![]() | Fujifilm GF 110mm f/2 R LM WR Pros: Image quality Cons: weight and overall dimensions Opinion: Used to 35 and 75mm on full frame, when I switched to GFX100s I took 45 f2.8 and 110mm f2 (roughly equivalent to an 85/90mm). The yield is simply excellent. Usually I close at least at f4 to have an adequate depth of field, but already at full aperture it is perfect. Uniques and flaws: it is very, very big and heavy. I envy Hasselblad a lens like the 90mm f2.5: shorter and a little darker, but much more compact and lighter: until Fuji offers a lighter and more compact 75mm equivalent, the 110 remains unfortunately irreplaceable for me. sent on March 17, 2025 |
![]() | Venus Laowa 20mm f/4 Zero-D Shift Pros: Angle of view Cons: Colors, contrast Opinion: I thought that on Fuji gfx100s could replace the Canon 17mm that for many years I used on Canon and then Sony. The 20mm focal length on GfX is optimal for me, but the optical rendering (colors and micro contrast) did not fully convince me and I resold it. I had also taken the dedicated collar: good idea, but the weight of the lens and the fact that the collar has the grip far from the center of gravity leads to a bending of the lens: it is not a precise tool. I took the Fuji 30mm ts and the optical performance, and the construction (including the collar engineering) are on another level (sure, it's not a 20mm) sent on August 30, 2024 |
![]() | Venus Laowa 9mm f/5.6 FF RL Pros: Extreme angle of view Cons: Colors, contrast, sharpness, distortion Opinion: I had previously had the 10mm Voigtlander which I was happy with. I thought, given the reviews, that the 9mm Laowa was optically better. The overall performance, given the colors, the contrast, the vignetting, the distortion, did not convince me and I resold it. I specify that I had the same negative feeling with the 20mm Laowa Shift for GfX Fuji: it was better than the 9mm, but colors and contrast, used to the original Fuji lenses, did not satisfy me and I sold it. I won't take any more Laowa without first trying them for myself sent on August 30, 2024 |
![]() | Fujifilm GF 30mm f/5.6 T/S Pros: Image quality, construction Cons: Weight, dimensions and price Opinion: Paired with the GfX 100s, it guarantees image quality and construction at the highest levels. Also excellent is the fact that a sensor detects the degrees of tilt and millimeters of Decentralization: in the future the software will be able to take this into account, even if now on my capture one it does not seem to me that there are functions to exploit such data. Unfortunately, it is very bulky when mounted with a collar and lens hood. For now there are no rings that allow you to mount the graduated filters, I hope they are produced by someone. Using it freehand Its weight over the shoulder for a day is felt quite a lot. sent on August 16, 2024 |
![]() | Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH II Pros: Exceptional sharpness Cons: Cost Opinion: Tried on m11 and Sony a7r3, alternating it with my beloved summilux asph first series. I specify that with my summilux I took satisfactory photos and I wanted to make a comparison just out of curiosity. My old summilux, on the details seen 100 percent on the plane of focus, comes out simply asphalted. The new summilux is monstrous (of course it's not only sharp, it's an excellent lens throughout). sent on January 03, 2023 |
![]() | Fujifilm GF 45mm f/2.8 R WR Pros: Lightweight and relatively compact, excellent image quality Cons: For now nothing Opinion: At the first exit with the gfx100s, I decided to take with me only this lens equivalent to a 35mm or so. It did not disappoint me: sharp, beautiful progressive blur, bright the right (2.8 on medium format is fine, I do not need more extreme blur, even if I come from the 35 summilux leica m). I haven't put the auto focus to the whip yet, but it seems to me that it does what it takes with eye tracking sent on November 28, 2022 |
![]() | Fujifilm GFX100S Pros: image quality, ergonomics, system with excellent lenses and on which old lenses fit easily Cons: None in its field of use, except moire and that 1/125 for flash is not much Opinion: Recently taken with 45 and 110, plus 20mm tilt-shift laowa. For now tested only with 45, it gave me very good feelings. It looks good in the hand, it focuses without problems (I have not yet tried dynamic situations, but for now the focus eye for what I do is fine). Fantastic image quality, but I did photo tests, in which I see moire on a wire mesh... In theory with the multi-click it should disappear, but it remains a big hassle because the multi-shot presupposes absolute immobility and can not always be done. sent on November 28, 2022 |
![]() | Voigtlander Apo-Lanthar 180mm f/4 SL Pros: Sharpness, colors and overall yield, compactness and lightness, construction Cons: Manually focusing at 180mm requires collaborative subjects Opinion: I use it on a7r3 and find it excellent for portraits and more. Compactness and lightness without equal for a 180mm. Of course sealing at 180mm manually is not a joke and when it globles vibrations are a problem. You can see it's apochromatic, great image quality. The microcontrasto is not excessive and I see it very balanced sent on May 24, 2021 |
![]() | Sony A7r III Pros: Image quality, flexibility, ability to use the techart pro for manual lenses Cons: Manual and menu is not clear; remote control using smartphone trainable; as with all sony mirrorless the sensor gets dirty easily optical switching because it remains exposed Opinion: I'm satisfied because it is a mature product, with excellent image quality, and allows you to use stabilised and with autofocus lenses that interest me particularly, as the summilux m, techart pro adapter. Very good the eye focus. I haven't tried the af with native fe: when I can, I will integrate the review sent on May 01, 2018 |
![]() | Sony A7r Pros: image quality, compact and lightweight Cons: autofocus system is evolved as the high-end SLR Opinion: After a year of use, I am fully satisfied: the choice I would do (I divested SLR 6d and 5d2 and its kit canon). RNLA use (along the a7) with objectives and leica r mm, tse canon, sony 55 fe zeiss and more. Fully satisfy me, and above all it is a pleasure to go out with 35 and 75 Summilux with a single shoulder strap type Blackrapid, without the weight of two cameras and without sacrificing anything in terms of quality (indeed) .rnScattare over 100mm becomes challenging if you want use the magnification for focusing freehand and with moving subjects is preferable a serious SLR with a lens with autofocus performance: however, on my way to photograph, that's fine too. sent on December 29, 2014 |
![]() | Leica APO Macro-Elmarit-R 100mm f/2.8 Pros: image quality Cons: weight and above all dimensions Opinion: Construction superb, a pleasure to touch (against the weight). The picture quality is unknown, and the lens is a very versatile medium telephoto, also great for portraits, and of course that is not afraid of close up given the magnification ratio. I have not ever tried it with the extra optical zoom ratio brings it to 1.1, but to do serious macro prefer other systems. rnNon entered my heart to the very end because usually I prefer the 75 Summilux M, but it is not his fault. sent on October 24, 2014 |
![]() | Leica Summilux-M 35mm f/1.4 ASPH Pros: size and weight in relation to openness and focal colors Cons: vignetting wide open, front cover that is easily lost in the street (in the version asph. FLE not) Opinion: I do not asph FLE version, gray in color. On sony a7r has a vignetting a bit 'over-the apertures, the rest is just great. rnHo goals sharper (type 55 sony fe F1.8 contends that the body with the leica 35), but every time I see a print made with a2 size 35 I do not think I could do it better. I do not know if it's a suggestion, but I'm so happy. sent on October 24, 2014 |
![]() | Leica Summicron-R 50mm f/2 Pros: Color, size and weight Cons: no one, except the obvious, ie that lacks focus Opinion: I have a model 1976 body "experience" but with excellent lenses. I was surprised by the delicacy of color rendition. A lens that costs little and makes a lot, is to have in the kit. Board of ride inside a bayonet leitax, or at least a ring Novoflex, to taste it on reflex or even better on sony a7-a7r (electronic viewfinder helps in focusing, which becomes perfect). sent on October 14, 2014 |
![]() | Leica Summilux-M 75mm f/1.4 Pros: relative aperture, blurry, colors, sizes and weight (size and weight are high, but they are a step ahead of the mediotele SLR that I used the canon 85L II) Cons: price Opinion: E 'was love at first sight. Construction superb, a pleasure to handle. The f1.4 aperture allows short time in low light, and the sharpness does not disappoint though. Mounted on a7r with adapter ring with helix to reduce the minimum distance of focus, even allows close up of the flower, with blurred and sharpness commovente.rnrnNon I tried the 75 and the 90 f2 aspherical perhaps give greater clarity yet, but I prefer a more extreme openness and clarity of the lens in my possession is already satisfactory. sent on October 14, 2014 |
