The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Tamron SP 35mm f/1.8 Di VC USD Pros: Sharpness, compact, not too heavy, rather precise MAF, faithful colors, absence of chromatic aberrations or distortions. Cons: For now, nothing. Opinion: I've had several 35mm, and now I've got this one. It has nothing to envy to an Art series in terms of sharpness and three-dimensionality of the image, pleasant blurred but nothing special. The performance is already excellent at 1.8, improves from f.2.8 up to f5.6 after which it remains unchanged until f13 (I did not notice any diffraction or loss of sharpness even at f16). Chromatic aberrations almost completely absent in backlight, no distortion (tested with in-camera corrections turned off). Colors faithful to reality, not too pumped up or dull. MAF precise and quite fast, silent, there are better lenses (but I don't see the point, since we are at 35mm and we won't have to hook a hare!). More compact than other lenses designed for SLRs, well balanced on my R6 mkII. If you are looking for a bright 35 with excellent performance, value for money the Tamron is unbeatable. He will remain my travel companion for a long time. sent on October 03, 2024 |
 | Canon RF 16mm f/2.8 STM Pros: Lightweight and compact. Cons: Switching between MF and AF must be done from the machine's menu. Opinion: Taken for an interior job. Honestly, I was amazed. All the "problems" that plague wide-angles are corrected in camera, so you shoot and you have a raw file already cleaned, so to speak. No vignetting. Slight chromatic aberration, excellent "starry" backlight (obviously using a closed aperture). Good sharpness from 5.6 upwards (but even a subject close to f3.2-4 can be done), ideal aperture f8 up to f10, after which diffraction occurs. All this provided that you know how to shoot with a 16mm, that is, to be level with the camera avoiding converging verticals. Value for money is not beat. It is not certain that if you spend more than a thousand euros for a professional wide-angle lens you will get much more than this lens that costs under 300 €. I recommend it to anyone who wants to have fun with a wide-angle lens and have quality photos without breaking the bank. sent on April 07, 2024 |
 | Canon RF 100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS USM Pros: Sharpness, stabilization, weight, footprint Cons: Nothing. Opinion: I had sigma 105 f2.8 and 180 f3.5, I tried the laowa 100 2x as well. With Canon it's a different story, and I would never go back. These RF optics make it a pleasure to shoot even with challenging focal lengths like this. Comfortable, the right size, balanced weight, the dials positioned exactly where they need to be to touch them at the right time, fluid, precise to the millimeter (as befits a macro), being stabilized I pushed myself to shoot handheld at shutter speeds of a 1/20-15 without too many problems (really superb, considering that it is a macro and getting sharp photos with slow shutter speeds is difficult). Pretty fast autofocus, but it depends a lot if you use it often or not (in macros, except in cases of particularly fast insects, I prefer the manual). The SA ring is an interesting addition: for those who don't know, it allows you to "move closer" or "farther away" the subject by changing the bokeh of the background, an effect that can be useful and very creative. Those who, like me, are passionate about macro and have a Canon mirrorless I highly recommend investing the money to buy it because the fun is guaranteed. sent on November 26, 2023 |
 | Canon RF 35mm f/1.8 Macro IS STM Pros: Lightweight, high-performance, bright and affordable. Cons: I would say nothing. Opinion: Among the best cheap lenses in the RF sector (not L series). Lightweight and compact, you forget you've put it on and it's a pleasure to shoot wherever you go. Bright enough for difficult situations, great blur, works excellently between f8 and f11, but is also fine at f4-5.6 (depending on the use you make of it). Together with the RF 85 f2 they are the pair that I always carry with me and with which I can really do everything. Highly recommended! sent on November 17, 2023 |
 | Canon RF 85mm f/2 Macro IS STM Pros: Sharpness, easy handling... all. Cons: AF speed? Opinion: I was looking for an 85 to make views and close-ups, and in the end I decided to take it. I've been using it for a few weeks now and it never disappoints me. Excellent sharpness at f2, still improves from 2.8 to 4, you can close up to f11 before seeing hints of diffraction and drop in sharpness. So for landscapes, ok. Photos with little light (sunrise, sunset, evening, closed places) ok, portraits is excellent thanks to the detachment of the subject from the background and a really nice bokeh. The selective dial is very useful, I use it to adjust the aperture. In manual instead I find the ring of the focus soft and very precise, also in the screen even appears the hyperfocal distance. Quality price difficult to find better, if you want more you have to go on the L series that costs 7/8 times more! sent on August 20, 2023 |
 | Canon RF 85mm f/1.2 L USM DS Pros: Sharpness, bokeh, colors, everything. Cons: Price and weight. Opinion: Tried on one occasion, and what can I say... A boulder that is nice to hold, but as soon as you put your eye in the viewfinder and shoots a paradise appears in the live view. Dreamy, fairytale bokeh, perfect colors, zero smudges at the corners (full opening), if one owns it he will never disassemble it from the camera body, magnificent! Too bad it costs an eye of the head and for an amateur I do not think it is worth it. sent on August 04, 2023 |
 | Sigma 24-105mm f/4 DG OS HSM Art Pros: Solid construction, precise rings, generally works well. Cons: weight, diffraction, poor stabilization... Opinion: This specimen puzzles me. If you close a couple of stops to reach a more or less optimal sharpness, and you have good light, ok (otherwise if the shot is slow you immediately risk the shake, then stabilization of dubious utility). From f8 to f11 we are at the limit, in the sense that going beyond it suffers from an evident diffraction that in some cases compromises the photo. Even the various focal lengths behave differently. 24mm ok, from 35 to 70 leaves something to be desired, at 105 it can go as long as you do not close the diaphragm too much. Overall judgment: from an Art series I expected a security, but it is clear that Sigma excels in fixed (with which I have never encountered problems of any kind). As a handyman, even if pesantuccio, I recognize that it is comfortable but I would never leave the other lenses at home for the reasons I have listed. sent on July 29, 2023 |
 | Canon EOS R6 Mark II Pros: All Cons: On/lock/off button switch Opinion: After trying both the R6 and the R6 mark II I can write a few lines about it. The jump from SLR to these mirrorless cameras is huge, and many know it better than me. With the SLR you learn to photograph, the mirrorless simplifies and facilitates you in many situations. Ergonomics: top, holds in one hand without problems, even with much heavier optics you do not feel too much unbalance. Weight: content. Autofocus: improved compared to the previous one, but small, it was already very precise and fast. Very sharp display, like the viewfinder. The files it churns out are excellent, excellent details, excellent dynamic range, amazing ISO seal, stabilizer helps to shoot with really absurd times (in some cases I managed to shoot at half a second holding it with one hand). To conclude, it is worth the money it costs, in my opinion more intuitive and immediate than the older sister R5 who did not convince me. sent on December 11, 2022 |
 | Sigma 180mm f/3.5 EX DG HSM Macro Pros: All Cons: Nothing Opinion: Superlative lens. Like all macro lenses, it does not have a fast (indeed, rather slow) autofocus but in macro photography it does not make sense. Exceptional sharpness already at 5.6, the more you close the aperture the more it increases, giving remarkable images. Very useful for shy subjects because the focal length allows you to stay at a distance of almost one meter, obtaining a respectable magnification even on full-frame. It has a certain weight, but you get used to it. I also used it for landscapes and wildlife, impeccable. Out of production, but if you find it used do not miss it! sent on August 18, 2022 |
 | Canon 80D Pros: All. Cons: ISO. Opinion: Used for years, mounting Canon L series and Sigma Art series lenses. Really versatile camera, great for all kinds of photography. Fairly fast AF, really excellent sensor definition, returns a truly remarkable detail. It was a pleasure to use it and it gave me a lot of satisfaction, I sold it for transition to full frame. Being an aps-c sensor you must know (for those of you who do not know) that the density of megapixels on a small sensor easily leads to high levels of digital noise, especially in situations where it is underexposed. So all good below 800 iso, but when you get above 1000 the grain is almost impossible to eliminate if not losing the photo itself. If you are new to it and want a respectable entry-level that will satisfy you for years, the 80D is perfect; but if and when you feel the need for better performance (I'm talking about iso and dynamic range), obviously you will have to look at full-frame (reflex or even mirrorless). sent on July 08, 2022 |
 | Tamron 17-35mm f/2.8-4 Di OSD Pros: Very light, excellent sharpness, contained flare, minimal distortion. Cons: It is not a superlative lens with exceptional sharpness. Opinion: I tried it in different light conditions and I must say that it defends itself very well. It manages very well the backlight, contained flares (but still present), good sharpness in the shadowed areas and, in any case, more than acceptable results in situations of strong contrast. Vignette very few0, its 17mm are interesting and give satisfaction; the sharpness at full aperture is not bad, from f4 onwards it improves considerably. Ideal diaphragm, in my opinion, f 6.3. The comparison I made with my Sigma Art 24 1.4 (I know it is not a fair comparison, moreover it is a fixed, but I only have this to compare the lenses): if you buy the Tamron to make landscapes or as an all-rounder for excursions, we say that it is a great choice because, if you know how to use, you will take home photos in almost all circumstances. If you are looking for excellence from every point of view, there is little to say in front of Sigma. Its 24mm are clean, zero distortion, gives a sharpness already at full aperture unthinkable for other mid-high range lenses. Where the Tamron touched the limit, with Sigma I obtained not only greater precision for the most distant details and rather neutral colors, but a tone was perceived, a background character that transpired from the photos giving something that other lenses do not do. If you find it used under 500 € do not miss it, otherwise you can find better. sent on June 12, 2022 |
 | Sigma 24mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Pros: All Cons: Nothing Opinion: There is little to say about the Art series, it speaks for itself. In this case you have a wide angle not too pushed, ideal for landscapes, architecture and portraits set thanks to the minimum focusing distance of 25 cm. Superlative sharpness, almost no distortion, ditto for chromatic aberration, flares in the backlight, etc ... In short, it gives great satisfaction and is worth what it costs. The lens is very robust and the focus ring very smooth and precise, which allows a really millimeter adjustment in the shots. When you get used to it, it's hard to do without it. sent on January 16, 2022 |
 | Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM Pros: All Cons: Nothing Opinion: Excellent optics on both aps-c and full-frame. Excellent sharpness even at full aperture, at f8 extraordinary, does not suffer from chromatic aberration nor appear annoying flares in the backlight. I have used it in many situations, always with noteworthy results. I don't part with it anymore. Excellent for urban views, portraits and pure landscapes. It is priced at a ridiculous price and is worth much more than certain Canon L-series lenses. sent on November 13, 2021 |
 | Canon 5Ds R Pros: Definition, sensor sharpness, dynamic range, holds very high ISO. Cons: Nothing. Opinion: I went from an 80D to this one, making the leap to full-frame... What can I say, another world! Another approach, though. This camera returns photos of impeccable quality as long as you know how to shoot in certain conditions, so you have to "think" before shooting (a bit like you did with film). Do not think of using it freehand in low light conditions because it will emphasize even more your mistakes. The micro-shake is around the corner, if you do not use the necessary precautions. It tolerates even very high ISO and a dynamic range that allows you to distinguish many shades in the transition between shadows and light; the 50 mpx make the difference in the crop (sometimes I crop even a fifth of the entire frame without losing quality), but be careful: forget about simply good optics, otherwise it would be like mounting poor tires on a Ferrari! You will see the difference only with excellent lenses, otherwise - here too - the defects of the mounted lenses will be amplified. I use it with Sigma Art series and Canon L series, and I tell you that it churns out files of a remarkable definition, files that can be managed even with PCs a little old (like mine). I learned to use it, and the more I use it the more its potential comes out, it is an extraordinary photographic tool that requires a certain hand to make the best! From the naturalistic (despite the burst of only 5 frames per second) to the macro and landscapes, there is no area where I have disappointed. It was a car a bit snubbed compared to the famous Mark IV, but as far as I'm concerned it has nothing to envy to the majority of SLRs in circulation! sent on October 12, 2021 |
