The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Olympus E-420 Pros: Light, well built, very cheap in the second-hand market, cheap stock lenses but of excellent quality for their price, double slot, viewfinder bright enough for its era and for its price, long-lasting battery Cons: In very slow XD processing Opinion: It is a machine that surprised me; I use a Leica Digilux 3 and I found this camera in the second-hand market with its two lenses 14-42 and 50-150 all like new for 80€!! Well, having said that I can say that it is a camera that makes me have a lot of fun, it can mount my Leica lenses both Auto Focus (14-50 Vario Elamar and Summilux 24/1.4), but above all the Leica R lenses with original Leica adapter. The Leica R optics on the Digilux are a bit problematic because with the small viewfinder you can't focus well and then lens cameras reach almost 1.5 kg in weight; the OLYMPUS 420 instead read, small, all plastic but built in an excellent way and makes me have a lot of fun sent on April 27, 2025 |
 | Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f/4.0-5.6 Pros: Lightweight, small, very cheap and reliable; sharp enough and in any case if you know how to use it work very well Cons: All plastic even when excellently assembled Opinion: I use it worthily on my Leica Digilux tre for which I also own the 14-50 Leica vario Elmar and the 25/1,4 Summilux Leica. In addition I also have the Elmarit 135/2.8 R with original 4:3 mount. However, the 135, which becomes a 270, needs manual focus which, however, on the Digilux three is quite laborious and cannot always be perfect. I then use the Olympus 40-150 which gives me decent results but above all in autofocus which for a third lens is not little, and also the focal length goes up to 300 mm. The Olympus then thinks 200 g against the 750 g of the 135 Leica, and frankly it never disappoints. For what it costs (30€) the grade is 10/10 sent on April 26, 2025 |
 | Canon PowerShot Pro1 Pros: Superior optical quality, magnesium alloy camera body, very bright 28-200 zoom, vintage charm, rotating display, optical viewfinder, accessible menu, portability, Raw, used price, larger sensor than compact cameras Cons: 400 asa grain, lack of anti-vibration, electric excursion zoom Opinion: It is a camera not suitable for beginners, a tool that at the time cost 1300 € but which can now be found in the second-hand market even for 80 €. It is a machine that must be understood, It must be supported and accepted its operational greatness as well as the numerous limitations due to the project dated twenty years ago; excellently built, small but not pocket-sized, to always carry with you but suitable for professionals or advanced amateurs who can make the most of its potential. The lack of an anti-vibration and the unacceptable grain that appears strictly at 400 Asa but which is also found in the shadows at 100 Asa, means that the camera to be exploited to the fullest must preferably be used only at the sensitivity of 50 asa. This involves the use of a tripod, but those who are familiar with photography always have a small pocket tripod with them. After these downsides due to an old project, however, I have to skip the excellent quality of the L-series lens, which returns mythologizes, intentional blur, focusing planes at really high levels. Many people think that with eight megapixels you can't get good photographs, but this is an urban legend because with eight megapixels and a lens of this rank you can easily get 30 × 40 prints to show off. The exorbitant price that it cost in 2004 was justified because this camera was presented as a professional to take where it was impossible to go with the reflex kit in full. Nowadays all this seems outdated, but a true amateur photo can not disdain the quality of the lens that this camera mounts. With a few lire, the price of a pizza for two, you often take home a small masterpiece, aware, however, that it would be impossible to repair it in case of breakdowns. If I were a Canon designer I would remake the same camera by equipping it with modern software, a one-inch sensor, and above all the ability to take decent photographs even at 1600 asa. I would also equip it with an anti-vibration system. Except that at this point I fear that the sale price of an object would be well over € 1000. And so personally I accept it as it is with all its limitations but all its vintage charm sent on October 20, 2024 |
 | Leica SL2 Pros: Excellent camera in all respects. Complete, reliable, tropicalized, accepts optics of all kinds, movies of exceptional quality. Describing all the merits is impossible. Cons: It weighs (with 24-90, with which it does everything) about 2kg. It costs 6,090 euros; is that a lot? For what it offers no, but logically it is not for everyone Opinion: A truly amazing machine with a five-axis stabilizer, a sensor of almost 50 mega full frame pixels is a wonderful file quality, representing the flagship of all Leica production. It can also accept targets Leica SL, Leica S, Leica TL, Leica M, Leica R, Sigma and Lumix. Actually an ALL-in-one with 24-90. sent on July 02, 2020 |
