The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Sigma 24mm f/3.5 DG DN C Pros: Must-have street lens combined with Sony sensors that optimize the conversion to black and white, videocentric, functional, af, lightness, size, field of view, distortion correction, contrast Cons: None to be a sigma wide angle and not zeiss Opinion: Lens tried a couple of days, I think it is a justified expense 500 coffees where together with the video need you combine the versatility of the street to date with camera bodies with powerful ibis such as a7cii etc you get freehand videos usable for different purposes, intrinsic lightness factor affects stabilization .. very functional for street and architecture, sensible lens on Sony sensors for those who love contrasted monochrome and do not want to spend madness for zeiss which in my opinion are heavier even if brighter, a feature that in a wide angle is not needed if you already have an excellent minimum focusing distance ... sent on March 24, 2024 |
 | Viltrox AF 20mm f/2.8 Pros: Compact, sharp and contrasty, low distortion, cost Cons: Chromatic aberration Opinion: Small and versatile lens for shooting points excellent for weddings or Street, I do not deny the perplexity about the distortion being a 20 mm, but I must say that all in all it is fine and it is much more controlled in this sense than the tamron, for what it costs and for the focal length that it is in my opinion offers a sulperior image quality to a smartphone and in addition stylistically speaking it is not that you can show up for wedding with the latest generation mobile phone to make a service sent on January 06, 2024 |
 | Sony FE 55mm f/1.8 ZA Sonnar T* Pros: Optics that are worth a system Cons: Nobody Opinion: Really analog bokeh, color rendering that stands out from Sony rendering, very small lens and fun to use, af selector, great for portraits, street, architecture .. today you can spend little and combine it with dated bodies such as A7III becoming a fundamental complement of a Sony layette, in my way of seeing the portrait I prefer the 55 combined with the 135 sent on January 04, 2024 |
 | Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art Pros: Medium format rendering, specific for portraits suitable for conscious choices Cons: Unknown to me Opinion: Optics that on mirrorless does not need micro-adjustment, therefore very reliable on Sony bodies, coming from the experience of the 105 art on a73, this does better on the af side, bokeh from medium format can be deduced from the front lens .. that said, the cost for what it offers is much more advantageous than a Samyang or the native Sony, at that price you get us a scrap of 135 L f2 adapted that performs worse in everything sent on January 04, 2024 |
 | Fujifilm XF 56mm f/1.2 R APD Pros: Progressive and soft bokeh without hard lines like the wr or the old 1.2 , color rendering , weight , cost used today Cons: Af better than 60 macro , but far from the wr version , does not involve a real disturbance if you work in single af with bodies from xt3 onwards Opinion: This lens is close to the brenizer effect because of the focal length not excessively long and for the blurred not brutal, pleasant and contextualizing, the color rendering is very similar to the medium format GFX, as colors I feel fully satisfied by the jpg, obviously I was fought between viltrox 75 1.2 and the adp, I preferred the latter because of the yield very close to what can be called a film mood, sharp but in the same soft, different from the yield of modern lenses such as the Art or precisely the Viltrox Pro .. 14/09/2023 , I confirm that the adp spreads the bokeh and makes it more buttery without losing sharpness on the selective maf where it is resolving more than the smooth 56 R , the af seemed usable on xs10 with afs and spot point , lightness to scare that improves the possibility of shooting without stress , definitive kit to be combined with ff dslr 1dx and the second series of the biancone version is f2.8 sent on September 09, 2023 |
 | Canon 5D Mark II Pros: Simple , robust , battery , central af , file paste Cons: Hesitant in critical light situations, isos relatively intolerant to high sensitivities Opinion: I spend three words for this machine body: pure, essential, functional. Pure, because it was born for a pro audience that wants to do only photography despite the magic lantern has also been used in Hollywood to shoot some films in the past years, essential because its controls are extremely intuitive, functional because for the battery capacity and for the intrinsic quality of the file it can be used for artistic / professional purposes. sent on July 29, 2023 |
 | Venus Laowa CF 10mm f/4 Pros: Compact , sharp, light weight , construction , ring nuts , correct , 15 mm FF , very good colors , very good vignetting for high contrast monochrome photography , non-existent chromatic aberrations , nice defined star flare , edge sharpness good , not very good , but better than other Fuji lenses . Cons: The price, you can get a used 14 xf or a 16 1.4 xf, but you'll never get that lightness and versatility of a 15mm Opinion: Lens with saturated colors and well balanced and neutral, they do not tend towards the cold but not even towards the warm, this colorimetry I find very useful to define the chromatic contrasts in the photo. 130 gr , rings suitable for Fuji , I think to mount it on xt2 x static or xs10 for street dynamics with ibis to dilate the times , f8 f11 does not create diffraction and remains a little sharper at the edges , considering that already at TA it is sharp, after the Fuji 14 mm 2.8 xf , I wondered if the 9 mm lowa zero-D was the solution , but its too high price made me lean towards the 14, while this slightly more affordable pancake lens seemed to me the right compromise, not wanting to weigh down the backpack. Update 26/11/2023 : Vignetting is not a problem for the high-contrast black and white that I practice in the street, but as soon as I allow myself to do landscaping, unfortunately I am disappointed, I don't think I'll sell it because it's fun, but I have to take a serious wide-angle like my old 14 xf sent on April 29, 2023 |
 | Fujifilm X-T2 Pros: Great camera body, simple intuitive, price in 2023 Cons: No one if taken as a second professional body only for photography and some video on tripod Opinion: Camera body Made in japan, colors to my taste more beautiful than xt3 and xt4, I combined it with xs10, the smarling of the t3 I recycled for the t2, simple menu, keys in the right place, nice viewfinder, has what you need to make a good photograph. Double slot and tropicalization, with a fast afs. Taken for 400 euros it is worth the expense, if you already have a stabilized body. sent on April 28, 2023 |
 | Fujifilm XF 60mm f/2.4 R Macro Pros: Image quality, bokeh , multipurpose , light , color , sharpness , naturalness , compact , 90 mm on FF, cost used Cons: Nobody Opinion: Taken from RCE Padova by Marco Anzani to 340 euros including shipping costs, on Fuji xs10 with a macro and a totally adjustable screen, with its 200 gr do what you want in the composition, for me it is a perfect combo for the portrait, if you want to seek originality in the pdr, sharp, natural colors but full-bodied, 90 mm perfect for portrait, af in single good for static portrait, lens that if taken because you know how to take full advantage of it has an unbeatable value for money sent on April 04, 2023 |
 | Fujifilm XF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 R LM OIS WR Pros: Lightweight, af, wr, quiet, ois, cost, overall quality Cons: Lens correction, good sharpness but not at the top Opinion: Very functional lens that if you think of multiplying it with a TC you will have a slight decrease in non-stellar sharpness on the maximum focal lengths, so it is useless to talk again about why not multiply it. Excellent lens in general, better can not be found as a curve mtf on 70-300 in general, I took it to relax with my Weimaraner, photos always in focus with Xt3 and af small area setting the af on the front displacement, the only flaw that when I see the images rich in detail almost medium format of the 56 wr and 23 wr, I see the images produced by this lens and then I remain bad, the 50-140 too heavy and impossible in the movement while you have to be agile to understand the behavior of the dynamic action and all in all so I stop at 70-300 without big pretensions. Lens above average but not spatial, rating 9.4 sent on December 17, 2022 |
 | Fujifilm XF 56mm f/1.2 R WR Pros: A TA 1.2 sharp rendering and progression of the soft blur, af precise even if not lightning, exceptional minimum distance in relation to the aperture. Cons: The price due to the period. Opinion: Lens that does better than a 90 wr in terms of sharpness being an f 1.2, a minimum distance more than filmic, crazy engraving, 400 gr little weight compared to the one of 800 gr, remains fixed on the Xt3 with Bg, I will try to test it well on 18/12/2022 for the portrait open day that I organized, I will update as soon as possible. Well... at the end of the evening I processed only jpg in the car for some cut, I did not intervene on the color, very well the colors, the aberrations are contained, but not non-existent as I thought without having squeezed it after this day, the sharpness I confirm how close it can to the medium format, the autofocus is much improved compared to the previous version, the minimum distance I needed for the second newborn of the day, I still reserve to do other heavy sessions but shooting in Raf , the jpg as beautiful as they can give artifacts , so I will update shortly. sent on December 15, 2022 |
 | Fujifilm X-PRO1 Pros: Colors , sensor , bnw , engraving file . Cons: None if you know the uses Opinion: Pro1 taken only for street , makes fixed pair with my 14 Xf 2.8 . Shooting with that lens I have the maf locked on long distances and the diaphragm closed at f11, with this camera body equipped with handgrip I enjoy looking for puddles taking advantage of the angle of view of 21 mm, I play with the times setting the camera much earlier depending on the idea that jumps into my head. I was amazed by the colors, its whites and blacks in combination with a lens with high micro contrast and a sensor that produces a super engraved file, impressive colorimetry, never seen such a cleaning in complementary colors sent on December 15, 2022 |
 | Fujifilm XF 33mm f/1.4 R LM WR Pros: Angle of view , versatile , fast af , silent , videocentric , resolute , pleasant bokeh , colors Cons: Lens hood Opinion: For the price proposed on the market, it is close to sigma art but with yield on Fuji colors, so it is a 50 mm all-rounder that qualitatively brings each photo back to high standards, it is very reliable, it can also become the only optics of the kit without worries. It offers much more than the viltrox and its predecessor 35 Xf 1.4 which marries a different philosophy but technically on paper it is inferior, in the practical side with tropicalization and af worthy and made Fuji . For me there were no doubts, not having an xh2s with updated af I preferred to take a normal lens to a super telephoto one that should be accompanied by a very evolved body in terms of af for naturalistic and sport, preferring the portrait and the street I preferred to complete the backhoe of the bright sent on September 29, 2022 |
 | Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max Pros: All Cons: Nothing Opinion: A dear friend of mine Salvatore Polito, has created an app for iphone 13 that gives the possibility not only to get the raw, but to be able to better manage it in all the parameters and presets to create a feeling not only smart for the average user, but also for the photography enthusiast. The file of this phone is excellent at iso base with good lighting, if it focuses on the study of light, this small sensor manages to give beautiful satisfaction, certainly not at the level of SLR or mirror with specific lenses, however in its compromise it seems great for street photography and for videos in cinema mode .. truly functional for web use sent on August 15, 2022 |
 | Fujifilm XF 14mm f/2.8 R Pros: Love for its colors, no distortion, small, light, macro sharpness, intense contrast. Cons: None for the use for which it is intended Opinion: Love love love , exploring the meanders of my unconscious I learned how much a wide angle like this can tell my visions in a sharp and intense way . I could give up all the lenses of my kit, except for this little gem. Colors, contrasts, sharpness, correction, angle of view, af usable for the purposes for which this lens was born. sent on August 11, 2022 |
 | Fujifilm X-T3 Pros: Rings, af, used cost, solidity, durability, dedicated battery grip, sensor, operating capabilities. Cons: For photos no one , for video absence of the stabilizer , but it is not a real cons as on tripod or gimbal produces an exceptional quality with the 4k 60 fps Opinion: Hybrid medium more dedicated to photography, coming from xt4 I can say that the xt3 is identical in almost all respects only that it costs less! So I preferred two bodies , a stabilized xs10 flanked by this xt3 , with fixed Fuji optics , 23 1.4 wr fixed on xs10 and 50 1.0 wr fixed on xt3 , the 14 2.8 Xf taken for leisure in the street and other genres where you need a wide angle with zero distortions ... I mount it on xt3 because of the best screen for the street . sent on August 11, 2022 |
 | Fujifilm XF 10-24mm f/4 R OIS Pros: Focal range , sharpness , ois , distortion Cons: It is not wr ... but on the used there can be spend less for the first version Opinion: An extraordinary lens that for sharpness and focal range offers a lot, even its stabilizer makes shooting much smoother and more cinematic .. I'm happy with my choice, the Fuji optical park is really great : now I have the 23 wr 1.4 the 50 wr 1.0 and this magnificent wide angle stabilized ... light and sharp , at the price of used more from this lens could not ask for sent on June 24, 2022 |
 | Fujifilm XF 23mm f/1.4 R LM WR Pros: Crisp at TA, af optimized for video, contained distortions, contained vignetting, closed aperture star effect, record-breaking minimum focusing distance, Fuji colors kept at 100%, lightweight, tropicalized Cons: The abbreviation OIS is missing, but it would not have been so clear for lack of some optical group for the management of spaces Opinion: The 23 Fuji 1.4 R WR is a separate category from the other 23 mm simil 35mm , the viltrox is cold and not optimized for the ibis of Fuji camera bodies , the 23 f2 wr has fewer fields of use and the focus is not bad but it is not like this 1.4 II , the 23 1.4 old Fuji fails to keep up in the slightest with this new in every comparison is sawn . This 23 mm 1.4 II represents a fundamental lens to manage ceremonies between video and photo leads you to a unique solution on a stabilized body, I would be willing to sell the Fuji 50 1.0 wr and my other two bodies to mount this wonder on an xh2 , I would manage everything great with a single solution , on ff there is no 35 mm f 2 with the intrinsic qualities of this lens , the same SONY GMs would be in trouble with this wonder sent on June 14, 2022 |
 | Fujifilm XF 23mm f/2 R WR Pros: Colors , sharpness , silent , af , minimum distance , light , tropicalized , angle of view Cons: Nobody Opinion: Excellent lens for videos and reportage, very functional, light and tropicalized, offers much more saturated colors than Fuji's 23 1.4 with a smaller minimum distance, on a focal length equivalent to 35 mm on apsc you do not look for the detachment of the planes, as even a 1.4 would be a 35 f2.2, which is relatively useless in the portrait if we consider some important factors taking as a reference ff the sigma art 35 mm f 1.2. So on apsc ML is perfect and as the guy of pro mirrorless reviews in comparison with L 1.4 , this f2 wins big for general yield if you do not pay attention to the only image quality that differs slightly for sharpness with an advantage on colors by the f2 that you can also find looking at the galleries . Now I have accompanied my xt1 with the 16 2.8 wr, the 23 wr f 2 and the 50 wr f1, with a total tropicalization without more problems of dust deposits on the front lenses, while my xs10 will be fixed with this 23 f2 for video and street / reportage. sent on June 09, 2022 |
 | Viltrox AF 13mm f/1.4 Pros: Wide sincere and not distorting, sharp, saturated colors, AC controlled, film use, landscape and even portraiture. Cons: Overexposure, maybe for me it's even better, as I always tend to underexpose coming from Canon. Opinion: Lens in pre-order , I will definitely update the review later , I got to analyze the raf with this lens and what to say? I was undecided between the 14 Xf 2.8 and the old Fuji 23 1.4 ... in the end trying on a whim a 35 equivalent with the 23 tt artisan 1.4 , I realized how much I can not communicate with this focal length , for me the 35 remains a wide-angle focal too normal that does not involve me in the story ... so this viltrox from a preliminary analysis , is equivalent to a 20 mm that detaches like an f2 at less than 20 cm of minimum distance , which for me is a further evolution in the ways of expressing myself with my shooting points . I will update the review , after filling the gallery dedicated to the lens sent on June 03, 2022 |
 | TTArtisan APS-C 23mm f/1.4 Pros: multipurpose focal length, good TA sharpness, excellent vignetting for the portrait, contained diffraction, excellent result at f8 for street, warm colors. Cons: low distortion when used for landscape Opinion: lens purchased to detach the subject from the background in the self-portrait at TA with a minimum focusing distance below 20 cm, with an angle of view useful for creating creative compositions and managing with the flippable screen in posing , having this macro ability it becomes extremely easy to pose and manage the maf with one hand while posing in front of the camera in the self-portrait . I shot some videos and I was thrilled, less than the ibis of the xs10, it was better the xt-4.. having said that with a steady hand you create very filmic videos, it has warm shades and a sharpness not to be underestimated, for me it is a must have for those who have fuji, the color and engraving of the xtrans on this lens make it well, obvious if you mount on a sensor that creates veiled and little engraved files, it is not enhanced. for me vote 10 considering the ratio , quality-price . with the money saved for the viltrox , I put in the kit an xpro 1 with this fixed lens. sent on May 07, 2022 |
 | Fujifilm X-S10 Pros: Af for the price range , BSI sensor, IBIS , Grip , intelligent, intuitive , ability to set long exposures over 30 sec , connectivity , flippable screen , possibility of shooting in the dark with Fuji 50 1.0 Cons: None for the price. Opinion: A xt4 without the 4k in 60fps in 400 mbps, marginal stuff even if you make videos but not cinema , because obviously there the pp is felt in the shooting and therefore the file must have an excellent workability , with a lot of information .. something that if an average user were to manage a file for pure kinematic use, his computer would explode. In my opinion currently it is the best Fuji costs 400 euros less than the xt4 and with this Delta I took the 16 wr f2.8 with the fuji 50 wr f1.0 , I could also opt for the 90 wr and 14 xf 2.8 on xt4 , but I would have had an unbridgeable void for ordinary situations or for the street . sent on December 26, 2021 |
 | Fujifilm XF 16mm f/2.8 R WR Pros: Sharp at TA , quite correct in distortion , fast af , light , tropicalized , great for video on 5-axis IBIS . Cons: For those like me who are used to manual lenses, the focus ring when looking for infinity. Opinion: Excellent lens with the best value for money in its category, as soon as I have the chance I will take the lowa zero-d 9 mm , because the focus ring when you go to infinity is not easy to manage in manual , while in the lenses born for this purpose everything is simpler . That said, this lens has so many pros that it is annoying to list them, an almost perfect wide angle that becomes perfect for the selling price exposed to the public. Must have. sent on December 23, 2021 |
 | Fujifilm XF 50mm f/1.0 R WR Pros: Sharp, impressive image quality. Cons: Nobody Opinion: I took fuji's 50 f1.0, my idea was to match that nice 26 mpx backlit sensor without AA filter to the optical qualities of the one ... besides L af performing for a portrait lens, with the new Fuji af system you can do a bit of everything, I want to push it to the limit in different fields of use, I am very fascinated by the quality of the images produced by the xtrans combo and the one .. in the press I think I will be thrilled ! This choice of quality and relative compactness if we think of the sx-10 combined with the 50 f1.0 , can prove functional for street , events , urban , portrait , Dog Photography , why not ? It's a nice solution, I also missed a new 16 f2.8. Optics released in 2019 that should be sharp and fast for street or video . In short, I can say that I have found peace, for the genres that I treat, if we think that to do street I went around with a TTArtisan 17 mm APSC f 1.4 is a xt1, with fixed aperture at f8 and focusing endlessly, I pulled out wonderful prints ... with the 50 if I close at f8 or even less at 5.6 surely with the new sensor I will bring out something impressive sent on December 22, 2021 |
 | TTArtisan APS-C 17mm f/1.4 Pros: contained distortion, vignetting absent at closed apertures, good resolution in the central area at TA, negligible cost, value for money. Cons: Flare. Opinion: after a period of reflection for the addition of a wide angle in my kit, I decide to combine a wide lens to my xt1 preferring it to the canon with its 16 mm rf 2.8 .. despite being less pushed with its 25.5mm equivalents , firstly because the ttartisan costs twice less and then for a matter of taste , I prefer the sensor of the xt1 , in canon I do not appreciate enough the incisiveness of the file , if not with L optics . so I opted for the best compromise in terms of image quality, in fact this lens defends itself very well, both at TA and closed at f8 where the diffraction phenomena do not yet begin to invade the frame, excellent for street. urban, landscape and portraits with pushed pdr . It has a lot of flare , you can make nice videos , you will find a fluid focus ring . in short, I have the barrel full and the wife drunk, I will take in the future the fuji 23 wr, flat but functional for second body machine saves events. sent on November 19, 2021 |
 | Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 L II USM Pros: character , sharpness , bokeh Cons: af , flare . Opinion: suggestive lens that enjoys legendary fame, even today only in the canon house with the rf you have something similar, similar because the new lenses are all apodized and filter too much light making it enter less in the sensor, ccosa follows? that an f 1.2 will be slightly more diaphragmed . The lens has a poetic ability to tell the shot and communicates whenever it is used. alas I have the tendency to isolate the subject more and I love madly the 135 mm L, cmq I recommend it to all portraitists looking for the wow effect at TA, even if at closed apertures it becomes very interesting in the studio. sent on October 22, 2021 |
 | Fujifilm X-T1 Pros: ridiculous price in 2020 , pro body , ergonomics , quality files , no aa filter , intuitive controls , becomes the extension of the photographer. Cons: nobody Opinion: I state that before I had a xt4, I had too much technology and honestly the yield it offered was not up to my expectations, for two factors: autofocus and pdc justified by the apsc sensor, where at home fuji is compensated with expensive lenses that are not so much brighter than other houses, see the comparison with the new samyang 18 mm f 2.8 x ff with the 14 fuji 2.8 , both with little distortion and sharp but one is f4 equivalent, the other not and costs twice as much as fuji x apsc. At the end of the fair on my xt1 I mounted a nice helios sharp with speedbooster and I use that fantastic focus peacking with magnification, it seems really born for this l xt1, also the screen is much more solid than the xt4 and you can use it as it was once done with the cockpit chambers sent on October 22, 2021 |
 | Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 L USM Pros: af , bright , saturated and battered colors , adaptable on canon R Cons: it is not an apodized lens like the recent ones that claim to be 1.2 or 0.95 and then they are so correct that it filters a light as if they were diaphragmed at 1.8 Opinion: if you are looking for a perfect lens, look elsewhere .. if you look in my gallery you will find a comparison with the sigma 105 art 1.4 used at TA compared to the big one 85, not only the big one was brighter, but it blur more with that half stop of gain, reasoning a 105 being longer should blur more and instead the 135 L f 2 did even better than the sigma. In the end I decided to buy this 50 1.2 to match it with my beloved 135 L on a humble canon rp where I always remain fully satisfied even for dynamic photos . sent on October 22, 2021 |
 | Canon EOS RP Pros: Af, sensor full of details, Canon colors, L optics, fully adjustable screen, fluid, simple. Cons: High iso , 4K af side, battery Opinion: At 1000 you have a machine derived from the most emblazoned R, af that does not miss a shot in dynamics with my 135 L, warm colors, good sharpness, 26 mpx rich in detail, the Ef optics are better than on the DSRL, very versatile, FHD videos excellent especially for the canon dual pixel af, great for the web. Better machine than a 5diii and a 6dii , certainly does not have the sensor of the 5d IV , but its af is better and that Screen adjustable by many possibilities in self-portraits , especially with my 50 1.2 pull out a lot of beautiful compositions . Buy 2 or three batteries, mount good optics and you will be amazed by this small full frame as long as you know the limits and use it on a tripod or stady / flycam for FHD videos.

 | Canon 5D Pros: Colors , clean files , minimalist , battery life , central af . Cons: None as long as you know how to photograph in manual. Opinion: Excellent camera body, without budget problems you can decide to invest in this body with a 100mm f2 for portraiture, all used lens + body combo for less than 500 € , if tomorrow I were to lose my equipment , I would definitely fall back on this concrete choice. The files are saturated and engraved, perhaps due to the absence of the AA filter, these 12 mpx are crispy and if a person is accustomed to precision in the compositional phase, without any crop the file is more beautiful than some big mpx. sent on October 16, 2021 |
 | Canon EF 135mm f/2.0 L USM Pros: Stamp, Af, colors, vintage, very artistic. Cons: The age for those who love to keep up with the times, for those who love the folklore of half vintage tones can be said that it has no flaws. Opinion: I had the big one, then I go on the statistics of the most used juza lenses and I see that despite the fact that at the time I had both lenses, I shot more with the 135 mm ... objectively found by juza statistics on my profile . And why? I bought this lens again because I sincerely think that today beyond the excellent value for money you can not find lenses with wonderful imperfections like this . Not even the Big One has such a personality . I flanked this lens to the 50 L 1.2 , on Fuji Xt1 I took a 23 mm f 2 wr to have a mediocre 35 mm for street . Instead the L lenses I make them rejuvenate with canon's Mirrorless system, with a humble Rp that like Af is reactive on these wonderful lenses. sent on October 16, 2021 |
 | Nikon D780 Pros: Sensor, processor, af in Lv 273 points Af, eye-tracking, exposure times up to 900 sec, backward compatible with AI optics, functional optical park with Tamron G2 for responsiveness at the highest levels. Cons: Nobody, I'm sincere and not biased, those who have a good knowledge of the lenses orient themselves on Tamron and with this beast you also have stabilization with earthquake-proof optics. Opinion: An operational camera body that give space to dynamism and creativity, under an eye and an expert hand becomes with the combination of the right lenses a sharpshooter with 99% of shots to score, I find it absolutely complete for those like me who have had many bodies of any manufacturer, the yellow black house has managed to risk implementing the potential of SLRs and compensating with the potential of mirrorless, hybrid machine with edges , does not fear rivals , are the others that selectively must fear . Unique segment of its kind. Revolutionary. Rating 10 sent on October 09, 2021 |
 | Fujifilm X-E2 Pros: File, file compatible with dated Lr versions, essential body, Fuji optical kit, if you break the camera possibility of immediately cushioning another. Cons: For the price absolutely no cons . Opinion: Perfect machine for street-urban-portrait-reportage, I also put cityscape. Objectively the files it produces are visually very beautiful, thanks also to the 16.3 mpx x-trans sensor that does not create demosaicization with old versions of Lr. So in 2021 the problem is: why take a 61 mpx machine when you are not able to make an emphasizing pp with your IOS or Windows war remnants?

 | Fujifilm XF 18-55 f/2.8-4R LM OIS Pros: Stellar optics for the Aps-c format, at TA my specimen is sharp, I don't know how it is possible but it is, I will have been lucky. Sharpness at the level of FF optics, fast af suitable for video, silent, fast, fine workmanship and ridiculous cost. Cons: Decay at the edges but it is normal if you use a TA , closing the problem solves great . Opinion: This 18-55 and the 35 xf 1.4, with the 90 wr, are the three lenses that should not be missing in a Fuji kit, at least for my artistic sensitivity, are three unique lenses that even with a speedbooster we can get on FF optics, because the respective minimum distances, OIS, l Af, the quality of the materials are really excellent. I don't know what to write because I completed my Fuji kit. I have the Helios complete with speedbooster, the xt4, the second body xt100 , the 35 xf 1.4 , the 90 wr , the 56 1.2 (just because it is cool but I will resell it ), the legendary 18 -55 and finally an old Nikkor 135 adapted equivalent on apsc of a 210 mm FF format. All complete with filters. For a value for money unimaginable for those who come like me from FF Sony , Canon , Nikon . State-of-the-art quality. sent on September 21, 2021 |
 | Fujifilm XF 90mm f/2 R LM WR Pros: Perfect triptych with : 35 xf , 56 xf , 90 conclusive ... It remains the craving of the 16 mm but honestly I prefer a lightning af . The 90 is specific and lightning fast. Cons: New price Opinion: Alas I gave in like a child, accomplice of the monkey was my brilliant xt4 to which I asked: with what lens would you express all the speed of your AF ? Here he replied 90 mm f 2 ! Sorry for the rant of words vain a communication camera / soul, but honestly I wanted to create a competitive combo for dog photography in portraits, especially for those in motion using the afc and the zone system. sent on September 06, 2021 |
 | Fujifilm XF 35mm f/1.4 R Pros: Quality / price, very artistic, minimum distance, vintage colors, 50 mm vision, 50 mm versatility, unique stamp, bokeh strangely more progressive than a 50mm full frame Cons: Absolutely none, unique project of its kind. Opinion: Interesting focal length, extremely unique in its behavior, lens for apsc that behaves like full frame 50 mm, a bokeh of the same level, I owned the 50 mm art for Sony and I can say that the softness of the xf makes the bokeh seem creamier but without losing detail in the file. In short, with this lens I feel like having the barrel full and the wife drunk. Af on xt4 absolutely usable also for action photos. sent on September 03, 2021 |
 | Fujifilm XF 56mm f/1.2 R Pros: Shadows , colors , detail , versatility, Af-s quite fast Cons: Price Opinion: Lens for portraitists with Caravaggio's stamp and strongly vintage personality, very happy with the combination with my Xt4 that gives me a very performing and versatile combination. I reconnect to the counter mentioned the price: the price of the lens is high, but if we combine this lens with 35 xf and a body like xt4, overall we will find the economic advantage of the Fuji system. It offers you pro features at semi-pro prices from Sony, enviable for afc and eyes tracking but for its ecosystem no, even with the excellent Sigma optics. sent on September 03, 2021 |
 | Fujifilm X-T100 Pros: Quality /price Cons: None for the price Opinion: Bayer sensor better for its price range, af sé parameterized on af-s on zone system and face and eyes tracking, on static subjects or in slight movement more efficient than some entrylevel, scandalous afc that can not stand the comparison with a simple Sony a6000 , which offers an excellent afc but bad file detail because of the invasive AA filter , considering the expense for xt100 and its xf optics already present in my kit 56 and 35 with l xt4 , I was satisfied with the screen , the good sensor and the eye face tracking that is not so discounted in this price range .

 | Fujifilm X-T4 Pros: Afs , afc , ibis , operation, jpg files , articulated screen , xf optics , battery , lack of AA filter , tropicalization , support processing files from machine to dated pc , film simulations , shutter tested for 300,000 cycles Cons: Nothing Opinion: Very complete machine with the possibility of being spent in different genres, moreover every creative idea is easily applicable. Excellent xf optics, possibility to use the xt4 processor to process files from a PC with a special cable. I will update the review later after intensive use in the field, for the moment I reserve the right to provide further information. Update 11/09/2021 : Afc with single absurd maf point , more precise and responsive than Sony a7iii , I did not expect such a performance from this xt4 coupled to 90mm wr , I was thrilled to the point of deciding to keep my Fuji kit consisting of 35 xf 1.4 , 56 1.2 xf and 90 wr .. coming soon on 18 -55 f2.8 -4 to have all the coverage I need, for sure as soon as I can open the studio I take a 'xt3 used by rce possibly in 2022 to 700 coffees. sent on August 14, 2021 |
 | Zenit Helios 44M-6 58mm f/2.0 Pros: Crazy Cons: nobody Opinion: Excellent lens that gives the best of itself in the minimum distances of focus with the aperture at full aperture, colors, sharpness and characteristic and enveloping bokeh, a ridiculous price for a lens of this mold and character. I strongly recommend the purchase even to those who do not know how to focus, will learn with pleasure as soon as they discover the capabilities of this wonderful lens sent on August 05, 2021 |
 | GoPro Hero9 Black Pros: Stabilization, sensor, dual LCD, battery, 10 mt water resistant Cons: nobody Opinion: I made a smart purchase for the sport that I practice with my weimaraner Grey Shadow , creative videos , photos with absurd pdr in any condition. If you have acrobatic follies to accomplish this gopro is a bomb , I will try to conquer this sponsor. A promise I make to my little Shadow, I want him to have fun until the end of his days with the adventures land sea that Sicily offers sent on July 19, 2021 |
 | Samyang AF 18mm f/2.8 FE Pros: Framing, af, lightness, sharpness Cons: nobody Opinion: Wonderful lens, if you take it on Amazon it is better not to risk taking a failed copy , I am enthusiastic about this lens when compared to the Batis I just come to thank Samyang for giving vent to the creativity of photographers with such a derisory budget and with respectable performance and worthy of some publications or prints that you want , in every mode of use I find it excellent. Thank you Samyang. This ultra-grandangular focal and my 105 art 1.4 are perfect on my Sony A7iii for the way I interpret artistic photography. Not being a matrimonialist I don't care about coverage from 24-70 or 70-200, I just want quality and versatility being true to my favorite PDRs. So I found peace with the Sony system. In 1 week of use I will redo another more in-depth review sent on April 19, 2021 |
 | Sigma 35mm f/1.2 DG DN Art Pros: Bokeh, sharpness to TA, usability, robustness. Cons: nobody. Opinion: Optics all do, yes! But not generalist like the others, completely characteristic and unmistakable, thanks to the new optical schemes on this art, monstrous three-dimensionality despite not opening much more than 1.4, it is completely different compression, I love this lens for versatility, I explain better : make art all round without being too selective and specific on a single genre. sent on April 17, 2021 |
 | Samyang AF 24mm f/2.8 FE Pros: It costs little, quiet and precise af great for video and unbeatable weight. Cons: It is not a lens for photography, image quality, loss of contrast in the backlights, resolve of 10 mpx, completely obscene colorimetry, afc not precise in action photography. Opinion: A lens to make good quality videos, for the photo is to be binned, justifies the purchase of the wide-ranging wide-angle focal point for videos, but there is always the 18 mm sammy that x vlogging does better in everything even in the photographic sector. Grade 1 , because it made me vomit the image quality , I do not do lomograph but at least I would have expected to diaphragm closed a mediocre quality but not even this , the fact that it is pocket on my a7iii is a pro for videos that at the moment I need for self-production , as soon as I have two lire I take some interesting fixed wide angle such as the 14 mm art 1.8 , I crave it insanely more than the 35 f1.2 art which has a spectacular rendering although it is a boring and monotonous classic as a choice of every photographer to complete sent on April 15, 2021 |
 | Sony A6100 Pros: Af, Tipper screen, sensor, video, ease of use Cons: Battery life , cost . Opinion: For what it offers it costs dearly because I find the A6400 more complete and better, from the viewfinder, to the video, to the af. The a6100 is not worth the expense. I do not recommend it not because it is not a good car but because a person with a head should pay it less than 650 euros, resold with an addition of 100 euros for the A6400. Sigma lenses on this body are a pro and the ease of the menu for the amateur sent on April 12, 2021 |
 | Sony A7 III Pros: Sensor , Af , stabilizer, optics , video Cons: nobody Opinion: Brilliant machine body and with an infinite battery, I love this machine because it has useful potential for any kind of photos, it is a pleasure to buy good lenses for this body especially some Sigma and Samyang i Gm I leave them to those who have A1 or A9ii, I believe that nano zeiss and 55 are the only exceptions at least for me . sent on April 03, 2021 |
 | Sigma 105mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Pros: Sharpness , bokeh superior to the Big One L series, Af precise Cons: Nobody Opinion: Lens for portraitists, possibility to exploit it in afc as the af despite not being a GM is quite responsive but not lightning, sharpness never seen in any lens , extreme opening on 105 mm and results in a picturesque blurry at the highest levels, interesting focal with its 105 mm is a hybrid between 85 mm and 135 mm but with extreme opening , with this lens you have almost the barrel full and the wife drunk, the competitor Sony 100 mm 1.4 will be more responsive on the Af plane, with a compromise of 5 mm less and less optical groups, so better Af and decrease in sharpness . The 105 was born by portrait consequently I prefer extreme sharpness with 5 mm more to TA than a lightning lens, at this point I would have bought a 70 -200 GM without infamy and without praise.

 | Canon 5D Mark III Pros: Sharpness sensor, Functional Af, battery, colors , Raw very workable Cons: None, despite his age. Opinion: With this iso 100 machine I've come up with some very marked details from the raw file , much more than from modern sensors , the printed photos are a hyperrealist poem, I sold the mirror kit to return to reflex with this body and a 70 200 L 2.8, I do not look for other bodies or lenses because I work on an easel for landscape or I delight in the portrait and also in the videos nn I need the afc as I use the maf in manual and the HD video of this sensor I find satisfactory, the 4k is heavy for my MacBook, the files of the photographs are also not heavy and therefore the amount of work can be intense without being slow and heavy to manage. sent on March 04, 2021 |
 | Sigma 16mm f/1.4 DC DN C Pros: Sharpness , af , bokeh , brightness . Cons: Nobody Opinion: Very artistic lens I think the best of its series, it is equivalent to a 24 mm f 1.8 that if well used on latest generation APSC sensors gives an image quality very close to the Ff with equivalent focal on 35 mm sensor, in nikon house this solution costs a waste and the image quality just look at how many optical groups and elements have the lenses and for the treatment of competing lenses to understand their quality and overall resolve. I think this lens is more than a solver for a 24mpx sensor, which the home G series nikon I think is analogous but senseless on Big mpx sensors. My conclusion is: excellent for reportage, set portrait, urban, street, landscapes and astro. sent on November 22, 2020 |
 | Samyang AF 85mm f/1.4 FE/RF Pros: Sharpness, responsive af, warm colors, great file quality, very creamy bokeh, good minimum focus distance. Cons: For the cost no cons to highlight Opinion: Very amazed by an underrated lens, it proves professional, in portraiture offers its best side, optics that when combined with the latest generation Sony from a nice satisfaction , interesting also on apsc , the use on the a6400 for a focal equivalent to a 135 mm f 2.2 specific for portraiture or cinophile photography , less expensive choice of a 200 f2.0 on ff. sent on November 22, 2020 |
 | Sony A6400 Pros: Autofocus, white balance, better file quality than Canon sensors, improved jpgs, high isos comparable almost to some ff, video. Cons: Small efv although with great vision, batteries. Opinion: Excellent good quality video and photo machine to use on the web, with a BG and a smarling for the lateral positioning of the microphone, the tiltable screen is useful and usable, machine that does not make you want the switch to ff, when combined with very bright optics such as sigma. Excellent for both vlogging and self-portraits, I gladly sold my Sony A7 and A7s for new apsc sigma kit and this body, I press that I had a derisory kit consisting of a manual optics and a 50 art with the two bodies mentioned above, so I did not feel the weight, only advantages with the new af of the a6400 derived from the A9 sent on November 22, 2020 |
