fujifilm_56_f1-2Fujifilm XF 56mm f/1.2 R

Pros: packaging, construction, price, f1.2, blurry yield, AF on next jan...

Cons: AF on old gen, maybe lack of WR

Opinion: great nice lens. the packaging is respectable, sold with lampshade, case and microfiber cloth. The weight of 400gr is a fair balancing compromise with all ùfuji machine bodies. the AF performs well on all newer Fuji, especially xt-3, xh-1, xt-30, ex-3 while with previous systems it has a few more attempts. very comfortable the diaphragm diaphragm diaphragm land physically present on the lens. IQ is remarkable even at TA and blurring is very pleasant. the focal length makes it, in my opinion, one of the best portrait optics around, especially in relation to the really competitive price. a lens that is easy to fall in love with and that would be too reductive to use only for portraits. it also lends itself very well to street and, with extension tube, I pulled out macros more than dignified. in short, a piece that can not be missing in a kit worthy of the name.

fujifilm_xt3Fujifilm X-T3

Pros: Ergonomics, weight and transportability, remarkable evf, overhead monitor, outstanding AF, High ISO seal

Cons: The exposure meter tends to underexpose, chaotic menu

Opinion: Great little gem. Purchased as a Christmas present (the beauty of being single is that you choose gifts by yourself;-)) as a second body to be flanked by 6d and 7dii. A few exits are enough and the XT-3 becomes the most used machine. It is really well built, it falls well in the hand and it is light. The AF is really remarkable, fast and precise and with many customization possibilities. The light meter always finds a fair compromise between lights and shadows even though it must be said that it tends to underexpose. The shutter speed dial is a real gem, very comfortable and makes it really vintage in appearance. The shutter in electronic mode makes it extremely quiet and gives way to shoot freehand with slow times. The battery does not have a great autonomy but if you do not keep off the monitor 350 shots or more you take them home. I do not say my on the video industry because I do not know. Ultimately a very nice device. Recommended for beginners Amateurs, given the simplicity of use as well as those more advanced and with more demands

fujifilm_23_f2wrFujifilm XF 23mm f/2 R WR

Pros: compactness, build quality, good chromatic rendering, quality of the blurred, AF lightning and really quiet, weather sealed

Cons: Vignetting at TA, slight loss of sharpness at TA edges, plastic lens hood

Opinion: A really inevitable lens in any outfit worthy of the name. Light and well assembled, tropicalization of all respect and an extremely silent autofocus. The 35mm equivalent focal length makes it perfect for reportage. Therefore a perfect travel optics, ideal for set portraits, architectures and landscaping. Surely the Big Brother F 1.4 is higher but it costs and weighs twice as much. A TA is present a certain vignetting, barely perceptible to f2.8 and completely disappeared at F4 same speech for AC and sharpness at the edges. I conclude by recommending to those who want a handyman light, well built and cheap!

sigma_sd_quattroSigma SD Quattro

Pros: Unique camera, fabulous rendition sensor, extremely rugged, tropicalized, quiet, pure photography, NL outstanding

Cons: Heavy and cumbersome to be an ML, slow AF, battery, buffer, niche tool, best not to go over ISO 1600

Opinion: Absolutely unique camera, at the constructive level it is a real tank, the body is entirely in magnesium and transmits a remarkable sensation of solidity. Personally I consider it one of the best built and assembled photographic devices I have had in hand. Once noted what the SD four can not do, that is, all those genres that require speed and timing, forgetting AF Lightning with thousands of points, leaving the GUIs 15fps, not caring of ultradefinite videos and back to photography Once reasoned, the SD gives moments of pure photographic pleasure. The Foveon sensor, thanks to its three-layer RGB structure, returns images of a sharpness and dynamic range in absolutely unique colours. The exposure meter is not mistaken for a shot and the AWB function to light priority always manages to return the same color temperature present at the time of shooting. The JPEG files are great but it is advisable to shoot in RAW and work with the proprietary software free downloadable from the Sigma site. Rather basic and slow software but really able to work at best the files150 MB that churn out the sensor. It must be said that if the image was taken carefully the files do not require much post-production. The ISO seal is not much, the noise is already visible at 400 and becomes heavy at 1600, it must be said that it is a grain all in all pleasant, reminiscent of the film. In short, a machine that is not suitable for everyone, who knows no way, or loves it or hates it. The SD pushes the photographer to observe, to reflect and to shoot only if you are sure to bring home the right shot. For me it was a breakthrough, it made me realize that photography is not just tip and snaps as if there was a tomorrow... made me understand what is photographic art.

fujifilm_x-pro1Fujifilm X-PRO1

Pros: weight; retro design; Price flea; ability to use virtually any lens in circulation, current or vintage

Cons: menu a bit 'messy; battery scandalous

Opinion: I found this camera really at a bargain price of less than 4000 shots. taken to complement the outfit reflex and to take advantage, adapters, my good collection of vintage optic. this is a great traveling companion as small and light, although less than most competitors. It has two viewfinders, the electronic one and a simple Galilean viewfinder. the shutter is silent and does not create interesting details vibrazioni.rnmolto the various filters that simulate Juji films applicable to the image. batteries, as with many mirrors, have poor durability. I barely 300 scatti.rne then, personally, I find that in design from the 60s and 70s rangefinder film is terribly fascinating. is currently tranquillamene around 400-500 euro.rnconsigliata! rnrn

sigma_15-30Sigma 15-30mm f/3.5-4.5 EX DG

Pros: build quality, price, FF, low distortion.

Cons: flare, flare ... oh I forgot, this objective is suffering from serious problems of flare.

Opinion: found used (of course) in a photo shop. I like aesthetically, balanced forms and the usual Sigma satin paint. the structural design is really well made, solid and well assemblato.rnla sharpness is good at TA, decaying at the edges, and excellent, closing a pair of stop, throughout the frame. the distortion is present on full frame but easily correctable PP and almost totally absent on aps-c-. the autofocus is extremely noisy but, after all, for a perspective which primarily is used for landscapes is also important because, in most cases you focheggia to mano.rnil big this light problem is the very low resistance to flare. in the event of a frontal or side light will most likely present reflections on the image and halos. but at that price tant'è.rnsecondo me a viable alternative to wide-angle lens, perhaps the most modern and best-resistant backlit but certainly far more expensive.

sigma_50_f1-4artSigma 50mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art

Pros: Exceptional sharpness already F1.4; Excellent in terms of materials; silent AF; perfect weight pei bodies pro and semi-pro.

Cons: the well-known front-back focus on different specimens.

Opinion: a true masterpiece of optical engineering. Sigma engineers have pulled out of the hat something spettacolare.rnl'obiettivo is built very well, as a true optical pro. All glass and metallo.rnil weighing about 800g, roughly as the major SLR Canon and Nikon high-end (except the flagships) makes the balance of perfetto.rnpersonalmente SLR I bought it in late May, but I have not tried seriously to 10th September. that Saturday night was the degl festival of street performers in Bergamo. in the gallery you can show me an image taken at F1.4 and converted to jpg without any results as PP.rnil is amazing, excellent contrast, vivid colors, already monstrous sharpness, detachment of terrific stories, and blurred at the top, there is only a slight vignetting, almost inevitable these aperture.rnchiudendo to f2.8 us to levels worthy of the best Zeiss, as Otus 55mm 1.4, which costs 5 times as much and has no AF.rninsomma, in my opinion perspective exceptional. I think Canon and Nikon,since Sigma took to the field with the series ART will have to revise its standard fixed lenses because they pay a lot to these babies Sigma.

zeiss_jena-biotar_58_f2Zeiss Jena Biotar 58mm f/2

Pros: building a real optical 60 years, all glass and metal; interesting focal length; 12 slats; wonderful blurred; vintage flavor

Cons: full aperture is quite soft and blurry edges, avoid backlit.

Opinion: I love this lens, like so many other lenses of the 60, 70 and 80. I use it on Canon 6D and stupid as optics designed for the film manages to solve no problems 21 mpx of a current digital SLR. focuse hand, for me, is a pleasure. as well as turn the aperture and observe the slats open and close. suffers terribly backlighting and full aperture edges are blurry and lacks contrast, at f2.8 but improves slightly to 5.6 improves significantly throughout the frame and f8-11 is nitidi1ssimo. They can find many on ebay between 100 and 150 Euros, a ridiculous price if we think of this optical glass quality. oh I forgot, you Zeiss ... and the name says it all!

zenit_16mm_fisheyeZenit MC Zenitar 16mm f/2.8 Fisheye

Pros: Price, optical quality, solid and light

Cons: against? you can have against a fisheye to 150 €?

Opinion: I bought this light in 2014. found on ebay to € 150, if they are different for both Canon and Nikon, or alternatively with a discreet sharpness M42.rnha step already at full aperture that becomes excellent closing of a couple of stops. is the classic lens of once, all glass and metal. is entirely manual, but it is not a problem since with optics with a 180 ° field angle, like this, the focus, in the vast majority of cases, goes all'infinito.rnoltretutto, compared to Canon fisheye, Nikon or Sigma, which cost four times, is much lighter and compatto.rn

canon_7d_mark2Canon 7D Mark II

Pros: Body professional machine, ergonomic, well built with good materials, exceptional AF, endless customization, quiet shutter

Cons: lack wi-fi, high ISO excellent sealing but improvable, GPS (explain why)

Opinion: I withdrew 7DII yesterday afternoon. the solid feel and outstanding, you quickly realize you are holding a photographic professional and not a toy. The menu is huge, every single function of this reflex is Customizable starting, of course, from the autofocus system. pages of the AF settings in all its functions. I quickly assembled the 24-105L for testing, the I place on the stand, snap and immediately I am amazed by one thing ... the shutter, wow, and quiet! in live view is just a rustle and even with the mirror in operation the noise is very low. the soundness of the ISO is indeed great, but the noise is already visible in 2500, I think that Canon's engineers can even do better. we pass to the defects. many complain of the lack of touch screen, but let's think, is really useful in photography? I think only serves to leave fingerprints on the monitor, they could not do swivel, because otherwise they could not put the keys on the sinisbetween the back. I think that a defect is the GPS inutilissimo. first halves the battery life and then there is really need to tag the pictures that we take? I have not bought a camera like this to post pictures on social! final rnih a wonderful camera suited to amateur as to the professional. recommended!

panasonic_14-42Panasonic Lumix 14-42mm f/3.5-5.6 II OIS

Pros: price, weight, focal range

Cons: Vignetting at TA, plasticky, flare, zoom ring in stuttering

Opinion: a lens absolutely the worst handyman, is lightweight and compact size, sofre terribly flare and vignetting wide open, but is resolved by closing a couple of stops. the zoom ring is a bit 'rigidina and this makes it hard for precision zooming. but after all, considering the price, to use a "tourist" is a lens that makes' his duty. returns saturated colors and sharp images.

olympus_omd_em10Olympus OM-D E-M10

Pros: lightweight, compact and aesthetically very pretty. stabilizer. Zuiko lenses, especially the fixed, are always of the highest standard

Cons: noise already noticeable at ISO 1000, but do not consider him a true bug (later explain), battery scandalous. menu packed with art filters inutilissimi

Opinion: 26egrave; a problem that is solved, taking with him one or two batteries of scorta.rnper conclude I think it is a good mirror, both peri beginners and for the most demanding.

canon_10dCanon 10D

Pros: Price of used (found last week for 160 € including excellent lens Tokina 19-39 f: 3.5-4.5), CF, well built, quality immafine respectable despite 11 years of age.

Cons: screen ridiculous both in size and resolution, already heavy noise above 500 iso.

Opinion: I was looking for a semipro SLR for use with a homemade pinhole lens and having already 6D, 1DII, 50D and 60D was aiming for something cheap, I was undecided between a 400D and a 350D when I imbato in an announcement on the internet of this machine accompanied by excellent lens Tokina really am ... all at a price of 100 € less than the bodies of the younger sisters of Canon. the 10D looks quite good in spite of the age, is ergonomic, easy to handle and nice sturdy. the rendered image is at high levels, and the files are well lavorabili.rnla battery still holds fairly well. you should not work more than 500 iso otherwise the noise becomes unmanageable. the monitor is really dated and it shows, very low definition and low in contrast. in short, is a camera that was clearly outclassed by the later versions but unfounded ago 'still a terrible figure.

canon_60dCanon 60D

Pros: Swivel screen, light, HD video, good seal iso, function dial button with safety, outstanding battery.

Cons: burst worse than the 50D, not tropical conditions, the absence of micro

Opinion: It 'was my second SLR, I came from the 1100D and the differences are significant. is considered a semi-pro but in fact is un'amatoriale advanced. with the right optics produces files at up to 3200 ISO 6400 and then gradually decays the noise is quite pronounced. However, I think it's a great car, suitable for different types of photography. the burst by 5.3, the proper management of ISO, the movable monitor, and shooting HD video combined with low weight and competitive price make it a reflex suits demanding amateur photographer as a second body.

canon_1d2Canon 1D Mark II

Pros: Virtually indestructible, impeccable construction, barrage, ergonomic.

Cons: Weight, small screen and low in contrast

Opinion: I bought this camera in 2012, used with assets of 65000 shots but calculating that the Canon provides for 300000 shots still has a ways to go. the camera body is massive and rubustissimo, the flurry of almost 9 fps per second making it perfect for sports photography. I use it mainly for portraiture and I ragala of wonderful images ... for this type of machine the years seem to pass ever!

canon_24-105Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM

Pros: Stabilizer strpitoso, Sharpest, versatile, professional construction

Cons: I have not found

Opinion: Fantastic lens! mounted on 1D mkII and never taken it off! sharpness is superb already at full aperture, the stabilizer is one of the most efficient I've ever tried. its focal range from wide angle to medium telephoto optics perfect for the current report from the trip but also for landscape photography and also for the street and why not for portraiture ... a lens that should not be missing in any kit photographer!

tamron_70-200_f2-8Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 Di LD

Pros: Price, f2.8, lens significant, macro, solid.

Cons: autofocul slow in the absence of light.

Opinion: I bought this to replace the zoom Canon f4 L and I'm soddisfatissimo. The autofocus is slow only in conditions of low light shooting in broad daylight but there is no problem. the sharpness is very good already at f2.8 and closing a pair of stop becomes excellent. short .... I can only feel it at this price with a view spectacular!
