The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Fujifilm XF 10-24mm f/4 R OIS WR Pros: Very versatile lens in the landscape photos for which it was born, which thanks to the 24 focal length avoids having to change the lens for some possible street shot, right weight, tropicalization even if not impeccable. Cons: Many of the defects of the previous series have remained, the shot must be calibrated very well especially if there are geometric subjects or people near the edges. The lens widens a lot on the final part, so the lens hood is very bulky. Opinion: A lens created for landscape photos, an excellent travel companion or excursion. With the focal length at 24 it allows you to also take some street photos even if for this there are much more suitable lenses, and also venture some portraits on the fly without changing the lens, something that would not be done with fixed wide angles. Obviously the results are not Pulitzer Prize. The lens unfortunately maintains many defects of the old, the distortion at the edges especially at 10 mm there is, in the landscape photo you do not notice much, but if there are people near the edges you have to calibrate the photo well, be careful not to tilt the camera too much up or down, let's say it is not a foolproof bomb, but it allows you to do many things with a single lens, which does not allow the 8-16, too specific ... In the street you can play a bit to make some nice effects, but always calibrating the distortion, which however is reduced to longer focal lengths. The maximum aperture is fixed at f4.0, the thing does a lot PRO, but I did not quite understand the advantage where it is ... having had an f2.8 at 10 mm would have allowed you to take pictures even to the stars. However, I repeat, for excursions it is excellent, the tropicalization works very well on the whole lens body, a bit of doubt leaves me on the area of contact with the camera body, I have an XT3 so tropicalized too, but I happened to find myself under an unexpected summer rain, which lasted a few minutes but it splashed a lot ... I dried it externally but after 1 hour there was condensation on the sensor, nothing inside the lenses, but on the sensor yes, disassembled the lens was damp the contact edge between body and lens, it had never happened to me with the 100-400. Excellent rings, very precise, fast autofocus, in general it is a good lens, although I did not fall in love with it lost... I also take various photos inside, but you have to be very careful what you do for distortion. is it the best lens for fuji? NO But it is a lens that I would call hybrid between a wide angle and a handyman. Its best it gives in the landscapes, but it allows you to start from home with a single lens, something that you would not do with a fixed 10 or 12, nor with an 8-16. Weight ok, similar to the 18-55, size a hair larger. It has that shape that widens at the end, so even the hood becomes quite bulky, and mounted on the contrary is horrendous. I to put it in the neoprene case I have to disassemble it, which I do not do with 18-55 ... result that always leaves them in the backpack apart when you just can not do without it ... sent on August 23, 2021 |
 | Canon G1X Mark III Pros: among the compact is undoubtedly one of the best performing, the only compact zoom with tropicalized APSC sensor Cons: dark from mid-focal excursion up, manual focus unusable, still use the digic 7, if you make video it has no microphone input and does not record 4k Opinion: I had to replace the old g7x and I wanted something more performing and more suitable for photography. I evaluated many models, in the end I dwelt on the G5x m2, G1x m3 and panasonic lx100 m2 and ricoh gr3. In the end I opted for this, the qualitative leap with the g5 was not enough to convince me, the ricoh has fixed lens and very few physical controls, so it would have been limiting and unmusing although it has excellent image quality, the lx100 was the most beautiful to use with all physical controls such as a fuji, a manual focus that is a pleasure and very bright ... With regard to photos, however, I found it unconvincing and the screen is fixed, for recreational use it is convenient to have the tilt screen. In the end I opted for the g1x m3 which is also WR. In general, I am happy, but in hindsight I would still have some doubts. It is not small enough to be considered pocket-sized, the articulated screen is bulky, the tilt that rises from above as on the g5-g7 is more practical. The lens is at the levels of a mirrorless ekit, so not stratospheric but on the other hand they have done everything possible to stay on acceptable dimensions. I am not convinced that it was the best to have replaced the micro 4/3 of the g1x m2 with the apsc of the m3. Better quality yes, but at the expense of focal length and above all brightness. The 15mm F2.8 can stay there, but it soon switches to F5.6 and in many situations it gets really dark. The controls are more or less all setable, the manual focus is a little disappointing, the focus peaking is not very visible and among the various solutions that can be set, dedicating the multi-cleaning ring to us is the best solution, but it still remains very uncomfortable, to be used in "emergency". The viewfinder goes very well, comfortable the built-in flash, works well with the app. I don't care much about videos, but it's a shame that it doesn't do 4k since it's a standard now, and it doesn't have external microphone input. Evidently they wanted to downgrade it on various fronts to give more appeal to other models. The grip is excellent for being a small machine, shots makes about 200-230, not many but for a compact it is nothing strange. Spare batteries are cheap and very small, it does not bother to have 1 or 2 behind them. In general it is an excellent machine with which to take well in manual, excellent for those who start or for those who want to travel light, or those who want a camera to always have with them, with which to take photos that with a phone you can only dream of. If you are used to compact is a bomb, if you are used to reflex or mirrorless of medium/high range you have to accept some compromise. It is now at acceptable prices so I would say interesting. sent on January 31, 2021 |
