I was impressed by the review of a person who at 28 mm finds the full opening yield better than at 8, when absolutely the opposite happens to me. I have no reason to doubt the veracity of this person's claim, as I am absolutely certain that MY exemplary behaves in the opposite way. At this point I begin to think that the tolerances of optical fabrication are a little too "tolerant", and that someone "comes out well" and others "come out bad", this would explain many things. sent on March 20, 2019 |
