The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Sony FE 28-70mm f/2 GM Pros: Sharpness, blur, character, versatility. Cons: Weight and dimensions Opinion: A lens for which I have always envied the Canonists. Apart from the weight and dimensions (which in any case could have been much worse, so bravo Sony once again), the performance and the character worthy of vintage lenses that I had on Leica M repay the economic and transport effort. Having a complete kit with a fixed aperture has been the dream since I started photographing in 1999. Sharpness is excellent anywhere in the frame at any aperture and distance, but despite that, it doesn't feel as cool and clinical as the 24-70 GMII sibling I had previously. The blur is wonderful with its almost vintage rendering and the gradualness worthy of the best 70s-80s fixed lenses has made it my favorite lens among all the ones I own (50 1.2 GM, 85 1.4 GMII, 35 1.4 GM, 24 2.8G). If you can afford it, don't hesitate. sent on February 11, 2025 |
 | Leica Q3 Pros: Viewfinder, LCD, AF, Sensor, Design Cons: AF can be improved, viewfinder that shoots a lot in low light Opinion: As the owner of many Leica M and the first Q, this is certainly a big step forward for the whole ecosystem. Nothing new on the lens front that is always excellent from every point of view, despite the fact that it is still the usual 24mm digitally corrected to about 28mm, much faster AF than the previous one (inherited from Panasonic S5II) but still far behind Sony, so to speak. On the other hand, this kind of camera should be enjoyed for its relatively slow nature that helps to weigh each shot. EVF and LCD viewfinder improved a lot but as soon as the light is low everything becomes jerky (the 120fps, when set manually, is obtained only in broad daylight otherwise in low light conditions it can even reach 10fps at a glance). With new firmware (2.01) AF and power-on time has been improved. In general I am very satisfied, being used to the pros and cons of this object which, if used in the right way, turns the cons into further advantages. The sensor, apparently derived from Sony, is excellent in every respect and the stabilizer has been improved compared to Q and Q2, but not yet reaching the levels of Sony and company. The battery drops quickly in "normal" use but guarantees those claimed 350/400 shots (always take two). The USBC charge is excellent, for me the wireless one is not useful as well as the inexpensively expensive accessories to be able to take advantage of it. With the original charger, the charge takes place in an exaggeratedly slow way: I hope everything will benefit the life of the batteries themselves, given the cost of 180e each. If a certain type of photography is what you love (reportage, ambient portrait, street photography) this is a possible definitive camera and the typical Leica user experience is always there. sent on February 03, 2024 |
