The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Viltrox AF 56mm f/1.7 Pros: Economic. Small. Light. Bright. Very well made. He takes beautiful photos. Cons: The lens hood reaches the end of its stroke but does not lock with a click, at least in this one it is like this I don't know if I had bad luck or they are all like that. Some uncertainty to focus in critical light conditions. Opinion: It is part of Viltrox's "Air" series along with the 2.8/20mm and 2.5/40mm. Similar lenses in aesthetics, weight and size, but the 56mm is the only one for APS-C and is the brightest. 84mm equivalent, attached to the Z30 does not look out of place looks like the kit lens. Matte plastic and rough to the touch looks good quality. Metal bayonet (nowadays it must be specified because plastic is rampant) and usb-c connector. It does not have a rear seal, it is not protected from rain and bad weather. 56mm filters. The version for Nikon Z is different from the one for Fujifilm or Sony (the one in the photo to be clear) it is nicer. Manual focusing is facilitated by an excellent voluminous and well-frictioned ring nut. Minimum distance of maf 55cm is not bad for an 84mm although equivalent. Indeed in critical light conditions it can go into crisis but nothing dramatic, neither more nor less than the other two lenses in the kit the 16-50 and the 50-250. It certainly offers much more than what it costs, recommended. sent on October 04, 2024 |
 | Nikon Z30 Pros: I like it for the size and weight contained in a solid and well-built body. Excellent grip but must be helped with a dedicated accessory. Good level of customization. Usable and intuitive menu. Operating speed. Quality of jpg files (I use it mainly in jpg) and excellent iso tightness. Cons: Maybe the battery but with a couple it solves. The side cover of the doors is made of rubber and seems thin to me, over time I fear it will remain in my hand. The front ring is too deep in the body and is difficult to turn easily (or perhaps it is designed for this reason?). Anything else honestly doesn't come to mind. Opinion: I wanted to reset and so I gave away Fujifilm and went back to Nikon, the last time I used the brand I had a D750. I immediately found myself at home with a well-organized and easy-to-understand menu. Z30 is a surprise, I chose it for the cost (it is the first step of the Nikon Z evolutionary ladder) and for the shape (without viewfinder) for a "family" use and pure amusement so what I write must be framed in this context. Kit socket with 50-250 and 16-50. All this plastic has a great quality both in terms of construction and files (I printed 40x60 an image at 5000 iso and it doesn't crease). It can also be used with one hand, the thumb focuses and the index finger clicks as long as you mount the smallrig (I put the 3857 only plate) otherwise the little finger goes for a walk and the stability is also affected it makes it a little heavier which does not hurt. I took the power supply and 1 battery apart. The absence of the viewfinder is initially felt using the telephoto lens, it is natural to bring it closer to the eye, the support of the face is missing but it is a matter of getting the hang of it, the stabilization of the lenses helps. It is enjoyable both by setting some parameters in the car for example the iso but also completely in manual with 50s lenses, the "Urth" M42 adapter is very well done, it seems to be one with the lens and not an additional body. Over the years I have always tried to take well-made material, metal and glass (see Fujifilm), convinced that quality also depended on this and why not also for pure enjoyment in hearing the click of the ring mechanisms, the smell of fake leather and the cold of the metal bodies. Using the Z30 and plastic kit you lose the romanticism linked to the materials as with many new generation products and then why Z30? I saw a sort of "review" on YouTube, father and son, unpacking the Z30 50-250 16-50 kit with skyrocketing enthusiasm, contagious, imagining trips everywhere. I felt a certain envy in seeing the joy they released, the same I felt at the beginning with the first reflex used (Praktica BC1). I wanted to relive those feelings, disconnected from everything, almost unaware. I learned that some things don't add up and that the Z30 is a great car. sent on October 02, 2024 |
 | Sony A7 Pros: Small, light but above all beautiful. FF. Cons: The cons that bother me the most is the battery consumption, for the rest being aware of the purchase I make everything go well considering also the purchase price. Opinion: I bought it new about 1 year ago at a very interesting price to be a small and above all beautiful light FF, I admit I took it for the aesthetics reminds me of the Praktica L is exactly what I was looking for. Technologically outdated, yes there is a fund of truth let's remember it is a hardware dating back to 2013 and for high tech products it is a huge amount of time. I was aware of it but the desire to have one has erased all doubts related to jpg quality, iso, af, battery, slowness and so on. Use with manual focus m42 lenses does not make a bend. Use with af lenses does not make a bend. I grip it well, the grip is better than the Sony a6300, there are two wheels, I like the position of the shutter button on the shell, it helps to hold it better in the hand. I don't make videos. Face recognition and smiles work but I don't use. The only thing that really bothers me is the battery consumption, it is discharged even when turned off! But I'm used to the supply of batteries always with digital. To tell the truth even in analog I had the stock of batteries but here we are at the top. As features it has too much, I could eliminate at least 3 quarters maybe the battery would benefit. February 2022 update: I discovered that the low autonomy is not due to the "generic" batteries but to the "generic" power supply. Since I took the original Sony BC-TRW the matter has changed and a lot with all the original and non-original batteries. A charge of a battery with original power supply lasts about 2h sometimes even longer, with the generic about half an hour and marked full charge. In addition, some tricks in the room, such as deactivating the "pre af", deactivating the automatic play after each shot, lowering the brightness of the display (I also set an fn button so as to turn off the display completely), set the separate af-on by freeing it from the shutter button, deactivate the wireless connections and finally set a minimum stand-by time. sent on January 19, 2022 |
 | Sony E PZ 18-105mm f/4 G OSS Pros: Versatile, 6x zoom from wide angle to medium canvas, maximum constant aperture f/4, unchanged size for the entire focal excursion (appreciable feature especially outdoors), solid construction. Overall a nice lens with the right weight and size. Cons: The electric zoom does not keep the chosen focal point. Opinion: The strong point is versatility and this you pay in terms of optical quality, focal long excursion zooms are a compromise or you accept or choose something else. I used it mostly in volleyball competitions in gyms and medium-small sports halls, in these areas it gave its best if I repeat not so much in terms of image quality, however acceptable, but in versatility, which translates into never having to change lens throughout the game. The sore note is the operation of the zoom that does not keep the focal pre-set as it normally does, in situations where you need to be ready to shoot makes you nervous not a little so much since a fast movement of the ring does not translate into operational speed, that is why I gave it away. For those few times I have used it in other areas this behavior was not a problem. It took two lenses to replace it, a canvas zoom and a fixed wide angle, goodbye versatility and welcome quality. Used on Sony a6300. sent on March 27, 2021 |
 | Sony A6300 Pros: White balance in the environment of artificial mixed lights, jpg in the room, smartphone connection speed, fast and precise afc, burst, decentralized electronic viewfinder of good quality, tiltable screen in line with optics and finally usable as well as the electronic viewfinder, construction and aesthetics. Cons: Rear ring, handle a little small on long working sessions, battery life (but it's a no problem if you have the escort). Opinion: Purchased in February 2018 in late sports season (women's B2 volleyball), sure that she would stay in the backpack of the rest how could she compete with the Nikon D750? Well, nikon's in the backpack. Paired with 18-105/4 was what I was looking for. Then combined with 70-200/4. The strengths listed above convinced me at the passage, in a short time the D750 seemed "obsolete". Of the D750 I regret the immense battery life and the comfort of the handle. For the rest, the 6300 proved to be an effective tool using it mainly in low light conditions and mixed artificial lights, fixed iso 6400, taking care to accurately expose and without using cutouts to the photo, the noise present is not at all annoying, excellent rendering of the details and very beautiful the color rendering. In fact today there is the a6400 which is a very valid alternative but on the used undoubtedly the a6300 represents an excellent purchase. It is a review aimed at the type of use that I make of it, the Pros and Cons are subjective. Yet even now that I no longer dedicate to volleyball use it with quality MF optics or old lenses with adapters it is an incredible fun. 6300 forever! sent on February 16, 2021 |
 | Samsung EX1 / TL500 Pros: In two words: "versatile and creative." Display amoled articulated; zoom has a focal range of "do everything" pushed from wide-angle to medium telephoto and is extremely bright especially at 24mm; exceptional macro mode (combined with the 24mm), solid construction, controls at your finger (excellent solution double-ring), all in all good ergonomics, large enough to wield it well, the downside is a compact is not suitable for all budgets (such as size ...), held to be a decent high iso compact, excellent overall yield image both in raw and in jpg, accurate focusing and fast shot thanks to the infrared grid on the subject; intuitive menus. Cons: Lack of autonomy, problem solved with spare batteries, not suitable for photos in which the operating speed is fundamental, lacks the ability to add an electronic viewfinder (for me it is not a problem). Opinion: A surprisingly compact, a great alternative to the usual brands that dominate the market. Currently there is the "EX2" with brightness even more thrust (f / 1,4) and other little things more. It 's very fun to use thanks to swivel display, my typical usage is normal, or 24mm in macro mode at full aperture close to the subject. I do not feel the lack of an optical viewfinder / electronic, compose the image with both eyes is like going back to the times of the viewfinder without having the reverse image, all for the benefit of the composition. A great traveling companion and solace, portability, quality and creativity. sent on August 18, 2013 |
 | Sigma DP3 Merrill Pros: High quality of file produced (three-dimensional, color, sharpness) lends itself well to magnification without loss of quality; chance of getting files into black and white with a digital noise very similar to film grain using the Sigma Photo Pro software, excellent possibility to choose the point of focus from nine options, solid construction, falls nicely in the hand thanks to the generous size of both body and lens, it is decentralized and this helps in general good feeling. Cons: Lack of autonomy (comes with two batteries); management iso issue photographing in color, black and white is a different matter what color it looks like a problem here is creativity, in the presence of low-light AF search the subject, being the lens Macro search is not as fast (maybe that's what bothers you most), you must have a steady hand to shoot freehand. The Sigma Photo Pro software is essential for the development of the raw "x3f" but not the best as performance, in my opinion this is the weakest link in the use of the Foveon sensor. Opinion: It 'a champion without a doubt from the standpoint of image quality, you can zoom in to 100% and enjoy what brings out the coupled sensor / lens. For the rest, as I have already written the only thing that annoys is the search for autofocus in certain circumstances, this makes the machine unsuitable for photos where the operating speed is critical. sent on August 18, 2013 |
