olympus_pen_ep3Olympus PEN E-P3

Pros: Beautiful, sturdy, spectacular build quality, touch screen, file quality at ISO base is in good light, double ring

Cons: File quality in low light, suffers in long exposures. Fixed Display

Opinion: A car lady, beautiful, mighty, beautifully finished and sturdy, really comes the urge to hold her and use it. Its ideal context is the reportage, at ISO base and with good or discreet light pulls out of the amazing files, if combined with optical race. Defects? Yes, the high ISO yield with low light and in general the yield on the long exposures, always noisy even with Dark frame automatic. For the rest, he can say his still today, eight years away from the commercialization... The touch screen (who uses Olympus knows) is a boon for the shot, although here is not articulated, has the integrated pop up Flashettino and the stabilizer (the old three axes) always works fine, although it does not reach the thrill performance of 5 axes. Adorable room, every now and then I'm tempted to separate but then I always go back to my steps and get out of time.

olympus_stylus1Olympus Stylus 1

Pros: Body almost of an OMD, amazing optics, formidable jpg, lightness, light meter on point af, integrated ND filter!

Cons: The size of the sensor, as obvious, invalidates the yield at high ISO, the zoom starts from 28 and not 24, only electric zoom, integrated flash little powerful ...

Opinion: What a compact, guys! For a year and a half I live happily with a micro 4/3 outfit that gives me a lot of satisfaction, in which one of the highlights is the photographic performance of the Olympus machines, whether they are the Pen series or OMD. I found myself with (almost) all the pros of mirrorless Olympus in this amazing compact, which made me fall in love ... the photographic performance (the jpg that returns within 400 iso are incredible), the integrated ND filter (associated with a of the numerous function keys) that allows you to shoot at full aperture even in full daylight, beautiful and resolute EVF, tiltable touch display, but above all its optics! A 28-300 equivalent f / 2.8 fixed and stabilized by the scary yield already at TA ... in a very light and small (but not tiny) body, there is practically an entire kit. The yield in good light is PAZZESCA and if you do not chase the pdc reduced to the hair, here is this Stylus 1 becomes the all-rounder perfect for trips, outings disengaged or in the family or otherwise to keep in any case ... the jpg are so ready (and configurableup to excess, between adjustments and filters art) that you can share them in real time or send them to the press via wi fi. The flaws I listed are never a real problem, except for the medium-high ISO yield: for charity, for the size of the sensor is obvious, only if you are familiar with the Olympus, it is natural to uzare this stylus exactly as an omd! Often, in fact, I forgot that it was not mine. Old em5 and I exaggerated with sensitivity that do not compete with this small sensor ... but if you do not ask the impossible, this little girl always manages to surprise and to satisfy the user, with which he manages to create a unique feeling! Operatively, due to the versatility and the quality of the optics, it does not regret richer kits! It would be great if Olympus decided to take out an updated version with a nice 1 "sensor ....

olympus_9bodycapOlympus 9mm f/8 Fish-Eye Body Cap

Pros: Intuitive, tiny and lightweight, the aberrations (if taken advantage of) give a look to the photos SOLE, used vehicle comes off at 50 euro ...

Cons: fixed iris sometimes a bit limiting, minimum distance maf not exactly uplifting

Opinion: taken in jest and without great expectations, he was missing a fisheye in neo-kit mft. I was amazed by a whole series of aspects. In against have not shown much, but let's face it, it is full of flaws: the fixed aperture makes little usable in low light conditions, it is not a sharpness sample, the minimum distance of maf is not reduced as expected and when framing light sources (both natural and artificial) generates a series of horrifying aberration but ... beautiful! and this is the point: if you consider the price and weight down and you enter in order to exploit the flaws to their advantage, knows prove a small notch that gives a unique mood to the photos! We must NOT ask him very clearly and even a correct behavior. It is little more than a pinhole which deforms, a sort of vetraccio exquisitely Lomo flavor which, if included, knows unleash the creativity of the user. rnSe are looking for a classic fisheye, clean and the sharpest, look elsewhere or think in any case to a coaching (whatwhich will soon even I, throwing on MFT or an Olympus Samyang 8mm Pro occasion) .rnda use is intuitive to most, just five minutes to familiarize with the lever with three positions fuoco.rnMi we enjoy, it makes me mad, not begrudge on ISO and then PP even more the image dirt, estremizzo, the violent without thinking too much: the result satisfies me, despite the beginning has blown away when not used in optimal light conditions. a lens that is not a lens, from the creative potential unattainable in relation to its cost. Brilliant and beautiful, definitely unique ... rn

panasonic_leica15Panasonic Leica DG Summilux 15mm f/1.7 ASPH

Pros: very bright, extreme sharpness, even at full aperture, build quality, very full set of equipment, lightning-fast AF and always accurate

Cons: not cheap, some chromatic aberration too TA, pronounced barrel distortion, aperture ring unusable on Olympus bodies

Opinion: Use this view of the body Olympus OMD E-M5 Mark I; was my first choice compared to the Canon 17mm Zuiko, for the huge image quality and extreme sharpness at TA, really left me stunned from the very first tests. tonal passages are soft but microcontrast is exciting! full backlighting can be almost equally affected and clear in the focus areas, with no loss of detail and the minimum MAF very small distance (less than 15 cm from the lens front) allows different design possibilities and excellent detachment of the subjects in the first plane from the background to TA and dintorni.rnabituato at 35mm on full frame, this 30mm equivalent offers me some chance in the composition in terms of the "breath" of the image, making it a handy handyman who is really well with both a 25mm (better than 35mm-50mm can be the combination of full-format) to a 45mm.rnla build quality is incredible, remains un'ottica tiny and lightweight but construction standards in line Leica, with the use of high quality materials that give a sense of enormous reliability and robustness. the focus ring is moving for precision and fluidity, the aperture ring makes it a small object from the very vintage mood, too bad that it is usable only on the Panasonic bodies (on Olympus, the iris control is delegated to the single dial on the camera body ). The standard equipment is amazing: bag for transportation, hood metal alloy (among other very nice!), Rear cap and ... well TWO front caps. the distinction, in fact, is that without using a lens hood cap, and if you decide to keep it mounted, unscrew a small protective flange of the hood and engage the same thread, with its own specific rubber stopper! frankly, given the size, I prefer to keep the fixed lens hood also and above all in the frontale.rnveniamo lens protection cons: suffers from chromatic aberration in controluce wide open, which tend to disappear from f / 2.8: however nothing ingestibile.rnLa barrel distortion is quite evident on RAW.rnNon have no idea how to behave correction of Panasonic bodies, but the one applied to the machine JPG Olympus is fairly decisive, even if the manual control of the distortion by Olympus Viewer 3 on RAW, guarantees even migliori.rnnon cheap in an absolute sense, but considering that it comes off about fifty Euros more than the 17mm f / 1.8 Zuiko and is slightly brighter, infinitely more beautiful, the better the yield at room temperature and above all much more complete in the endowment level of evenings (at Zuiko missing even the hood, sold separately!), I would say that it can easily become a better choice ponderata.rnconsigliatissimornrn

tamron_70-200_f2-8Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 Di LD

Pros: great image quality, super price-competitive, quality construction

Cons: lack of stabilizer, not to tropical AF lightning. weight, for the country category, for me there is no problem at all, even if it is a twig!

Opinion: bell'obiettivo large, from quality / price ratio deadly! optical quality excellent, even at TA is really sharp and rich in detail, fully usable in almost any lighting condition. The yield is uniform at all focal lengths, the bokeh is incredibly creamy and wonderful to see, he gives his best in the second half of static subjects, is not purely voted (by auto-not just lightning and because tropical conditions) to photos action or sports; I consider it an excellent glass portrait and shooting in the theater. Solid and well made but large, heavy (as it is obvious for a tele-zoom with 2.8 excursion inside) and not stabilized: for long-term use needs at least a monopod, with which you can shoot even (slightly) below safety times without too many worries. Under good light AF is responsive and precise, in poor light hesitates a little, but nothing that made me cry foul. rnle aberrations cromabout potential are truly contained and are found only in the lower aperture of f / 4, in particular cases of strong contrasts of light or backlight, so you almost never need correction in PP.rnAl cost which is new (bought 490 Euro + Shipping, Nikon mount, European warranty), almost not worth it look used, as the price difference is too often laughable! I recommend it without reservation to anyone who needs large openings and the highest optical quality, without sacrificing the versatility of a zoom.

samyang_8fisheye_f3-5iiSamyang 8mm f/3.5 UMC Fish-eye CS II

Pros: sharpness, quality / price ratio, design possibilities

Cons: none, except for a slight drop in performance at full aperture

Opinion: I extensively discussed on the forum, the quality of this lens from the cost / performance ratio unmatched! It 'a fisheye, you should be aware of choice and once you add in the kit, you have to tune into it. The risk of using it in a cloying is high, the lens must be tamed in case of specific uses, such as photographs of interiors or architecture. Outdoors it is simpler and can be used without worries as breathtaking ultra wide, if carefully leveled and with well-defined horizons. But it is in other uses, the less responsive, the Samyang gives the greatest satisfaction! once you understand the essence, the creative possibilities are virtually endless and that corner of the field and distortion that never cease to surprise even for a moment, offering insights simply unthinkable until just before you look through the viewfinder. is a manual focus, but this is the least of the problems because the focus, setting fire to 1.5 metrYou and closing the diaphragm of at least a pair of stop, you always have everything in focus. Sharpness literally spectacular, it has a decay sensitive only at full aperture, the decay that, in my example, disappeared since F / 4.5.rnNulla to say, except that the price which it is proposed to date, is a "must have", was if only to remove his whim to see the world as it had never seen before, including their standing in the frame !!! Excellent, no ifs, ands or buts. until recently, his only problem was to cover only the smaller size: now I know that, if I wanted to make the jump, I would find the equivalent for full frame, which promises to be even better than this. and, in any case, if it does not take the spark, it sells easily, wasting very little
