samyang_af75_f1-8feSamyang 75mm f/1.8 AF

Pros: Sharpness, price, weight and size

Cons: Tropicalization and construction

Opinion: Honest optics with a good overall performance, it excels only in price and size, which nowadays is no small thing. Poor construction in toy plastic, no tropicalization, after a few days of use you can already see dust between the lenses. I recommend it only to those who need a very light lens to always carry with them, or for. Hi needs to optimize the budget a lot without sacrificing too much optical performance.

sigma_dn65_f2cSigma 65mm f/2 DG DN C

Pros: Style and construction, sharpness, overall rendering for portraiture.

Cons: Very delicate paint, easily controllable distortion.

Opinion: As soon as I picked it up it took me back 30 years, as a construction it looks like a Sonnar for Hasselblad and the click of the diaphragm seems to come out of a Tag Heuer. To say fantastic is an understatement. For the detractors of polycarbonate, you're in for it! Now feed yourself this all-metal tank that in two years of work will look like it fell from a plane, since just looking at it scratches the paint. Learn to love it, beautifully lived, because you will have no escape. The optical rendering is fantastic even against the light, balanced contrast and this is said by someone who is not a lover of the closed shadows of the old ART, this one has a completely different character, more delicate and harmonious. Excellent sharpness at TA, pleasant blur, progressive, with predominantly circular bokeh, excellent rendering on the complexion. AF stepper ready and accurate for portraits, don't ask for more. The total absence of AC left me speechless, maybe I'm still too traumatized by so many years of 55 zeiss. The focal length is what attracted me from the beginning, since I am a former nikonista widower of the 58G and not very comforted by the 85mm indoors. Among the availabilities for Sony I found in the Sigma 65mm the perfect balance for my type of work, if it had been f1.4 with this quality it would have been the apotheosis. Don't make the mistake of comparing it to a 50, there's no history as a portrait cut. The construction, optical quality and style are excellent despite being "only" a Contemporary and that "made in Japan" in plain sight is almost touching.

tamron_35-150_f2iiiTamron 35-150mm f/2-2.8 Di III VXD

Pros: Versatility, sharpness across the entire range.

Cons: Zoom that attracts dust grains. Chaotic flare as in all zooms but nothing compromising.

Opinion: A lens that has conceptually and rationally revolutionized my work in ceremonies, portraits, events. The ability to have such a wide, crisp and bright range is absolutely extraordinary. The weight is relatively problematic only if you are used to shooting with one hand, otherwise you will soon get used to it, on the other hand my historic and tireless afs 24-70g weighed almost a kilo. Fast AF, reliable for the portrait photographer and quiet. At 35mm f2 the overall performance is prime and at 150mm the bokeh quality remains pleasant. Flanked by a second body with 24GM they make up an amazing outfit. The overall feeling is that of having at least 5 quality fixed lenses at your fingertips. Unfortunately the tropicalization does not seem to be like in the best GMs, at least once a year it must be opened and cleaned from the dust sucked inside by the zoom. I hope Sony can take a cue from such a useful lens and can reproduce it by improving it in the few critical points.

sigma_17-50_f2-8_osSigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM

Pros: Price, weight, size, stabilization, sharpness, brightness.

Cons: Construction, absence fulltime AF.

Opinion: A lens that pleasantly surprised me. I do not understand the reviews that speak of slowness of AF, maybe it will be my D500 to work miracles but I do not notice any difference with the 24-70 vr, maybe just a little noisy but not too much, my 85 1.4 D did much worse. I'm just upset that he doesn't have full-time fire. Even with little light it guarantees assoutically professional performance, I recently threw a disco party with photographically bad light and with the AF in group I missed 5 fires out of 600 photos, so it was unexpectedly excellent. Sharpness to the center exceptional even at TA, at the edges is honest, the blurry pleasant, the AC not unmanageable. The specimen I was able to try did not experience any front/back focus issues. At this price I would have satisfied myself with features of much lower. I absolutely recommend it.

fujifilm_x100tFujifilm X100T

Pros: I take a bit of time to be able to praise and weaving defects, partly because I was not prepared for a quality like that. I understand that the X100 "S" there are around a blunder, and everyone is excited, but to say that the "T" is almost the same thing is a colossal boiata. What you would do for groped to keep the swollen hand prices of the "S" ...

Cons: Is distracting me from my work too, it was from the times of the pinhole that I did not play with pleasure with a camera without professional purposes.

Opinion: I was looking for a super lightweight compact, with all manual adjustments to make even use to my child, and given the public's enthusiasm for the x100 series I decided to give my attention for the first time to a compact. After a survey among friends and colleagues the overwhelming response was "the sensor is great, take the S savings and apart from the viewfinder are identical" or, "have released the new version too early, did not even tilt the LCD." I tried them both lunge and I took the "T", which so to point to today 12/30/14 differs from the "S" for 200 euros and for these (about # 22) features: # 1 It has the occurrence of a viewfinder with digital rangefinder that is added all'OVF, and a more responsive EVF in the refreshing. # 2 The graphics of the functions in the viewfinder is much more discreet and less distracting. # 3 The indications for the parallax compensation are now in real time, Consist of a simple rectangle and not a traffic-type lines the rails of a railway junction that clog up the entire frame. # 4 EV Corrections to - 3 + instead of a - + 2. # 5 Lcd 3pollici more than 1M instead of 2.8 on 460k. # 6 Wifi that instantly allows you to transfer photos from your smartphone and control the machine through various free applications, includes AF management, and various exposure settings. # 7 Battery Room loadable via USB, so needs no charger (even if they have still provided in the package). # 8 if necessary activated electronic shutter reaching the 32millesimo and step is invisible ALMOST (with remote control becomes a private investigator object) # 9 Record video with totally manual and AutoISO settings up to 1080 60P including 50P and 24P. # 10 The buttons are customizable 7. # 11 Steps 1/3 stop in manual exposure settings instead of 1/2. # 12 The ISO arrive at 51k instead of 26k. # 13 Ability to set between the various films alsothe classic chrome. # 14 The button AF-L AE-L can be used as AF-ON with settings manually, it is closer to the ergonomic multifunction wheel. # 15 In AF-S has a face tetect that works impeccably even recognizing faces in the frame, giving priority to the most central. # 16 Cover OVF rises to 92%. # 17 possesses an accurate interval timer. # 18 The custom settings menu Q is customizable with a "base" + 7preset. # 19 The battery life is said to be nearly doubled (unlikely), however much improved. # 20 The peaking focus can be set in many colors in contrast with the background. # 21 Metering spot AF area selected. # 22 The live view in the viewfinder has a dynamic playback range 4 times the x100s. There will surely be something that now I can not think but in essence compared to x100s changes the world, it would be more appropriate to call x200. I confess that after the first testsI consider inappropriate a jewel like that in the hands of a child, in fact, has shifted instantly in my fanny pack, naked and pure is a wonderful toy for the discerning photographer. My kid will pluck sooner or later a virtuous x100 first-hand model ;-)

nikon_afs58gNikon AF-S 58mm f/1.4 G

Pros: Lightweight, multi-purpose behavior under or over f2.8, the most beautiful bokeh ever produced by an AFS, extraordinary for environmental portrait and backlit.

Cons: fragility sensation in the complex and in the manual MAF.

Opinion: For months I was waiting for the release of the new "near-normal" Nikon. I badly needed, for my D800 / 810, an optical output from the near to that of 85 f1.4 but more usable in tight interior, and found in the AF-S 58mm 1.4G a unique tool in its modern way. rnDottor Jekyll and Mr. Hyde! rnDa f2.8 up for my portraiture has a sharpness "excessive", intermediate diaphragms are reproductions of almost the entire frame but down from TA to f2 like stepping into a time machine, has the exact same performance nikon 85 1.4D with one-tenth of chromatic aberrations and backlighting more extreme in the least breaks down as it was not a 105micro.rnHa a softness that fully embraces with a viral portrait style oldstyle, recently recommended to those looking for the sharpest detteglio at RT. rnUna lens definitely out of the chorus of the modern optics or you hate it or you ama.rnPrezzo exorbitant for the sense of fragility sending, I hope I never have to truly test in this regard. rnUn little brother of & #39; 85 1.4G, (not in the price) softer at room temperature and a bit warmer and more usable in tight interior, much less it closed in the shadows of his cousins ??nanocristallizzati and flare almost zero. rnDai my tests I am very satisfied, I hope in the future should not let me down mechanically using heavy. . . . Update of 25/09/14: I'm four months that I use this lens assiduously, after many services I can confirm his goodness in the generic portraits and interior. I do not know why at the beginning scared me its light weight, maybe it's a common heritage to associate the heaviness to the robustness and reliability but now I changed my mind. Together bokeh exceptional today mention just its lightness as a rare privilege that distinguishes it among the best performing lens. Never used before has a lens with such yield contoluce without closing too the shadows and in the detail so painterly. I also bought a belt clip where I hang a second body with 58mm always readyif necessary, excellent versatility also manageable with one hand. rnrn
