![]() | Sigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM C Pros: Sharpness, autofocus, weight, ergonomics, price Cons: Stabilizer Opinion: Rented for trial, I discounted the pros and cons as described. Too bad. Maybe the rented specimen was not the best quality, but I got tired of doing tests. I had also rented and then bought the Tamron of the same excursion, The first seemed good for almost everything, the second not, especially as stabilization and sharpness over 300 mm, In short, you have to be lucky... sent on February 09, 2025 |
![]() | Nikon Z50 Pros: Ergonomics, light weight, controls, menus, tilting LCD, built-in flash, good raw quality. Cons: Dynamic range, especially in JPG, scarcity of lens choice, autofocus sometimes slow and unresponsive. Opinion: With the Z 18-140 it's a great match ideal on the road, and with the 16-50 it almost becomes a compact. I've tested the various Picture Controls to find the one with the best saturation-sharpness-dynamic range compromise, and it seems to me that the optimal is SD (standard). In fact, it seems to me that as far as dynamic range is concerned, my previous D7500 was better, even though it is said to have the same sensor. It easily "burns" the highlights. You gain on the one hand (weight, handling), you lose on the other (dynamic range, autofocus, which is not exactly lightning fast in every situation). In addition, you do not have an adequate choice of lenses: unless you resort to the FTZ, it is not possible to mount a very useful 18-300 or even a 100-400 of affordable price and weight. Sometimes I'm tempted to switch to Fuji. sent on May 22, 2024 |
![]() | Leica Q2 Monochrom Pros: Construction and materials Cons: Price and electronic viewfinder Opinion: A Leica is Leica with its beautiful optical viewfinder, in my opinion. I would like to say, then, that the photos posted in my opinion do not do so much honor to his majesty Q2: I think that a bit of good post-production to adjust the contrast curve would not hurt. I do not understand the comment that praises the dynamic range but emphasizes the ease of "burning" the highlights ..... so to what extent is a good dynamic range? sent on August 10, 2021 |
![]() | Nikon AF-S 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 G ED VR Pros: Sharpness, color rendering, distortion control, flare resistance, lightness, small footprint, well-exploitable focal excursion on FF, excellent zoom ring rotation, second-hand price, good construction. Cons: Bulky light, slightly less sharp than a fixed, but it is logical that this is the case, and then the differences are minimal. Opinion: Purchased used on Rebuy, I use it on the D610, and I am satisfied. I used a couple of fixes, but I don't regret that; it is the first time that a zoom satisfies me like a fixed, taking into account the comfort and versatility of the former against the optical superiority of the second. Avoiding replacing the lens is a great advantage. sent on November 02, 2020 |
![]() | Zeiss ZE/ZF.2 Distagon T* 25mm f/2.8 Pros: Optical yield, colors, mechanical and optical construction Cons: I don't know, maybe the weight and the size, but very acceptable. And perhaps the very long hike for focus at short distances. Opinion: I have read enough criticism or unenthusiastic opinions about this goal. I've always found it very good. I use it with Nikon D7000 and D5500. The fluid and precise movement of the dial (completely metallic) makes a lot of nostalgia, and almost always does not make regret the autofocus, at least using it for photos of landscapes . It is almost a "macro" for the close distance of MAF. It makes fantastic colors and details with negligible distortion and color aberration. Of course it has its weight, but nothing compared to the Zeiss and other "PRO" of the latest generation. Perhaps the latest model, with f/2, is better, but even this 2.8 gives huge satisfactions. Fantastic object, like any Zeiss. sent on March 23, 2020 |
![]() | Nikon D5500 Pros: Lightness, ergonomics, sensor, HDR from menu, quick menu Cons: pentamirror, second-dial lack, and all that involves a small machine, but you know Opinion: Great travel and hiking car. Compared to other small ones, it seems to me that the viewfinder has an extra hair of magnification and transparency. The lightness and minimal footprint are surprising, and make it more acceptable to pair with heavy lenses. Great sensor and processor, which provide detailed jpeg and with a balanced dynamic range. sent on March 23, 2020 |
