canon_15_fisheyeCanon EF 15mm f/2.8 Fisheye

Pros: sharpness, construction, weights-clutter, price

Cons: the cap comes off easily, a little coma at the edges at TA

Opinion: Despite being 30 years old, it is still a perfect lens today even on 30mpx sensors. The sharpness is amazing even at TA, especially in the center, at the edges decays a bit but nothing dramatic. For comparisons, it is considerably better than a samyang 14, a lens that is often so decanted. The construction is valid, a little old style, but adequate, surprising dimensions and weights, it's like not having it fitted. The only defects of a lens that remains perfect are the cap that takes off easily and a little coma at the extreme edges (defect that you can only notice by making astrophoto).

sigma_100-400os_cSigma 100-400mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM C

Pros: Yield, weights, dimensions, lock zoom for transport, price-quality ratio

Cons: Af a little slow, construction a little plasticose

Opinion: A lens with a truly surprising yield from the very beginning, very uniform at all focal and in the surface of the frame, both on APS and on full frame (even on 30mpx 5d4), all weighing and clutching the right. Very high value for the focal lengths it covers. Its flaws are an AF not too good (as suitable for many situations), especially on old machines (I used it on a 7D and was slow, but precise enough) and perhaps a construction a little ' plasticose, but very well taken care of, even if the fact of not Being able to zoom with the hood mounted on the reverse is a menata. I find the perfect lens for the trip and the landscape, I do not feel the lack of the much coveted tripod ring, in this type of lens (dark and with little AF performance) take it off it was just that a pro, other weight and less clutter.

sigma_10_fisheyeSigma 10mm f/2.8 EX DC HSM Diagonal Fisheye

Pros: Sharpness, construction, AF

Cons: Cost, rarity

Opinion: The Fisheye at its highest levels, truly striking as sharpness, at full aperture is already truly remarkable, much sharper to 2.8 than a Samyang 8 to its maximum performance. Being 2.8 is great for making stars having a few optical aberrations. The construction is excellent and the AF lightning fast, you can't really want anything better. The only drawback is the cost and availability, even if 3 \ \ 400 Euros is worth them all. Held about a year I have to give it up for passage to Full Frame.

yongnuo_yn600_ex-rtYongnuo YN600EX-RT

Pros: Works

Cons: Rough running, so-so construction.

Opinion: I got used to the sturdiness and reliability of YN560 III and IV, but it turned out to be a half-bin. The flash itself works, in the sense that it snaps, it has an AF illuminator and the TTL calculates by itself the power and the parabola, the problem is that it does everything in a very rough way as classic for the Chinese devices by the bombastic specifications: the TTL always needs to Some power retouching (or corrections in post), the Af illuminator is not always quick and accurate and the construction is plasticosa (even compared to the YN560), especially the hot shoe attack not by great confidence and after a while I broke the diffuser for the 20mm (with the risk that The zoom of the parabola remains planted at the focal length). I took it used almost new to 70 euros I think, I used it sometimes for work purposes and luckily I rarely use it for those, I should go back I probably would not buy it, Sconsigliatissimo take it again, at the prices at which it is a theft.

benro_bh2Benro BH2

Pros: Good maneuverability and stability, compact and lightweight

Cons: Uneven plate, lack of systems to fix it to the tripod column if it had the appropriate screws.

Opinion: I come from three-way heads which in any case still prefer to those balls for precision, I use this bh2 when I have to travel lightly to do some trekking or do not need the precision of the three way. In general, it is a very lightweight and compact head despite the size that allows to lighten the tripod if used as in my case of the heavy three-way or because it does not have rack heads while it is very modular and stable (use Even with 70 200 2.8 + 7d) as well as robust and well-built. The only limit is the uncommon plate as a well-owned owner (for the second plate for the 70-200 I opted for the self-construction) and the lack of a gear system to secure it firmly to the tripod column if as in my case were present The fixing screws (giottos tripod).

sigma_70-200hsmSigma APO 70-200mm f/2.8 EX DG HSM

Pros: Construction, sharpness, starry at night, value for money, absent chromatic aberrations.

Cons: Use multiplied to the limit, loss of typical coating of sigma, af valid, but not very fast.

Opinion: is an excellent 70-200 cheap, my copy I took it semi destroyed to 240 euros, but still optically very efficient. The sharpness is good although of course at 2.8 does not break the hair (as it is honest), but closing is really defending very well and the diaphragm with 9 blades you see everything in the night and in the blurred, now is the best starry I've ever found in a lens. The construction is great, by tank, if the copy I had found I still went is a virtually immortal lens. It Has several limits in the multiplied use, considering its 2x up to 300mm is more or less acceptable closing, besides it becomes aberrant even closing a lot, to do something remotely acceptable you have to close to F11-F13. The AF is already ultrasonic, but it is not in step with the times, for more with time the clutches of the full time MF are kneading and can be dragged behind the outer ring together with the elements of the lens. It Can be a very valid alternative to a 70-300 paying no more than 300-350 euros for a specimen kept well, besides so much worth taking the OS version

manfrotto_3n1_grande_pl_3n1_35Manfrotto Zaino e Monospalla 3N1 grande (MB PL-3N1-35)

Pros: very versatile, excellent modularity of the shoulder straps, one shoulder use, ability to change lenses without remove it off, well-built as materials, double inner compartment possibly unifiable for telephoto transportation, value for money, many well-placed pockets.

Cons: unwieldy and comfortable at full load, very little tripod if not optimized for minimum easels, weak internal dividers, just straight-backed, limitations due to the price range in challenging hikes.

Opinion: First rucksack for me I was coming from the bags, chosen for the quality discrete value even compared to the benefits in terms of space and the ability to change lenses without remove it off (which critical thought), I review it after about six months that I and I used it enough in all conditions from the trip into the city center to the explorations in the woods between rovi.rnHa many well-distributed pockets, the photo compartment is comfortable and spacious (usually only in compartment picture I want 7d + 8-16 mounted Samyang + 8 + 70-200 + 16-50 and I advances to 2-3 flash place, as well as around the top compartment), even if the dividers are a bit 'weak and in the long run tend not to maintain the position that the very it gives, comfortable double compartment ideal for day trips and excursions to having to share food and liquid from the photographic material, in addition to large laptop compartment useful for when you are traveling and you want to concentrate all things electronic in one borsa.rnOvviamente is a backpack from 150 euro and its shortcomings has, soprattutt themor full load becomes not very convenient (but manageable) and the tripod stand is very poorly optimized and very unbalanced backpack because the tripod is poorly constrained (plus a third point of the top bond), obviously for 150 euro you can not expect everything but for example in the new model the tripod transportation system was already, fortunately, cambiato.rnAltro love hate element are the shoulder straps that if on the one hand are extremely adaptable are sometimes a bit cumbersome to manage, especially when fully loaded and with the tripod, also make sure they snap to the end so that they are sealed properly and lacks the central garter stitch to close them around the belly that I think will add personalmente.rnIn conclusion for the versatility and the price at which it is sold is a great backpack and companion in adventure as well as virtually unique in the market at that price, definitely has limits due to the cost does not mostuoso, if you can afford more budget to double there are good mindshift (i moose petersen) that they are obviously better, but they cost twice as much.

yongnuo_yn560_ivYongnuo YN-560 IV

Pros: Value, construction, power, integrated system and very efficient with the Commander and triggers of the same brand.

Cons: only three controllable groups in commander mode.

Opinion: I own one of these flash along with 3 other yn560III and their equal I think it really nice for the price proposed, these flash in a particular way for creative effects lightpainting outside even in disastrous weather conditions (several times driven to the well and better in the ground, in the rain or with temperatures around zero) and have never betrayed me in almost a year of use, the power is great and the integrated radio control system works wonders ecosystem yongnuo with triggers and remote commander. rnSono of the faithful companions of adventure and work, probably among the best on the market compatible flash, smontandone one I also had the opportunity to verify the excellent and simple construction that makes them inherently reliable, combined with good battery low self-discharge are the manual flash definitivi.rnUnico defect if you want to find that the commander mode commands up to three flash groups against six of the turret, if you want a controller for flash is appropriate to take the series III and with the money saved, there comes the controllercommanderyn always and probably will also advance the money, recommended instead if maybe you have to work with a flash always turret and others scattered in the set as can occur for portrait sessions or cerimonie.rnCome obviously said is a manual flash, not you You can expect to have functions such as TTL, the HSS or AF illuminator, but this is clearly stated in specifiche.rn

samyang_8fisheye_f3-5iiSamyang 8mm f/3.5 UMC Fish-eye CS II

Pros: value for money, manual lens (which is both valuable and defect), usable without a hood even on FF.

Cons: detachable demented hood, unusable to f3.5, generally unclear, poor management of lights (starry resulting in poor), canon total loss of automation and reading exposure, construction not exactly at the top.

Opinion: Let's start by saying that is the cheapest fisheye on the market and that is worth all the money it costs, especially finding it used, even if it is impossible to use it at TA, closed the diaphragm becomes acceptable and it is a pleasure to use it, especially indoors, where on canon not reaching 180 ° (167 °) does not distort even too much.rnThe review could end here because for what it costs to rush to buy it, but unfortunately being an economic lens also has some compromises that may bother, but that at the end for what it costs as maybe the first Fish if you can rub: rn-The diaphragm 3.5 is only decorative, the lens at full aperture is very bad and I would say unusable because not only is not clear, but generates halos around edges that are aberrant.rn-Even when the aperture is closed when the quality improves (from f5.6 onwards) the management of direct lights (in terms of stellar or point-like yield) is bad, it gives a starry really ugly to see is. rn-Su canon you lose all the automation and especially the exposure meter because the machine does not know what diaphragm is working, so the use point and shot in street photo is partially compromised.rn-The detachable Paraluce is demented, agree that allows use also on FF, but makes it very fragile being the convex lens directly exposed and just a minimal inattention that the lens splinter compromising its use in critical conditions with direct incident light, but making it still perfectly efficient in many uses (unfortunately my copy has done this end in the hands of a friend ...) rn-the construction of discrete first use with normal use after a while 'shows the economy of the lens, mine took on the barrel-level games, nothing that makes it unusable, but that surely with the years it is destined to worsen.rnrnFinally the ring of the MAF is useless since so much goes in hyperfocal already after 30cm, it would have been more sensible to make it in focus fi yes on infinity, but f2.8 and more; simple optically in such a way as to make it better for TA.

tokina_16-50Tokina AT-X Pro 16-50mm f/2.8 DX

Pros: Focal excursion, optical yield, construction and used price

Cons: rare, not monstrous autofucus, barrel extension, coma to 2.8.

Opinion: I took this lens as an upgrade for my broken 15-85 and I use it on canon 7d. Sturdy lens with surprising performance, high build quality and remarkable sharpness even at 2.8 at all focal lengths. rnAutofocus not ultrasonic and quite noisy, sometimes not very bright, especially if you take pictures during ceremonies or silent celebrations, with the typical disengagement mechanism of tokina, of speed globally suitable for any use for focal lengths to which it operates even if it does not do miracles .rnProbably it is the best lens of its focal range for aps-c, perhaps only under the big brother pentax from which it is strictly derived. Its main flaw is the low diffusion that makes the search for a used really difficult and a little 'too much coma to 2.8.

patona_lp_e6Patona LP-E6

Pros: Price ratio if you use very little equipment.

Cons: Lower capacity than the original, decaying strongly pronounced time (several times greater than originals), no charging performance info, totally unsuitable for intense use.

Opinion: I possess it since the summer of 2014, after a generally positive first time, impressions of use have become more and more negative: the battery is only valid if the equipment is really poorly used, with normal or worse uses being hacked money because the decay Of these batteries is exponentially higher than that of the originals with the result that my original that is more than three years older despite the maximum wear features still a lot, but much better than this patona (I speak in proportional terms, of course taking into account the lower capacity) , If you use the equipment or keep it so much you are purely cash thrown because compatibility is good, but the original battery that costs 4 times this is all the more money in terms of shots and time, not at Case first months of 2017 3rd and 4th battery I took them genuine used sure that they would surely be better (and so was). Rn But m Little agar is usedThe equipment for a few thousand photos a year and often changes body with different batteries can almost make sense.

sigma_8-16Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM

Pros: FIELD OF VIEW, made, construction, clarity, creativity and discreet versatilità.rn

Cons: Dark, no filters, flare at the slightest speck of dirt on the front lens, curvature of field, no use stacking astofoto, new price, zany cap.

Opinion: I spent six months searching for a wide-angle zoom, and after having studied them all I chose the 8-16 for its creativity. bought used in a Turin shop from the early hours has left me speechless, as I was already well accustomed with 15 mm of my 15-85.rnLo use routinely on my 7D for night landscapes and unfortunately excessive distortion makes almost impossible to use for pictures in a stacking (at least my copy because of a fairly pronounced curvature of field); whichever is incredibly creative, opens a new world of photos with his 8mm for instance allow vertical machine used to see each other's feet and at the same time where you stà andando.rnla construction is very sturdy and gives a great idea of ??solidity , since I took you in fact become my lens holder. rnAvendolo there are two possibilities to exploit the distortion for creative and almost fun effects or use it with great criterion to limit it and compose shots almost like paintings, especially the prosperous perspective26egrave; also happened to lose it and change much is the crazy amount of EUR 50 and passes ... rnih conclusion I would like to break a lance with regard to its practicality, in the research phase in fact I was very skeptical about it, but right now with the ' use I quickly changed my mind.

canon_7dCanon 7D

Pros: ergonomics, durability, convenience, completeness, scope, burst, autofocus (with joystick), the viewfinder ... pretty much everything

Cons: nonexistent dynamic range, difficult or impossible to recover shadows, difficulties in processing the files, weight (but is often also a virtue)

Opinion: I possess more than three years, nearly 25,000 shots together (mostly landscapes) and very little to recriminarle. snow, sand, salt and fresh water, brought in every situation and temperature from one extreme to use a purely tourist use has really always been a unique machine. Rugged, ergonomic and practical, rapid selection of the focus points with the joystick; the thinking body allows handheld shooting up to 120 times in the second, also with hand does not stop, the ISO 1600-2000 can also be used in jpg make this even more possible, but are also useful in other situations when shooting in 30 seconds, but having much treat post. The barrage is spectacular for sport or creative photos. being a professional body must be able to use and appreciate the gifts on Raw is a must, used in jpg truly expresses a small part of its potential, the classic car to buy, put in manual and not shoot more otherwise. I personally have made the direct jump bridge - 7D without having to una entry level to avoid to return the body after a while, I had no trouble making the jump starting immediately with the idea to use it immediately in manual and with the passage of time, I appreciate more and more get to know both its limitations and his great potenzialità.rnUnico large mole compared to more modern bodies is the severe shortage of adequate dynamic range, making it very difficult or impossible to recover shadows and imposing very often use for HDR shots with uneven lighting across the scene.

canon_efs_15-85Canon EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM

Pros: optical quality, range of focal lengths, sharpness, ease of use, 15 mm on a whole do quality

Cons: construction and robustness miglirabili, 15 mm distorts, but to acceptable levels if when you consider the range of focal lengths can be used

Opinion: dovendolo quickly define a lens is very convinient to take pictures without much hesitation and with the results decidedly rewarding, especially if you do not have the ability (or desire) to change often deliberately obiettivo.rnpreso in a kit with the 7D (despite an obvious premium compared to other lenses), for two years has been my main lens with only 50 fixed. just buying a tele I discovered how objectively as comfortable focal range, allowing you to work without other objectives without special waivers. rni 15mm scale basis put him a step ahead of all the objectives do everything for aps-c and above with a minimum post-production shots to 15 are very valid. RNLA optical performance is good, not by particular problems and is the perfect compromise between focal length and quality. rnunica sore point is the construction that is unfortunately typical of the "colleagues" efs, great use of plastic (even if it gets worse) and overall poor durability when subjected to heavy duty applications (in terms ofmechanical, not optical). specifically my copy zooms when tilted and the front lens that rotates partially.

canon_70-210f4Canon EF 70-210mm f/4

Pros: exceptional value ratio, pomp zoom, optical quality, F4 fixed, lightweight and practical

Cons: slow and noisy autofocus, sometimes unclear, physiological drop sharpness at the major focal points.

Opinion: having to describe it quickly I would say: cost of the plasticine lens and "starter", almost professional quality; so it's a good idea to start using and appreciating without obligation the tele.rncomprato almost for joke and for 120 euro game used as the first canvass, I use it on a 7D with really phenomenal results for the non-existent digit I took. for the price range it has a quality unattainable by the lenses even modern and above all it is f4 fixed on the whole focal point, which is only in lenses 6 times more expensive, besides having incorporated the scale of distances that for that digit is not found . pump zoom makes it practical and quick to use. the autofocus is a bit sluggish and sometimes inaccurate, but does not affect its use in portraits or landscape, although it is still its main beacon heel with the loss of sharpness at the major focal points. If you buy, do not buy one without hood, it costs € 25 separately and is rare.
