The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Tamron 28-200mm f/2.8-5.6 Di III RXD Pros: Focal excursion, weight/size, cost, optical yield. Cons: A greater AF responsiveness would have made it perfect. Opinion: It's true, this lens enhances the E system. I happened by chance on these reviews and thanks to an offer on Amazon with installment plan I said: let's try it! I've had it in my hand for two days, I don't believe my eyes. Mounted on an A7III the coupling makes just over 1.2 Kg, does not weigh in the bag, does not weigh around the neck, is not problematic to install on small tripods. The consistency of the lens does not seem cheap to me at all, the excursion is soft without hesitation. After a month of use, while confirming the limits (very acceptable) described in the other reviews, a greater responsiveness on the AF would have made this lens a true masterpiece, usable in the round. It remains without any doubt a very valid travel companion in excellent company with the Ultron 21mm and the Nokton 40 1.2. In the outputs from very long focal length with Nikon D500 + 200/500 goes instead to cover what is missing to take shots on the fly being able to count on a camera always ready to use. Very good! sent on June 29, 2022 |
 | Rollei Compact Traveler No. 1 Carbon Pros: lightweight, compact, well-built, supplied accessories. Cons: considered the use for which it was conceived, none. Opinion: It is the best easel ever built because the easel that is there, it has always been the best of all. The question could be closed in these terms, the difference between having it and not having it when needed, encompasses the sense of a product built to be carried constantly following. I abandoned a pixi manfrotto, even more compact but not quite "cavalletto" and I must say that this Rollei fully satisfies me. I load everything I have up to the 70/200 from 1.5 kg and with the precautions of the case, does what it has to without any problem. Particularly appreciable is the equipment of accessories, bag, modular shoulder strap that can be used in various configurations and a wonderful belt liner that allows you to bring it to the waist ready to be extracted quickly, contributing even more to distribute the overall weight of the equipment. The minimum height is a little sacrificed by the length of the center element but it is forgiven, just carry a clamp in your bag and the camera can be screwed to one of the legs until it touches the ground. For ML kits it will be even more enjoyable, even the head performs very well, the important thing is to have the stabilized collar for the long focals and that the camera is also equipped with Swiss L bracket to optimize the vertical position.

 | Voigtlander 40mm f/1.2 Nokton Pros: Overall yield, compactness, construction and materials, vintage charm on a modern-performance lens. Cons: Bokeh edits on the light points already from f/1.4, ta remains sharp but in cases where you need to extend the pdc and do not like polygon light points could be a problem. Opinion: My copy is Attack M (Leica) chosen on purpose to be used on Techart Pro in Autofocus mode. In this regard I point out that the thread for filters is 52mm and not 58mm as indicated in the card (I do not know if there are differences in diameter between the E-mount and Leica versions). Taken used at just over half of its price I can only confirm what has already been said in previous reviews that to be honest have helped me a lot in the choice of this lens. Having a super bright in your hands is always a satisfying experience, it's the kind of glass that whispers constantly in your ear: what you won't be able to get from me, it's just your fault. In fact, and as mentioned, the first thing you notice when you play with this lens is that it opens 2 worlds. The world of fantasy under F/2.0 while over is already exploitable from 5.6 for details and landscape. It is a 40mm that moves one step back and one forward covers the need of normal and that of the mild wide angle. I've never used this focal in my life, it's perfect. At full opening it has a very nice bokeh, quite similar to the other 1.2 that I own (Revuenon 55mm 1.2 not of Tomioka derivation) is pleasant, unfortunately with side light points that often tend slightly to become almond but much less than the Revue mentioned. Closing already at 1.4 the light points begin to produce angularity on the globes, this aspect is what I appreciated the least but it must be said that the lost roundness, depending on the distance from the light points, returns closing on the next diaphragms, in the first tests already done at F4 and 5.6. This aspect for some, I imagine of some importance, is easily manageable with the mirrorless being able to immediately see in the viewfinder how the bokeh is going to compose according to the diaphragm set. On the other, from F/8 produces starry on fairy lights. It is a lens that I consider very solving, at full openness from what you read around, beats the 35mm. On the 24 mpix of the A7III probably does not express itself at all, I notice some noticeable differences with the results obtained by those who mount this glass on the R veronions of Sony but let's talk about trifles. With regard to the barrel and construction in general, you would spend minutes and minutes using it improperly. Great piece! sent on September 24, 2019 |
 | Sony A7 III Pros: Mature, Autofocus, ISO Hold, Automatic Color Temperature Management Better Than All Cameras So Far Owned, Gust and Overflowing Buffers, Customizable Commands and Wheels in More Than Enough, Clutter, Silent Shot , Full compatibility with Techart pro, Universal machine that does not set limits of use for any lens - the Goddess of adaptability tested very positively also with Commlite ENF E1 Pro on Nikon AFS targets. Cons: Cover usb contact really ridiculous, Ergonomics to the limit, Touch limited. Opinion: I will not say that I come from Nikon because I have no intention of leaving the reflex world of which I have a decent kit well assorted and of quality, I still think valid the mirror for its speed of shooting in some conditions, I do not see any particular need For now to revolutionize the approach on long focals however damn, this camera lacks only the word. I'm not a video maker so on the video side I can't express myself and I understand very little while for photography I feel I can say that I find myself in my hands a complete and mature tool, I even struggle to understand how it can be improved further a camera like that. Probably the electronic viewfinder is something to raise the bar on but personally I find it sufficient and functional. Where I was particularly astounded and it is also the main reason why I decided to take it, is the use in combination with the Techart Pro that made me put back in the bag very good vintage glass between whose features stand out the compactness that enhances its compactness Mirrorless philosophy. I already see myself as a client of Voigtlinder and thanks to the focus aids and Techart himself I promise this little one not to give him any glass beyond the 1.8 brightness. If she really deserves it, I finally deserve it I do not take precious seconds to the mind committed to composing, as it really must be when in your hand you have a MACCHINA that shows you the preview of your visions and does the MACCHINA in the best possible way that is , taking care of all that is not photography. The Autofocus sector is disarming, the Eye AF is basically not in a chatter box, it puts you in a position to think only about how to frame it by recovering valuable attention in favor of other details or details. It is so obvious that the face of the subject is always in focus that you can allow yourself to compose the background, shape the bokeh. At Sony, however, they thought that a machine so well made had to have something to bring it back to earth, it needed something that would make you snort often, say every time you charge it or connect it to the PC and then came the USB port TAPPO. With an Arca Swiss bracket mounted on the base it becomes almost impossible to insert the cable. Image quality equivalent to Nikon standards with a certain impression that in dynamic range it allows something more species on the recovery of highlights. These impressions of use in the first month of use, in case I will update the review. sent on July 14, 2019 |
 | Sony A6000 Pros: light, compact, short draw, viewfinder (in the sense that it is there), rendered ISO in relation to the format. Cons: file quality, color, white balance, shortage of original wide-angle optics, operating speed, lag viewfinder, and just enough resolution. Opinion: I review this camera after two years of use, taken to leave the reflex home of fact this never happened, the first kit is FF Reflex. In the Apsc field I come from a Nikon D7100 held for the same time period, I can draw a comparison between the two based on the experience of use, I have a decent raw archive obtained with the two Apsc and I realize that the ML does not it holds the comparison, at least for those that are my tastes. I find the Sony file in a little detailed and with colors out of focus. In daylight, Sony is appreciated by returning pretty good files so much to make a difference, but when it falls in the evening, especially at 100 ISO, long, nothing to do, it should be put back on the bag. The ISO seal is pretty amazing for the size of this ML, from this point of view the D7100 can only look (I was never out of 2000 and I did not like it), Sony allows me to leverage the 3200 fairly easily, provided that it does not wrong exposure because in recoveries it returns to lose in comparison with the reflex. The white balance istotally unreliable, the post is always necessary if anything else to recover this problem (relative to me that I always jump in raw). Overall slowness and frequent sight lags are the price to pay for the product class (although I did not pay for it at a little while), as well as the viewfinder resolution just enough to remember to have a camera in your hands . rn In some areas it is unbeatable, put on a micrometric slide because of its compactness / lightness, it makes it easy to make stackable even with slides not too precise. However, I had problems using it with extension tubes, in fact the viewfinder was dark to the point of not allowing to locate the focus point. The indisputable strength lies in the short draw, everything can be mounted, and experiments, even with non-photographic lenses, are easy to use thanks to focusing systems (peacking, though not too precise). rnEasy to use with some adapters equipped with elicoide for macro focus, useful not only in the real macro but also to minimize the minimum distance of MAF, stuff that on a reflex it is also impossible to even think. One of the reasons that does not allow me to use it properly is the shortage of original high quality widescreen lenses, and appropriate to the car (12/24 seems to me to be disagreeable). rnSee in short the lack of a 10mm fixed or something alternative to 10/18 F4, to be understood, an equal choice of the reflex world. rnChi says that Sony should do washing machines is actually wrong, should make Apsc lenses because it is a useful format to stay compact and the Samyang alternatives just fit into a stingray machine like this where a quick MAF could be needed on short distance. With a 16/50 series of lenses, no infamy nor praise, as long as you do not pretend too much. By lending the enthusiasts coming from the Nikon reflex world I can only admit I do not understand them at all, so I definitely think the personal taste factor brings me toto allow buyers to make more than one turn with this ML before deciding to buy it. sent on October 14, 2017 |
 | Zenit MC Zenitar 16mm f/2.8 Fisheye Pros: Solid construction, compact, excellent resistance to flare, free hot spot in IR photography, bright, price. Cons: A little soft wide open, cap front improved. Opinion: After a few months of use I can also express some feelings of use for this lens. Purchased new (production is not a vintage) with native Nikon attack, the first thing you notice is its solid all-metal barrel. Compact and relatively light, finds a permanent place in the bag, the situations in which it is useful not few. Saturated colors as you would expect from a fisheye excellent resistance to flare, even with direct sunlight, the lack of AF does not feel at all. On some cameras you can only use it in the manual, for example, in aperture priority on D80 gives me error FF, on the D610 instead be used in each mode. A wide open is not always usable if you search for extreme sharpness, I have not yet tested in night photography. For fans of infrared, in cases of use of modified reflex, my copy is free of hot spots on each diaphragm. You can not use external filters also if you can; always adapt something where it was for, it is also possible to remove the metal hood. The cover of FF of this lens does not believe arrivals to 180 degrees declared on the form, I also have a Samyang 14mm and comparing it with the latter, I seem to see eye to an angle of 120 degrees, little wider than Samyang. The distortions are typical of fish eye. The very low cost makes it very attractive, are very happy with the purchase. Worth much more than what it costs. sent on July 09, 2015 |
 | Vivitar 24mm f/2.8 Macro Pros: minimum MAF distance, price, transportability. Cons: blurry, vignette on FF. Opinion: I arrived at this lens because I was looking for a lens to make macro sets. I use it with satisfaction both on APSC and on FF even if, on the bigger format, it shows a strong vignetting that almost always requires interventions in PP. Paid only 50 euros is a very compact lens that always carries the bag without sacrifice. On many occasions it has proved to be decisive for obtaining a certain type of framing. It does not lend itself to the landscape where the surrender in the details is not its forte. Very low distortion that looks better than the Nikkor 35mm 1.8 DX I have. Bokeh very soft and pleasant, the color rendering, like almost all vintage lenses goes a little helped in pp. Ultimately, a very special lens that deserved a permanent place in my trousseau. sent on November 23, 2014 |
