![]() | Nikon Z6 II Pros: silence, lightness, compactness, autonomy (especially with the dedicated battery pack), usual excellent à la Nikon menu, high ISO seal, burst. Cons: af problems (with F-attack optics), in the presence of very bright backgrounds (but I reserve the right to try again). It needs battery packs (MB-N11), if you want more autonomy but especially if you are brandishing demanding telephoto jectives, or if you often use vertical framing. Opinion: https://brunomora.blogspot.com/2021/02/nikon-z6ii-in-capanno-su-soggetti.html I've been waiting a while but it takes time just to get a first idea... There will be no lack of further evidence and necessary insights in the near future. I can only say that I am very demanding in terms of the quality and reliability of my photographic equipment, because although I am not a professional, I do not tolerate being "planted on the most beautiful", well this mirrorless is convincing me a lot and if I think about the very wide margins for improvement of this technology, we can only expect roses and flowers in the future of Nikon. sent on February 13, 2021 |
![]() | Benro B5 Pros: Great tightening operation, without grips, no forcing, smooth and soft movements Cons: Unlower profile, two ball tightening adjustment knobs. Opinion: I am extremely satisfied, Chinese builder of respect, has always had my sympathies, works well, and although it is a level under the best builders, it certainly does not disfigure. With the previous B-3 I mounted everything from wide angle to 600 mm, without ever having problems or risks of lateral fall, even less should I have with this, larger and with much larger head diameter. you can read the full review here: https://brunomora.blogspot.com/2020/02/testa-sfera-benro-b-5.html sent on February 04, 2020 |
![]() | Nikon AF-S 28mm f/1.4 E ED Pros: It is an excellent lens from an optical standpoint. Well-built, with powder-tight seals. Fuzzy and very sweet bokeh, for a wide angle. Sharpness, a lot, at every aperture. All in all not too big to be a prime lens. Not too heavy. 77 mm Filter step. Born to be used at full aperture, in any situation, it will never disappoint you. Cons: expensive, very. Maybe it's the only true "flaw" I can find. Vignette at 1.4 (but I don't consider it a problem, I've never considered it in the lenses I've owned and I use it now). A hair of sharpness less at full aperture (!!!), at the edge of the frame (to want to find the fur in the egg). Opinion: Neither pros nor cons: It's made (also) plastic... So what???? Now, this matter of plastics I have a little stew, I often read comments of amateur photographers who complain because a similar lens, but also others, especially Nikon, is built with plastic materials. Now, my thought in short is that today with the plastic you do and you can do everything. They are not apart from this material even though feeling the metal in your hand gives me a certain feeling of reliability and robustness together. But to me (as all) it concerns that a lens returns to me sharp images, brilliant, contrastate, without too many aberrations. If it's not made of titanium, graphene or...... alloy Z...me I'm going to do a reason... Finally: This amazing lens should be compared with similar monsters, like the Zeiss Otus, or the Leica M, but without going on emblazoned coats of arms, today the Sigma Art 28mm equal brightness promises authentic wonders, and not only from the point of view of Price. Although I can not currently conduct similar tests, I am convinced that the Nikon would come out a lot, but very well, against opponents that cost at least double, apart from the Sigma that would by its even the most affordable cost, the real enemy of ours. I posted on my blog The proof of this lens, in two episodes: Https://brunomora.blogspot.com/2018/07/nikkor-28-mm-f14-afs-e-g-n-asph-prima.html https://brunomora.blogspot.com/2018/12/nikkor-28-mm-f14-afs-e-g-n-asph-seconda.html Good Reading!

![]() | Nikon AF-S 24mm f/1.4 G ED Pros: Stunning focus, definition already at full aperture. Cons: The presence on the market of the Sigma focal length, and the cost, but it is found in used at more affordable prices. Opinion: Stunning lens for blur and definition, one of the best fixed by Nikon, ever. And still today one of the few lenses able to "hold" the stunning sensor of the Nikon D850. It has unique characteristics, such as a Bokeh that is rarely found in a wide angle of this, but today the fantastic Sigma Art 24 mm penalizes it somewhat with its low cost.rnNe I wrote long ago a long article where I compared it with 28 f1 .4 Nikon Afd, who wants to can read it here: http: //brunomora.blogspot.it/2014/02/nikkor-28-mm-f14-afd-asph-e-nikkor-24.html sent on February 03, 2018 |
![]() | Nikon AF-S 500mm f/4 E FL ED VR Pros: Light, fast focus, minimum maf distance. Cons: Just the price. Opinion: I've been in possession of this telephoto lens for a few weeks having upgraded from the previous VR. The first impressions are really fantastic, from advanced VR to robustness and especially to lightness and handling, I'm writing a long and in-depth review (for what I can do with my means) that you will read soon on my blog. Note 03/01/2018: you can read the review here: http://brunomora.blogspot.it/2017/07/recensione-nikon-af-s-500-mm-f4-e-fl-ed.html thanks and good reading.

![]() | Photoseiki TB-101 Pros: irreproachable construction, absence of play, after five years of use I can not fault it. Cons: rnSe I have to find fault I find the total overall size, but it is not a problem of Photoseiki, is a fact of this kind of head, of any brand it is. The price you pay in terms of particular dimensions of the whole complex. Of course also the cost is certainly not negligible, but it is an object really well built. Opinion: I personally believe that the intended primary use of a rocker head is tracking fast moving subjects, in my case birds in flight, also on board the sports field can be definitive weapon, as well as for panning.rnrnNe I wrote a review which you can read in full here: http: //brunomora.blogspot.it/rnrn sent on November 27, 2016 |
![]() | Nikon D500 Pros: Autofocus, operating speed, buffer, high ISO seal robustness. Cons: Suspected non-compatibility with SD cards also UHS-II type Opinion: I decided to buy the D500 while having already a good right as D7100.rnrnLa D500 to the touch immediately it appears very "pro", although it is not produced in Japan but in Thailand, the impression of robustness and reliability catch our eye, on the floor physical then wins hands down against D7xxx.rnrnPersonalmente series I appreciated very much the ISO button position, just behind the shutter button, a convenient reach of the index finger, for people like me who does not make an excessive use of the Auto-Iso, you can quickly change the sensitivity without taking his eyes from the scene is a big advantage. rnMa especially the autofocus is really proves responsive, and the barrage of 10 ftg / s got me back to the times of exceptional D3s.rnMirino, absolutely light years away from the "old" dark viewfinders of dx.rnrnLa previous intensely and I am using published a use field tests in my blog.rnrnhttp: //brunomora.blogspot.it/rnrn sent on May 29, 2016 |
![]() | Nikon AF-S 500mm f/4 G ED VR Pros: Exceptional sharpness, lightweight, easy to handle. Cons: Only the price Opinion: After years of 300 mm f2.8 I came to this super telephoto, although before I owned the splendid AIS-P version with the CPU, and this choice, weighted long, several factors have intervened, such as the presence of an autofocus fast and accurate and the allocation of a second generation VR system, its lightness, the constructive lens strength which makes it able to withstand the conditions of use also gravose.rnIl 500 mm is the choice of many fotonaturalisti, also for the weight and not excessive overall dimensions, when compared to a 600 mm; its maneuverability freehand is another good card to giocare.rnrnNe I wrote a review here: rnrnhttp: //brunomora.blogspot.it/2013/07/af-s-nikkor-500-mm-f4g-ed- vr-n-appunti.html sent on May 08, 2016 |
![]() | Nikon AF-S 600mm f/4 G ED VR Pros: Excellent sharpness, speed of maf, excellent compatibility with TC14EII construction. Cons: Size and weight. Opinion: Without compromises; This is the feeling I had tried opening the suitcase, huge, which contained the super telephoto par excellence, the 600 mm focal length, f / 4, which is the dream of every fotonaturalista, and the final choice of alcuni.rnrnUn'ottica almost final with un'autofocus lightning, of which I have spoken at length here: rnrn rnrnhttp: //brunomora.blogspot.it/2014/03/nikkor-600-f4-afs-vr-gn-larma.htmlrnrne here: rnrnrnrnhttp: // brunomora.blogspot.it/2014/09/nikkor-600-f4-afs-vr-gn-lultima-meta.htmlrnrn sent on May 03, 2016 |
![]() | Nikon D3s Pros: operating speed, quickness, reliability in every trial. Cons: Size, weight, price (as new). For certain applications 12 megapixels are few. Opinion: From a flagship to be expected that there is a reliable light meter, an impressive operating speed, you can safely use up to ISO 12800 will not disappoint you, it is always ready all'accensione.rnrnL'ho already had, I used it intensively, I appreciated very much, finally I sold it. Now a little regret. rnrnE 'bulky and heavy. Like all top-class. Take her for a walk around the city with a 70/200 or even just a wide-angle zoom is still impegnativo.rnrnNon suited to those who make landscapes, still-life, macro, portraits. (In those years I also used for this type of shooting, but I had not the D800E) .rnrnAdatta for shooting sports (especially indoors), shooting at the theater, nature photography, fotogiornalismo.rnrnI his files, although not rich detail how those cameras with greater resolution, however, are "light", take up less space on the hard disks, are very easy to work with programsof post-production. And my eyes are "beautiful," I always see them in some detail, some depth, some rich colors, a distribution of tones that always leaves me pleasantly sorpreso.rnrnAlcune photos with my review can be found here: rnhttp : //brunomora.blogspot.it/2015/11/nikon-d3s-il-terzo-passo-di-nikon-nel.htmlrn sent on May 01, 2016 |
