nikon_70-300vrNikon AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G ED VR

Pros: compactness, weight, good sharpness up to 200, price, VRII stabilizer

Cons: Sharpness drops to 300, brightness @ 300

Opinion: I took it with the d90 years ago, and now it follows me with the d600, with the stressful satisfaction. Of course you do not have to expect performance from fixed telephones or zoom from twice the price and weight but do it with honesty. I always say that this time nikon has wrong the price, down! Its compactness and weight makes it all the way back to the outputs, I have never been able to support it for this reason, heavier and bulky optics are home if you are not sure to use them. Recommended for "generic" use, you can take a picture of a gooseberry or a girlfriend but if one has the passion for one of these genres, it is better to have a more specific optic. The spotted is not that much, in my humble opinion. Great stabilizer.

zeiss_sonnar135_f2-8cyZeiss Sonnar 135mm f/2.8 (C/Y)

Pros: Incredible, solid and fluid construction in motion. A real zeiss. Great sharpness, soft blurred to Ta. Modest cost

Cons: Minimum distance of maf, chromatic aberration to ta.

Opinion: When I started shooting I had a yashica, and I looked admired this optic without ever having it, now thanks to the ductility of the Ml I can use it with adapter ring (on a6000, aps-c). Of course his death is on a ff, here he becomes a bit too long for his native purpose, that is, the portrait. But it's a real pleasure to use it on fairly static subjects, complicating the mafia with moving subjects too close. On sharpness at the edges I can not say anything, because on aps-c they are not used. Highly recommended.

sony_a6000Sony A6000

Pros: Size, reactivity, AF, image quality iso minimum, resolution, viewfinder, good customization buttons, possibility to use any optical adapter.

Cons: noisy as soon as you raise the ISO, EVF just enough, battery life, unwieldy physical buttons, missing level

Opinion: to replace the grip of a NEX5, whose main defect the absence of the viewfinder and a poor display. A6000 in the image quality, with such a high resolution, it is very good only the minimum ISO. Raising them will immediately notice the noise and requires intervention of reduction being raw development. This is very workable in development and allow excellent recoveries of the shadows, just below the Nikon peers but a little better in the estate on the highlights. The viewfinder has just enough: on a sunny day on the snow did not see almost nothing, if it becomes a little dark shells quite a lot and the vision is very contrasted. In particular conditions, like dark clouds in the sky, the sun and then dark again, you notice an annoying glare (only in the viewfinder). Possibility finder adjustment even for presbyopic. Menu not well optimized, improved by Nex bad management but still much to do. The buttons are all configurable and is excellent news, unfortunately, they are difficult to find being flushthe camera body, you often have to take your eye from the viewfinder to see the position. A bit of camber and everything would be solved. With the gloves are unusable. Very comfortable the possibilities provided by using manual focus lenses, the magnifier settable image to a button (I recommend the one next to the shutter button) to peaking in 3 intensity and with different colors. Lacks the bubble, so many possibilities of bkt both in continuous and not. Af with a lot options and very responsive and precise with 16-70 sony, a little more cumbersome with the kit lens. rear display unusable with such external light, missing one st by efficient and if you forget to put the switch to off when you have the machine shoulder this stays on and drain the battery in a jiffy. The battery still lasts approximately 3-400 shots. The barrage is remarkable for a 24mpx, also the buffer is not bad especially if you put in jpeg (here I did a few tests but the first impression was not the best). Possibility of remote control infraredEven with a smartphone and an app is more control shooting. Possibility to install only an SD card.Come all machines require optical quality for quality shots, but given the high resolution here the issue is more delicate. Flash pretty ridiculous, on video..passo (there is a dedicated button). The battery charges only via micro USB plug, it lacks an external battery charger. Finally value - very good price.

samyang_12_f2ncsSamyang 12mm f/2.0 NCS CS

Pros: Value for money very high, compact and light, good sharpness

Cons: backlit performance, high chromatic aberration

Opinion: An excellent optics in support of my A6000, in trips lies in the jacket pocket. To be used as a bit all MF wide-angle lenses, in iperfocale. Excellent sharpness from 2.8 to F11, @ f2 drops but is still usable. Strong chromatic aberration in the light-shadows steps, however, if you use LR or CR results in development. quite low distortion, even here still correctable with a lens appropriate profile. Backlight is composed, for those who know him as the big brother 14 2.8 Samyang. Stella a little crude, flare and ghost easily occur and it takes more than a little care to decrease the effect on recovery. In conclusion, with such a price it is almost a crime not to have in the kit!

sony_zeiss16-70_f4Sony Vario-Tessar T* E 16-70mm f/4 ZA OSS

Pros: Lightweight, compact, well constructed, great design, stabilized

Cons: Highly priced, lack of physical AF off and stabilizer off, manual focus ring does not mechanically move the optics, drop in extreme angles with infinite maf to the minimum a and maximum focal length

Opinion: Used on A6000 by 24Mp. Meanwhile, let's just say one thing: it's the only zoom of this "serious" focus on the market with attack E, and seriously I can use it for all focuses and all the diaphragms. The sharpness is good in the center even at 16mm, less in corners with infinite maf. At intermediate focal points, the situation improves, and then returns to 70mm. It feels better at short distances at all focal lengths, very good at short distances, especially in portraits where a blur soft enough allows great shots. I have the feeling that 24 Mpx on an aps-c would crunch any zoom. However, everything can be solved in post, where you get good results with some MDC work. On the A6000, thanks to its lightness and compact size, it integrates very well. Being branded Zeiss T * would expect an excellent anti-loop treatment, and I must say that it is functional. The use in af is good, responsive and silent, unfortunately we can not say the same as in manual focus. The ring has no referenceEntities, it does not move the optical array and is difficult to use unless it has already been focused in af and then put into the machine manual because it sends the OFF AF physical button. In short, to use always and only in af. Not even the stabilizer, which empirically gave me the impression of earning up to 3 stops, can be excluded from the optics but needs to get uncomfortable in the a6000 menu. The hood is comfortable and quick to mount, less the cap that is difficult to remove-put. 55 Unusual Filter Attachment. Low price for a Zeiss optic, in fact of this brand I would say it has only the badge, while it is very Sony in its approach and in the average performance. In conclusion this is the best zoom with sony E attack, but certainly not the one with the best value for money. Nb .. corrected some considerations, June 2017

nikon_afs20_f1-8Nikon AF-S 20mm f/1.8 G ED

Pros: Sharpness throughout the frame, keeping the backlight, star, light weight, diameter filters 77

Cons: ring maf

Opinion: A great goal, compact and light enough thanks to the materials used (exceptional in this, thanks nikon!). Excellent tightness and excellent backlighting of the star point lights. Suffer from a bit of a coma to a ta angles, sharpness even at ta is very good and no important decays of the d600 sensor 24mpx. The movement of the maf ring is very, very short and if this allows a maf in af fast, used in manual is very difficult to focus as a minimum shift coincides with a decisive change of maf floor, just a nothing and infinity you find yourself 0.4 meters !. Here I miss the old classics af, unfortunately. A vote less for the ring and the coma in point lights in the corners at TA. Distortion and AC contained, non-existent in developing the associated lens profiles LR.

nikon_18-35gNikon AF-S 18-35mm f/3.5-4.5 G ED

Pros: Lightweight and compact, crystal clear. rnrn

Cons: Distortion at 18mm evident, but is corrected with special sw. Stellato in the backlight rather ugly, much better than the 16-35 for example.

Opinion: I come from the right, I had the 12-24 and this 18-35g on FF has similar size, lighter weight, and performance in terms of risolvenza much better, especially at the edges. And to top it cheap, at least compared to many other nikon lenses. Plastic housing, but I also like that and not give me any problem frankly. Missing the stabilizer, but I've never had a stabilizer on wide-angle lenses that I use mostly on a tripod with a little chiusi.rnIl aperture wide-angle lens for the mountaineers, no doubt about it! (And thanks to its light weight and compact size allows you to use a tripod less challenging, especially with no wind.) Rnrn

nikon_35dxNikon AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8 G

Pros: incredibly low price, excellent sharpness from 2.8, very light and compattodistorsione and vignetting in the fuzzy normabuono

Cons: Construction plasticky, difficult to use it in manual focus, no indication of distance, only dx1, 8 is not his best iaframma, and it shows!

Opinion: Someone also uses it with a ta ff, cartoon a lot but just this peculiarity makes it interesting. From the best machine with high-resolution, and sharpness of this lens hits, such as low price obliges owners 16mpx and older to purchase it. Holds well flare, even if the star is not as convincente.rnDifficoltoso use it in the night, in manual focus do not understand where you are with the maf, the AF does not work at night to infinity if there is something well lit.

nikon_12-24dxNikon AF-S DX 12-24mm f/4 G ED

Pros: Excellent in backlight, with a beautiful starry also f11.rnLeggero and compact, it has the right extension as focal length for a zoomrnnitidezza the center always good, works well at small apertures when others suffer from wide-angle to mount più.rnPossibilità filtrirnBassa vignettaturarn

Cons: @ 12 mm rubbed corners, edges and ends are distorted in a way that sometimes you have to throw the picture. Especially in the vertical, if it happens at that point a construction makes this so distorted that the photo will be ruined. Distortion correction by software is not enough in these casi.rn @ f4 is not that great, and increases its limits if it is well to 12mm as I said sopra.rnQuesti defects are more pronounced with the d7000 that with 12mpx where the least resolution leveled a bit tutto.rnDifficoltoso use it in manual focus to a metric scale in approximate indications and corta.rn

Opinion: More homogeneous on 12mpx that on machines with higher pixel size, though at first I loved it now I find it less excellent, although the backlight rivals are very few still oggi.rnVà so good for landscapes (but not so much for those night) especially if we seek a compact lens, but I would use it for photos of architecture under 14 mm.rnHo tried to use it on film 35mm dia (f100) to 19 (where the vignetting is less clear) to 24mm, but it is an emergency solution and preferable to 24mm for the fall of sharpness at the edges and corners when used on a ff.rnDa purchased only used by very soppravalutato new from nikon in the price fool.

yashica_28_f2-8Yashica ML 28mm f/2.8

Pros: Optical low-cost, compact and lightweight construction is as good as they once did, distortion and contained ca.

Cons: Tendency to yellow, probably dates from the anti-reflective coating, shadows a little closed and high contrast.

Opinion: Perhaps the best of the series Yashica ML, used many years with slides on fx3 & 106.Adesso the use of adapter (uncomfortable because it becomes very long) on ??NEX5, with very satisfactory results in terms of sharpness Aperture best (on aps-c ). 2.8 RNA do not expect great wonders, even if it is ulitizzabile.rnOttica manual focus of course, but for me it is not a problem.
