Tamron 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3 Di III RXD Pros: Focal range, sharpness, compactness, price Cons: Brightness Opinion: Excellent tele that you can take home at a really competitive price. I found it to be very responsive and with good image quality. The lens is compact and on the Sony ML it is absolutely manageable in terms of ergonomics. I've taken it with me on many treks, and it's a great lens; Obviously it is not bright but at this price and with this size you can't expect more. sent on 15 Febbraio 2026 |

Tamron 24mm f/2.8 Di III OSD M1:2 Pros: Price, sharpness Cons: AF, Cormatic Rendering Opinion: Lens used on the A7r2, therefore, tested with a demanding sensor. It has never driven me crazy about color rendering. On the other hand, the lens is very sharp at TA and has a focal length that I find very interesting. Slow and sometimes inaccurate af in low light. Honestly, however, on the second-hand market it is 130/140 euros and I think it's a bargain. sent on 15 Febbraio 2026 |

Sony FE 50mm f/1.8 Pros: Sharpness, value for money. Cons: Cumbersome Af Opinion: Classic 50 1.8 on Fullframe. I could stop here... I think that, for the cost, it is a lens to have in the kit because the so-called "normal focal length" is always excellent for many uses and allows you to play from reportage to portraiture. Personally I found it very sharp even at TA, the color rendering I have always found a bit flat... Really slow and noisy af sent on 15 Febbraio 2026 |

Sony FE 24-70mm f/4 ZA OSS Vario Tessar T* Pros: Sharpness, constant aperture, color rendering Cons: For the price paid, nothing Opinion: I have used this much-criticized lens for a long time on the A7r2 and, therefore, on an extremely demanding sensor. Personally I found the zoom to be great: the sharpness is not record-breaking but it has always been good; I have always found the color rendering excellent and I have always brought home good shots. For the cost it has in the second-hand market I can only recommend it! sent on 15 Febbraio 2026 |

Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.8 G Pros: Nirideness, bokeh, price Cons: Honestly, I didn't find any Opinion: Classic portrait optics with a very good price-performance ratio. I have owned and used this lens with satisfaction on the D610 and D800E and, in both cases, it has always performed great. I've always found it very sharp and with a pleasant bokeh even on the demanding sensor of the D800E. I think you can't ask for anything better at this price. sent on 15 Febbraio 2026 |

Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.8 G Pros: Light, razor-sharp, bright, inexpensive Cons: Plasticky but well put together Opinion: Lens that is a great classic: 50mm 1.8 on FF. A must-have lens that cannot be missing in a photographer's kit: it costs little, yields a lot and has a focal length that allows you to do everything. A classic. Among the 50 1.8 he had, he is one of the best. I really appreciated the fast AF (compared for example with the Sony 50 1.8). A must-have! sent on 14 Febbraio 2026 |

Nikon AF 20mm f/2.8 D Pros: Sharp at apertures over 5.6; Lightness, colour rendering Cons: AF, not very resolving on dense sensors Opinion: Lightweight and compact lens with excellent construction. Used in the past on the legendary D700 it gave me photos with beautiful and little distorted colors. Obviously you can see that it is a lens born for film and on dense sensors (D800E) it struggled. AF a bit cumbersome but nothing tragic, on the contrary. A great classic. If you find it at an honest price I think it is a good purchase. sent on 14 Febbraio 2026 |

Nikon AF 35-70mm f/2.8 Pros: Color rendering, sharpness, bokeh Cons: Slow AF, limited focal length (especially on the wide-angle side) Opinion: Optics that I literally loved on FF. Used mainly on D800E (so 36 mpx) and gave me wonderful shots: faithful and rich colors; very very nice bokeh. For the price (if you find a healthy specimen) it is a must have. I, personally, have used it a lot. The only note (but it is an outdated lens...) is the slowness of the af... sent on 13 Febbraio 2026 |

Nikon AF-S 28mm f/1.8 G Pros: Light, sharp, bright, excellent value for money Cons: I honestly didn't find any Opinion: This 28mm is perhaps one of the lenses that I most regret of my Nikon FF kit. Fabulous lens as an all-rounder (but here the subjectivity of your photographic eye comes into play...). The brightness is great, as is the sharpness. It returns beautiful colors and an excellent bokeh (also used with satisfaction for some set portraits). Personally I think it is a must-have in the trousseau. sent on 13 Febbraio 2026 |

Ricoh GX200 Pros: Easy handling, CCD sensor, good focal range (24-70 eq) quite bright if you think about compactness. Cons: Operational slowness, low resolution (by now..), file that "does not forgive" Opinion: Had it for a long time. I kept it with me on those occasions when I couldn't physically have a photographic kit with me: it is the progenitor of the ricoh GR with the difference that it has a decent 24-70 equivalent lens (I must say also quite good). The sensor is an old CCD that returns very beautiful colors and b/w with character. On the other hand, the file is (obviously) quite rigid, you can't play with it much in post, you have to shoot well. One of the trade-offs is the lack of intuitive direct controls for working in M (but in such a small body it could only be so). One of its characteristics is a certain operational slowness that forces you to reflect... sent on 04 Febbraio 2026 |

Nikon D700 Pros: Very nice construction, ergonomics, file Cons: He feels the weight of the years and weighs... Opinion: Incredible machine, a milestone for the FF world. I used it as a second body and I must say that it gave me a lot of satisfaction. The 12 mpx may seem few today but they allow you to obtain excellent results. ISO tightness and dynamic range are affected by age, of course. At the same price I think you can find cameras with less pro but more modern bodies but this remains a wonderful object that still churns out great photos sent on 01 Febbraio 2026 |

Sony A6000 Pros: Value for money, image quality, ergonomics, portability Cons: Difficult to find .. Opinion: A machine that I have had twice as a second body. Ultra-high-performance APSC sensor with a nice performance. The files are usable up to 3200 iso. The dynamic range is excellent (bearing in mind that it is an apsc sensor). Excellent construction and good ergonomics while remaining compact. On the photo side, it is not so far from the current Sony apsc. An excellent acquired despite his age. sent on 01 Febbraio 2026 |

Sony A7r II Pros: Razor-sharp and malleable file, incredible dynamic range, construction, ergonomics. Cons: Not exaggerated drums (but with due care it lasts long enough), very flat files that must be known how to enhance in post. Opinion: Machine that I had and used for four years with satisfaction (even in the semi-professional field). The file is incredible in detail, cleanliness and malleability. Dynamic range is essential and shadow recovery allows you to recover objectively wrong photos. I didn't really appreciate the colors that have to be "pulled out" in post, the file is very flat and needs handle in post (this is not a real defect but it's fair to say, it's not a beginner's machine. sent on 01 Febbraio 2026 |

Nikon D800E Pros: PRO body, ergonomics, image quality, dynamic range, viewfinder. Cons: Maybe the weight... but honestly I always took it everywhere. Opinion: This camera represents my longest association after the experience with the D3200, D7200 and D610. She proved to be extremely versatile, excelling in landscape photography but also performing very well in reportage and events. Although the 36 MP requires conscious management, once mastered, the performance is extraordinary: the image quality is superlative and the colorimetry excellent. Contrary to expectations on such dense sensors, I have never encountered micro-blur problems, always obtaining clean files. The resilience of the sensor in shadow recovery is also surprising, still very current despite the age of the project. A truly sublime machine. sent on 31 Gennaio 2026 |

Nikon D7200 Pros: Semi-pro body, image quality, build quality Cons: Honestly, I've never found any... given away to switch to FF. Opinion: A model to which I am deeply attached as it was a graduation gift from my parents. Semipro body, scary image quality for an APS-C, precise af... Incredible car that has remained very current in my opinion. Another thing that I have always appreciated about nikon bodies is the ergonomics: it grips very well and the controls are all in place! sent on 31 Gennaio 2026 |

Nikon D610 Pros: Quality, lightness, dynamic range, lightness for a fullframe reflex Cons: Viewfinder and af (compared with other nikon FF) Opinion: I had the nikon D 610 for a short time but I must say that I took beautiful photos with it and I have a beautiful memory of it (at the time I changed to achieve my dream: the nikon D800E). Perfect files, very beautiful colors, great ISO tightness and dynamic range that would be the envy of modern ML. A balanced and balanced machine. If I had to recommend a first "serious" machine I think I would recommend the D610. sent on 31 Gennaio 2026 |

Nikon AF 70-210mm f/4 Pros: Size, f / 4 constant, sharpness, color rendering, Cut of plans af / 4 Cons: Af cumbersome but precise, the front lens rotates Opinion: Truly staggering when you consider the price at which you buy a canvas "70-200" f / 4. I wanted to replace the Tamron 70-300 VC that I did not like as unfocused and was cumbersome. rnDecido to make the madness and sell a new economic tele-stabilized Ultrasonic af to take this nikon 70-210 .... you say I'm satisfied: increased sharpness, Cut plans af / 4 very nice, compact and with constant travel (what no small feat when compared Tamron pack size of 300 mm).

Tokina RMC 28mm f/2.8 Pros: Sharpness, color rendering, Dimensions Cons: For the cost nothing Opinion: I tried a focal between 35 and 40 mm equivalent on APS-C Nikon (D7200) to use as a handyman. I came across the tokina almost by accident and, given the truly ridiculous price, I bought it to see if focal eq. really she did for me. Basically I bought it to test 28 mm and resell (even gaining a few tens of euro). I finally held and has won a place in my kit until you get to be my lens street. Crisp, very resolving (24 mpx on the right are not really comfortable ...) and with a nice resa.rnNe recommend buying if you have the luck to find it. sent on 16 Febbraio 2017 |

Tokina AT-X Pro 11-16mm f/2.8 DX II Pros: Sharpness, screw filter, f / 2.8, construction Cons: Flare, limited zoom range Opinion: First-ever ultra wide-angle must say it is really a goal to have if you have an APS-C kit. Crisp even at TA already af / 5 is a blade. For me it is already irreplaceable for the way I take pictures (I use it for landscape and street) .rnL'f / 2.8 is a plus that pee those who want to try their hand at night photography is essential; not also overlook the fact of the possibility of mounting filters vite.rnCostruzione granite (on my D3200 feels, improves if you use your BG) .rnUnica thing you have to learn to deal with is the tendency to flare ... but nothing dramatic ... you will see that picture once tamed this lens. sent on 03 Novembre 2016 |

Sony E PZ 16-50mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS Pros: focal length, 16 mm, stabilization, sharpness between f / 8 and f / 11, compactness Cons: Vignetting and distortion at 16mm, brightness, "PZ" requires habit Opinion: I use it in conjunction with a Sony NEX-5R taken as the body ultra compact to carry with me always and for this purpose the objective in question is ideal: the ML is ultra-compact and can be worn without feeling clutter. For these purposes the 16-50 kit makes to himself: they range from wide angle to medium telephoto, with all the limitations of the case, of course, but for street and landscape (where you can do without large openings) think it ottimo.rnE 'a honest goal to have it constantly bring home excellent file and on the NEX 5R sensor 16 MPX is really good in my opinion as risolvenza.rnPer against 16 mm with marked distortion (still recoverable PP) but can also be exploited almost like a simil.fish eye (take with tweezers this statement); the problem is that I do not love the strong vignetting in photos but then such a compact lens that ranges from 16 to 50 mm motorized and stabilized optical requires compromise so we can pass sopra.rnIl Power Zoom requires a custom poo but photographing with a ML no viewfinder comes in handy but the first time is difficult. rnConsiglio the purchase of used you saw the price and you have a tuttofre with the footprint of a fixed (with all the compromises necessary). sent on 03 Giugno 2016 |

Sony NEX-5R Pros: Compactness, Construction, Quality RAW, Swivel Screen Cons: Honestly at the time no one .... Opinion: I purchased as a second camera body, in reality it is becoming an accessory that I always carry with me like a pair of sunglasses. The low weight and size (with sony 16-50) are compact and allows you to bring more excellent RAW home. rnProprio quality RAW surprised me: the 16-megapixel sensor is great: it generates sharp images with little noise and with bright and vivid colors. He was surprised by the recovery of lights and shadows that you can not get in PP.rnIl Achilles heel was to be the AF but honestly for my kind of picture, for the moment, he never missed a shot (thanks also to that this was the first ML Sony to mount the hybrid AF). RNLA construction in magnesium with a small rubber grip is great, it holds well and the orientation features you can really get creative and use it with a "viewfinder". rn sent on 02 Giugno 2016 |

Manfrotto Pixi Pros: Construction Brand, strength, size Cons: At the time nessuno..forse the jerky head Opinion: Purchased by the dearth of main tripod in some situations: resting on the ground or against a wall offers a good alternative when you leave "light" (perhaps during a visit to a city of art). Bears the weight of D3200 with BG and Tamron VC 70300 .... So for 20 euro I could not ask for more. I recommend it as a ubiquitous accessory in zainoborsa. sent on 07 Maggio 2016 |

Nikon AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8 G Pros: Sharpness, Brightness, Bokeh Cons: Construction Only DX (but not cost so little if it were otherwise) Opinion: Personally, it was my first hard and makes you really understand what you mean by "depth of field." Montanto of APSC become the most classic of goals: the fifty. The sharpness is excellent from F2.5 up but already at full aperture nn disappoint. Blurred that returns is pleasant and brings out the subject very well. Pleasing the bokeh effect. rnIo I think it's a must have in the kit of a photographer: it makes you discover and love the fixed .... and you create a dependency (pity that Nikon does not devote more fixed DX ... a 20 and a 85 would be perfect). rnAnche on a day with pale and flat light if you play with the details and the depth of field will always bring home good shots ... it teaches you to use your legs instead of zooming and, more importantly, it forces you to think and reflect on composizione.rnPer against the construction is not the best ... leggerino and nut MF dancer ... but the price game ........ rn sent on 01 Maggio 2016 |

Tamron SP 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di VC USD Pros: Quality / price, VC system, pleasing Of Focus, Construction, Lens FF Cons: Brightness (but for the price ......) Opinion: Personally I find this a winning lens from the quality / price ratio: FX VC lens and top of the range. First of all I think is to highlight the fact that the lens is FX and thus of APSC sensor is used only the "heart" of the lens reducing distortion and chromatic aberration (in fact I have not found it). rnUn applaud Tamron for its VC image stabilization system, really good. rnForse a bit more brightness would be welcome ... but then the price would lievitato.rnHo noticed a great blur (bokeh "onion" typical Tamron) in portraiture. rnInsomma a lens that is bought and held in life because it's not extreme classic paintings that always makes comodo.rn sent on 23 Aprile 2016 |

Nikon AF-S 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Pros: zoom range "right", sharpness between f8 and f13, resistance to flare, construction, color rendering Cons: A bit 'dark, lack of window Opinion: I took this as the first goal instead of the classic 18 55 and 18 105. The quality is undoubtedly superior both in level of construction (bayonet metal) and image quality. I have noticed an excellent sharpness from f / 8, but also to defend more openings, the color rendering is good and does not distort the minimum excursion. rnApprezzabile in my view the range of focal lengths covered: in output "light" you can just bring this goal and bring home good images. rnDa a good yield on the latest 24-megapixel sensors from being able to exploit them to meglio.rnMaf through to precise ultrasonic motor, fast and quiet (a proven engine once there it bears more Ultrasonic). Vr effective for focal dell'obbiettivo.rnForse competence a little 'dark, but the aperture is about average for the membership-end objective. The most unsympathetic lack is the window to focus. sent on 23 Aprile 2016 |

Nikon D3200 Pros: 24 megapixel sensor, sensor comparable to a medium-high a few years back-end machine, ease of use Cons: skinny commands, keeping more than 400 ISO, MAF Points Opinion: It 'was my first SLR and allowed me to approcciarmi already with a very high quality sensor that allows you to churn out quality files especially if coupled with quality goals. The noise is not excessive up to 800 ISO but it is recoverable, and for a entry level SLR with a sensor so handsome is not bad (about the EXPEED 3) processor. When "we grow" he feels the lack of physical controls (eg double wheel) and a MAF more sofisticata.Comunque is to keep as a second camera body. sent on 25 Gennaio 2016 |

AmazonBasics Treppiede con impugnatura a pistola 177cm Pros: Stability, Price / quality, interchangeable head Cons: Weight (but if you want stability is the price you pay) Opinion: Bought when he was promoted to almost 50 Euros out of curiosity. I was surprised by the quality of the product (in relation to the price). Stable and secure allows long exposures without fear gives shake, the "legs" opening to allow the spider to indulge themselves with the resume points.

Panasonic Lumix FZ48 / FZ47 Pros: Portability, bright Leica optics, CCD Sensor, Zoom Not exasperated that maintains the quality of the picture. Cons: Do not shoot in RAW, Noise after 400 ISO Opinion: Using this machine for about a year and I'm very happy: it allows me to make good photos in every field of use: from landscape to macro in all light conditions. Excellent build quality of the camera body. The CCD sensor and Leica optics allow you to make sharp images and colors faithful to reality without noise. various shooting programs and well optimized, but I personally do not use as they prefer to give all the settings manually (and from this point of view is a very good car-gym for people like me who started a relatively short time). sent on 07 Novembre 2013 |
