The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Gitzo Traveler GT1555T Pros: Lightweight, compact, granitic, fluid in movement, if purchased in kit with the GH1382TQD head you have a considerable saving Cons: Very expensive, lack of a travel bag. Opinion: Over the years I have gained the conviction that spending thousands of euros to get the top in terms of photographic equipment, it makes no sense to look for savings on the tripod, the element that in fact can be decisive a) to bring home the picture b) to preserve the integrity of the equipment. Gitzo has always been synonymous with the highest quality, with the reputation, sometimes undeserved, of costing too much in relation to what it offers. But the difference between a Gitzo and a very good Benro lies in the fact that in the first case you have a monolith on your hands, made with the best materials and to resist over the years. Usually when buying a Gitzo, the tripod issue is set aside for a long time because it is "the peace of mind": D This does not mean that others are scarce, but that, simply, so often a spending at first sight excessive , can find a more than valid justification.rnI purchased this tripod in kit with the excellent head GH1382TQD on amazon.de (with a remarkablesavings, if you understand), so that he could accompany me on trips where I did not have the possibility to bring something bigger and with greater reach .. well it turned out to be my main tripod, at least for the photos of landscape. It weighs just a kg (plus the head) and has a length, closed, just 35 cm, which also does not change even with the head mounted, closing "backwards". This also allows you to significantly reduce the minimum shooting height, being able to mount the camera upside down.rnThe movement of the legs "out of the box" is perfect, and even after several uses did not require any adjustment. The supplied head is fluid, monolithic as the tripod and a real pleasure to maneuver.rnThe maximum capacity of 10kg is enough to withstand the load that a professional camera with large aperture lenses requires. I used it with series 1 or 5 and 16-35, both f4 and f2.8. Clearly with these weights you do not have tonot even half the maximum capacity, and a tripod of this type is unlikely to be used for other purposes. The fact remains that on products of this type it is always preferable to remain wide and never get too close to the maximum load.rnThe maximum height is just under 140 cm: a few cm more would have been appreciated, but it was impossible to keep then compact the product is closed. In this regard, the choice to have 5 sections is in fact obligatory, but in full Gitzo tradition this is not a limit. Given also the section of the legs, it is surprising how this tripod is granitically anchored to the ground.rnFor the aforementioned portability, the size and lightness would make it suitable to include it in hand luggage, but it is always good to inquire carefully, because an official too he could refuse to board it, causing it to end up in the hold without any protection. It's a risk, but when I travel by plane, I prefer to place it directlyn suitcase, adequately protected.rnIn definitive it is an exceptional product, the main flaw is the lack of a travel bag (present instead a strap to carry it over the shoulder or arm). Price is a very subjective matter. Certainly will never be counted among the "pros", but returning to my initial speech, so many times we spend thousands of euros to get the top in terms of cameras and lenses. If the tripod is an element that we often use, I find it makes sense to enter the order of ideas to claim the top even in this area, and Gitzo from this point of view never disappoints. sent on December 09, 2017 |
 | Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM II Pros: sharpness, stabilizer, af speed, excellent yield with the 1.4x multiplier, minimum distance maf Cons: maybe for some the price Opinion: After you have had, in the past, 100-400 (The series), 400 5.6, Tamron 150-600, last year I decided to buy a used 500 I series. However I realized almost immediately that I was missing something light for track use (and for hunting touring). So just introduced the new 100-400 I decided to buy it without even waiting for a review (as I did with the 16-35 f4). As I have repeated to exhaustion, Canon has not failed a single lens in the last 4-5 years. He staked everything on optical correction, presenting in series goals pro as well as targets lower-end, which had always an extraordinary optical quality already at RT. This new 100-400 does nothing but confirm the trend, going, perhaps, to touch new heights with regard to uncompromising quality with a sharpness that the same parameters approaches and sometimes exceeds the 70-200 2.8 II, an af incredibly fast and quiet, accompanied by an IS very effective. To hear you talk about Canon's 4-stop, but I could not tell if there & ograve; true. The weight a bit 'higher than its predecessor, but it is still very comfortable solution for hunting and traveling in general for uses requiring outputs read. For comparison seemingly merciless, the new 100-400 has very little to envy to 500 fixed, which clearly remains on another level, not least to stop more light. rnPer regarding the multiplier, use the 1.4x III, which takes very little sharpness and makes the af only slightly slower. There remains however a solluzione emergency. rnNonostante the opening words, I believe that this lens is comparable only with the predecessor and partly with 400 fixed. The 150-600 remains an objective substantially different, primarily for weight and especially because it is in any case of two different bands. the fact of having focal lengths in common, does not mean that two goals are in direct competition. The 150-600 see it as a good way to get the focal sidereal without fainting. The 100-400 II is great as a "complement" and not born necessariamente to use fauna. Personally on track with 150-600 (not using the monopod), I wasted it arms after a few hours. The 100-400 makes it much less daunting task. In addition a 77 mm diameter filters allows me to use the set of filters nd that I, when I want to do panning estremo.rnCapitolo price .. not cheap, but it is pure excellence. I believe that with this lens Canon has outdone herself, creating a perfect object from all points of view. Currently is under 2000 euro without much effort, but it is still an easily salable. sent on March 05, 2015 |
 | Fujifilm X30 Pros: Good grip and weight which, although high, Rendeno well balanced the camera. Electronic Viefinder of great quality and with an acceptable frame rate. Commands well distributed, widely personalizzabie. Offers many creative possibilities, primarily the macro, a pleasant surprise. Good zoom range and mechanical ring particularly pleasant to use (but not practical). Image quality is very good, with some limits lens only at minimum focal. The colors have a special charm. Cons: General impression of slowness operational. performance at high ISO (for high mean> 800). Ignition system on and off absolutely contrary to any idea of ??practicality. The ring mechanics makes it less "compact" as used. Opinion: PREMISE VERY IMPORTANT: it is the first compact use after several years. Apart from some photos made with the iphone and a brief spell with a Panasonic G2 few years ago, in the last 7 years I took pictures only with reflex.rnrnHo bought this camera to have with me always a tool handy little if I could not (or did not want) to have me with weights and dimensions of reflex. The first impact, what about practicality and compactness, it was very very positive, but this is a distinguishing feature of all compatte.rnQuesta camera, than others in its class, turns out to be a little more bulky and heavy, but this is a I see a problem, given that the use is very well balanced. rnPer who habitually uses a camera, the zoom ring is an attractive and pleasant, but after the initial satisfaction, happiness passes when one realizes that a zoom "to compact" place near the shutter button, the make used, if necessary, with ahanded. rnal beyond the details and functions, what interested me was, however, the image quality. I was a bit 'doubtful given the size of the sensor, but the many positive reviews, even the x20, convinced me to try. Well, from this point of view, I must have been mistaken resounding because last night the photos that seemed pitiful, now seem super. For this reason I decided to leave pending the review that, however, after reviewing the photos I can say that will surely be very positive. rn sent on November 26, 2014 |
 | Tamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD Pros: 600 mm, image quality to scream up to 400 mm, however superb up to 600, effective stabilizer, relationship quality / price ratio Cons: AF does not really performing with some camera bodies, limiter almost useless Opinion: I purchased the Tamron to replace the 400 5.6 which I used almost constantly with the multiplier mk III Canon 1.4. I've thought for a long time because the canon is a lens in and of itself was superb. However, I am convinced enticed by 600 mm. Used on 5D MK III have not been happy with the behavior of AF, at least in my early experiments in birdlife. In the circuit, actually did extremely well. 70d On the other hand I was amazed by the speed, accuracy and ease of engagement. That said, the picture quality is at times embarrassing as it is high, at least considering that it is a zoom lens with a wide focal length range. Do not make me regret for anything canon, indeed, I could not be happier. sent on June 20, 2014 |
