nikon_d7200Nikon D7200

Pros: Image quality. Customizing buttons. Features

Cons: Slow opening menu

Opinion: I come from nearly seven years of D300. I have long awaited an D400 that never arrived and I was very undecided about moving to FX (used D700 or D610) or stay with this DX D7200. After seeing the raw latter deciso.rnDevo I finally admit that the initial impact was traumatic, coming precisely from the D300. The body is quite small but in the end everything is at hand and the settings are changed even faster than the D300. The feeling of quality and substance manca.rnSul field the first big surprise came by AF. While using the same form of the D300 is much more sensitive and fast. Amazing how easily engage in the dark. The other surprise came from the image quality. Color, dynamic range and held at high ISO are above my expectations. A huge leap forward compared to the D300. Mind the grain is quite visible but is so fine as to be visible to the human magnificationsor extremely easy to remove in post. The problem of D300 was that the grain had such dimensions that remove it without affecting the detail was very difficile.rnFino to ISO 10000 color noise is absent, well begins to be felt only over 12800 it gets annoying. So from this point of view I do not regret not being passed to fullframe. Burst and buffer capacity are more than adequate for my purposes especially selecting the raw 12bit and self limited to ISO 10000 (above the buffer is halved do not know why). If necessary, I find very useful function that allows you to increase the crop to 7fps burst while limiting weight and file size, while retaining approximately 15MP risoluzione.rnInfine of the viewfinder, large and bright like the D300 but with the plus Character brighter and visible. Video, timelapse, Wi-Fi are features that increase the fun of using this little gem.

tamron_150-600vcTamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD

Pros: Focal length. Sharpness, contrast, color, absence of aberrations, blur, stabilizer, autofocus, price.

Cons: Button the Focus Limiter uncomfortable. Bracket tripod uncomfortable for the transport

Opinion: The building, considering the low purchase price, it is excellent. The plastic is good, the rings are very smooth and precise, and there is also a rubber gasket at the bayonet catch. Even the front edge, in the vicinity of the thread filters is rubberised, allowing to lay it upside down without too many problems and without a hood. 'S is a bit too light and delicato.rnLa optical quality is amazing and has revived my old Nikon D300. Even at 600 mm, diaframmando f / 8, the quality is ottima.rnSu whole range of focal defects do not exist. Excellent sharpness, as well as the contrast. The colors are very pleasant, as well as the quality of the blur, soft and never nervous even in high luci.rnLo stabilizer is a real pleasure. I, who are not a sample of a steady hand, I took a 1/100 to 600mm with ease and consistency of results. The weight feels but the lens is still very balancedand quite comfortable to impugnare.rnPassando defects, the only ones worthy of note are, in my view, the cursor focus limiter, not always intuitive to use with an eye to the viewfinder and quite hard, and the bracket to the tripod that although being rigid enough is relatively short so that it does not allow easy transport by hand.

samyang_500_f8Samyang 500 mm f/8 Preset IF MC

Pros: Price, light weight, optical quality if you know how to use

Cons: Low light. Focus and aperture selection "laborious".

Opinion: I have owned this lens when I first started into photographic safari. I state that we are talking about a lens that costs just over € 100 but I think it has nothing to do with the catadioptric of the same focal length and the price also superiore.rnLa optical quality is not bad as long as you click with the necessary expedients. First of all, the lens suffers a disastrous drop in contrast when the front lens is hit by light. Just realized, I solved the problem with a lens hood homemade cardboard. Then, given the considerable focal length, you need to shoot with the necessary safety times. And here are the problems: the brightness is rather low, and this requires almost always raise the ISO (but this is not a big problem on the latest generation of reflex), but especially the vision in the viewfinder becomes fatiguing if the light is scarce. Consequently, the manual focus is not always facile.rnInfine, you must remember to manually close the aperture before shooting! RnTutto sumto be honest you can get results, so I would recommend it to anyone on a tight budget and if you are not going to use it for moving subjects.

sigma_24-60dgSigma 24-60mm f/2.8 EX DG

Pros: Optical quality. High brightness, quality of blurred.

Cons: Zoom that extends under the effect of weight

Opinion: This is a lens that, in spite of the low price it is able to provide great satisfaction. The sharpness is very good already at full aperture and color rendition very warm and pleasant. But the yield of the thrill is really soft blurred thanks to the diaphragm to nine lamelle.rnLa resistance to flare is pretty poor and it is annoying tendency Zoom to lengthen under the effect of peso.rnL 'focal length limited compared to the canonical 24 - 70 also makes it relatively lightweight and not bulky.

nikon_300f4_if-edNikon 300mm f/4 AF-IF ED

Pros: Optical quality and construction. Excellent value for money

Cons: Weight and handling

Opinion: Being already out of production for a while, you can find it used at a great price. Sharpness, color rendition and the blurred buoni.rnNitidezza are very high already at full aperture, excellent at f/5.6 and f / 8. With the multiplier 1.4 and 1.7 the quality is still very good if at least one aperture stop. In these cases, however, you have to deal with some chromatic aberration evident in areas of high contrasto.rnL 'autofocus is decent but it is not lightning. The tripod attachment is very solid but on the other hand the objective is heavy and a bit uncomfortable especially when using freehand because of an external form irregular and not very ergonomic.

kenko_1-4x_proKenko Pro 300 DGX 1.4x

Pros: Optical quality, construction, EXIF ??data

Cons: Slow autofocus

Opinion: I use it often combined with the Nikkor 300mm f / 4 and the Sigma 150mm f/2.8. In terms of sharpness and chromatic aberration is not known significant worsening compared to only one goal. The construction is very solid and the idea of ??a very well done. Very convenient that the Exif data is transmitted correctly. The autofocus loses much in sensitivity and accuracy, but do not know if this is due to the goals that I use that are not certain of the samples in this field.

nikon_d40Nikon D40

Pros: Compactness, Sharpness, Noise content

Cons: AF with only 3 points, Resolution, Dynamic Range, controls only accessible via the menu

Opinion: The D40 is a camera that can be very rewarding. Its sensor provides excellent clarity and a relatively low noise up to ISO 800. The body is very compact and lightweight and combined with a lens like the 18-105 gets a little bigger than a bridge camera but with a quality of much more level. Many commands are only accessible via the menu. The viewfinder is quite large and bright but has a few small indications. The AF is decent but offers only three points. The lack of internal engine limits, also, the compatibility with the only goals AF-S. Excellent flash synchronization up to 1/500s although the sensitivity can not go below ISO 200. Finally, the resolution of only 6 megapixels makes this machine not recommended when performing heavy crop.

nikon_18-105dx_vrNikon AF-S DX 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED VR

Pros: Focal length, sharpness, value for money

Cons: Brightness, autofocus

Opinion: Great lens handyman characterized by a high zoom range, useful in most situations. The sharpness is excellent and it is not necessary diaphragm more than one stop to increase it further. The quality / price ratio is amazing, especially if you can find it at the price specified in the description above. Between defects is considered a slow autofocus and stabilization that is not a miracle (about two stops). The maximum brightness also does not create special effects blur especially at maximum focal length, but this is obviously the price to pay for a lens light and cheap that, in a nutshell, is particularly recommended for all those occasions when you have to travel light without compromising an excellent overall quality.
