The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Nikon AF-S 28-300mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED VR Pros: Versatile and very comfortable, incomparable for traveling light and with a single lens. Optical quality not to be denigrated Cons: Honestly I can't find any, it does its job as it was designed Opinion: I was reading opinions about the Nikon Z 28-400 and wondered if this, although definitely older, was still valid. I would say yes. It will not have the optical quality of the new 28-400 (which I don't know and therefore I take it for granted that it is superior) but certainly should not be snubbed. Brightness practically the same, considering that the Z-mount bayonet is wider and the slight difference in focal range. Comparable weight and size. Definitely x a Nikon Z sunset, there is no alternative to the 28-400, but for those like me, who use both Reflex and ML, with this you can go easy on both systems saving a lot of money. Their prices were also comparable. I use it with satisfaction on the D5, which has few pixels and allows you to easily go up with the ISO, to compensate for the low brightness of the Superzooms. But it's also good on the Z6II for the same reasons as the D5. Obviously I can always accompany it with my other lenses, from fixed lights to less extreme and optically superior zooms sent on February 01, 2025 |
 | Nikon D100 Pros: The first Pro (not flagship) with Sony CCD sensor, robust and reliable that can still have its say, despite the more than twenty years since its release Cons: I would say none, too bad for the firmware not upgradable and the menu without Italian language Opinion: My first DSLR was the D70 which came out two years after the D100 and cost exactly half as much as the D100. Shutter speed 1/4000 sec. and flash sync 1/250sec, lower than those of the D70, which reaches 1/8000 and sync at 1/500. Both 6 MP CCD sensor, but in the D100 the Raw is almost 10Mp, against the 6Mp of the D70. I found a better feeling than the D70. In those years the evolution of digital grew rapidly but substantially these two sisters are almost the same in terms of image quality. For the rest, CCD sensors have already been mentioned. Today it is found at ridiculously low prices and if you get the opportunity do not miss it, for robustness, reliability and curiosity of a still appreciable past. sent on November 17, 2024 |
 | TTArtisan 100mm f/2.8 Bubble Bokeh Pros: Bubble blur at a ridiculously low price. Metal and glass, including screw caps. No plastic Cons: Softness at full aperture and not only, but you certainly don't buy it for sharpness. Opinion: Taken used a few days ago, I immediately had a good tactile impression, no plastics, only metal and glass, including screw caps. Cute packaging. M42 connection. Lens hood not included. The Meyer 100 Trioplan is fashionable and with decidedly unaffordable prices in my opinion. The new Trioplan II costs a thousand coffees and this one costs 1/5, probably with the same blur, so I went fast on this model and I'm happy with it, obviously knowing what you're looking for. 13-blade diaphragm and blurring of the bright spots always circular. Soft at T.A. and also aperture, the Nikkor 100 f/2.8 E-series has a much higher sharpness. But this one is taken x the blur and it certainly does not disappoint. sent on April 04, 2024 |
 | Nikon 100mm f/2.8 Series E Pros: Small, lightweight, 7-blade diaphragm and unimaginable quality Cons: I don't know what to say to an optician that costs a few tens of euros Opinion: Got it three days ago to use it with the Nikon Scope Converter. Paid a ridiculous amount of money because the focus ring is a bit hard. I was able to get it repaired (fortunately) at a great price, so it couldn't get any better than this. I tried it on the Df and... WOW... A sharpness I never imagined. Since it is a cheap series, I had never considered it, not even 40 years ago. I mounted the HN-8 lens hood on it and on the Df it looks great. Very satisfied sent on March 07, 2024 |
 | Nikon Df Pros: Really nice vintage body, dials, shutter button, file quality. It pleasantly takes you back in time. The only one that also works with pre-ai Cons: Apart from the vertically arranged secondary bezel, nothing if you know what you're buying Opinion: I've had it since 2014, the only owner with only 8000 shots, (having other bodies). I confess that lately I've been thinking about selling it for Zf, but then I wondered why change it? On top of that, the outlay for the change would not be painless. It certainly doesn't have the technology of the ZF but in terms of beauty and retro style it is unbeatable, a real SLR. I use it mainly with 58/1.4, 105 DC and 180 AIS and it has always given me great satisfaction. If I didn't already have it, maybe I'd get the newer Zf, but I'm fine with that at the moment. Maybe one day I could take the Zf and put it next to my beloved Df. If you are not looking for advanced technologies but only the pleasure of a leap into the past, hold on to it. Fashions pass but you remain, .. Only sent on January 15, 2024 |
 | Nikon D80 Pros: Nikon's most successful CCD sensor. Economical, gives files with excellent colors Cons: Removed the obvious considerations for Reflex dated, I would say nothing Opinion: I bought it back a few days ago for the fourth time (if I'm not mistaken). I bought it new when it came out, in 2006, and maybe then I didn't appreciate it that much, also because in those years there was a continuous evolution. Rediscovered a decade later, I always liked it. It is said that the files are identical to those of the big sister D200, same 10 MP sensor, but I beg to differ. The Raw of the D200 is about 15 MP and that of the D80 about 8 MP, yet in my humble opinion the colors of the little one are more beautiful, brighter, more vivid. Indoors the BW is better than the D200, but outdoors the D80 takes flight and gives beautiful colors and I add perhaps even better defined even the D500. These are my personal impressions with home tests and comparisons, nothing scientific. Too bad that the expensive CCD sensor has been abandoned from the house for the cheaper CMOS, as is happening today between Mirrorless and Reflex. sent on May 01, 2023 |
 | Nikon AF 16mm f/2.8 D Fisheye Pros: Construction, pocket-sized, optical quality and backlight resistance Cons: Not received Opinion: Small optics, practically pocket-sized and discreet. Old school construction Made in Japan, all glass and metal. Two medium-high refractive lenses and one ED. The rear filter must always be mounted (ninth lens, neutral). Lens for particular and creative uses, (not every day), but that if necessary with a simple click (Nikon NX studio) transforms it into a wide-angle shot (about 12mm effective) with justifiable distortion, from which still a small crop and becomes a 14/15 mm. with exceptional central sharpness. Incredible backlight resistance. Minimum focus distance for full immersion shots, in short, a real little gem, very high rating! sent on March 26, 2023 |
 | Canon EF 200mm f/2.8 L II USM Pros: Lightweight, sharp, bright, yield and price used Cons: The stabilizer, but it would be heavier and perhaps even less performing Opinion: I took it about six months ago, when it was still in production. Although I used it little, having mainly Nikon equipment, I have to dive that surprised me very positively and I think it is at least on par if not even superior to the emblazoned Nikon AFD 180. On my 6D it goes so beautifully that it is the only lens I decided to keep (having a gap in the Nikon equipment). The stabilizer would certainly be comfortable (being a 200) but it would increase weight and number of lenses and probably would be at the expense of quality. Considering the price of the used (in line with the 180 Nik) I consider it a great purchase. sent on November 07, 2021 |
 | Nikon D70 Pros: Robust and semi-pro body, 1/8000 click, CCD sensor, double ring, internal AF engine and very advantageous used price. Cons: Dated machine yes, but its 17 years is very good, so I would say that I do not find any beyond the small monitor and noise beyond 500 ISO. All compatible with age. Opinion: I bought it in 2004 paying for over 1150 coffees and it was love at first sight, then following the wave of evolution Nikon switched to the later models, D80, D300 and so on. Fifteen years later, I decided to buy it back from the one I sold it to. Surely there is an affective motivation behind it, being my first DSLR, but I am sure that in its small way it will find a dignified space even among my FF. Highly recommended for those who want to enter the world of digital photography by spending a derisory amount. sent on June 06, 2021 |

 | Jupiter-37A 135mm f/3.5 Pros: Sharpness, colors, 12-slat diaphragm, with continuous movement, smooth and precise focus ring. Cons: It suffers the backlight and needs a light. Opinion: Taken yesterday out of simple curiosity in the 1980 Moscow Olympics. The guy who sold it to me had built him a handcrafted lampshed done very well I would say, given the ease of assembly and efficiency. 12-slat diaphragm, excellent manual focus, precise and of the right fluidity. Out-of-focus light points always with perfect rims that you can't count the sides, at least up to F/8. Well, I wanted to compare it with two giants of the same focal length, zeiss apo sonnar 135 f/2 and sigma art 135 f/1.8. I would have expected, as is rightly reliable given the cost of the two giant (11 to 13 times the price of jupiter) a remarkable difference that was not in all respects. Saturated colors, high sharpness, pleasantly rounded blurry but with less detachment of planes and less open shadows. The home trials I did were a short distance away and at least in this situation the ugly duckling behaved very well, given the derisory market price I would give a nice 10 cum Laude. sent on January 05, 2021 |
 | Zenit MC Zenitar 16mm f/2.8 Fisheye Pros: Great value. Smooth and precise ghiere. Good sharpness in the center Cons: Soft and scant at the edges, but recoverable diaphragm Opinion: I arrived again from Russia, after a month of waiting, but cmq respecting the indicated times. The price of the new little differs from the used for which I preferred to go on the safe. At T.A. it is very soft and has a kind of flou effect, which disappears immediately closing at f/4. the best you get from 5.6 up and while not coming to the excellent sharpness of the Nikon analogue, it has a yield more than dignified, especially when you think about the paltry cost. The dials of manual fire are fluid and without uncertainty, the blades of the diaphragm in their inaccurate movement. Compared to the Nikon 10.5 Dx is definitely lower than the edges species open, but closing recovers enough at the edges and in the middle, being cmq a FF I prefer it to the Dx. Col 16 Nikon obviously there is no match, but if you do not have big needs, considering that it costs 1/5 of his majesty, I would say that he has his reason. sent on June 30, 2020 |
 | Nikon AF-S 105mm f/1.4 E ED Pros: Sharpness already in T.A. bokeh, three-dimensionality, A.F. colors. Cons: Price Opinion: Great lens in my opinion, with a sharpness at full jaw-dropping opening. Compared with the Nikon 85 f1.4G, there is no history until 2.8 then the gap narrows. Compared to the Zeiss 100 Planar Makro f2, and again it is successful (sharpness, bokeh, shadow opening) but the Zeiss has more micro contrast. The weight of the footprint and the maneability are more than acceptable, considering the type of lens and especially when compared with the Sigma Art 135, not to mention the 105 Art decidedly out of standard. Compared to the Zeiss above it has above all the boast of the AF and an extra diaphragm. His Achilles heel is the price for both the new and the used. Recommended if it fits in your budget, better used also because it is easily resold. sent on March 26, 2020 |
 | Zeiss ZE/ZF.2 Makro-Planar T* 100mm f/2 Pros: Beauty and pleasure to physical contact, sharpness, colors, blurred, macro 1:2, diaphragms and M.F. Cons: I do not find, perhaps the lack of autofocus that penalizes him in the sudden changes of distance, but this was easily predictable. Opinion: I had the great opportunity to buy one a short time ago at a good price and I did not miss it. My first Zeiss, beautiful both aesthetically and to the touch, a real enjoyment. All glass and metal, including the lampshade that you can also mount upside down. Diaphragms with a 1/2-shot stop and a very long and precise M.F. diaphragms. An excellent lens for sharpness, colors, blurry and if that's not enough is also macro with 1:2 playback ratio that makes it even more versatile. The diaphragm f/2 (perhaps the brightest in the macro field) is another added value. Mounted on the Df then it's a show. I wanted to compare it with the Nikon AFS 105 f/1.4 on D810. I must say that he held the comparison with his head held high, although the Nikon remains in my opinion unbeatable especially at diaphragm 1.4, 2 and 2.8 not only for sharpness but also for blurred. Final judgment, money well spent up to the last penny and highly recommended, unfortunately makes you want to buy more Zeiss. sent on November 01, 2019 |
