![]() | Fujifilm X-T4 Pros: Compact, intuitive and immediate dials, immediate jpg files, AF appropriate to the category of instrument, sensor stabilization, not complex. Wonderful optics Cons: Sensor protection in the lens change. Lack of other brands of bayonet optics (yes! I like to say bayonet as I said before!) Fuji. Opinion: I have been a "general" amateur photographer for 35 years, used to intuitively turning dials with one finger. The old-fashioned way. I don't need a lightning af for what I do (no sports photos or photographic hunting, otherwise I would have gone on other brands). I come from Pentax film, then Canon 6D (wonderful), Sony (for me they are not cameras: they are computers with a lens attached in front, so completely opposite to my way of photographing). Jpg ready for those who, like me, are good-mouthed and have always taken photos out of the film that you then had to keep as they were because you couldn't edit them anyway. It is a compact and lightweight machine. The other characteristics can be found written around. Ultimately: if you are not a specialist, if you know how to take photos and rely on your eye and if you don't want to drag tons of equipment with you, this little one is for you. sent on May 01, 2025 |
![]() | Fujifilm XF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 R LM OIS WR Pros: Lightweight, compact, sharp Cons: I have a good mouth. I can't find any. Opinion: Maybe if I was a professional (???) of technical photography, which has to go and see if in the corners the lens reaches the maximum "acuteness" because the photographed subject actually requires it, then I could find faults... But for normal photos, with normal subjects, in normal conditions it is perfect. I don't print photos of one meter by two anyway. Colors? MicroContrast? Aberrations? There's Photoshop that fixes everything. The photo is taken by the photographer and you like it or you don't like it. Blurred, blurred, discolored... If it tells something, it's beautiful. If it doesn't tell anything you can also have a Super-apo-ultra-definition... And you throw away the photo sent on April 23, 2025 |
![]() | Samyang AF 85mm f/1.4 EF Pros: material quality, very light, good sharpness from f2 onwards, good containment of reflections Cons: fire point difficulty in MF, chromatic aberrations in the out-of-focus, not finely calibrated for AF (at least my model had a constabable FF), vignetting (structural with this type of lens). Opinion: light (aluminum) but solid, compact, beautiful to see and good finishes. Autofocus fast enough, critical to use in mf for the very low depth of field note. As soon as I took I encountered a serious front focus problem that I partially corrected in the car. I say partially because a "pelino" could still be corrected but the calibration scale had reached its maximum. Since many report ff and bf problems for this manufacturer I would not like that, in addition to the wide tolerances of Asian production, there was not a kind of "desired defect" in order to be able to sell dock stations as well. Focus ring maybe too smooth. I'd like to be more clutched. in backlight I do not notice annoying reflections despite having a very generous frontal lens. However, leave the lampshed mounted to defend the lens. The defects are typical of an unbleached light optics: the well-known vignetting at full opening, at least for me, is quite annoying but countervailable of clean room. The sharpness at f 1.4 is not much but at f 1.8 it already improves. From f 2 onwards nothing to say. A sore point are the chromatic aberrations, also these partially correctible: at f 1.4, radially and in the backlight parts, they are quite evident. They decrease proportionally to the closing of the diaphragm. Good lampshed, discreet packaging. A good purchase if bought not at full price. Excellent QP ratio when taken used. Update: Compared for a full day to the glorious old focal pari SIGMA, both freehand and stand trials. basically they have the same resolving power at the center. same incisiveness at all openings, both in the center and you have edges. the sigma has less, but of very little, vignetting and in any case still manageable in post production. the sigma, to the touch, is more solid, heavier and longer. the maf ring is direct grip while in the samyang it is electro-assassist (I do not like it but they are tastes). The samy beats the sigma in fire speed. the latter struggles to focus in low light conditions. chapter apart from chromatic aberrations: I had never used lenses so large. ac are proportionate to the size of the lenses. this defect is identical, in quantity, in both optics. I repeat that for SLRs, in absences of fire assistance aids, the point of fire remains really difficult to find. sent on January 20, 2021 |
