The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Olympus OM-1 Pros: Small, light, aesthetically beautiful without giving in the eye, functional and practical, it had everything it needed. Cons: Nobody Opinion: I was 14 years old when my father stood at home with an OM1 that had been given to him by a shopkeeper of used photographic equipment; that OM1 was of a photojournalist, dirty, battered, and with a scratch on the 50 mm and some dents at the edges of the lens. But it worked, perfectly, always! In any environmental condition, with that fantastic light meter needle and that unique ''sound'' you heard when you uploaded the photo... and the noise of the shot... in short, it was all-encompassing love! Over time, at the same retailer, I bought other legendary zuiko lenses for a few lire and fell ill with photography. She is still here, every now and then I look at her, I try her, I shoot her. The emotion is always the same. In the following years I switched to nikon fmn2.. and then with digital to Canon. Today when I look at the R6 it always seems to me that something is missing, yet it has everything and more. It lacks the charm of that simplicity, that aesthetics and those stratospheric Zuiko optics. One thing is certain: I sell and buy digital bodies but she with her optics will always stay with me. sent on October 29, 2021 |
 | Canon EF 400mm f/5.6 L USM Pros: Lightweight, robust, fantastic integrated lampshade, gorgeous optical quality Cons: For what it costs, nothing Opinion: It's my favorite lens, the one that's glued to my 5d3 90 percent of the time (and it was also on the previous 30 and 40d). I have to say that I'm "born" with fixed. I started my photographic adventure with an Olympus om1 and an oly 300 4.5, so finding myself in my hands this lens was for me like going back to the origins. Those who are not used to using fixed canvases may find it difficult to find the subject right away. Everyone else can only love this lens. I read criticism scants on the lack of stabilizer, on the diaphragm 5.6 etc... but you forget about its quality relative to the price. I can't afford anything else and I use the 400 5.6 mainly to try to photograph the pack of wolves that I've been following for 15 years. I've always used it with the 1.4 x Canon and on 5d3 the pairing is fantastic, with minimal loss of quality. This year to try to get closer I also bought a 2x, always version II (it's a dated lens, why match a modern TC?) ... I'd done it before! Surprised by the results I also tried the "combo" by joining 1.4/2 and I have to say that the results are not bad at all. But always on 5d3! On apsc the files instead lose heavily in quality! With the 5d3 in live view then you keep the autofocus even with the "combo"... it looks amazing but it is so! Combining even a wireless shot I managed to take beautiful photos of one of the most elusive animals ever, with a final quality of the file that left me stunned! What would I change it with if I had the money? Since the mm is never enough I would change it only for a 500 5.6 IS or for a 400DO... Vote 10 Louis sent on September 07, 2019 |
