canon_5dCanon 5D

Pros: Excellent color quality, with rich, true-to-life colors. Robust and reliable construction, ideal even in harsh conditions. Wide dynamic range to handle complex highlights and shadows. Precise and versatile autofocus system. Compatibility with a wide range of EF lenses.

Cons: Limited continuous shooting speed for action photography. Nothing else to add

Opinion: I had the opportunity to use the Canon 5D in Madagascar in 2019, and I must say that, despite being used more for leisure than for work, it positively surprised me. The color rendering is exceptional: the colors are vibrant but natural, an aspect that has enriched my shots of landscapes and scenes of everyday life. The robustness of the camera body allowed me to work without worries even in less favorable environments, while the dynamic range proved to be essential to manage the bright light of Madagascar without sacrificing detail in the shadows. While not the ideal choice for those looking for high performance in video or action photography, 5D remains a great option for reportage and work where quality and color fidelity are priorities. It is a camera that, even today, offers satisfaction, especially for those who love authenticity in images.

canon_24-70_v2Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM II

Pros: Extremely versatile focal range, suitable for multiple situations. Constant f/2.8 aperture for excellent depth-of-field control. Robust build quality, resistant to dust and moisture. Fast, accurate and quiet autofocus. Exceptional sharpness throughout the focal range.

Cons: Not negligible weight, not ideal for prolonged use without support. High price, but justified by professional services. Absence of optical stabilization but for those who are used to it it is not a drama.

Opinion: The Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8L USM II proved to be an irreplaceable companion during a reportage in extreme conditions. Its versatility, combined with its outstanding image quality, allowed me to capture every detail with precision and reliability, from large ambient scenes to close-up portraits. The robustness of the lens, combined with excellent sharpness throughout the focal range, allowed me to tackle difficult situations, such as dust and humidity, without hesitation. The constant f/2.8 aperture is a significant advantage, ensuring optimal control over depth of field and excellent light management even in darker contexts. Despite the weight and the absence of optical stabilization, the fast and precise autofocus compensates for these small limitations. For those looking for a versatile and reliable lens for professional work, the 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM II is an excellent choice that is hard to match.

canon_70-200_f2-8is_iiiCanon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS III USM

Pros: Excellent image quality with consistent sharpness throughout the focal range. Constant f/2.8 aperture for soft bokeh and great low-light performance. Very effective image stabilization system (up to 3.5 stops). Robust construction and resistant to dust and weather.

Cons: High weight, not ideal for long handheld sessions. Imposing size, not very discreet for reportage or casual events.

Opinion: The Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS III USM is one of the best telephoto lenses on the market, perfect for professional photographers looking for versatility and high performance. The image quality is extraordinary: impeccable sharpness, vibrant colors and wonderful bokeh thanks to the f/2.8 aperture. This makes it ideal for portraits, sports, wildlife and even landscapes, ensuring excellent results in almost any situation. The extremely effective optical stabilization helps compensate for weight and size, but after long sessions the weight can be tiring, especially without a monopod. The robust construction, typical of the L-series, is an advantage for those working in harsh conditions, but the price makes it a significant investment. In summary, the 70-200mm f/2.8 IS III USM is an exceptional lens, which repays every penny invested with breathtaking images and reliable performance.

canon_50_f1-2Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 L USM

Pros: f/1.2 aperture for exceptional bokeh and low-light performance. Robust and durable build quality, typical of the L series. Excellent sharpness in the center, especially at small apertures. High-level color rendering and contrast.

Cons: Edge sharpness not great at f/1.2. Autofocus not always fast and accurate. Lack of optical stabilization.

Opinion: The Canon EF 50mm f/1.2L USM is a great lens for those looking for a tool that excels at creating emotional images. The f/1.2 aperture is its strong point: it allows you to shoot in low light conditions and produces a creamy and enveloping bokeh, ideal for portraits and artistic shots. The build quality is impeccable, with solid materials and resistance to intensive use that make it an ideal companion even in extreme conditions. It's not perfect, though: the sharpness at the edges wide open leaves a little to be desired, and the autofocus, while quiet, isn't always as fast or accurate as you'd expect from a lens in this range. Additionally, the lack of optical stabilization limits its versatility in some situations. Despite its flaws, the 50mm f/1.2 remains a prime choice for photographers looking for emotion and character in their images, qualities that far outweigh minor technical imperfections.

canon_1dx_iiCanon 1DX Mark II

Pros: Rugged, dust and weather resistant construction, Continuous shooting speed (14 fps). Exceptional ISO performance for working in harsh environments

Cons: Non-articulated display, limiting for some shots, price

Opinion: I use the Canon 1DX Mark II as a photojournalist, especially for black and white in extreme conditions, and I can say that it is a camera that does not disappoint. The solid and durable construction allows you to work without hesitation in hostile environments, whether it's dust, rain or prohibitive temperatures. The sensor offers an astonishing dynamic range, which in black and white allows you to capture every nuance, from the darkest shadow to the brightest white, making every shot deeply expressive. The autofocus is incredibly responsive, even in low-light situations, which is a key feature for capturing moments on the fly. However, weight can become a limit during prolonged reporting, and the size makes it less discreet than more compact models. The fixed display and some less advanced video features also penalize it compared to newer competitors. Despite this, it remains an irreplaceable tool for those who, like me, seek absolute reliability and unparalleled image quality to tell stories in black and white with authenticity and impact.
