Reviews of cameras, lenses, tripods, heads and other accessories written by Alabamasmith

The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator.

Sony FE 28-60mm f/4-5.6

Pros: Optical quality, size and weight, bundled price with the A7C, quiet and fast AF. Easy balance on cheap gimbals. Blurry and detachment of the floors at 60mm pleasant.

Cons: Absence of light shield attachment, cost, front lens that needs a filter, because flush with the barrel.

Opinion: The objective in question is really a breath of fresh air: crisp, fast and quiet, compact and light. Perfect for amateur, or travel use. Outdoors or in controlled situations it is possible to use it in the professional field, even on video, because it is extremely easy to balance it on a gimbal. Lately I have been using it instead of my fixed 1.8 and 2, outdoors, because blurry is not always more important than the convenience of a zoom. And regardless the blurry and the detachment of the floors at 60mm is still pleasant, despite being at 5.6

Sony A7C

Pros: Improved AF, improved colors, clutter and weights. Usual excellent sensor.

Cons: Some keyboard shortcuts removed, joystick removed, price high, semi-mechanical shutter max at 1/4000, small viewfinder, flash sync at only 1/160.

Opinion: The machine is very good, even if the removal of the keyboard shortcuts compared to the A7 III makes my nose twist. Some things remained the same (menus, videos), others improved: AF with better tracking, improved color science. Weights and dimensions are even smaller, great for photo amateurs, but also for professionals who use lightweight gimbals for videos. In short, I think it is a very good compromise, but at too high a price at the moment. A7III is preferable for all-around use, in my opinion.

Canon EF 17-40mm f/4.0 L USM

Pros: Relatively inexpensive, build quality L, excellent at closed diaphragms, light and compact, 77 filters

Cons: At TA does not scream at the miracle, less than the 16-35 F4 is

Opinion: On FF Canon is the only economic objective ultra suitable a little ' to everything: interiors, landscapes, etc... Among other things its cost on the used is slightly lowering. I recommend it because it is good quality optical and constructive, and while not equaling the modern character of the 16-35 F4 IS (which I took in its place), I have good memory. Obviously it gives the best of itself to at F8, as written everywhere.
