nikon_af28-105dNikon AF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 D

Pros: Image quality, focal range, macro function, compactness, second-hand price.

Cons: Disabling macro function difficult, lens hood a bit bulky

Opinion: I've had this lens for a year taken for my D700, to think about the photos it takes after 25 years is truly amazing. Designed for analogue, it also manages to churn out respectable files on digital. To say that I am satisfied is an understatement. The focus is safe and effective and also has a decent brightness. It is an ideal all-purpose lens for those who want to approach the world of photography without spending a fortune.

nikon_d700Nikon D700

Pros: Sturdiness, paste of beautiful photo files. It only makes photos no videos!!

Cons: In the eyes of yesterday, no one, in today's eyes, finding a flaw in it makes no sense.

Opinion: I wanted a Full Frame camera, as a long-time APS-C owner I chose the Nikon D700 for a simple reason: the price. It is obvious that a camera from 15 years ago has important limitations in today's eyes, but the substance of this camera is still amazing. The files it gives away are beautiful and it doesn't matter if it's only a 12 MPX. The beauty of his photos makes us forget this detail. Then it's beautiful, robust and substantial. Well, with this philosophy, it is a 10 machine, if we then expect it to do what today's machines do, then we have to change our point of view, because those who orient themselves on such a machine do it out of pure passion, without many ifs and buts!

fujifilm_xt3Fujifilm X-T3

Pros: Almost perfect machine.

Cons: If she had the stabilization she would have been perfect

Opinion: Beautiful light robust double slot machine excellent autofocus has all the features to be a top of the range at the height of the emblazoned Sony Nikon and Canon. The photo and video quality is great for being a 2018 camera. Even in 2022 it makes sense to buy it at a price around 1000 euros. The only flaw is the lack of stabilization. For the rest a fairy tale!!

fujifilm_55-200oisFujifilm XF 55-200mm f/3.5-4.8 R LM OIS

Pros: Lightness, size, sharpness, stabilization, quality/price ratio

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: Excellent telephoto zoom of high amateur range, it stands out for the wide and complementary focal range to the 18-55 that with small dimensions and weight, combined with excellent quality makes it perfect for landscaping and street photography. Equipped with good brightness and excellent sharpness. After a while I use it I must say that it amazes me more and more in a positive sense, especially thinking that I bought it at a very good price The lens is built in Japan and the build quality is up to all the other Fuji lenses. Obviously it is not a professional lens and especially in portraiture it can not stand comparison with the brother 50-140 2.8 but for the weight and price, about half make it very competitive. Another consideration is the lack of WR unlike the 70-300 and the block of the lens that walking could stretch but for me it is not a problem since it is not a professional lens, instead it has a nice stabilization unlock button that the 70-300 does not have and you have to go and unlock it in the car.

fujifilm_14mmFujifilm XF 14mm f/2.8 R

Pros: Sharp light beautiful, a love at first sight.

Cons: Autofuocus a bit noisy and absence of tropicalization.

Opinion: Fantastic lens for those who have to take pictures in the mountains in the city. Very sharp, bright and light, it lends itself to keeping it around your neck for a day without noticing the weight and bulk. The distortion is really minimal and the colors combined with my xt-3 are fantastic. What about if Fuji produced it tropicalized with new generation autofocis it would be perfect but unfortunately perfection does not exist.

fujifilm_18-55oisFujifilm XF 18-55 f/2.8-4R LM OIS

Pros: Excellent mechanical build quality, feeling of robustness. Beautiful photos, sharp and very vivid colors. The excellent stabilization makes this lens very valid in the realization of the movies.

Cons: I did not find any faults but only some compromises.

Opinion: Excellent speed in focusing, the sharpness is excellent in the center and good at the edges and the photos it makes are really nice. The lens is very light beautiful and comfortable. For the rest I have not found obvious defects for this reason my overall judgment is more than good. It will not be a professional lens but not even kit because it is really good. I would be curious to compare it with the 16 55 to see the differences not going to enlarge the image to 300% but looking at it on a 100% monitor without thinking about it for an hour. I think many would not notice the difference.
