yongnuo_50_f1-8iiYongnuo YN 50mm f/1.8 II

Pros: price, brightness, weight and dimensions

Cons: plastic, construction, optical quality

Opinion: A perspective without infamy and without praise, economic and you can not expect much from this fifty. The lenses are certainly not of the best optical quality and you see a lot in the photos especially if you crop and push a lot in the backlight or use it at full aperture. the aberrations are there and it is really soft at the edges, but it starts to get sharp from F4 up. One thing I liked is the metal bayonet that surprised me given the very low price, but it ends here, also because like the 35mm the assembly is not the best in fact there are games between the couplings that could compromise the photos or break this lens in a short time if not treated well. A very good thing is the shape of the front lens, very recessed in the structure of the optics, which makes the flare absent if not the extreme conditions, the disadvantage instead is the autofocus, which has a noisy motor and that vibrates a lot, sometimes inaccurate and slow

tokina_28-70_f2-8Tokina AT-X PRO 28-70mm f/2.8

Pros: construction, versatility, sharpness, price

Cons: in extreme cases aberrations

Opinion: An optics that was actually conceived by Angenieaux who gave the construction under license to Tokina, who actually put only the brand, in fact internally the quality of the optical glasses and mechanisms is sublime incomparable to any optics I have ever tried. In extreme conditions, with very clear subjects or reflecting light to TA suffers from typical aberrazons . I use it only on FF where it gives the best, with a dense sensor like that of the a900 or a850 the yield looks like that of the old films for which it was designed, from what I noticed it is also sealed so it also has a minimum of resistance to bad weather at least in the two versions I own (all with Sony A attack)

sony_20_f2-8Sony 20mm f/2.8

Pros: compact. lightweight, sharp, price (Minolta), AF

Cons: sharpness and vignetting at TA, manual focus

Opinion: I own the old Minolta version that is in all respects the Sony apart from the brand, having said that I use it a lot on I am A850 and on A900 (same machine in practice) and I must say that I feel great for being a super wide angle, the landscapes are its strong in my opinion where if you move around F4 or a little further it becomes sharp, then over F 6.3 becomes a razor, personally I use it to these diaphragms and I never move to 2.8 also because I like to shoot with adequate luninosita and never in the evening, but I must say that among all the GAs I have (Canon especially but also some Nik) this for me is what I prefer as a yield, moreover it is very compact in terms of length and also the weight is not excessive. For me the only real flaw is the focus ring that is really small and placed very forward, with hood mounted (mandatory to avoid the typical flare from GA) is unusable, but this I think is wanted as this series of Minolta lenses was designed for their autofocus machines (the first in the world with this system) so they wanted to discourage the use of manual fire, which moreover I find not very useful on a lens like this since it is really fast and accurate in focusing

sony_a900Sony A900

Pros: Solidity, consistency in performance, sensor, internal stabilization, available optical fleet, customizations

Cons: High ISO noise, no live view

Opinion: A Rock, built like a tank, totally tropicalized, more compact than the competitors of the time and with a higher quality of image, has a phenomenal EXMOR sensor, which from immense rows of 24mp spectacular, at its exit was the FF with the highest resolution. I bought it to complete my Sony Reflex Full Frame collection, already owning the a850 this is very similar, but better, visually it is the same machine, same body and same weight but as performance this is ahead, it has a faster burst of 5fps, a bright and faithful viewfinder that covers 100% and a different settings menu, despite being a high level professional reflex comparable to the EOS1DS series and Nikon D4 is still very intuitive and relatively while offering better performance than the other two competitors mentioned above.

canon_90dCanon 90D

Pros: Build quality, fabulous images without the need for PP, solid and robust, fairly tropicalized body, intuitive, compact

Cons: nobody

Opinion: A fabulous Reflex from every point of view, really well built, solid with good tropicalization, light and compact, I have been owning it for about 1 year and I have to say that I find it simply perfect, you think what to do and she does it without hesitation, even in extreme conditions she performs well, the DIGIC 8 does its job and even in poor light with high ISO the noise is never present , the quality of the images is then so high that there is almost never a need for post production, the colors are very faithful and beautiful as per canon tradition, I believe that for those looking for an APS-V Canon (1.6X) this is the best of the best, no compromise and all substance.

sony_a850Sony A850

Pros: Sensor quality, general ergonomics, sensor stabilization, available optical fleet, tropicalization

Cons: Weight, noise over 1600 ISO, no Live View, no video mode, viewfinder does not cover 100%

Opinion: Here you review a camera, certainly not the economic way in which it has been procured, in fact paying little is certainly not a point that makes its quality stand out. I have been owning this machine body for some time now, and I have to say that for his age he still defends himself very well, it was the last Sony/Minolta FF equipped with a mirror, this brings it into history, you can see all the strengths related to this project, such as the lifting mechanism of the double-lever mirror, the Exmor sensor with stabilization integrated into the machine body (the only FF apart from the a900 to be equipped with this type of technology), in addition to this it has a virtually unlimited optical fleet since without the need for any adapter you can mount all the old Minolta optics and the new Sony with A-plug. the machine then has a solid and tropicalized body, with all the buttons easily reachable, and for those who have had Minolta it will not be difficult to notice the similarities. I also own an a900 which is pretty much the same machine with a 5% wider viewfinder and a faster burst of 2 FPS that undoubtedly make it better, usually side by side in all the jobs I do

yongnuo_35_f2Yongnuo YN 35mm f/2

Pros: price, bright, light, cluttered

Cons: noisy af, too platic, aberrations, build quality

Opinion: Good lens for what it costs, it is torva on 100 euros a little everywhere and with this price it is the cheapest 35mm f2 lens I have seen so far. It has some points that play in its favor, a featherweight and a pocket footprint that allow you to take it anywhere, if you can shoot you know the triangle of exposure and play a little with post production you have fun and you may also have nice satisfactions, then in the macro it also makes some sense. Unfortunately the pros end here, it remains a super cheap lens and you can see where they saved, that is, in the materials, all plastic and also assembled malino, there are games that make the lens move even several mm on the transverse plane, which could compromise the photo, moreover the motor of autofocus is really slow and noisy, it also vibrates, the lenses then suffer from large chromatic aberrations due to the poor quality of the optical glasses used , the aberrations are visible at any opening from the tests I have done, obviously with extreme photographs and slow under stress backlight. At this price on the market of the new you will not find anything so bright so for me it is money well spent, for a battle lens that still does what you ask her, hard but does, if you are not satisfied with this lens learn to take pictures

canon_30dCanon 30D

Pros: ergonomics, robustness, battery life, photo rendering, autofocus

Cons: no live view, dense pixel not very high, no automatic sensor cleaning

Opinion: This is not a REFLEX but it is a tank, as soon as you take it in your hand you feel it, the grip seems made specifically to be grasped, the weight is not heavy or light, the right that makes it feel solid, the controls are all in the right place, reminiscent of those of the Minolta SLRs and the first Sony, the beautiful bright and faithful viewfinder immediately makes you enter the action, it has a good speed of autofocus to be old and has an exceptional photographic rendering despite having only 8 megapixels, this is not at all a point against it indeed, I find it right also because it allows you to take full advantage of the full dynamic range and light available even at high iso, tried up to 1600 and the noise is almost imperceptible , I own several Canon reflexes and I believe that with what it costs today (something more than 120/150 euros is enough for a machine body in good condition) you can take it with your eyes closed and it is much better than all the plastic entry levels (this one has the magnesium body). Of course there are no more modern features like wireless connectivity and live view and videos, but if you wanted cool stuff you would buy yourself a mirrorless

canon_1000dCanon 1000D

Pros: economical, light and intuitive

Cons: quality images, plastic, no auto focus in live view, autofocus, few MP, noise already present at 400 iso, no video, no spot mode

Opinion: it was my first reflex machine body, purchased in bundle with the usual 18-55 in 2007, despite taking it around the world, North Africa, east coast of the USA, West and Eastern Carabi and Northern Europe, I took about 30 thousand shots but I never understood it and I never managed to use it completely but I always had to support another machine , thanks to the sensor with a low pixel density and not very prone to high isos, in fact already at 400 you have an annoying noise which makes it practically a paperweight in certain situations, another very annoying thing is the live view that does not have automatic focus and forces you to use manual fire, which is ignoble if you want to take a picture at a concert maybe holding the car raised in the crowd. One point in favour is the price that is low which makes it better than any tank such as the 1DS3, that is, with this you can go there in the desert without problems, make them take dust and mud water so much with what costs is considered almost disposable, it remains excellent for those who want to start

sony_75-300Sony 75-300mm f/4.5-5.6

Pros: focus speed, good zoom, weight

Cons: plasticose

Opinion: This is one of the two lenses That I always carry with me when I am traveling with my Sony Aps-C (A500), I found it used but as new at a rock-bottomed price and it never disappointed me, the project dates back to the old Minolta "beercan" which unlike this was made of metal, more durable but also heavier, the diameter of the lenses is 55mm that is much smaller than many focal peer counterparts , which makes it both light (less glass) and more compact, also with lenses so light autofocus is really fast and quiet, since the AF motor is integrated into the machine body if with this lens you have noisy AF or AF problems it means that the problem is in the machine body and not in the lens. I took various shots both naturalistic and sports and to finish the astronomical night photo, in every condition I found it always ready, despite the poor focal opening I always found it bright for what it has to offer, at F4.5 it is also quite sharp, from the best of itself from F8 up, the chromatic aberrations are mild and easily negligible and correctable in PP I highly recommend it, as far as I'm concerned it's a lens that I'll never abandon

tamron_70-300macroTamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di LD Macro

Pros: good paperweight

Cons: weight comparable to the same focal points but with stabilization, low light, slow autofocus and noisy engine, plastic everywhere, chromatic aberrations and vignettes at every focal and every opening

Opinion: this was in my spite my first reflex lens, purchased in 2005 new and used on Canon 3000N first and then on 1000D and 90D, it never satisfied me, indeed I was always disappointed, the project I find old and pasty, brightness absent at every opening and every focal point, not to mention its autofocus engine , slow with ring and very noisy and not precise engine, the weight then is a record thing to be a plasticone, for some years now I have been using it as a paperweight since it is the only possible and common sense use that this optics can have

sony_a500Sony A500

Pros: Intuitive from the first approach, for the band in which it is located, the slot for double memory is convenient, screen, live view

Cons: low-luminous optical viewfinder, difficult to spot AF points

Opinion: I have this room already for some time, I have to say that it is really well built, very solid first impression, the buttons are easy to reach and the menu is intuitive in this helps a lot. the live view is one of the strengths of this machine, but on the other side the viewfinder is really disre lit and you struggle to locate the AF points. the resolution is low but nothing too crippling
