nikon_z5Nikon Z5

Pros: stabilizer, viewfinder, robust and tropicalized construction, sensor, dual slots, customizable keys, price, accurate and fast AFS

Cons: AFC a bit slow, along with the poor visibility of monitor and viewfinder in low light, these are the only defects I find

Opinion: over the years I had a bit of everything in the FF world, then I stopped with the Df, but I needed an ML for some vintage M42 mount lenses and Ais the best solution as an IQ / construction / price ratio and undoubtedly in the FF world the Nikon Z5, offers a magnificent sensor that has nothing inferior to the BSI if not at very high iso. For those who love the Leica M makes great, better from what I have seen of the BSI on Sony, in fact the latter from 35mm down begin to suffer at the corners, becoming kneaded by 24mm, while the Z5 also holds the 21mm without loss of detail. Solid construction as per Nikon tradition, small and compact, with each customizable button becomes a glove to wear in photography, the stabilizer works great with all the lenses mounted, both the original Z, that the G and manual focus with adapter. in AFs is very fast especially with the original Z optics, much more than all the SLRs I had, with the manual focus the viewfinder zoom allows a precision of focus unthinkable for any SLR, the ideal complement in the future will be the Megadap to make them work in AF. in AFc the face eye recognition function works well, but certainly you can not expect the performance in speed and burst of machines that cost three times. I find the viewfinder excellent, I do not see impediments of any kind for those coming from SLR, the only problem is also valid for the monitor, with little light you can see with difficulty but the AF works perfectly. It should be noted that despite being a basic model, it has multiple exposure, interval shooting, time-lapse, focus stacking like the superior models. I am very satisfied with the purchase, I was looking for a new stabilized ML and with excellent sensor at a low price, and the Z5 gave me much more than what I was looking for

nikon_af28-105dNikon AF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 D

Pros: colors, sharpness at 28 up to 50, then drops, light and robust, price

Cons: lens hood

Opinion: This humble zoom is the lens I use the most, this is enough to have a place of honor among the fixed emblazoned that I own. I got there after testing a bit of Nikon zoom, from 24-85 G, a super contrasted crap and closed shadows, the 24-120 G a little better but always too hard in yield, to 28-70 D beautiful but heavy and bulky. that I appreciate are the classic colors of the D that here are best expressed without too saturated reds typical of the latest Nikon. Sharpness for my standards excellent at 28mm, then it begins to fade as it stretches, but it is not a problem the sharpness there is where needed and at 105 centrally and still good for portraits, closing obviously improves. an optic that I recommend to those looking for a light and versatile zoom, and that appreciates the yields of past lenses, made of soft contrasts, open shadows, pastel colors without anyone exaggerating, the price and within the reach of anyone, if you can try it and it could surprise you.

nikon_fm3aNikon FM3a

Pros: Aesthetics, shutter, viewfinder, light meter, solid and reliable, strong value hold, uniqueness being the latest FM produced

Cons: it's perfect like that

Opinion: I've had it for three years and it was a purchase that I will never regret, because I like to use it and own it, look at it and admire it, an aesthetic and mechanical perfection that only FM have. It was the last FM produced, the swan song at Nikon, little considered because it cost a lot and we were going digital, while those who used the film preferred those with af. Today it is strongly revalued but the price is worth it all for its uniqueness. Its merit is a mechanical / electrical shutter that is a masterpiece of engineering, it works with the small battery of eternal durability in electronic mode up to 1/4000 including the aperture priority with an EV compensation ring, without battery in mechanical mode up to 1/1000. the light meter is excellent and does not miss a beat as only Nikon can make them, the viewfinder and a pleasure for the eyes and focuses easily, I recommend taking it with its P 45mm, another jewel in the Nikon house, little understood but which has a beautiful rendering. There is little else to add, the film manuals do not have the functions of digital, in the end you just have to compose and choose the exposure triplets, with the FM3a it is a pleasure to do so, and reassures that it will do so without ever disappointing you

nikon_28-70_f2-8Nikon AF-S 28-70mm f/2.8 D ED

Pros: colors and contrast, unsurpassed in the portraits set

Cons: Weight, size, AF engine

Opinion: optics that I had sold and then resumed, evaluated with the current parameters comes loser, many defects first of all a fast AF engine but that can break when it begins to whistle and scratch, then weight and size, lack of stabilizer, focal that starts from 28mm and sharpens a hair below the g zoom counterpart. Now rightly you wonder what I started doing again , well even today after so many years remains an unsurpassed zoom for set portraits, focal length 28-70 in this case suitable, the blurry and pastel colors, open shadows with soft contrasts and right sharpness, are a perfect mix that makes any complexion pleasant, ready file without banging in PP even for aged ladies. In this context is in my opinion still the king in the nikon house, vote 10

canon_g5x_iiCanon G5 X Mark II

Pros: construction quality, portability, file quality, excellent Jpeg, makes it easy to use it in M

Cons: lack of slow threading

Opinion: I was looking for a compact for my wife and daughter, so the first requirement knowing their needs was portability, great Jpeg and zoom extension. the choice was this machine because Canon in the pleasantness of the colors in Jpeg is a step forward for me, Fuji also knows how to make excellent Jpeg but does not have in catalog anything like it. they are very satisfied, especially my daughter has fun with the countless filters that you can apply and the ability to immediately make social photos via smartphone. Using it also I also found a machine that can go well beyond the Auto function, thanks to the two diaphragms you can use with easy in priority diaphragm or time for complete exposure management, the raw file quality surprised me, iso base and excellent and appreciable at 400, the very comfortable zoom has at 24mm a uniform detail rendering even at the corners , and thanks to the opening of the diaphragm at 120mm you can have a very pleasant blurred in the portraits, the IS thanks to the small sensor works in an excellent way with 4 real stops on the times, The AF and fast and precise, the viewfinder comfortable especially when you are in the backlight, the small flash and very useful in enclosed environments with the possibility of bending it towards the ceiling. So many qualities but the amazing thing is that all this is in a machine that is really compact and you can use and carry anywhere, this for me was a revelation, I have so many cameras much more emblazoned, but none gave me this freedom to put it in the pocket of jeans. only negative note and the impossibility of putting a protective filter or polarizer to the lens not being there the thread to screw, be careful then, ruin the lens and throw the machine.
