![]() | Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM Pros: Its compactness and light weight considering the focal reachable, construction, supplied accessories, stabilizer first generation but useful Cons: 400 my copy was not very clear, in my view, the locking system Zoom pump is cumbersome, it takes two hands to block the ring Opinion: I bought it used and taking a few months, sold only to finance other purchases. I would say that the best quality of this lens is definitely its compactness and lightness especially considering the focal length that reaches and its construction of a professional level. The thing that I've never been convinced is the sharpness in general never sublime and the further decline in the maximum focal length, with a focus on the long distance between the other and usually also the most used. It must be said that maybe this could be a defect in particular specimen in my possession that was an old building (2006), perhaps in the newer models canon corrected something. However if you find a good sample used in my opinion is a good deal if you do not pay more than a thousand euro. Now there are alternatives with a focal length that reaches 600 mm but are larger and heavier lenses. Then there is the new canon 100-400, same features as the old but best at everything. It appears from the on-line test of photozone particularly successful but costs almost2000 euro. sent on December 28, 2014 |
![]() | Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 L II USM Pros: bokeh gorgeous, clear already at f 1.2, precision of 'auto-focus, three-dimensional image Cons: is not a suitable optics to all photographers and all types of photography Opinion: It 'a wonderful optics. The own for a year and although it has also other excellent optics for use in my kit that could somehow replace it, I find it invaluable. Unfortunately there is a lens for everyone and I am not referring to the price but the fact that those who are willing to buy should be aware that this view is not the most versatile optical into circulation, has a fast autofocus, and you think it is quite cumbersome compared to its focal length, but if you love the picture, take pictures with natural light also very dim, wrap your subject in a painting that seems out of focus, then this is the Goal for you. There is to be noted that the autofocus is not fast but it is very accurate even at f 1.2, in fact when you use it you have to manually turn the focus ring from minimum distance to infinity to about 260 ° almost a full circle ! The construction is very solid, impressive, fascinating even, a work of art that rewards those who forgives his Peraltro necessary defects with the images that easily will be part of your favorite shots and want to show it to everyone. sent on January 01, 2014 |
![]() | Tokina AT-X 16-28mm f/2.8 Pro FX Pros: robust construction, 16 mm sharpness is excellent in the center as in the extreme corners already F/5.6, reduced distortion, new front cap (supplied with the objectives of recent production), vignetting and chromatic aberrations very small price Cons: the weight is felt in the long run (but one that had the strength and the large front lens), switch for switching between f and mf system that can like it or not is fast but not as the most precise system canon, flare evident "to rainbow" in some situations Opinion: I wrote this review, canon for all users like me who want a good alternative to the admittedly excellent 16-35 f 2.8 II. I can not make a comparison between the two because I've never used the canon but in the past I've owned for a long time and used a lot of the tokina 12-24 f4 1st series, Sigma 12-24 f4.5-5.6 Series II, sigma 24 f 2.8, Nikon 28 f2.8, Nikon 28-70 f2.8 and I can compare it to 24 with the canon 24-70 mm f 2.8 series that I still possess. We must say that is a great goal, robust, bright f2.8 but regardless of the focal length set at the center sharpness is very good, good at the edges but only average in the extreme edges. At f4 the sharpness in the middle becomes excellent, very good edges and good in the extreme corners. From f5.6 to f11 instead of the shot becomes excellent sharpness throughout the frame extreme angles compresi.Premessi the pros and cons that I wrote before, I would say that is a great lens to do everything but finds its highest expression in the panoramic photos. I have paid 730 euro in a physical store and for what it's worth from tests photozone and if dxombra that optically, is slightly higher than the 16-35 f 2.8 II. The situation is different if the focus a bit faster, tropicalization, the focal range of up to 35 mm and light weight are your priorities in this case it is better to be canon. An optical L-series has always stood for quality, but if the difference in cost is 540 Euros (!) And quality guaranteed by the tokina is in many ways indisputable, this price difference is just evaluate it, so a little something more in-depth in my opinion is right do it. sent on August 28, 2013 |
![]() | Canon 1Ds Mark III Pros: strength, speed, weather sealing, infinite adjustments, battery life, large viewfinder, fast and accurate autofocus, shutter from 300,000 cycles Cons: high max ISO 3200, wide screen and sufficiently sharp but not at the level of those today 's speed' of writing to a card after the bursts with raw is not very high Opinion: use a series 1 by what they say 'always a pleasure that other series machines can not give less. The technology is making headway and 'obvious that a 5d Mk III, for example, provides better performance, especially at high ISO, but I personally do not snap much more than the 1600 ISO and do not particularly like small camera bodies, use a 5-series also has of battery grip does not give me 'the same feeling of full control that gives me a 1DS3 instead. The sealing and construction bulletproof do the rest. These are obviously feelings and personal considerations and this is not to say that a certain product is better than one dated more 'recently, I only say that using a comparison automobile does not count only the acceleration from 0 to 100 or the maximum speed, the pleasure Driving is also given by the cornering grip, shock absorbers and well-calibrated by a motor capable of making thousands of kilometers without the least failure. sent on May 22, 2013 |
![]() | Canon EF 135mm f/2.0 L USM Pros: already clear to F2, bokeh, construction, auto focus (fast and accurate), size and weight Cons: rounded diaphragm Opinion: if you have determined that the focal length is 135 mm for you this is the right target! Honestly, of all the optics I've had or tried is what I think comes closest to perfection, has mooolti advantages and virtually no defects worthy of note, if we look at the hairs on blade rounded diaphragm has not but the bokeh that produces is still wonderful. One major advantage is the sharpness of the already very high in F2 and this together with weight, size and price make it a lens not exaggerated really recommend to all sent on February 11, 2013 |
![]() | Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS II USM Pros: construction, quality ottica.nitidezza already at 2.8, stabilizer, speed of focus, bokeh Cons: cost does not go unnoticed Opinion: This lens is certainly expensive but it is an optical "definitive." The own for 6 months and I must say that leaves little else to be desired, it is clear that the best fixed lenses, has a stabilizer 4-stops "real" clear already at room temperature, also has a nice bokeh (here the fixed lenses I are still slightly above) pleasant, especially to 200 mm. The weight and bulk defects because they do not consider them more or less equivalent to the 70-200 2.8 concorrenza.rnE 'a lens built to last with multiple uses, from indoor sports, the ceremonies, the street to the portrait, using it with an extender 2X (better in the series III) and 7D also a photographic safari. I am combining several shots I've done some beautiful sights! This multi-functional nature and its extreme quality convinced me purchase it. Absolutely recommended. sent on November 11, 2012 |
![]() | Sigma 12-24mm f/4.5-5.6 II DG HSM Pros: costruzione.Buona quality ottica.12 mm.leggerezza Cons: sharpness in the corners especially 24 mm, reduced brightness (not important at these focal lengths) Opinion: I use this lens on the 5D MKII and 7D and in my opinion is perfectly suited to both bodies (on the 7D becomes a good wide angle 19-38). However, this view is definitely born to full frame, in fact 12 mm with their perspective "ultra-wide" also make impressive compositions that otherwise would say very little to the viewer. The impression is that the lens with its 122 ° redesign what you're watching with your own eyes. I use it almost always as a fixed 12 mm manual focus set to hyperfocal 2 mt. My copy bought in a physical store of trust, there is no problem of f / b focus and extreme angles 4 shows a decrease of sharpness reduced. Obviously it is not very bright but it is also true that you can take safely with no risk of 1/15-1/30 times micromosso.Per the views gives the best f / 8 to f/16 (more than 12 mm) , 24 mm to notice a slight drop in overall sharpness. Personally I would recommend is a perspective well built, from affordable cost and qualityvery good optics, fast focus motor, weighs the right and the bag should always find place. sent on November 03, 2012 |
