The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Canon EOS R6 Pros: AF module, construction, viewfinder viewfinder, very manageable digital noise Cons: 20 megapixels per crop Opinion: Mirrorless FF which has given me a lot of satisfaction, ISO hold and AF module are the two greatest qualities. As a con, unfortunately, having used it exclusively for nature photography, I count the degradation of the image of the subject when making important crops of the file. Of course, "only" 20 megapixels don't allow much. On the other hand, at close range when you don't need to cut the frame too much, the detail is excellent, nothing to say. Keys arranged intuitively, I came from a 5D mark IV and I was not affected by the physical change of the machine. All very well arranged and intuitive. I leave it after 3 years of intense use to try a conscious downgrade towards the R7, I am aware that with low light I will have to pay attention and not a little to the ISO, but as soon as the light becomes good I think I will take advantage of the 32.5 megapixel sensor and the greater flexibility of my RF 100-500 which will become a 160-800. Let's hope for the best!! sent on November 02, 2024 |
 | Canon Adattatore Canon EF/EOS M Pros: 100% guaranteed automation, lightness Cons: none found Opinion: A nice compact, lightweight and "thin" adapter ring that I used on the M5 to mount a Canon EF 70-300 is II nano USM. Very convenient also the underlying attachment to hook it to the tripod plates. Nothing to say, the automatisms have always worked perfectly quickly without ever having any kind of problem. Its use allows you to access the entire vast audience of EF / EF-S lenses to be mounted on M bodies. To be had almost obligatorily together with the M bodies. sent on January 13, 2023 |
 | Canon EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM Pros: Compactness, lightness, materials with which it is built Cons: Particularly noticeable barrel distortion Opinion: Beautiful all-rounder, well built with a nice petal hood attached. Excellent AF speed, returns beautiful images with extremely pleasant tones. The only flaw found is the barrel distortion very evident on the horizon lines. Used in sime to an M5 you have a practical and fast, light and discreet solution to carry around for landscaping, street, etc. Promoted with flying colors in the consideration that in post-production it takes very little to straighten out a horizon born curved. sent on January 13, 2023 |
 | Canon EOS M5 Pros: Materials, articulated screen, intuitive controls, lightness, aesthetics (it's really a nice machine) Cons: Very slow AF in SERVO mode, hesitation af in low light, low resistance to high iso Opinion: The Canon M5 I took some time ago for my son and as a spare forklift for me combining it with a Canon EF 70-300 is II nano USM through the EF-M / EF adapter ring. With little weight and very small dimensions I had in my hands a nice combination using an equivalent focal length of 480 mm extremely suitable for non-demanding naturalistic. The image quality was sufficient but not exciting (clearly if I compare it to my mother equipment: R6 + RF 100-500 L). In addition, the AF system in some cases has proved to be out of step with the times. Therefore, my son began to feel the need for a change of camera body. I wanted to please him by taking a more modern R10 (which will also serve me as a forklift). In summary, I have described the M5 in the pros and cons of this review. I would definitely take it for "basic" use but I would not recommend it to an experienced photographer. I also used it with the native EF-M 18-55 is STM for some landscape, in this case nothing to say considering the limits of optics. Positive judgment but for the naturalistic "serious" need more. sent on January 13, 2023 |
 | Canon EF 1.4x III Pros: Lightness, sharpness Cons: I haven't found any Opinion: A little gem to always have with you. Used in conjunction with the Canon EF 70-200 f / 4 is L series and especially for over 4 years with the Canon EF 100-400 is II L series, with the "old" SLR has always behaved very well, practically I have never noticed loss of sharpness. On the other hand, with an R6, always with the same lens, I could find a slight "fogging" of the image when mounted. I sold it together with the above optics opting for the native RF 100-500 that I intend to use without multipliers to the advantage of sharpness and greater aperture (f / 7.1 instead of f / 8) at the small cost of a very modest loss of mm (500 instead of 560). In summary, recommended on SLRs!!! sent on December 02, 2022 |
 | Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM II Pros: versatility, sharpness, colors, robustness Cons: a bit short for naturalistic, often used with the extender Opinion: For 4 years I had this lens that gave me a lot of satisfaction. I recently replaced it with the RF 100-500 saving weight, removing and also reselling the 1.4x III multiplier and the adapter ring that I used with an R6. The lens is of excellent construction and has quality materials and returns a sense of overall robustness. Excellent speed of MAF. It showed the limits with my new mirrorless in terms of overall sharpness, especially when coupled with the aforementioned multiplier. It remains an excellent lens coupled with the "old" SLR, now on the second-hand market is at really affordable prices. The difference in terms of weight, af and sharpness is all in favor of the older brother. Thank you for the good times lived together dear 100-400, it was a pleasure to have you. sent on December 02, 2022 |
 | Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Pros: Lightness, sharpness, stabilization Cons: A bit plastic and nothing else for the price Opinion: It seems to me a good lens that I used of "forklift" with my second Canon M5 aps-c camera. A combination entrusted to my son that has proven effective even in shed shots (the lens is a 400mm equivalent on aps-c). He asked me to replace it with the more effective EF 70-300 is USM II with Nano USM technology thus reaching 480mm equivalent. The 55-250 is undoubtedly a small gem quite sharp, not very fast, but certainly suitable for photography of fairly static subjects and for a multipurpose use on light and transportable solutions. Highly recommended! sent on March 22, 2022 |
 | Canon 5D Mark IV Pros: Massive construction, ergonomics, viewfinder, AF speed and docking of moving subjects, battery life, touch monitor Cons: excessive noise and loss of detail (kneading of the image) in distant (animal) subjects and in the shade Opinion: Fantastic machine, nothing to say for AF speed, subject hooking, ergonomics, screen touch, dual memory card, etc. The only limitation I found in the excessive noise at high iso on distant subjects and in the shadows. I know well that I expect perhaps too much but unfortunately shooting in those conditions for naturalistic (sunrise or sunset) a little I found what was said. I used it with the 100-400 is II. For the rest as soon as the light becomes decent this machine is absolutely fantastic, nothing to say. Highly recommended to those who are linked to the SLR world and want an all-round for all photographic genres. sent on December 09, 2021 |
 | Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 L USM Pros: Excellent construction, weight and sense of robustness, blur dreamlike Cons: I can't find any because I knew what lens it was Opinion: My favorite portrait lens. Every shot at 1.2 gave me fairytale portraits. Ready-made files without any need for post production. A legendary lens that ranks at the top of the genre "soft portrait" (pass me the term) when used at maximum apertures. Closing the slats we move from a soft character to a sharper and engraved one while maintaining a dream blur. In short, it is like having two goals in one. This feature in my opinion makes it unique in its kind. For a multifaceted portraitist it is impossible not to wish to have it!!! Legend, myth, unattainable!!! No longer doing portraiture I separate myself with enormous regret, I hope that those who will have it after me will get enormous satisfaction. sent on November 10, 2021 |
 | Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM Pros: General sharpness, construction, AF, IS Cons: The position of the zoom ring is a bit uncomfortable Opinion: My first L Series in support. A wonderful handyman with whom I learned the first rudiments of composition. How many shots and how many memories related to this lens. Very robust, IS effective but a bit noisy. Excellent f/4 on all focal lengths. It is now an "old" lens that is just a few euros away in the second-hand market. I really recommend it to those who want to venture into the photographic world by buying at modest sums an excellent all-rounder lens with which to have fun and also take away some satisfaction. Goodbye my friend and thank you for everything, I separate with sadness but I was sorry to keep it "thrown" in the drawer for unused. sent on November 10, 2021 |
 | Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS USM Pros: Exorbitant sharpness, excellent stabilization Cons: Plastic construction and general sense of "fragility", not up to the L Series brothers Opinion: In one word: spectacular!!! I used it on both APS-C (Canon 7D mark II) and FF (Canon 5D mark IV) and I used it in the fields of Macrophotography and Portraiture (when I was looking for sharpness and engraving in faces). Blurry beautiful and soft, never nervous. AF quite fast and extremely accurate. The construction with the massive use of plastics makes it different from the classic L Series that give a greater sense of robustness. I consider it a very valid ally in the areas described above, a lens that cannot be missing. I separate myself from it since I no longer devote myself to the photographic genres mentioned but I highly recommend it. sent on November 10, 2021 |
 | Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM Pros: Construction, sharpness, compactness Cons: nobody Opinion: I used this landscape lens in conjunction with the Full Frame sensor of my Canon 5D mark IV. I was totally satisfied both for sharpness and for how it is built (excellent sense of compactness that it provides when you take it in hand). An excellent L Series suitable for every landscape need. The always comfortable IS helps freehand in low light conditions. A must to have absolutely in support. I gave it up because I currently dedicate myself only to nature photography. sent on November 10, 2021 |
 | Canon EF 14mm f/2.8 L USM II Pros: Impeccable construction, compactness, sharpness Cons: In my opinion none Opinion: An important lens that gave me beautiful shots of landscape and astrophotography. The onerous economic commitment has been amply repaid by this lens that has never betrayed my expectations. I separated from it because recently I am devoting myself exclusively to nature photography and I no longer do other genres. For the rest nothing else to add... indeed yes, aesthetically it is beautiful with its front lens and fixed hood. I part with regret. sent on October 25, 2021 |
 | Canon EOS M3 Pros: Compactness, construction, simple and intuitive menu, grip, battery life Cons: Nothing to report Opinion: Machine that I intended for landscaping and that I used with its EF-M 18-55 is STM. I appreciated the compactness and intuitiveness of the controls as well as the tilting screen. Excellent "compact" that I have often combined with the REFLEX that I use in naturalistic. A great product with which my son approached the most advanced automatisms of the Canon house. I recently replaced it with an M5 (equipped with a viewfinder) with original Canon adapter ring that I will use in excellent light conditions in coupling with the EF 100-400 is II and with the multiplier 1.4x III when I need to get closer to the subject. sent on January 18, 2021 |
 | Canon 7D Mark II Pros: Gust, AF module, general robustness, double board, joystick Cons: Limits to high ISO, wifi absence, touchsreen absence, AF limitations with multipliers Opinion: Having for almost 3 years has given me enormous satisfaction. An "all-rounder" reflex dedicated to naturalistic and action photography but that does not disdain its use in landscape, portraiture and macros. It is enhanced with L-series optics. The only flaw is the poor hold of high iso files (jpeg) and the absence of the touchscreen. I also mention the limitation of the AF module with focal multipliers. In short, it is a great camera, robust, ergonomic and extremely versatile that in its field (and not only) that has always given me satisfaction and absolute reliability. sent on November 05, 2019 |
 | Manfrotto 804 RC2 Pros: Robustness, material quality Cons: Difficult end adjustment Opinion: A beautiful well-built, massive head is with an excellent grip of its large knobs. It was my first head from landscapes, macro and astrophotography. Hard to make adjustments of up, this its only "defect". Great to start with an important tripod is therefore not suitable for small tripods. sent on June 29, 2019 |
 | Canon 5D Pros: Body strength, general ergonomics Cons: Display that returns too dissimilar images once downloaded to the PC Opinion: I make a premise: I had this FF to use it exclusively with vintage optics. A massive machine, a battery that does its job well, an easy and intuitive menu. These undoubtedly the strengths. In order to make adjustments on the shots seeing the previews is difficult. The display shows different images (of hue and sharpness) compared to the files viewed on the PC. The feeling didn't take off, which is why I sold it a little later. This review is therefore very limited because, as I mentioned, I had little time the machine and I used almost exclusively with vintage optics. I let better express who used it in other contexts. sent on January 31, 2019 |
 | Canon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM Pros: Lightness, sharpness, transportability Cons: Nothing to report Opinion: A jewel, purchased used in excellent condition, was a few years at my side employed to approach the world of nature photography paired with my 7d mark II. The two main qualities of this glass are the sharpness (even a TA) and the weight that make travel companion reliable, precise, discreet. Obviously a little short as the maximum focal distance for wildlife photography so, before we passed on to anything else, I picked up a Canon 1.4x III teleconverter. The behavior from multiplied is excellent, it will be the last perfect generation of Canon multipliers or it will be the same lens, but the results were of absolute prominence. If you do not need higher focal distances, this lens is a bargain in relation to the price in which it is now, especially if used. I used it sporadically also for portraits, it seems too engraved for this kind. In One word: Highly recommended. sent on November 21, 2018 |
 | Canon EOS M Pros: Building materials, touch screen, lightness and practicality of use Cons: Non-orientable screen, no built-in flash, no wheel at index to vary parameters Opinion: A beautiful travel companion, small but robust, that can churp out delicious files as long as you do not exaggerate with the ISO. Great and practical touch on the screen. I had it combined with the EF-M 18-55 is STM and I must say that for difficult trips or for "Sunday trips" is truly incomparable for practicality and above all for lightness. As soon as I saw a M3, however, I immediately sold it, not so much for dissatisfaction, but to have that something more of which the M3 is equipped and M No. I speak of the wheel to the index of variation of the parameters, the screen always touch but orientable, of the focus peacking, of the built-in flash, of the best ergonomics and of many other small comforts and features absent on the M and which made me stretch For its replacement. I think the EOS M, the small parent of the mirrorless Canon, still an excellent purchase for those who want a very small but powerful camera to carry always behind to avoid backpacks and more voluminous equipment that, again, for small trips and excursions They can be heavy and bulky. I took her to march for a fast three days of Street in London, gave me many satisfactions, I presented in front of the Tower Bridge at night and the little one is not done at all to intimidate: https://www.juzaphoto.com/galleria.php?t=2713476&l=it sent on August 09, 2018 |
 | Canon 70D Pros: Swivel and touch screen, Wi-Fi, general file quality, battery life, buttons customization, fine AF adjustment Cons: Few points of MAF Opinion: The 70d was my third SLR and the first serious camera. Very great satisfactions with this machine. When I took it I began to support only optical L series and was immediately love. I kept it several years and was a loyal companion even in adverse weather conditions. Infinite Battery, the tilt and touch screen beautiful, clear and very useful. Equipped with Wi-Fi. I highly recommend as a handyman machine coupled with quality optics that can be calibrated through the fine adjustment of the AF directly in the camera since the 70d has this fundamental function. To have a higher number of AF points and a more powerful module, maybe in the same band, you can steer on the 80d, but if you do not have excessive claims then, even today, is an excellent machine "generic" on which you can rely fully in every Condition. sent on August 09, 2018 |
 | Canon 600D Pros: Adjustable screen, general ergonomics and functionality Cons: If you approach it as entry level anything apart from the noise at high ISO Opinion: It was my second reflex and I had it for a long time. The leap in quality compared to the 1100d that I had before was remarkable. First of all the adjustable screen that allowed me to approach the landscape photography and other genres from new "points of view". For those who want to spend little to start I would recommend it even today paired with maybe two discrete optics such as the 18-55 is STM and 55-250 is STM. Little expense, much surrender. In short, a "must" entry level still able to give satisfactions can also exploit a widening of potential with Magic Lantern. Advised to the newbies who look out for the wallet. sent on August 09, 2018 |
 | Canon 1100D Pros: Very easy to use Cons: Noise even at average ISO Opinion: It was my first DSLR, it's been many years since then. An object that I remember with sympathy and affection, I had it with the 18-55 is II. Very simple to use. Over time, when I deepened the world of SLR I discovered immediately the many limits in particular side noise. For those who start now and want to take it used advice to orient themselves on other machine bodies anyway cheap in the world of used type 100d or 600d and to use the 1100d only if you find it by chance or gift. It's an honest entry level but now obsolete. But I remember it fondly. sent on August 09, 2018 |
 | Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM Pros: Quality 'media construction, dual IS mode' Cons: Sharpness at longer focal lengths, difficulty 'engagement of maf Opinion: I can not speak very well of this lens. If one decides to take a 300 would expect better performance on more 'focal lengths and so' not 'was, at least on my copy. Ugly and noisy in the maf with that rotation.

Saro 'was unlucky as a copy but I must say that is not' was never true love between us. Nothing: clarity "awkward" (in the bad sense of the term) between f / 1.4 and f / 2.2 then a knife. Adjusted with AF Micro immediately but nothing, absent from the picture detail and knead. In more 'much too much trouble' with the side maf points. Superb in video.
