![]() | Olympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 14-150mm f/4-5.6 Pros: Aim everything-do travel and tourism. Praticissimo and Light. Optical quality not bad. Even mechanically, he's a quarry. Cons: A bit of chromatic aberrations at full aperture. Low brightness. Lens hood to buy apart. Opinion: I bought it used a few years ago, at about €300: a real bargain. When I go around with my Olympus E-M10 Mk II I always keep it mounted on the machine. It is equivalent to a 28-300 mm on the 24 x 36 format and is therefore an extremely versatile lens. It's not stabilized, but my Olympus still has stabilization in the camera body. I use it especially on the road, both in the mountains and in the city, in all the circumstances in which there is a sufficient ambient light, or it is possible to use a flash. Compared with the fixed focal lengths, or with the professional objectives of the same brand, it certainly has lower optical performance; But I have to say that I used the mountain often for landscape photos and I got pictures that I printed myself in A3 format, with much satisfaction. As the magazine French Chasseur D'images says, the optical quality is good, (4 stars out of 5), not great, but it is so practical and comfortable! sent on March 08, 2019 |
![]() | Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 45mm f/1.8 Pros: Small, light, bright. Economic. Excellent optical quality, nice bokeh. Cons: The lens hood must be purchased apart. Opinion: It is equivalent to a 90 mm on full frame and is therefore very suitable for portrait. On an Olympus OM-D body enjoys the stabilization provided by the camera body. The optical yield, already at full aperture, is very good. Closing a little the diaphragm becomes very good. Being a micro 4/3 is very small and very light. Its high opening makes it possible to use it also in low lighting conditions, for example indoor portraits even without using the flash. When you focus on the face of a subject you have to be careful to focus on the eyes, especially if you use a high aperture to exploit the quality of the fuzzy, the so-called "bokeh". Having to choose only one lens to put in the bag photo, maybe in addition to the standard zoom, I would choose this Olympus. Like all fixed focal lengths, it has to be "rediscovered", especially if for a long time, maybe because of laziness, we are limited to the comfort of the zoom. sent on March 08, 2019 |
![]() | Panasonic Lumix G Macro 30mm f/2.8 ASPH OIS Pros: Light, pretty cheap, quiet in focus. The barrel doesn't get longer. He's got the bag. On Panasonic machine bodies is stabilized at the lens level. Get to report 1:1 Cons: It lacks the scale of distances and enlargements. It does not have a lens hood to outfit. Opinion: It is very good for the macro "from campaign" or however when it does not serve a scale of distances and enlargements. The mechanical and optical quality are good. I use it on an Olympus E-M10 II, both for generic macros, maybe on the fly, of household objects, flowers and whatnot, both for playback of 35mm slides. For this use, very particular to tell the truth, horsemanship in front of the lens, by means of an adaptation ring, a Hama slide holder. The results are satisfactory. In Reality it is not only a macro lens: its focal length, equivalent to 60 mm on full-frame, makes it suitable also for general use, both for landscape and for photos of Stada, and for portrait. It is a lens to do that has the only defect of a brightness not very high and a length of barrel designed for macro, so a little ' greater than usual. sent on March 08, 2019 |
![]() | Sigma 60mm f/2.8 DN Pros: Light, economical, bright. Good optical quality. Hood and semi-rigid bag in outfit. What more do you want? Cons: The smooth barrel will be nice to see, but to handle the lens is really very uncomfortable: slips from the hand. It doesn't have the focus scale. Opinion: The Sigma DN's have a good reputation, in my opinion fully deserved. I use it on an Olympus OM-D and-M-10 II and on a Panasonic GF-5, both Micro 4/3, which is equivalent to a 120 mm used on full-frame. It is a focal length that I like very much, suitable for both the portrait with the foreground of the face and attention to the focus on the eyes of the subject, that to a certain type of landscape (for example farmhouse on a hill, mountain pastures). After years of zooming, also complicit with the offer of Sigma, I rediscovered the pleasure of fixed focal lengths: The result pays off, especially on the small Olympus that has the stabilization on the sensor. It is however a perspective that, in my opinion, requires a certain commitment to use: If you want, often gives you the pleasure of discovery. I put it often in the camera bag, next to a zoom 14-150: I do not weigh at all, also due to the system micro 4/3 sent on March 08, 2019 |
![]() | Canon 6D Mark II Pros: Not too heavy, ergonomic, equipped with GPS and WiFi. It has the touch screen and adjustable. The ergonomics is that classic Canon, so in my opinion very good. Dynamic range of the good sensor at high ISO. Very good built-in JPEG processor. Good autofocus tracking capability, even in live-view because it uses a dual-pixel sensor. Battery life. Cons: Like the other Canon full-frame does not have the built-in flash. The focus points are grouped a bit too much in the center of the viewfinder: this probably derives from adopting an autofocus module derived from the EOS 80d. At low ISO numbers, you might have a noise in the higher shadows than in the competition cameras (Nikon and Sony). For video footage, the headphone jack is missing. Opinion: Is my first full-frame digital; I always keep in hand willingly and the feeling (I'm an old Canon user, I confess) was immediate. The color, if you use the JPEG directly from the machine, is very pleasant, typically "Canon". I usually use the picture Style "faithful image" type slightly modified to have more micro-contrast, but I also shoot simultaneously in RAW. By comparing with the EOS 7d MkII that I also possess, the images of the 6d Mk II still have something more: you perceive that the sensor is larger and that the dynamic range is better. I shoot images in the interior to the sensitivity up to 12800 ISO and are still well readable, even the jpegs that come out of the machine: this would be impossible with an APS-C. I read, on the Internet, some criticisms (rather theoretical to tell the truth) on the sensor of the 6d Mk II; I don't share them. The machine should be used to photograph, not to read a table of graphs that maybe you can not interpret. The 6d Mk II is fully worth its price; It doesn't have 4k video, but for a photographer that rarely does video it doesn't really matter. It is a machine that, citing an old motto of Kodak, feeds the "Joy of photographing". And sorry if it's cheap. Use good lenses, though, I recommend. sent on March 08, 2019 |
![]() | Canon 7D Mark II Pros: Build quality, ergonomics, super-fast focus system, dual-pixel sensor, GPS, stunning viewfinder showing 100%. Even the video footage, albeit limited to Full HD, is excellent, fully configurable and supported by microphone and stereo headphone jacks. The image quality, up to 3200 ISO, is very good, especially if you shoot in RAW. The command arrangement is the same as the EOS 5d Mk III. It has a double memory card. Cons: Non-orientable and non-"touch" screen, considerable weight, considerable battery consumption. Opinion: Although now a little ' aged, is still a formidable camera especially for action shots. Even in portrait, children and landscape photography It's great if you feel you are carrying its considerable weight, but appreciating its excellent build quality and its beautiful viewfinder. I was able to squeeze his focusing capabilities by photographing skaters who toured a skating field, at 10 frames per second: Once the "target" was hooked, he didn't quit. Basic does not have WiFi, but you can install via a dedicated coupon that replaces the memory card type SD. For my use I can do without: I prefer to have two memory cards, a CF for RAW and an SD for JPEG. If you love the Canon system, but don't want to spend on an EOS 1 and you "settle in" the APS-C format, it's still a great choice. Bring a spare battery, charge. sent on March 08, 2019 |
![]() | Canon EF 70-200mm f/4.0 L USM Pros: Lightweight, considering the range of focal lengths. Very sharp. Relatively inexpensive for a series L. Focus fast. The collar on the tripod must be purchased separately. Can be used with multipliers focal Canon. Cons: The size, especially with the lens hood (included) mounted, are considerable. Missing stabilization, but perhaps for use outdoors during the day or, if the light is poor, high ISO setting, this is no longer a problem. Opinion: Great lens, especially considering the weight and price. E 'light, but rather cumbersome (it is very long). I also use it with the Canon Extender 1.4x II multiplier, without losing the auto focus. The autofocus is very fast. rnLo bought in 2001, for use with an EOS 3 film and since then I've always used with satisfaction, even on digital (EOS 60D and 700D) .rnRispetto a zoom economy, the difference in image quality jump easily to the eyes . sent on August 19, 2014 |
![]() | Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Pros: Lightweight, maximum aperture (f / 1.8) high, good yield of high aperture blurred (bokeh), very sharp stopped down a couple of stops at least. Price was very reasonable. Good mechanical construction. Focus USM. Cons: The hood is not supplied with the unit. The minimum distance of focus is a little too long. The USM motor, compared with that of optical most recent, is not very fast. Missing stabilization. Opinion: Great portrait lens, and not only on the APS-C equivalent to a 135 mm full-frame SLR cameras. The yield of the fuzzy is pleasant and at the same time the sharpness is elevata.rnChi is used only to zoom should try at least once yield fixed focal length of a lens, maybe combined with the use of openings that no zoom you can afford; This is a lens that allows you to try such a "thrill" .rnIl price, then, it is perfectly reasonable (at least to me). Absolutely raccomandabile.rnIn Alternatively, the 100mm f / 2 USM performance very similar. sent on August 19, 2014 |
![]() | Canon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Pros: Fast in focus. Good sharpness if not used at full aperture. Well built considering the price. Focal length range for an excellent all-round use. Very useful zoom lock when storing it in the bag. Good stabilization. Cons: Hood not included. It lacks the scale of focus and depth of field. Extensive use of plastic (but perhaps not a fault). At shorter focal distorts a bit '. Opinion: Great lens to do everything, even for the video. The focal range makes it suitable both in landscape and in portrait. The focus with stepping motor (STM) is fast and whisper-quiet. Used on an EOS 700D allows, working in Live View, to chase the subject automatically, keeping it in focus even as it moves without having to hold the button scatto.rnLa sharpness, especially when not using it wide open, it is very buona.rnIn wide angle position shows some distortion, which can however be corrected through 5 programs like Lightroom, Photoshop Camera Raw CC, PT Lens or Digital Photo Professional in the same Canon.rnE 'a lens that I leave often mounted on the SLR, and that I always choose when I want to carry around a single ottica.rnIn summary, a great purchase for any SLR Canon APS-C format. sent on August 19, 2014 |
![]() | Canon 700D Pros: Light weight, excellent touch screen sensitivity is like that as resolution, high-speed focusing, especially with the objectives of type STM (STM I use the 18-135 very often). The ability to track the subject when working in Live View is very convenient, not only in the video. Great exposure meter. Excellent performance even at high ISO numbers (3200) RNLA management of external flashes wirelessly is very comfortable and I often use it with one or two Canon speedlite Cons: The building knows a bit 'too much plastic. Sometimes you miss the double ring and the diplay on the cover, as on the EOS 60D; for what it costs you can not have tutto.rnIl viewfinder is not very bright. Opinion: The purchase of a Canon EOS series of three digits is generally a safe purchase. I read several reviews of this machine on the Internet, in particular on dpreview.com and imaging-resource.com, before changing the way the "old" with the new EOS 550D EOS 700D. rnIl sensor "hybrid" with the central part of a double set of pixels (in advance of that of the EOS 70D) is very convenient and allows working in Live View to track the subject and keep it in fuoco.rnIl touch screen is crystal clear and sensible (is of capacitive type as that of the smartphone), over which orientabile.rnLa image quality (I shutter always in RAW) is really good, even at ISO 3200. The methods of use, both creative (P, Tv, M) that the automatic ones, making the machine very pleasant and fun to use even for a photographer esperto.rnLa management of wireless external flash is absolutely complete and is very comfortable. So, to me that I also have a Canon EOS 60D is an excellent second body, or when I go to the mountains, and aXCELLENT SLR that allows me to take pictures of everything without taking too peso.rnSono really pleased to have bought it and recommend it unreservedly to all canonists who want a good SLR at a price much less than 1000 Euro (lens included) sent on August 19, 2014 |
