nikon_af70-210f4Nikon AF 70-210mm f/4

Pros: But what do I need to list? Just look at the photos it takes...

Cons: Read above...

Opinion: Sometimes I really laugh, criticizing a lens designed and built almost 40 years ago is really crazy, according to my point of view of course. It is not an extremely simple lens to use, but if instead of listing its flaws such as, slow autofocus in poor light conditions or front lens that rotates, lack of VR... and so on and so forth... Maybe it would be the case to learn how to use it (maybe setting the camera to manual) seriously I mean, then it really gives beautiful photos, engraved, clean with excellent colors. I bought one for 100 sesterces and comparing it with my 70-200 vr 2.8 it's a bit below of course, but I think we can define a consequential logic. Someone wrote that a diaphragm 4 is a bit soft... Well even the 50 1.4 is almost "unusable" when wide open, so do we throw it away? Maybe we can learn to shoot at 8 or 11 by raising the shutter speed, maybe even using a tripod, why not? NO, now every 100-150 euro lens of the old generation is almost always used in P or A pose, etc... Then come the "mange" who knows why... look at the photos that Francesco D'ambrosio took for example, many are made at F4/4.5 in my opinion they are excellent, of course light right experience etc ... But the lens is always the one in question. But as I've written before, it's just a personal opinion... Luckily it's still free... Good job everyone.

nikon_d3Nikon D3

Pros: ,Comfortable to hold, intuitive, solid, high iso, battery life... in other words fantastic.

Cons: Finding cons to this machine is really difficult, in my opinion none.

Opinion: Bought 3 days ago by a sports photographer who has ceased the activity, paid little more than nothing, has 430,000 shots, taken only for the curiosity to try a FF ... well tomorrow I put on sale my D300s and D90, and I look for one with a few shots, from my point of view is simply fantastic, a few pixels? They are enough and advance from my point of view, I tried it with different objectives, 85-1.8 -50-1.8- 28-70-2.8 etc ... up to the mediocre 35-70 3.3-4.5, well even with this lens it gave me more than acceptable results I would say good, I do not feel absolutely heavy, it is comfortable to hold commands at the reach of "fingers" are the first impressions of course, but I do not think I will change my mind easily. Just read the reviews before mine and look at the photos here, thanks to juza and its subscribers, often really competent. Rating 10

nikkor_h85_f1-8Nikon Nikkor-H 85mm f/1.8

Pros: Total sharpness, versatility, robustness, very precise.

Cons: Never tried it.

Opinion: I have this lens for about 35 years, I used it everywhere, portraits, landscapes, street, but above all I used it a lot as a stage photographer in television studios, it has never betrayed me even in fairly critical light conditions, while using kodak 160 iso tungsten (I would like to remember that at that time it was photographed in analog so no PP and if you were wrong they were kicks in c... from the agency) the results were excellent, colors, engraving, soft blur, on the B / W I used Agfa 35 and it was deadly you could print a 70x100 and zero grain, the same was true for the kodak 64 asa transparent ... (which I often printed in Cibacrhome) this thanks also to the dear "old" Nikon F2s an unbeatable combination from my point of view ... exceptional also on my D300s, in short, what to say, I agree with Vittorio Barretta, a lens little considered perhaps because now almost unobtainable, almost unknown by photographers "peas" but certainly very much loved by the "old men" who had it. I wouldn't sell it even under torture. :))) I saw that RCE has one for sale at about 400 "shields" from my point of view it is worth them all. Perhaps sometimes it is true: old hen makes good broth. Meditate people, meditate :)))

nikon_f2Nikon F2

Pros: You can use it all day as a hammer after which you go to work in the studio, on the streets, anywhere and you don't miss a picture.

Cons: NOBODY

Opinion: I used the F2s (if I remember correctly with the dp2) for several years with the lenses 55 mm 1.2- 35 mm 1.4 and 85 mm 1.8 nikkor fixed lenses, for every kind of work, with these lenses you could do almost everything (apart from sport of course) when I worked for a commercial TV as a stage photographer (to date I think the most famous) I carried two f2 on one mounted the 55.1,2 and on the second a 80-200 focal 2.8 if I remember correctly... then I used a kodak 160 iso tungsten film, and at the end of the work no PP of course ... I think I "burned" maybe twenty photos in I do not know how many years ... heavy? :)))))))) On TV you caught 9 episodes out of 10: singers, dancers etc ... (all people who stood still waiting for you to naturally shoot :))))) ) ergo not to miss even a shot "carpe diem," I mounted an MD2 and (at that time a 5 fps monster) between motordrive full of batteries, machine and lens you had to go to the gym to keep it still, maybe shooting at 1/60, last but not least once you set the iso, you had to move the shutter speeds with your right hand, the diaphragm ring with the left, focus, with the second ring, roll the light meter, and then Bang!!! Well the photos were incredible, the lenses did not forgive you, but they gave you a lot if you knew how to move working on the times and the diaphragms ... I miss him??? Absolutely NO for the simple reason that I still have 3 that I keep with pride and total passion ... and I will NEVER sell! Currently I use a D300s with the old BG, dated, but "you have to give it" if you want it to give you, a bit like the extraordinary queen of 35 mm cameras. THE Nikon F2.
