The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | AmazonBasics - Zaino per fotocamera e accessori Pros: Cost, capacity, robustness for the price Cons: Excessive softness, there is no way to "lock" the zipper (later I'll explain), compartments a bit wobbly Opinion: Purchased a few years ago, it has become my faithful companion especially in the most demanding outings (see days in Venice). I must say that it is quite capacious, I manage to put a Canon 5D with 28-135 zoom and I add a 50ino, a 35-80 zoom and even a couple of vintage M42 lenses. And of course a couple of spare batteries. The two transparent pockets with zip closure inside the main compartment (memory cards, bacteria, level, cleaning cloths...) are useful - Of course, when fully loaded I always have the impression that the solidity could be improved, but so far I have never had any problems. Perhaps it is due to the fact that being a fairly soft backpack it cannot guarantee the stiffness and perhaps the protection that would be waiting for us, but I repeat: so far no problem. Another thing that I appreciate, using it, is the soft part on the back that doesn't hurt and that in summer helps to absorb sweat (I come from an old FIAM backpack all in nylon: stratospheric sweat) and then it also has the band that hooks at the waist lifting shoulders and back from the weight (which never hurts if you travel loaded). Drawback: it is not given as waterproof so I bought a waterproof backpack cover in a well-known chain of sporting goods for a few euros and I take it with me. Another thing I don't like is that you can't lock zips. In fact, if I load too much, the backpack deforms (see softness) and the zipper closures tend to open if not positioned at the bottom. I would have preferred it to have eyelets where you could insert a small carabiner to avoid any risk of accidental opening. And then have a minimum of safety in the crowd (but really minimal...). The straps for carrying the tripod are also a bit short, but as indicated by others, it is an easily fixed problem. Conclusion: if you don't need a professional backpack that's more than fine. sent on October 07, 2024 |
 | Zeiss Vario-Sonnar 28-85mm f/3.3-4 (C/Y) Pros: Sharpness, colors, very solid construction Cons: weight, difficulty in focusing if used with digital, weight (did I mention it?), huge front lens! Opinion: "Old school" lens, the construction is solid: glass and metal that affect the weight of the lens. It is difficult to find it on the second-hand market, those who have it keep it or have already given it away years ago to move on to something else. If, on the other hand, you find it, think about it: in its time it cost a kidney, today it will not be very cheap in the strict sense but considering the quality level and the starting price, in my opinion it may be worth it. I find it difficult to use it with my bare hands, I always prefer to put it on the tripod, both with the Contax 159 (with the winder) and with the Canon 5D. but I have small hands and this perhaps affects ... The quality for me is indisputable, on the other hand if I use it with film it is the death of it. With digital I find it excellent, perhaps because the few pixels of the 5D still make it suitable, I can't judge the performance with modern cameras and their current resolutions. What is certain is that with age eyesight worsens and focusing manually on a modern screen creates a bit of difficulty. To be taken into account. Here, it has a monstrous front lens: 82mm in diameter, so flares are always lurking if photographed with the sun in the frame. The pump zoom is a classic Contax/Yashica (I'm used to it) and in fact at the 28mm focal length it distorts a bit. But it's still a zoom and I have other dated fixed lenses that do worse. sent on September 25, 2024 |
 | Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Pros: Second-hand price, yield, opening Cons: AF a bit indecisive, lack of distance scale Opinion: I state that the 50mm focal length is not my favorite (I prefer the 35mm doing mainly landscapes), so I don't use it much. I use it on an old 5D mk1, and for that I use it, I didn't find any problems except for the AF a bit hesitant, but I didn't find it noisy as others have reported. The yield for me is more than acceptable, and then having bought it used for less than 100 euros I can't really complain. Here, I miss the scale of distances, especially the rare times I want to use it to photograph close objects perhaps from somewhat particular angles or shots. But they are really trivialities... For the rest, nothing to say. sent on September 25, 2024 |
 | Nikon D90 Pros: good construction; for his age excellent camera; top display; good rear display; battery life Cons: then no one, now feels the evolution of technology; iso starting from 200 Opinion: It was my first DSLR for a long time. Bought used and with a few shots from a retailer with unn 24-14 3.5 - 5.6 FF & with dedicated grip. Having bought it in 2010 it was still very current and I must say that I have always been satisfied, and still am, with the results I get. Of course it has 12Mp, and now maybe they are few, but then they were the norm and I must say that even now they can have their say. Of course the D90 cannot be compared to a current machine, technology has made great strides and ours is and is dated, but the feeling of solidity, safety and the impression of semi-professional was and remains intact. Now the noise is heard, the fact that the sensitivity starts from 200 iso and ends at 3200.... All things that do not matter if you are looking for a good camera to start with or if you do not give too much weight to technology. If you are looking for high technology, many Mp, latest generation gadgets do not take it. but if you are looking for a robust, reliable body (never cleaned the sensor, just to say ...), a gem that still desso is able in good hands to give excellent results do not let it escape. sent on May 09, 2022 |
 | Nikon AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8 G Pros: sharp, lightweight, flexible, bright Cons: plastic perhaps Opinion: On my D90 it is equivalent to a 50ino that is not really my favorite focal length, and not to a 35mm but honestly I paid so little that I could not miss it. My preferences apart I found it excellent: excellent brightness, excellent sharpness and with the matching hood there are no problems of flare or infiltration. And since it's fashionable, it seems to me to have a great obokeh, but I don't understand much of it... In short, maybe I don't use it, but in bags it is always there. sent on May 03, 2022 |
 | Nikon AF-S DX 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED VR Pros: Flexible in use, an all-rounder; good sharpness on my D90. Great VR system Cons: In the backlight it is not the best (but just put the hood supplied and things improve); brightness not excellent at long focal lengths, but it is not such a big problem Opinion: Lens that I use practically always on my trusty D90. Shooting especially landscapes having an equivalent 24mm (focal length that I love) for me is the best. The focal range won't be at the highest level, but it's never been a problem for my favorite genre. Combined with two fixed some the 35mm 2.8 DX and the old 50mm 1.8 FF (if and when I want to use more "noble" lenses) covers all the situations in which I personally can run into. Robust and light has "almost" never disappointed me, even if you have to learn to know its limits especially in the backlight (use the hood supplied). Fully satisfied. sent on April 21, 2022 |
 | Canon 5D Pros: FF, solidity, compatibility with old lenses, ease of use, reminds me of old films, photo quality Cons: Battery life, unreliable screen, sensor that gets dirty very easily Opinion: Coming from analog (but I also have a Nikon D90), I find myself with a bit of C/Y and M42 mount lenses that I still use, but that I thought I could also use digitally. So after inquiring I decided that the solution can only be a Canon FF. Last year I found a 5D with an old 28-135 zoom and bought it. Not needing dozens of Mpx or who knows what technology the 5D was the right purchase: with adapter rings I can mount my vintage lenses with all their peculiarities (especially the M42) and get very interesting results. First of all, as soon as you take it in hand you have a feeling of solidity and impressive "concreteness". It's big and heavy but you get used to it quickly so much so that when I shoot with the D90 I feel like I have a toy in my hand. It does not have who knows what functions, but if you have to take photos very often too many are useless, especially using manual focus lenses and having grown up with the Yaschica 80s. :-) The results with vintage lenses are good, and I agree with those who before me compared the shots of 5D to those of old films, the good ones. With a minimum intervention in post-production you get unique shots as a yield. Being above all a landscaper and / or not taking sports photos or where there is a need for very fast reaction times, often using manual focus lenses (I have a Zeiss Distagon 25mm which is a show on this machine) the problem of autofocus almost never presented to me. And I must say that even when I hold the zoom with which I bought it, precision and vibration reduction did their job. Of course they are not lightning, but in the end it is not for what I bought it. Here, if you plan to use it as I do with old lenses keep in mind two things: 1) the focus is not at all assisted, you have very good eyes (which I do not have), do not trust to put the focus on infinity, it is not always accurate with the old lenses coupled with digital bodies and / or not of the same brand. 2) for the exposure you will have to work in stop-down, that is, you will not see anything in the viewfinder, only if you are exposing too much or too little. And you will have to adjust the apertures on the barrel or the times of the car accordingly. Always focus with the maximum aperture and only then adjust the aperture: if you do the opposite the viewfinder will be too dark. Is all this a problem? Absolutely not. for the old men it will be like going back in time. For newbies it will be a good opportunity to slow down and maybe better understand the dynamics of light / times. To conclude this (perhaps fon too lnga) dissertation, I highly recommend the purchase. it perfectly does what I thought I'd buy it for. but even if you plan to use it with modern lenses and in a "modern" way I do not think it will disappoint you. sent on February 17, 2022 |
