nikon_afs200-500_f5-6vrNikon AF-S Nikkor 200-500mm f/5.6 E ED VR

Pros: Compact, 500mm f5.6 real and very exploitable, AF fast but improves with a more modern module, effective VR, you shoot under safety time. Honest price

Cons: Plastic and ecomomic keys such as the lampshed, modified with inner black velvet. Comfortable zoom ring but with very "long" stroke and alas the optics are also stretched.

Opinion: Bought a few years ago in the UK... €1300 warranty has expired, but has not shown any problems. Taken to replace the Tamrex first series, which I have no regrets about but for those 100mm... but it had other kidneys, during the warranty period ultrasonic engine failure, contact and a lot of dust inside. QUindi in the gearbox I preferred to choose a fixed diaphragm losing 100mm but acquiring an "original" and decidedly more balanced optics than the Tamrex during brandishing and use, of course, with camera+BG+additional battery we are at 3.5kg, not a few. This Nikon, on the other hand, is now almost 5 years old and is like the first day, often used as the only optics for photo hunting, always satisfying shots, certainly at TA it is indicated for short-distance shots, for animals over 20meters you have to close, vr is super effective, you shoot safely under safety times. Sure... when the light goes down and you're on edge with the times, the photos knead... but I think it's physiological, even for an ine expert and amateur user like I am. For protection I use it with quality 95mm filter and camouflage tutina, the lampshade I coated it internally with black velvet to avoid reverberations, it is light and the hook is not the most solid, definitely economical. As the first "cheap" step is perfect, recommended, the next could be an old 300mm f2.8 with multipliers or the more modern 500 f5.6 fixed compact, but let's talk about quite other digits.

lowepro_flipside_sport20l_awLowepro Flipside Sport 20L AW

Pros: Practical, it enters everything you need for an excursion, the possibility of leaving the zoom supertele mounted, the water bag compartment possibility

Cons: For hikes over 3 hours heavy, uncomfortable on the shoulders to carry for a long time, impossible to keep it to life and make it turn when at full load

Opinion: I have this 3 year old backpack, compact, well done and good materials, all you need for hiking, the problem is that it is heavy and uncomfortable to take in the mountains for hiking with several hundred feet of downhill. After 3 I begin to suffer and to fight back a bit to the weight I put ... I put my arms in the back and I "support" the base with the hands behind my back.rnThank you that the backpack is on the 11kg with Befree manfrotto, 2 liter Camelback bag , Nikon D600 + BG + 2 batteries, zoom 200 ~ 500 f5.6 and 3 zoom 20 ~ 35 f2.8 / 35 ~ 70 f2.8 / 70 ~ 210 f4 / SB700.rn Put some finger, a k-way. And the weight is soon reached. At that point it is unthinkable to keep it only from the lumbar strap and "turn" the backpack forward to pick up the outfit. In addition to these aspects, surely a similar backpack is hard to find.

patona_4in1Patona 4in1

Pros: complete

Cons: Slower ... slightly "plasticous" ... battery pack with lower capacity.

Opinion: Purchased in a drum kit with a lower amperage than the original ... I can only quote the review of Juza.rnOn holiday I do this and I leave the original at home.Aquipped on amazon at a reasonable price ... I discovered after that there is an identical model but a battery from 2000mah ... it's a shame ... it will be next time. rnNB ... the battery after a dozen charging cycles is NOT recharged more fully, it reaches a maximum of 60% you download very fast.

transcend_sdhc_32gb_r95_w85mbs

Pros: right cost performance / price

Cons: none

Opinion: Mounted on D600 ... definitely faster downloading of Lexar 600x ... but cmq is the machine the "bottleneck" .rnCredo are in a bit under the Sandisk same performance ... but for sure the wheel are costing less. rnFornite in their original packaging also programmello recovery foto.rnMi intend to try them on a body moderno.Acquistatele on Amazon ... but NOT the Italian ... cost much less.

nikon_sb700afNikon SB-700 AF Speedlight

Pros: Lightweight, versatile, compact and complete

Cons: I do not know

Opinion: Received in gift with the D600 ... I should learn to use it better and more.rnTo get more security I've got Sanyo Enloop batteries and also accessories accessories set.rnI do not have much experience with Flash ... great for interior , suitable coverage from 24 to 120mm, it is possible to rotate both vertically and horizontally as well as in diagonal ... great in wirless and also as a master flash mounted in both machine and separately.rnThanced for great value for money.

manfrotto_befreeManfrotto BeFree

Pros: Lightweight, compact, well done, ability to change the head

Cons: Everything is open to "limit" as stability, price

Opinion: Purchased at a price Manfrotto "full" ... do not do it ... too caro.rnA than that ... great ... travel light and compact ... personally tested with more than 3.1 kg above holds ... otherwise ... it was not fully extended is in a bit "dancer". The knobs should be tight ... tend to loosen. Overall great compromise ... satisfied.

tamron_150-600vcTamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD

Pros: Compact 600mm F6.3 ... real fast ... and sfruttabilissimi ... AF VR effective ... you shoot under the safety times. Price and features unrivaled. 5 years warranty

Cons: Plasticky keys and ecomomici as the lens hood. Unbalanced forward when all extended. Zoom ring but comfortable ride with very "long"

Opinion: Shortly + 1000 € x 600mm reach as ?? Tamron is unthinkable but failed. Ultrasonic motor fast VR that allows you to shoot handheld at 1/250 quality lenses treated with the "little people" of those cousins ??Nikon incredibile.rnÈ my first non-Nikon lens, x junta purchased new, solid construction and well-made, frets maybe cheap plasticky lens hood all made in china or Philippines, but no alternatives in the corresponding catalog Nikon. Highly recommended! 5 years warranty and super Amazon: booked and arrived around 1 month of waiting for the price + low. Very satisfied.

kenko_1-4x_proKenko Pro 300 DGX 1.4x

Pros: Excellent quality / price ratio. Only alternative for Nikon AF lenses and AF-D ... compatible with both mechanical autofocus (has the PTO) and electrically.

Cons: Construction "economic"

Opinion: Excellent quality / price ratio ... costs half compared eponymous Nikon ... maintaining excellent quality and especially the only compatible with both Nikon optics (or Sigma) AF and AF-D thanks to the PTO of mechanical 'autofocus. It also has all the electric and electronic contacts x be also compatible with AF-S lenses. Correctly detected in the data exif shooting. I use it with satisfaction on Nikon AF 300f4 and Sigma AF-D macro 400f5,6 slowing but keeping the autofocus. Consigliato.rnPs: rnPiccola known ... Sigma 300mm f2.8 EX DG HSM and Tamron 150 ~ 600 x Nikon both the TC in question does NOT work.

nikon_d600Nikon D600

Pros: Image quality, usable ISO up to 12800, with perfect ergonomics ... BG mounted dual-slot and dual battery autonomy provided; functions and complete control. Fast, responsive autofocus. Crop to 10mp.

Cons: Slow saving files with fast memory buffer 600x ... limited to 3 bursts, it could "spread" better AF points. A little speck of dust too.

Opinion: Purchased in January 2013 ... almost 10 thousand shots made ... excellent upgrade coming from D90. Sensor of the latest generation exploitable in every situation. Photo Recovery "wrong" thanks to the extended dynamic range. ISO range of spectacular at the level of D4 ... exploitable shots up to ISO 12800 if well exposed. Ability to crop DX 10.2 MP ... great in birdlife. By contrast AF system ... very good and responsive but with little coverage could be extended ... "spread" a little better. Despite having a model "healthy" ... with frequent changes and the use of optical zoom ... specks of dust always lurking. Problem solved with the prior spompettata before each shooting session. Price Nital disproportionate purchased ... only because I took advantage of the promotion with the SB700 flash as a gift. Full HD movies and good autofocus permanent ... but room for improvement. Slowness of rescue. NEF with Lexar x600 ... only 15 shots ... then 3 consecutive bursts. Overall satisfied.

nikon_d90Nikon D90

Pros: Excellent reflex of "starting" ... internal engine ... good solid and comfortable with BG ... large, bright viewfinder ... double ring, the upper display, held up to ISO 3200 ... long autonomy.

Cons: AF system limited in birdlife. Functions limited video (autofocus poor), only 1 SD slot, lack Micro AF.

Opinion: Good camera ... it was my first digital SLR, used x 2 ½ years. Perfect ergonomics with Battery Grip mounted and doubling battery life (2 slot battery). Autofocus system good, but reactive in birds shows serious limitations ... and in home video mode ... there is practically no permanent autofocus on subjects. Resilience ISO, if you shoot well exposed quietly up chart at ISO 3200. Internal engine ... then can choose optical AF and AF-D with good infrastructure at a very affordable ... both new and especially used ... portfolio ringrazia.rnConsigliata ... and in my opinion even better models entry- current level.

nikon_af70-210f4Nikon AF 70-210mm f/4

Pros: F / 4 steady ... excellent performance at all focal lengths ... double ring extension and constant

Cons: Lens front wheel, racing AF "long"

Opinion: Little X + 200 € (with caps and lens hood metal HN-23 or 24) ... tell me what you can find? An f / 4 constant on a 3x zoom ... excellent performance at all focal lengths ... a "tad" soft fuzzy 210mm f4 ... creamy colors ... less pastellosi of his successor to "pump" ... barely + "cold" ... 850gr ... glass and metal ... extension constant throughout the entire zoom lens ... ant. That rotates in focus with 'long' stroke ... uncomfortable with a polarizer screwed. The new VR f4 costs 5 times as much ... meditate ... meditate ...

nikon_35-70_f2-8Nikon AF 35-70mm f/2.8

Pros: Compact, excellent yield at all focal points and diaphragms, pump movement

Cons: Little range (2x)... to buy only repaired (opacity duet post.), backlight

Opinion: Hard to tell if you're dealing with an "opaque" optics... if you are not practical it is better to let it go... or only turn to repaired optics with LTR bill. Once you find the right optics... excellent construction and very comfortable the "pump" movement... pastel colors and excellent already at TA... in The Matrix tends to overexpose a little bit. Also repaired (suffers from 2 problems: in addition to the opacity of the post duet. the other lenses go clean CMQ) in the backlight suffers. Price x a model "D" in excellent condition with repair invoice between 300/350€ if complete with everything... not even half as much as his successors. Lampshed replaced with screw and metal HN-22... with a mounted polarizer is very + comfortable.

nikon_20-35_f2-8dNikon 20-35mm f/2.8 D IF

Pros: Tank .. glass and metal lens grinded by hand, excellent performance at all focal lengths and apertures

Cons: Autofocus noisy

Opinion: Finally last summer I was able to find it ... optical underestimated and even rare in the used market ... excellent performance at all focal lengths and all apertures. It is the perspective that I always mounted on D600 ... construction is solid but at the same time less heavy and bulky his successors. Important front lens hood ... must always be mounted. rnResa great, vibrant colors and pastellosi, autofocus fast but noisy. If you find it not more than 500 € ... fatevelo not escape.

nikon_300f4_if-edNikon 300mm f/4 AF-IF ED

Pros: Construction type "gun" ... solid, excellent performance already at RT. Built-in hood

Cons: Compatible only with old TC Nikon AF or losing with new third-party TC, AF slow but manageable.

Opinion: Got it used at half the price of his successor AF-S optics ... tough, well-made, metal and glass. Great ... f4 already blurred ... creamy colors typical of the slow autofocus AF ... typical for optical mechanical with "PTO". rnMoltiplicato often with Kenko Pro 300 DGX 1.4x becoming a 420mm f / 5,6 AF and maintaining a good quality. Tending to the "purple" strong reflections on the water ... attention to the presence of its internal filter 39mm ... is part of the optical system. X Recommended especially those who do not want to spend big money and want a perspective of quality.

nikon_50_f1-8afNikon 50mm f/1.8 AF

Pros: In the Japan Sea, lightweight, compact and economical

Cons: Flare against the light, especially at night due to street lights or street lights, soft TA

Opinion: Before optical AF kit since 1989 ... made in Japan ... soft ... great TA from f2, 8 and up ... tending to ghost especially at night or with a filter in front of the hood to buy ... part of DX ... great start as optical portraits. On FX I use it just as I consider as "normal" focal length of 35mm x what it's worth ... but I keep it willingly in the kit.

nikon_24_f2-8dNikon AF 24mm f/2.8 D

Pros: Compact, excellent performance at all apertures, perhaps best of DX on FX ... often underestimated

Cons: Hood sold separately

Opinion: Used a lot of D90 where perhaps I preferred covering an angle of 35mm x speak. Optics very good at all apertures, beautiful colors and pastellosi typical of AF. Autofocus quickly and precisely. Compact and lightweight, often overlooked as optical GA or "normal" DX ... shame as it has no rivals on its price range (used on 200-220 €).

nikon_180_f2-8dNikon AF 180mm f/2.8 D ED IF

Pros: Glass and mechanics as they once were, spectacular lens already at room temperature, built-in hood, textured finish

Cons: Sin x who does not have it

Opinion: Compact, lightweight, usable freehand also 1/125...spettacolare already down to f2, ... 8 x optical queen theater, concerts, performances ... not very fast in AF and in a bit noisy ... but they are "defects" forgivable. It is difficult to resell once in the kit. Backlit with strong contrasts manifested purple tinges ... happened in steps to the sea. Hood comfortable. Taken at a price almost as "optical kit" ... amazing.

nikon_85_f1-8dNikon AF 85mm f/1.8 D

Pros: Glass and metal ... excellent yield by f2, 2 to f5, 6

Cons: Autocus noisy, slow post. delicate, rearfocus

Opinion: The photos taken with this lens are in my opinion the beautiful + I together with those of 180mm. Rearfocus uncomfortable ... the slow post. moves and with time it may happen that enters the dust ... and delicate as exposed. Yield spectacular from f2, 2 to f5, 6 ... got it used at a good price, well covering and metal hood. We recommend the purchase even compared to the new model because of the colors ... x + "pastellosi" former lower contrast.

sigma_400_f5-6Sigma 400 f/5.6 HSM Apo Macro

Pros: The only "economic" alternative in the Nikon house, discreet smooth performance, multiplied with the mechanical 1.4x but with care

Cons: Rubber with the "tending" time to ruin towards the feeling of sticky, hood with little fluid extraction, slow AF speed

Opinion: Bought x can "lengthen" of + mm on my body Nikon, used smooth has a decent performance ... I think in a bit under my 300 + kenko 1,4x ... slow autofocus typical of optics with "PTO "without an internal motor, a hair speed is accelerated by inserting the limiter. Minimum distance 1.6mt and ratio in macro 1: 3 ... incredible for a 400mm canvas. rnA free hand usable quietly respecting the times in safety ... smooth at least 1/640 ... multiplied with kenko 1,4x last type becomes a 560mm f / 8 ... Never go below 1/1000 ... autofocus possible but it slows down further. Fair yield to TA and closed from 1 to 2 stops ... no further. Solid collar and tripod bracket, recommended for those who do not want to spend large amounts. Chromatic aberration good on water and "white" reflections typical of birds in oasis ... cmq repairable in PP. X microregulated duty in Autofocus at +15 ... so if you do not have a camera with this setting I would avoid the purchase, paid at the time around € 300.
