panasonic_leica42Panasonic Leica DG Nocticron 42.5mm f/1.2 ASPH OIS

Pros: Optical quality, sharpness, stabilization

Cons: Price, hood, tropicalization

Opinion: Spectacular lens, change the story. Superb 85mm equivalent with 1.2 aperture, incredible for the quality of the files produced. Soft and sharp at the same time. Maybe the best I've ever tried. I really enjoyed the stabilization that works with the Panasonic G9 in an incredible way. Needless to say, the price is high, but it's a gem. I do not understand why it is not tropicalized and they used the metal hood, I do not like it. I really liked it and I made a review on my channel. What a lens...!!!!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeYES4LdXwI

olympus_m7-14_f2-8Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 7-14mm f/2.8 Pro

Pros: Angle 14-28 equivalent - construction mode - MAF - programmable key

Cons: Don't have it in your kit

Opinion: A spectacular lens, the impression is of solidity and technology at very high levels. I use the lens for the street and it has no equal in colors and contrast. Changes in perspective justify an ultra-wide-angle zoom. Definitive in my kit. I reviewed the lens on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X1wSmsJHda8&t

fujifilm_xf10Fujifilm XF10

Pros: Beautiful, fantastic focal for the street, gets in your pocket, battery life, quality files

Cons: Large files 40mb, saving custom presets.

Opinion: I love the street, and I've been thinking about lightening up and becoming invisible for a while. After all, ml with lenses are still large, I use Canon RP and Sigma art 24mm ... I love it, now it's become my eye, but it's not always with me, it weighs, and it's not invisible. The xf10 is a very technical concept of the machine, in my opinion. The machine is easy, I think it is more for experts than for beginners. It is not comparable with other compact ones other than high-end APS or FF. At just over 250 euros it offers an aps sensor and the possibility of having post-produced JPG with film simulations and customizations on lights and shadows, etc. Too bad you can't save them. In the post in the car the big difference between the Canon universe and the Fuji universe. The flaw is too many megapixels and file size. A raw is about 40mb. for 25 photos it takes a GB Many talk about difficulty in focusing. It is certainly not a lightning bolt, but I do not find errors, as long as I put in the menu in the "savings management", "on" on "high performance". It definitely gets better. Excellent usb charging... in the concept of urban camera is almost indispensable. Simple, essential, without useless things like sledding and perhaps, removing frills makes it even more immediate, light, clean. I'm excited and believe it can push creative skills beyond the limits of an ML and traditional goals. It's much more than a smartphone, obviously it doesn't have the sim... but do you want to put the enjoyment of shooting and postproducing quality files on your smartphone with mobile lightroom? The ergonomics are fantastic. Two custom buttons you have which I assigned iso and the selection of the film simulation. Very practical bracketing on movie simulations. There's no mention of videos... also because I have pocket osmo and osmo action. Honestly it's not a machine you buy for videos.

xiaomi_redmi_note7Xiaomi Redmi Note 7

Pros: Camera, battery, performance

Cons: Size... but nn p a problem of his.

Opinion: Exceptional price quality ratio. Fast and with excellent performance, I installed Gcam and improved the overall quality of the video system. I am looking forward to the MIUI 11 which should further improve the user experience. I'm going to try the videos, even though I osmo Pocket. In this regard, the big screen and lightness are great for use with the Osmo pocket. You can see it.

canon_eos_rpCanon EOS RP

Pros: Speed focusing system, weight, ergonomics, sensor, price-quality ratio

Cons: Video System not complete.

Opinion: After 6 years of 6D, machine that I carried around the world and I know perfectly, I switched to Eos RP. Photographer portraits, street and still life. I've been experimenting With videos for a while. I find the RP an outstanding machine for those who shoot in my styles. Accustomed to the central 6D, the body certainly has in the system MAF the best innovation. It's very fast and accurate, my Sigma art works spectacularly. They are very precise and become blades. Certainly the electronics has greatly improved the characteristics and exploits the sensor to perfection. With a charge I did 597 shots (in my opinion not a few-no particular foresight, I used the live view). Excellent focus peaking on manual lenses (already used on M5). Under the photo profile for me is a 10... Especially on a system that costs 1350 euros and that has no compromises. For the street is fast in ignition, focus and, thanks to the reduced weight, you set the frame immediately. It is Not very small, but I move better with the RP than with the M5). In the profile of videos, great in full HD. In the 4k video they could push it more, in terms of frame rate. It Is worth waiting for Magic Lantern for Rp and R (currently being developed). For me it's a 7. A merit to lightness.... About 400 grams less than the 6D feel. Excellent the adjustable screen (which I had already on the 600D), allows you to do much more. Beautiful Colors and excellent yield to high ISO, considering the 26megapixels.

gopro_hero5GoPro Hero 5

Pros: Practicality of use, integration with Quik, is a little challenging way to have fun with friends, weight, sharpness

Cons: Battery life

Opinion: Taken after my son's insistence, I am not posting any more. Light, practical, hilarious, not a camera, nor a video system of thousands of euros, is a sophisticated object that finds its usefulness in the simplicity of use. Any comparison with professional systems is useless, but what makes you do the GoPro 5 are shots and photos you would not do with other systems. This difference must be understood. In the sense that it is a good completion of a corredoed is to be used in an exclusive mode (i.e. no alternative to the camera. Used on a trip to Tenerife I was amazed at the final product, a video of 150 Decondi which is the true summary of the trip done with my wife and 2 friends. On the other hand I took only 80 photos (for me nothing). For those who complain about bodies and lenses over the kg, it is an intelligent object. In the final sharpness, colors and contrasts are not the best... but for their memories do not serve. Bought used at 215 euros, it competes well with the GoPro 6 (which costs about twice as much). Voice commands work well and are practical. Fantastic time laps videos already mounted and usable. I used the Quik app on ipad. It really allows, in a short time, to have unique files to share. I do not exclude also very refined uses and a use of the potential of the GoPro 5 black. Perhaps more than buying the GoPro 6 it is advisable to think of an electronic gimbal.

samyang_20_f1-8Samyang 20mm f/1.8 ED AS UMC

Pros: Stability at all openings, sharpness, price, weight

Cons: Minimum excursion over 1 metre for manual focus

Opinion: The 20mm f 1.8 is a great lens. Excellent construction, constancy at all openings and usability in hyperfocal. I think are just two different uses: 1) to f 1.8 or large openings is a difficult but creative lens, the angle of the 20mm with minimal distortion, helps in artistic compositions. Huge blurred very homogenoe great three-dimensionality. However, it is difficult to focus which, by force of things, is slow; 2) with larger closures the 20mm behaves well and, in hyperfocal, is very fast, easier to use. Under the artistic profile, my eye reads better than the wide angles and this samyang comes after being a supporter of the Sigma 24mm. Here the angle is predominant and surely the possibilities it offers are remarkable. As in all Samyang, the focus ring, with a perfect consistency, equal to that of the diaphragm, has a scale according to me not real and the distance between 1 metre and infinity is entrusted to about 1 cm of rotation, becoming in this complex way to Infan or based on distance. This for me is the only flaw of a magic lens and character. With warm and fuzzy colors very creamy, without losing a good dowry of sharpness, constant from TA to maximum closure. I recommend the purchase to those looking for a quality lens and, of course, a bit complex because of the manual, at a low price. Used to date between 250 and 300 euros, but if there are few, indication that the owners do not exchange. I also recommend it to those who photograph landscapes, in these cases it is obviously much easier to manage. Tested on both Canon 6d and M5 (although I do not think I would ever use it with the 22mm) I found it funny, with the need to take a little hand on distances. The Testero in street and portraiture (obviously set), my styles.

canon_eos_m5Canon EOS M5

Pros: Mirrorless, Reflective Body Complement, 2nd Best Body, EF Optical Use, Precise and Fast Autofocus, Touch Screen, Electronic Viewfinder, Quality Files, Articulated Screen.

Cons: No remote snapshot via USB. Battery life. Battery other than FF and therefore need a double charger

Opinion: According to me it has 2 functions: rn1) ML portable with 22mm - street exits or events with friends.rn2) According to the body of a FF which, with EF lens adapter, multiplies by 1.6, extensively extending the kit. RnrnM5 has several advantages, especially as second body. Rn- Continuous AF in video stabilizers and stabilizing AF-level body, higher than 6D. Safer and faster. With an FF body in the kit and two lenses (35 and an 85mm EF) on M5 actually become a 55 and a 135mm equivalent. This only with 450 gr. Rn- connectivity nfc, bluetooth, wifi. RnrnIt does not have remote snapshot with usb. Function usable in wifi with tablet or smartphone. RnEsthetically it's great. Dimensions not as compact as the 2nd body due to the EF adapter, can become compact with the optimal 22mm. rnrnVeloce. Intelligent. I really liked it. Rationalize the kit. RnNot a first Canon body I might prefer Olympus, maybe OM-1 mk2.

samyang_14Samyang 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC Aspherical

Pros: Crisp, bright, cheap. For a few Euros a professional-quality lens

Cons: Shortly protected, I'm afraid to scratch the lentona.

Opinion: Just trying it you understand why it is one of the most successful goals. It's cheap, so it is affordable for everyone .... It has an excellent build quality. The images are crisp and after a while you learn about everything: distortion, brightness and focus adjustments. I also believe that it is a lens on which to learn the manual. In fact, it's easy, I recommend using it in Av and study iperfocale. Comes in handy! A nice f2.8. It makes you curious to use the other objectives of the house.

sigma_50_f1-4Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM

Pros: Quality / price, magical images and trimensionali. Brightness and sharpness.

Cons: Focus a little uncertain but perhaps because I have read so much, I reserve

Opinion: Beautiful. As usual I was a little time to ponder the purchase and I saw that in many parts of the forum and other sites are so many comparisons with the canon. I myself come from a Canon 50mm 1.8 II. I thought a picture with obvious differences, but I did not expect much. And 'certainly a beautiful lens with a fantastic price-quality ratio (bought used 260 euros). I was concerned by known mesa focus problems but in my 50mm I do not seem very evident and it works well. A merit to the "body" of a 6D becomes "important." This is a feature that I like. Certainly better balanced 50mm Canon II. In conclusion, it is thinking about a change with Canon 1.8 proceed ..... !!!! Really nice!

tokina_af17-35fxTokina AF 17-35mm f/4 AT-X Pro FX

Pros: Build quality, clarity, precision

Cons: small hood

Opinion: Purchased in alternative to Samyang 14 f2.8 and used on a Canon 6d for a week. It has not been removed. I find it beautiful. Some of the most "painterly" the objectives that I have used so far. Fantastic on FF angle apertura.rnUna remarkable sharpness. The build quality makes it a precious object. I highly recommend it especially to those accustomed to 50 mm ff and want to discover another world.
