fujifilm_x_pro2Fujifilm X-Pro2

Pros: Camera body, file quality, double slot, perfect in its field of use

Cons: Ring iso, price used because there are few.

Opinion: Taken as a camera to always carry behind, for street and reportage, occasionally portrait. And it is precisely for these purposes that I think it is born, it is a very specialized camera, you have to know in advance what you buy. The optical viewfinder as someone pointed out is certainly improvable, you could make the eyepiece larger, but already so it is widely usable and beautiful. The sensor churns out excellent files as long as you use C1 but I use it almost exclusively in JPG with film simulation. The fixed monitor for me is an advantage as it becomes a single block, a tank, a fantastic camera body already to the touch and very pleasant in use. The key layout can be improved, but it is still great, the shutter sound is beautiful. A flaw in my opinion is the ISO ring, which by moving the values inevitably also move the times, they should have put a button lock not only for the A mode

nikon_z14-24_f2-8Nikon Z 14-24mm f/2.8 S

Pros: Optical quality at the highest levels, no flare, compact, granite construction.

Cons: Hood and price... price!

Opinion: Finally after so much I managed to take it, it is really an amazing optics, at the top of the category. Compared to its big brother F is another planet in performance but also in compactness, carrying it around is a pleasure even in less committed outputs. A blade at all apertures and focal lengths, from edge to edge, an optics with fixed performance, even at TA, practically non-existent distortions. No compromise. Very useful in my opinion the upper oled display, which allows indications in total darkness, convenient for astrophotography. It can mount 112 filters, which are not cheap, but it is a possibility that in my opinion allows you to save something even on the dimensions compared to holders + plates. Defects? For me, the hood could be a bit more protective and robust as well as better seal possible infiltration of light. Another flaw is the zoom ring that I would have made a little more fluid, but maybe it's just my specimen and anyway with time it should soften. The price is very high, but we must consider that it is a definitive perspective. One of those glasses that remains in your kit for at least a decade.

nikon_z24-120_f4Nikon Z 24-120mm f/4 S

Pros: First-class performance, versatility. Value for money in kits.

Cons: The zoom dial I would have preferred closer to the body.

Opinion: Taken as a kit with the Z6II, it's an absolutely crazy lens throughout. The optical yield is first in class in its category, very sharp but not excessively contrasted, very little flare and minimal distortion. A lens of those that are worth the kit and with which you can do everything. Yes, because not only is it very sharp but also has a really remarkable boken making it also suitable for portraits. The only flaw for me is a bit 'the arrangement of the rings, I would have preferred that of the zoom closer to the body because when you turn it, you tend to unbalance the body / lens group not being able to rest your wrist on the back of the camera during rotation. Super recommended optics for the Z system.

fujifilm_x20Fujifilm Finepix X20

Pros: A compact for PHOTOGRAPHERS, file quality, manual and aesthetic zoom.

Cons: Battery in the first place (max 150/200 shots), photo report in 4:3, start from 28mm, fuji abandoned the project

Opinion: I have been owning it for almost 7 years now and it is always with me in the work bag and on my extreme mountaineering snowboard trips. It is a professional miniature camera with everything you need to have a feeling of photography with a capital F. How many satisfactions he has given me and will give me more. Of course it pays for the fact of being old in the digital landscape, probably the phone you have in your pocket has an even higher IQ, but the pleasure of using it is incredible, you want to photograph taking it in your hand. Over 400iso becomes unusable but combined with stabilization and the very open optics you shoot very well even in conditions of poor freehand light without problems. To make the most of the RAF you absolutely need C1 express Fujifilm, with Adobe the demosaicization has never been the best while with the first you bring out incredible details. Needless to say, as a fujifilm tradition, on-camera JPGs are perfect.

dji_mavic_miniDJI Mavic Mini

Pros: Compactness, good battery, lightness and cost.

Cons: Swinging signal, 2.7k 30P, no RAW, some FW problem, propellers that bend easily, not suitable beyond 2500m above sea level, no waypoint.

Opinion: A FLYCAM, this is the correct definition for the MavicMini, as indicated on the packaging. It is not a real DRONE as the limitations compared to the older siblings are important in some cases I would say abysmal. The photo/video compartment is heavily castrated; Not only videos with a lower resolution even to low-end smartphones, but also a very low bitrate, sharp and well-balanced photos in colors but limited to a JPG of a few MB, also is unusable at low lighting or worse at night, very few manual handling possibilities. The signal is swinging even under the same conditions: I flew it in the same spot and in the same path and in the same conditions I went from 600/800m away to just 50/100m with disturbed signal, if you then fly in the presence of goodbye trees, you lose it almost immediately. Accepted this compromise everything else is I would say in line with expectations and price. Unfortunately it is not suitable for mountaineers and high mountain hikers as it does not fly or with a high risk of losing it beyond 2500/3000m above sea level, moreover also on the manual is specified. After 9 months of owning it, since launch, would I buy it back? Ni... a mavic mini 2 could fill the technical gap in my opinion necessary to frame it as a real drone but moreover the weight limits imposed by the regulations have distorted in my opinion the project, had to weigh 50gr more and have more power in the engines The price is soaring but if our need is that of a real drone let go. My rating is 6/10. We await the mini 2

samyang_12_f2ncsSamyang 12mm f/2.0 NCS CS

Pros: compactness, general yield, price value, f/2 opening

Cons: distances indicator busted

Opinion: Taken used at not even two hundred ii was pleasantly surprised by the yield: it can be used even at full opening and is fabulous as a travel lens: small, compact and quality. Perfect as a lens to take to the mountains, manual focus is not a problem thanks to focus peaking. It's worth all the euros it costs.

nikon_50f1-4aisNikon 50mm f/1.4 Ai-s

Pros: Quality, construction of other times, blurred, price.

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: I'm using it on D800 and on XT2 and I find it fantastic with a construction of other times... at F/2 is already ultra sharp even on dense modern sensors with shadows very open, fully usable even TA correcting some aberrations in post. Thanks to the focus peak of the XT2 focusing is easy, while on the D800 is a bit ' harder to get it at 1.4. For the price to which it is located is a great purchase, especially for the mirrorless world which facilitates so much on manual focus. Too bad the presence of only 7 blades in the diaphragm, but the blur is excellent the same.

gopro_hero6_blackGoPro Hero6 Black

Pros: Excellent video quality, stabilization, superwide, good quality raw photo, 1080 240fps, gopro world with infinite accessories ..

Cons: Poor resistance to cold, not very fast menu, some software bugs that are slowly resolving (firmware 2.01), lack of stabilization and superwide for the 4k 60fps

Opinion: The gopro "almost" mature.rnThe expectation for this action cam for me was very high because I come from the hero2, a real mini tank used for almost 5 years! RnI am overall satisfied even if I find it shameful that an action cam can not stand temperatures of very negative, the Hero2 has accompanied me in adventures at -20 without accusing the slightest hesitation while it goes off going protection already at -10.rnThe stabilization works very well according to me considering that it is software, the menu is not super reactive but better than the Hero5 that I had tried.rnFor the rest of the video quality in my opinion excellent with extensive customizations. Overall picture more than good despite the small sensor.

nikon_300_f4-5edifNikon 300mm f/4.5 ED-IF

Pros: Building old style metal, generally high quality in relation to price, high sharpness to any diaphragm, soft and delicate colors, beautiful boken

Cons: Manual focus, some chromatic aberration too.

Opinion: I took this view used to find it at a very good price and I was amazed the yield; despite the even years of sensors like the D800 still it has its say. Incredibly sharp at any aperture is equipped with a very soft focus ring, that it is intended for use in my case, that is portrait and astrophotography, is certainly not a problem.

fujifilm_x100tFujifilm X100T

Pros: Machine reportage practically perfect. Image quality at the top for aps-c, 3200iso usable, boken pleasant, lots of customization, robust body and finished made in japan, refined aesthetics, viewfinder, despite the size excellent ergonomics.

Cons: Video Options sparse, a bit noisy autofocus, I would have preferred an ISO dial instead of EV compensation

Opinion: I took it to be attached to the SLR kit to make reportage and portraiture, is a machine at the beginning not easy to manage, as it has a different approach from the SLR. However after a few tens of shots beginning to understand the potential and the fun is guaranteed. The fixed lens 35mm universal demands rigor of composition but returns an image quality without compromessi.rnL'utilizzo and management of RAF with new versions of ACR8.7, LR5.7 and RawTherapee 4.2 is now excellent and allows exploit all the potenzialità.rnRispetto X100S improvements, sensor part, are obvious and finally AF is very responsive even in low light conditions. rnInoltre Whereas fuji regularly releases firmware with substantial novelties, we can expect some new features or performance increase already in the next version.

zeiss_100macroZeiss ZE/ZF.2 Makro-Planar T* 100mm f/2

Pros: Optical quality at the highest levels even at full aperture with sharpness and microcontrast at the top of the board on board, rich tonal transactions with cool but intense colors typical of Zeiss, made even more incredible with latest generation sensors (D800, 5D3)

Cons: In some situations with strong bright contrast a bit of longitudinal chromatic aberration, only noticeable to TA.

Opinion: An optic I use for 3 years, first with the D700 now with the D800 on which it has more gear. Its strength apart from the high-quality optical quality is the utmost versatility and field of use. You can make macros (1: 2), portraits even close, or use it as generic canvas. The construction is typical of zeiss optics, completely metal, robust and finely finished made to last in time. The MAF manual can be a problem but personally it is not because the ring is very precise

nikon_28_f1-8gNikon AF-S 28mm f/1.8 G

Pros: Exceptional performance in any iris center to the edge ... without compromise

Cons: Shoddy construction plasticky and far from the old standards. Nikon shame!

Opinion: One of the nikon lenses in the price with the best quality / price ratio. Incredible optical quality, distortion nonexistent, bright colors, very low flare, MAF fast and accurate. Suitable for various applications, from portraiture to landscape photography notturna.rnMolto recommended to those seeking a quality wide-angle fixed
