pentax_18-55wrPentax SMC DA 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 AL WR

Pros: Construction, tropicalization, metal bayonet, value for money, focal range

Cons: ...

Opinion: Bought for my daughter at the first photographic experiences, but before putting it in her hand I tested it and evaluated it personally, although not in a maniacal way. The construction quality of this zoom suitable for general use immediately comes to the fore. as soon as you take it in your hand you immediately perceive a certain robustness and general ness of the lens that, has no games or weaknesses in general. The metal bayonet also gives the idea of greater stability to the plug on the camera and longer life. Seals do their duty by protecting it from moisture, even high, dust and various infiltrations once mounted on the machine. Construction and finishes make it really pleasant both to the eye and to the touch.... almost wanted to keep it to me. The zoom ring is well sized, has no strange games and offers pleasant resistance. Maybe a little tight and light in adjusting the focus ring but, considering the wide use of autofocus, it's also fine. The optical yield is very valid at all focal lengths, obviously also considering the price, with a decent resistance to flare. In the class of this type of optics is fine.... if you are looking for fast and ultra-defined optics, you need to go to other types of optics. Overall I consider it as an excellent first lens that, coupled with equally tropicalized machine bodies, will allow you to photograph in any climatic situation... for sure the photographer will be the first to give in to the weather and not the body machine and lens system.

huawei_p10Huawei P10

Pros: Aesthetics, photographic compartment with dual cameras, speed, reliability, reception, construction, weight, battery life

Cons: At the moment I do not know

Opinion: I was skeptical at the release of this new brand, on the quality of these products. For the low purchase cost compared to the average of the "analogs" have bought several Huawei phones in many of my acquaintances and I have had the opportunity to evaluate their reliability closely.rnFollowed by 2 generations of IPhone, 3s and 4 ... Both were exported until the end of their operations, following the updates of the SO and of the various Apps which, over time, began to be very slow or even no longer usable or upgradeable. The 4th, died a month ago because of the exhausted battery and the various functions and Apps no longer usable served me and was my partner for work and free time for 5 years. Now is the time to replace it, given the prohibitive costs of the new IPhone models and the nonsense of grabbing a 6 or a 7, which in two years will become equally unusable, I turned the attention to Huawei and found the most worthy substitute in this model.rnParlando of the phone, I had already noticed eI also found confirmation in this model, the excellent reception and audio for telephone conversations. Also excellent Internet reception in all possible ways, WiFi, connection to the data network. Excellent Bluetooth, with which I was able to connect to the iPhone and download the entire address book ... in 2 minutes I had already all transferred. The Android system is a bit more cumbersome compared to the IOS ... but in a short time you know and get used to it. I found and reset all the Apps that I had on the old device and work perfectly .... or better .... better.rnThe photographic compartment is a crazy picture .. with dual cameras, one with a color sensor and one in black and white with Leica lenses, they do their job beautifully. The control software to take pictures allows a lot of adjustments, even manual, that make this device look like a very advanced compact. The images it produces are marvelous in contrast, color and definition, but let's remember it is a phone with lensesfrom the diameter of a few millimeters so, we do not expect the results to be like a real camera.rnThe battery is another aspect that surprised me and not a little. With a minimum of energy-saving options enabled, half-screen brightness (which suffices and progresses in every situation) and intense use of the Internet, phone calls, games and various Apps, easily comes to charging with a 20% remaining charge, in the worst case that I have at the time.rnEstetica, construction, materials and finishes are really high level ... Do not regret the top models of gamma.rnIn ultimately a device that can be reliable and fun at every level, both for work and for leisure.

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

Pros: Construction, well-balanced weight, optical yield, details, very natural colors, minimum focus distance, cost, precision and autofocus speed.

Cons: I don't know.... for the cost it has and for the seniority of the project I would say none.

Opinion: I use it on Pentax K7 or K3, this premise is dutiful to consider the focus system that is with grip. Its speed is not as low as many declare when used with some shrewdness. Of course it is not a lens devoted to sports photography, for which ultrasonic focus engines are of great help but, when used with criterion this lens is a great piece of optics. For fast focus, it is necessary not to force the lens to burst first a metre away and then to 60 meters... otherwise the sealing race slows down the focus and, you need to point the subject with the precision of a sniper, if you accidentally go into the background to focus, the problem described above presents. This aspect limits its use a bit but it is not something that I would include in the counters... once you understand how you behave you can do a little something you want. Otherwise it is a really fantastic lens, very natural as rendered on the images with contrasts never too strong nor too weak. The colors are fabulous and not ringing, with pastel colors I would say. The blurring is very, very pleasant and the detachment of the planes quite progressive. A soft hair at full opening, which for portrait does not disturb and, very defined by f4 or f5.6 onwards. Weight is a plus.... 1310 gr with tripod ring and lampshade mounted excellently balanced with the machine body. it wields and is more stable than a 24-70 f2.8, you want for the greater weight, or for larger sizes that make it more easily handleable. The dials are fluid and with the right resistance. Perhaps just a little short the stroke of the focus ring to work in manual, a rotation of a few degrees corresponds to a large shift of the focus point.... therefore, you should be very careful when disabling autofocus. Using it for macro photography, which is not my preferred field anyway, you need considerations. It is not a pure Macro, so the definition of the finer details perhaps suffers a little compared to specialized optics. However, this lens also has a point in my opinion, namely the minimum focus distance which is just over 90 cm. This feature, combined with the 200 mm focal point, allows you to have a good magnification of the subject even at distances that do not put too much alert insects such as butterflies or dragonflies, while still needing a little delicacy when approaching subject. For this kind of photography gives the best of itself with opening around f8, returning notable images for an uns specialized optics. If you work with machine bodies equipped with high-resolution sensors, such as 24 megapixels or more, you can also make rather pushed crops thus enhancing the subject or some details of the shot. Also manageable is the focus where, the biggest problem in photographing close-up objects, is the lack of stability in keeping the machine and slow or the movements of the subject in case of wind... The poor depth of field at 200 mm and close range can put a bit to the test in focus but, once you have taken your hand it becomes very fun and fulfilling. Ultimately a very reliable and successful lens, built with durable materials and with little plastic. For the price it costs, even buying it new, I think you can expect little more than what it offers.

genesis_bh40Genesis BH-40

Pros: Load capacity, size, weight, fluidity of the movements, construction and materials, finishes

Cons: Do not you?

Opinion: The first ball I use ... I had some reservations about the ease of use and its heavy load resistance ... I was wrong. RnThe use for work is a very good companion, easy to use and fast to set up. Having previously used a three-axis head, this time saving time to adjust the position is really remarkable. A normal camera with battery grip and lens mounted on it does not even hear them, and when you decide to tighten and lock the position it is, there are no slight slips or settlements. RnAfter I arrived I immediately treated it badly. ... Pentax K3 + Battery Grip + Duplicator + Pentacon 500f 5.6 ..... (at least 4.5 kg load) slaps above and points toward the Moon with an angle of not less than 40 ° .... perfectly property. In combination with the C5 tripod, vibrations and settlements are instantly absorbed even with extended legs of 3 sections on 4 and a full column. With the heavy load of the Luna outfit it will be in half secondit is a product with a high name .... but it costs a little .... it's really done and it does its job in an unexceptional way .... I'd discovered it before!

genesis_c5Genesis C5

Pros: Construction quality, weight, equipment, stability, impressive maximum extension, transportability, very fast vibration damping, fine materials, ah. the price!!!

Cons: At the moment no one

Opinion: Taken in kit with the BH40 ball head at an amazing price for this type of item €178.99 VAT included and.... Turnover!!!. At first impression it seems unseathful due to its low weight but, once weighed down and mounted the machine above becomes a column. 2,140 kg of weight with the aforementioned head mounted on it and with the central column long, a real godsather to carry it around. Before this I had an aluminum manfrotto with a three-axle head that weighed 3.4 kg and the difference is felt, especially since Genesis also offers a carrying bag, comfortable and well padded. The legs are with 4 extendable sections with screw mechanism....very comfortable and immediate. One of the three legs has a foam handle and can be unscrewed and turned into a monopid, among other things very comfortable even for video shooting... 2 products in 1. Materials and finishes are of a high standard and this product, as well as very practical and functional, is also beautiful to see. Tested with challenging optics... Pentawith 500 f5.6 old school.... all metal and glass... with duplicator, machine body and battery grip in a position close to the vertical and he did not make folds of any kind indeed.... I have noticed that, even extending it more than I have ever done with the aluminium tripod, the vibrations damp down much faster; returns stable almost instantly. The legs can be positioned at 3 different angles making it very versatile even if you need a wider, asymmetrical or macro photography base. The feet are covered in rubber and on the floor it has a discreet but not impressive grip. I purchased the 50 mm diameter suction cup feet apart to place it on smooth surfaces and flooring... the problem of low stability on this type of surface has been solved. Removing the rubber feet you discover the steel tips, useful for planting the easel in soft soils.... and remains them without blinking. Used with Star Adventurer astroinseguitor with equatorial base, declination bracket and counterweight bar (maybe 3 kg in all or even more) allows us to mount on a machine body with battery grip and a Pentacon 300 f4 (not a feather) and all this works very well, allowing precise stellar chases even beyond the recommended limit of the astroinseguitor even with 3 extended leg sections. The package contains a set of 4 brugole useful for maintenance or settings, a short column for use at the lowest height and the bag for transport with handle and shoulder strap, very comfortable and well padded. For this product the value for money is really high.

pentax_k3Pentax K-3

Pros: Tropicalization, ergonomics, sensor, workability of raw files, autofocus, weight, cost, possible customizations, battery life, build quality, great files

Cons: perhaps only a small amount of time gap from the moment of pressing the shutter button to the actual shutter release

Opinion: This car is a real gem. It's a ridiculous figure compared to the same level as other brands and works just as well. The plus are many and remarkable, starting from tropicalization of body and constructive quality. I have quite large hands I have equipped it with its original battery grip (another story than the Meike type or other brands I own for the K7), with this mount surely better and the coupling is solid and much moreover, of course, to doubling the autonomy of the charge.rnBatteries last a lifetime, you can safely face a Wedding session without completely completing one. The autofocus, much discussed by many, is actually very fast, especially with optics with motorized focus. It also hooks up the subject even with low light and is hardly mistaken for a shot .... if it does it is because it has been pointed at a contrastless area.rn a very convenient bend and controls all at your fingertips. The double adjusting ringIon and ISO button near the shutter release button allow you to work quickly in Manual Mode without fatigue or pinging turns between the menus. The file that is blowing is another planet (compared to the K7 with which I can make a real comparison) . Much more workable and rich in information. The RAW shooting mode can be switched to 2 different formats: RAW PEF (Pentax owner) and RAW DNG (digital negative) I prefer and use. The RAW DNG is workable quietly with Camera RAW senzadover download plugins or other and are immediately visible with Picasa image viewer programs. My way of photographing is very similar to anyone who was using at analogical time without using filters or other such devices that I do not know about all the available automatics except for automatic white balance, which can also be set in multizone and works very well. The sensor is one of its strengths and the files that come from it outside are well balanced in both colors and contrastalready with the default settings, which are still customizable. The 24 megapixels allow you to make large format prints. I did prints of 85X127 cm and no picture of pixel pixels can be seen. It's possible to fine-tune the lenses (if I do not remember bad at 20) so you can work very quietly with everything.rnIn addition the bayonet K, which has remained unchanged since it was introduced, except for automation systems and stabilized sensors, allowing it to work with any adaptive lens making all the lenses stabilized. The dynamic range is very large, allowing unexpected recoveries with the K7 or with models previous.rn A fantastic and reliable car, often underestimated by anyone who has never experienced it.

pentacon_300f4Pentacon 300mm f/4

Pros: Construction, materials, focus ring, preselection diaphragms, precise and reliable mechanics, fluid and precise movements; These are the constructive aspects. Optically very valid, details and engraving unsuspected for age, natural colors and well-calibrated contrast. Beautiful blurry and very progressive.

Cons: Considering the age of this lens, I would say no one.

Opinion: The first things that impress this lens are the weight and construction. Under operating conditions, attach 2.5 kg of glass and metal to the machine body, not always easy to manage. With this lens it is very advisable to use a body with stabilized sensor or a good tripod. If you can tame it, the satisfactions will come. Despite its age it is an optics that says its as a rendering of image and performance, it does not fear too much comparisons even with more modern lenses. The opening is regulated by a pre-selection diaphragm equipped with 19 slats, beautiful to see, enjoyable to use and that gives images with a beautiful blurry. The optical system provides images with many details even on dense sensors (24 mp APSc) without exaggerating with unnatural contrasts and colors. In astrophotography it shows a strong chromatic aberration when used at full aperture. Already diaphragm to f5.6 however the situation improves considerably and also benefits the yield on the details of nebular celestial bodies.... of course the required exposure times are lengthened but it is worth it. Given the generous size of the front lens (80mm of free opening), this lens is able to record even rather weak stars and a fair number of details about extended celestial bodies, obviously not in step with telescopic optics specifically designed for such use but... holds a decent bang if you don't claim absolute perfection. Of course it should be used with astroinseguitors, able to withstand its weight, or with small equatorial frames for proper stellar pursuit. The weight of this lens is considerable, therefore the use of an easel or a machine body with stabilized sensor benefits and not a little, both to avoid motion or microcosm, and to carry out the focus. The latter is almost millimeter since, the ring has an excursion of 3/4 lap. Ultimately a really good lens, not for all types of photography. Adapt more to thought-out shots or where operational speed is not required. Easy to fall in love with.

sigma_10-20_f3-5Sigma 10-20mm f/3.5 EX DC HSM

Pros: Construction, sharpness, resistance to flare, focal range, supplied accessories, fast, quiet autofocus, the focus rings and very smooth zoom, full time manual focus, saturated colors and balanced, constant brightness

Cons: I think no one

Opinion: I have owned and used for about a year and a half's younger brother, who now Sigma has taken away from produzione.rnPur being already excellent wide-angle lens, this lens has many more cards than the more sharper economica.rnSembra version (but I have not done a detailed comparison). I use it mainly for indoor photography with aperture 5.6 to 8, and in this range of openings has no problem whatsoever. At full aperture it is slightly softer but, to realize you have to enlarge the image a lot. The corners lose a sharpness hair ... what other lens does not? RnAvendo a constant maximum aperture throughout the zoom range, does not even require continuous adjustments of timing or sensitivity when using it at full aperture. For some types of photography is manna from cielo.rnLa resistance to flare is proverbial .... not even known by the sun at the corners of fotogramma.rnUtilizzato in any type of photo makes saturated colors and well balanced, it seems almost a polarizzat lensa.rnLa focus with HSM is silent, precise and quite fast, although not fulminea.rnLe the zoom and focus rings are fluid at the right point, giving you the right resistance and always scorrevoli.rnViene stocked with everything serving: petal-type hood, padded carrying bag and, of course, the two coperchi.rnCostruito impeccably for what it currently costs (paid 430 February attack with Pentax), with solid materials that make it pleasant even when handling it. Remains compact and very accettabile.rnAl current price weight, I think it is a lens not to be missed for those who love landscape photographs, interior, street and all use that it can fare.rnCerto being a wide angle rather pushed, unforgiving framing errors ..... worth distortion of converging lines especially at longer focal corte.rnPer the type of lens that you would not say it has flaws ... when you buy you should be aware of its characteristics intrinseche.rn

meyer_orestegor200Meyer Orestegor 200mm f/4

Pros: Rugged construction, focusing precision of about 350 degrees rtazione of the ring, diaphragm extremely fluid with 15 blades (bokeh promises a scream)

Cons: It is still too early

Opinion: I state that I have received this light only for an hour. Found used for around 50 euros on the bay .... as soon as I made some shots give an impression more precisa.Quella in question is the version marked Pentacon with screw M42. The optics, despite his age seems new. no sign of any aging, index of the highest quality materials. The weight denotes the goodness of the features is openly declares the total absence of plastic. All metal and vetro.La ring focus is simply fantastic. Almost 360 ° of rotation to switch from 2.5 meters to infinity. Surprising though it is modular making fuoco.La aperture ring, also fluid, ciottola slightly, maybe it's just a grain loose inside the mechanism but still works smoothly and very accurate. The blades of the diaphragm 15, who works in the preselection, iris are perfectly symmetrical and circular openings in all ...

pentax_50_f1-7Pentax SMC M 50mm f/1.7

Pros: Metal construction, sharpness crazy, saturated colors in all openings

Cons: .....

Opinion: switch to digital has certainly its advantages and with the new Pentax camera bodies mistakes is quite difficult because all the automatic available. The situation is different when you combine old and new technologies, such as the use of this lens with a body KX K7.rnSi lose some or all the automatic and in some cases as a correct little shooting with shutter speed and aperture, before getting desired result, much more than with the objectives automatic ... but if the results are what you will get with this in mind it is certainly worth doing some shooting empty. Sharpness, colors, blurs and contrasts are beautiful. For a view that the market is worth little or nothing is a real slap in the face to the more modern products, refined and noble. This is the kit lens fixed on my K7 and if the need to use will allow me not take it off even if I have to give up the automatismi.rnInsieme 135 f2.5 Super Takumar are part of my outfit ...

pentax_k7Pentax K-7

Pros: sturdy construction, tropicalization excellent opportunity to custom settings, intuitive controls, simple menu and very wide possibility of using old lenses, battery life, color rendering, the battery grip makes it much more manageable and doubles the battery capacity.

Cons: sensor noisy above 800 ISO, autofocus in low light uncertain.

Opinion: Just picked it up I'm loving it, the first click the link has become even more solid. Certainly it has some small defect, as the sensor a bit noisy above 800 ISO and a slight tendency to over-exposure, but with the necessary precautions is a machine that does not miss a shot. The adjustment possibilities allow to use it for any use and in any condition. The use often with a Falsh Metz 52 AF-1 TTL mode in the shots where light is scarce and not mistake mai.rnL'autofocus together, as mentioned in the "against" sometimes turns out to be a little undecided with low light. On the other hand, with sufficient light it is difficult to mistake. Even with moving subjects performs well if set in continuous autofocus. RNLA dynamic range is surprising and color gradients that fascinate cleaning. The increasing use in manual mode. RAW files are impeccable. The comparison with machines even more famous is embarrassing for these ultime, considering the prices of acquisto.rnSono impatient to move on to a full-frame ... but I'll wait to come out a model Pentax!

pentax_kxPentax K-x

Pros: Image quality, dynamic range, 9 cross-type AF points, ease of use (take it in hand and shots), build quality and yield in relation to the price very good.

Cons: a little uncertain autofocus with low light conditions, a tendency to over-exposure, small size for those with larger hands a little

Opinion: was the first Pentax digital SLR which I put on hand. The fact that you can also use old objectives of the evenings K (obviously not working in manual and automatic sort of) it greatly increases the flexibility of the value and desirability for those who have even dated a park objectives. Although it is a simple machine that can give gandissime satisfaction. The sensor, which in itself has become a bit surpassed in terms of resolution, it is simply great. Makes it increasingly clear images, without color casts "fabricated". RnL'ho used a little bit for everyone, landscapes, nature photography, weddings, portraits, macro, and I've never been disappointed. The lens supplied as standard does not make it any justice, some okay first goal, but coupled with highest optical quality is unmatched with any SLR sibling or even superiori.rnI JPG and RAW files are fabulous very, very validi.rnIn some cases I have found a slight tendency to overexposure, easily corrected with the compensation EV.rnL 'unico drawback I found is nell'autofocus, that light is a little bit uncertain and hinders the scatto.rnDopo have tried this machine I bought a second Pentax (a K7), of which I am very satisfied.
