The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | TTArtisan AF 27mm f/2.8 Pros: Construction, image quality, price Cons: Vignetting Opinion: All in all it's not bad, on my X-T50 and its mega sensor it's fine, especially if we compare it to the price at which it is sold. The only real flaw that I would like to point out is the exaggerated vignetting. Basically it doesn't bother me too much, but actually you notice a lot. For the rest it is built well, the autofocus is fine, the rings are well frictioned, all in all for the price it is great! sent on December 12, 2024 |
 | Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VC VXD G2 Pros: Compact, top image quality, minimal extension, customizations Cons: Trifles Opinion: I use it mainly for sports, on Sony A6700. Simply perfect image quality from full aperture, quite compact, it extends little when zoomed, it is tropicalized, it is customizable from the app, in short, there is not much to say, it is perfect. I would have liked it to be unlocked simply by turning the ring, but we are really at a small thing. sent on December 11, 2024 |
 | Fujifilm X-T50 Pros: Image quality, film simulations Cons: Ergonomics, price Opinion: Complicated review. If I had to evaluate only the image quality it would be a 10 and praise, 40 megapixels well managed! But then we come up against some things that I don't like, some objective, others subjective. The single autofocus has no problems of course, the continuous one (for my uses) is not reliable at all. The ergonomics look nice, but it's not for me, small machine doesn't necessarily mean uncomfortable. The construction is not exactly at the highest level as it seems at first glance, some keys are a bit wobbly. Then the adjustable monitor in "photographic" style has its advantages for cockpit photography, but for vertical photography in crazy positions it is not good, here it depends a bit on your tastes and needs. In essence, a beautiful camera, which takes beautiful photos, but not without defects, taking into account the price that is asked which can certainly not be defined as cheap. For this reason, the grade is between excellent and good. sent on December 09, 2024 |
 | Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.7 Pros: All Cons: Nothing Opinion: I'll be brief: it's small, light, sharp and has a powerful autofocus. If we really want to bring out some defects we can mention the minimum focusing distance which is, as usual for Viltrox, "far" and the lack of tropicalization, but for 180-200€ it seems really dishonest to list them as defects. In fact, I used it during an entire cycling event, to put it to the whip and it didn't disappoint me at all, on the contrary! (see photos in my gallery to change your mind or go to my @girosnap page and watch the Salvo race) sent on October 30, 2024 |
 | Viltrox AF 75mm f/1.2 Pro Pros: Image quality, construction Cons: Weight, minimum focusing distance Opinion: I have used this lens for months, in sports, with enormous satisfaction. I had some problems with the focusing, sometimes they didn't contact the pins well and you had to re-engage it to make it resume. For the rest, in terms of image quality we are on very high standards. Too bad only for the minimum focusing distance which limits its use a lot; I didn't need it to be a macro as well, but a little less would not have hurt. All in all, for the price, you take home a nice piece of glass and you can overlook some shortcomings of a minor nature, in the face of superb build quality and image. sent on October 20, 2024 |
 | Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS II Pros: Lightness, I use video, photos but only from F8 Cons: Construction, rendering at open apertures, cost Opinion: What should such a perspective be evaluated for? For microcontrast? Three-dimensionality? No. It serves two purposes: to please those who enter the Sony world with a light lens and zoom. Or to make the body-lens combination light and small. Optically it is not so bad: in video it is excellent (obviously during the day) and for photos if you close the aperture it is more than good. The problem lies in the poor performance at open apertures, and since they are not killer apertures, this in 2024 is decidedly scandalous. The construction is not aligned with Sony standards, the extended barrel dances if you touch it and if you move it back and forth the zoom quickly produces chilling noises. Furthermore, by rotating the ring nut you can NOT have any kind of fluid movement, even if you want to. It goes really jerky. However, if I think about the reason why I bought it, which is to make the ZV-E10 pocket-sized enough to fit in the waist pack or backpack of the mtb, well, it's not that it's perfect, it's that it's the only one that can do it. I take the photos home anyway and the video problems derive more from the crop of the stabilization than from the lens. Ergo all in all he does his job well. The problem if anything is that we are in 2024, and other manufacturers have already shown for years that these lenses can be made, without making them cost a disproportionate, even in a decent way. (see Nikon 16-50). I give an EIGHT vote, because in the end the results are brought home. But it's really narrow, it would be more of a 7.5. sent on August 31, 2024 |
 | Tamron 28-75mm f/2.8 Di III VXD G2 Pros: Image Quality, Construction, Macro Ratio, Low Extension, Ergonomics Cons: Nobody! Opinion: Sold for manifest stupidity and then bought back. I use it for sports photos on APS-C and it has a perfect rendering that there. Comfortable, perfect at any length and aperture, yet beautiful to look at. I just can't find fault with it. It also has a programmable button and a USB-C socket to be able to customize some functions via app. I've never tried a GM, but how much better it can be, I don't know. sent on May 15, 2024 |
 | Panasonic G9 II Pros: Technical features, image quality, ergonomics, autofocus Cons: Dimensions Opinion: Where to start? Big step up in IQ of the micro 4/3 in my opinion with this sensor, but only at base ISO. When you go up to ISO you quickly get to the usual problems, mitigated a little by the new sensor, but always present. The ergonomics are great, but not perfect; However, this means that the machine is big, sometimes even too big. The new autofocus can be heard, it works well and as a first phase it is excellent. For the rest, it is generally a great machine, in every sense, with the limitations and advantages of the micro 4/3 system. sent on May 15, 2024 |
 | Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 45mm f/1.8 Pros: Perfect Cons: It's too cheap! Opinion: An optically powerful blade, very small and pocket-sized, very light, perfect AF in all conditions. There's nothing else to add, a "must have" lens with which you can do anything. By the way, with the Macro adapter mounted on top, it also allows for really interesting close-up shots. The micro 4/3 system hasn't offered new lenses for a long time: but do we really need them? sent on February 12, 2024 |
 | Sony FE 70-200 f/4 G OSS Pros: Autofocus, image quality, construction, ease of use Cons: Keys a bit rubbery (I'll explain below) Opinion: It will soon be ten years old, and by now it has dropped out of the charts, replaced by the brand new mark 2. This lens, however, can still have its say today, it has everything: size, weight, image quality (I would like to try the new version to understand the criticisms directed at this one). The zoom ring moves perfectly, fluid but not loose, always precise, a pleasure. In short, a great old lens that can still give great satisfaction: the short-toed eagle is always the short-toed eagle. The only flaw are the buttons on the lens which are a bit rubbery, they move well, but it is so easy to touch them involuntarily and move them, without noticing. sent on December 28, 2023 |
 | Nikon Z DX 12-28mm f/3.5-5.6 PZ VR Pros: Image quality, lightness, price Cons: No lens hood, variable diaphragm Opinion: Bought, sold, repented, bought back. This lens, for Nikon landscapers, is really good (of course it's also the only one). The image quality is impressive, I don't find any flaws in it. The weight is really ridiculous, well built even if made of plastic: in short, a really good lens, as Nikon has accustomed us. The only things I don't like are the lack of the standard lens hood, it costs 50€ + shipping costs to buy it separately (if they had made the lens cost 489 instead of 439 people bought it anyway and they were all happier, strange choices) and the variable diaphragm, I explain: it is not a con that it is variable in itself, but had it been consistent F4 it would have been much better and looking at what the market offers I doubt Nikon doesn't have the know-how to do it. In conclusion, however, a really good goal, look at the photos to believe it. sent on November 12, 2023 |
 | Sony A6700 Pros: Compactness, autofocus, image quality, functions, video compartment, stabilization Cons: Price? Really? Opinion: Compactness: it has the same dimensions, except for the depth of the grip, of the Panasonic GX80, do I need to say more? Autofocus: PERFECT. Image quality: always excellent. Functions: Infinite. Video sector: there is everything and more. Stabilization: we have you too. In short, there are those who say that it costs a lot, and perhaps subjectively for someone can also be a high price. But this machine has it all. And I challenge you to find such a complete machine at this price. sent on October 07, 2023 |
 | Nikon Z5 Pros: Construction, image quality, price, ergonomics Cons: Slow burst, "old" autofocus, unusable for video. Opinion: Let's start from an assumption, if we are interested in the full frame we have to put ourselves in the head and lightness and small dimensions are difficult to have. Overcome this preconception we find ourselves in front of a PHOTO camera really with an impressive value for money. Photographically speaking, the sensor still does its dirty work, it has dynamic range and resolution combined with excellent ISO resistance. On the video side, however, we are not really there, but probably it was not even designed for that. The burst is not great and combined with the autofocus not really bright continuously (single af is fine, although not very sensitive with low light) certainly do not make it a sports camera, but for landscape, street and everything else still today I think it is more than excellent. sent on August 19, 2023 |
 | Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM Pros: More than good optical quality, lightness Cons: Variable diaphragm, could be safely fixed given the range Opinion: I tried it out of curiosity adapted to the Canon R10, pulls out some very good images, especially in relation to the price. Optics built well, even if all plastic, and also very light. The only flaw I found is the variable diaphragm, which having a very small variation could be made fixed, but oh well it is a very old optics now. In conclusion if you are looking for a wide angle pushed for aps-c Canon, in addition to being the only option, it is a very valid option. sent on July 06, 2023 |

 | Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM Pros: Size, IQ, Close Focus Cons: Nothing Opinion: Used on Canon R10, then APSC format. Phantom lens in my opinion. The image quality is all on APSC, cutting away the edges. The minimum focusing distance allows you to make really interesting close-ups. All in a very compact and lightweight body. I think that for the price at which it is sold you can not ask for much more. sent on June 29, 2023 |
 | Canon RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM Pros: Lightweight, compact, good to start Cons: Bad construction, closed aperture, macro in manual focus unusable Opinion: Zoom kit a bit anachronistic compared to competitors in 2023. The construction is really bad, not for the materials themselves, but for the movements and sensations it returns. Snappy bezel, unlock really cheap. The minimum diaphragm of 4.5 is really a pig, at least the classic 3.5 was there. In manual focus it can go further with the macro capability, but the image quality goes to be blessed, which makes me wonder what the hell they put to do this option. On the other hand it is light and compact and as a lens to start or emergency is fine, but it does not do more than that. sent on June 06, 2023 |
 | Nikon Z 24-200mm f/4-6.3 VR Pros: Focal range, image quality, construction Cons: Dimensions and weight Opinion: It's the travel lens. The focal range is really comfortable, especially when you are in places where it is not advisable to change optics, see mountain excursions. The image quality is really very good, obviously it is not at top levels, but do not think that it differs much, and above all it has the quality of being quite homogeneous to any aperture and focal length, in short: the shot always takes it home. In addition, the fact of being stabilized in some situations tends to keep the ISO even lower than a 24-70 F4 S. In short, if you are looking for a travel superzoom for Nikon Z, this lens will not disappoint you. The only flaw, if you can say so because in short, there was also to be expected given the range and IQ, are the size and weight. But don't think it's so prohibitive, in fact, probably for the type of lens it's not even big. Well done Nikon. sent on April 24, 2023 |
 | Sigma 18-50mm f/2.8 DC DN Pros: Focus, openness, construction, size and IQ. Cons: Rings a bit strange, I explain below. Opinion: Excellent optics, it has everything you need. At € 500 we find a good focal range (27-75), constant aperture at F2.8, a more than good construction with even a minimum of weather resistance, all in a very small body. Finally, the image quality is all there in spite of what you hear around. The only cons are the rings: The zoom ring that turns backwards compared to the one found between most lenses, a bit unnatural but you get used to it and the focus ring put where one could imagine the aperture ring. You get used to it too, but in short, if it had been customizable... In general, however, an excellent optics. A must for those who love/need the genre. sent on February 19, 2023 |
 | Sony E 10-20mm f/4 PZ G Pros: Everything: construction, image quality, lightness, functions Cons: Some would say price and diaphragm, but if we look closely at the market ... Opinion: Small, ingenious optics for videographers and photographers. Impeccable construction, internal motorized zoom and very quiet, autofocus idem. Top image quality already from F4. Perfect minimum focusing distance even for small close-ups. In short, a great lens if you do not need "night" openings. If I then think of the 10-24 of Fuji that I had this destroys it in every area, including the price. sent on February 06, 2023 |
 | Sony E 11mm f/1.8 Pros: There are no cons. For me an almost perfect lens. Cons: See above! Opinion: It is the right size, it is very well built, it is sharp, optically very good and with a nice function key. It is also very light and with a maximum aperture of F1.8, combined with an interesting minimum focusing distance. All for about € 500. For vlogs, but also for photography, if you need such a lens it is almost perfect. A lot of stuff. sent on January 22, 2023 |
 | Fujifilm XF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 R LM OIS WR Pros: IQ, stabilization, weight, characteristics, aesthetics (subjective I know) Cons: Varifocal behavior Opinion: I fell in love with this optics. It has the right image quality (and I'm not good-mouthed), has a scary stabilization, weighs little, has the fire limiter which is a manna and then I really like it aesthetically, apart from the hood. The only flaw if we want is its varifocal behavior, that is, zooming you lose focus. But if you do "patient" photography like me, you can postpone it. Highly recommended for those who want a tele zoom of excellent quality, with features above average, without fainting. sent on December 17, 2022 |
 | Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f/4-5.6 R Pros: IQ, cost, lightness Cons: Construction Opinion: Let's clarify something that is not understood very well when inquiring about this lens: the image quality is there. Then it will certainly not be that of much more noble optics, but you will be amazed. What's not to like? The construction is truly low. But given the cost you have to take it into account. Optics highly recommended for sporadic use! sent on December 17, 2022 |
 | Fujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR Pros: Image quality, aperture, construction, size, there is everything! Cons: Just to ask for the moon: stabilization. Opinion: I don't know what more could be asked of a lens. The image quality is indisputable, at all apertures. The autofocus is fast and accurate. The construction is impeccable, the diaphragm ring perfect. Maybe only the hood is not level, but it doesn't suck at me. The dimensions all in all are acceptable, even the weight is not excessive. Let's not forget that it is also tropicalized, although as far as I am concerned it is not a feature that makes the difference, especially on such a lens. In short. He lacks nothing. Does it cost a hair more than you might expect? Yes, but it gives you everything you need. All. sent on November 03, 2022 |
 | Panasonic G90 Pros: Dimensions, ergonomics, functionality Cons: Autofocus Opinion: The G90 could be my ultimate machine. It has the right dimensions, an almost perfect ergonomics (holding it in my hand I can fit the handle as if it were a glove) and has all the features that an amateur photographer needs. Why won't it be my ultimate camera for sure? Well, mainly because Panasonic's autofocus is really painful. Luck wants that with the m4/3 using manual focus is much less problematic. And then the sensor, although good, now begins to feel the weight of the years, especially on the resilience of the highlights. Overall a great camera, recommended for all photographers. A little less to the most demanding videomakers. sent on August 20, 2022 |
 | Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 9mm f/1.7 ASPH Pros: Sharpness, weight, size, cost Cons: Nobody! Opinion: In my humble opinion here we are facing a new "must have" lens of the already fantastic line of micro 4/3 lenses. There is everything, the sharpness, the weight, the size and not least the price! Sure, some purists might complain about plastic construction, but I find it really well built despite this. We are there and it is a very advisable lens! PS Note the very short focusing distance that makes possible some really interesting close-ups! sent on July 15, 2022 |
 | Nikon Z50 Pros: Image quality, Build quality, ISO resistance, monitor. Cons: Lack of optical stabilization (but only because there are not too many stabilized optics) Opinion: I've been playing with this room for a few months. The image quality is one of the best I've ever had, it really generates some wonderful files. For the rest it is the usual classic Nikon built damn well, nothing to complain. The only lack is an optical stabilization, but as written above, only because Nikon has not made many stabilized lenses. In fact, with the 18-140 it is a very strong combination and it is difficult to miss a few shots. Excellent body in my opinion, considered less than what it is really worth. sent on June 08, 2022 |
 | Panasonic Lumix G Vario 35-100mm f/4.0-5.6 ASPH OIS Pros: Compact and sharp Cons: In relation to the price, nothing. Opinion: What a lens! As usual, the M4/3 system offers unexpected surprises! At a very low cost you find yourself with a beautiful classic 70-200 canvas, with excellent image quality and crazy portability! Okay, it doesn't have constant diaphragms. Okay, the construction is not at the top, but we are talking about 300€! But in the end the images, which are the most important things, you take them home! sent on May 02, 2022 |
 | Nikon Z DX 18-140mm f/3.5-6.3 VR Pros: Sharpness, lightness, compactness Cons: Lack of hood Opinion: Perfect optics for trips where you need to stay light and compact. Quite sharp at all focal lengths, in some situations very sharp. Perfect construction, it is plastic yes, but seriously are we still so far behind that we consider it disgusting? As far as I'm concerned, it doesn't make me feel the lack of metal. Very very interesting this lens, if you need a light all-rounder and that makes you take home the result ALWAYS this lens is great! sent on January 08, 2022 |
 | Nikon Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR Pros: Optical quality, lightness Cons: Aperture, aesthetic Opinion: If all KIT lenses were like this the KIT lenses would not be so mistreated. Very very good optical quality, lightweight and built well despite being plastic. Obviously the opening of the diaphragm does not go crazy, but for day photos we say that everything is compensated by the homogeneity of its yield. In conclusion, a very good KIT lens, if you do not need bright optics to begin with does everything you have to do and more. Ah, let's also say that it is not beautiful to see when open, but I mean, we can overlook this topic. :) sent on December 20, 2021 |
 | Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-45mm f/4 Pro Pros: Image quality, homogeneous rendering, "macro" reproduction ratio, construction, weight. Cons: Nobody. Opinion: Fantastic lens. I sold it because it was little used, but I know I will regret it. Homogenous and beautiful rendering at all focal lengths and apertures. Excellent construction. You could say that the cons is the maximum aperture F4, but if you buy this lens instead of the little brother 2.8 you do it consciously and you already know that it will not be a problem for the photos you have to take. sent on November 23, 2021 |
 | Fujifilm XF 18-55 f/2.8-4R LM OIS Pros: Cost from used, aperture, dimensions, construction Cons: Poor reliability Opinion: This lens would be perfect if considered only on the price, construction and aperture side of the diaphragm. The only problem, which I have encountered, is a poor reliability. In what sense? In the sense that it often does not generate sharp enough images, but randomly and without an apparent technical motivation. Will it be me who had the misfortune to take a flawed lens? Maybe, but on the net there are many discordant opinions. Too bad, because if it had a minimum of "extra linearity" it would be practically the perfect kit optics. sent on November 23, 2021 |
 | Fujifilm XF 10-24mm f/4 R OIS WR Pros: Construction, sharpness, internal zoom Cons: Aperture, cost Opinion: Excellent wide-angle lens, nothing to complain about. However, it has the flaw of the diaphragm "only" F4 that in some situations is limiting. It wouldn't be a big problem if it weren't a new nearly €1,000 optics. The yield is excellent, as the sharpness at least up to 18, then drops a hair but nothing striking. The construction is really good, no game, great materials, WR, very well done. sent on November 23, 2021 |
 | Samyang AF 12mm f/2 Pros: Aperture, 18mm equivalent focal length, cost Cons: Cost higher than the variant for Sony (more an injustice than a con) Opinion: When compared to my 10-24 RWR, at 12mm it's slightly below as far as optical quality is concerned, but not as much as you'd tend to think. On the other hand, however, it is light, cheaper and F2! Which makes up for the small difference in optical quality. On the other hand, it is a very good lens for those looking for a true wide angle with an excellent focal aperture without having to sell a kidney. The only flaw, in addition to the unfairly higher cost compared to the Sony twin, is that when the machine is turned on it has a small bug that makes a 1-second blackout before it can shoot. Nothing transcendental, but it should be reported and above all it can be annoying if you have to take a quick shot. sent on November 20, 2021 |
