![]() | Nikon AF-S 35mm f/1.8G Pros: resolution, lightness, AF Cons: slightly cold colors and closed shadows Opinion: The optics are truly phenomenal, usable both at TA for portraits and at closed apertures for landscapes, with D850 it allows you to print large formats with edges at excellent resolution. The construction is plasticky but the optics are really compact and light. The colors are among the coldest I've seen and the shadows closed, in PP you have to work to give them a little "warmth" and open the shadows, which is very easy because fortunately there are no dominants and you can always balance everything sent on January 21, 2025 |
![]() | Samyang 35mm f/1.4 AS UMC Pros: Resolution and Colors Cons: Bad build quality Opinion: Optically it is a little gem, beautiful colors very very similar to Zeiss, excellent resolution at open apertures and excellent at closed apertures. The problem, and what a problem, is that this goodness is not supported by a decent construction, it is not only a matter of external plastic but it is also all the internal construction that leaves you really amazed (the front lens assembly when cleaning e.g. with lenspen moves by half a mm.......) My specimen specifically was also misaligned (the focus between right and left was totally different), moral of the story if you have money go directly on used zeiss 35/2, otherwise there are very good lenses such as 35 1.8 nikon and tamron, in addition to the sigma art that even if plasticky at least are built with knowledge of the facts. sent on January 21, 2025 |
![]() | Nikon Coolpix P1000 Pros: Telescope focal length, jpeg quality, very effective VR, orientable display, grip Cons: needs a great tripods because of the weight, some commands too "consumer", mandatory micrometric head in astrophoto Opinion: He does what he promises and he does it well. If you want to get closer to the world of naturalism is a great school to learn how to handle long focals and weights, if you are already used to reflex I recommend a D7500 and a tamron 150-600; you will achieve a much higher quality. Different speech for moon and sun astrophoto in that the quality is equal if not higher than the reflex-telescope configuration (up to 5") with huge benefits for the management of focus and weights (P1000 with tripods about 2.5kg, 5" telescope with frame about 15kg) In naturalistic the astronomical focal allows you to observe at a good distance with good quality but if it is your only purpose then the configuration d7500-150-600 is to be preferred and the sacrifice in economic terms will be well rewarded (proven buy a P900 that costs half and does the same thing. The first time you hold it in your hand and zoom in you'll be grounded: it's a bridge but it's huge! some commands can be improved. you have to keep the iso below 400. allows you to shoot in RAW but the jpeg is already very correct in most photos. A micrometric head and astrophoto remote shot are essential. Ultimately I use it almost exclusively for photos of the moon and the sun (with special filter) at the focal of 2200/2400mm in place of the d800-telescope and I have gained in everything: weights, clutter and final quality. sent on March 29, 2020 |
![]() | Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Pros: resolution and construction Cons: non-existent chromatic fidelity Opinion: I go a bit 'countertrend, I sold. We know the merits and we have already sold them from the first moment, resolution to TA, blurred, construction, price. What we see with time is a difficulty in post-production in balancing the white and the shades. You always have some dominant that you can hardly fix unless you go heavy with the post (which I've never liked). some photos I turned into black and white because you simply could not balance them.rnanche the weight was a discriminant, on this type of focal better something lighter even if slightly darker sent on February 17, 2018 |
![]() | Zeiss Milvus 21mm f/2.8 Pros: it is the ultimate OPTICS for landscaping Cons: graft of the front cap Opinion: The only "defect" is the front cap which has a tightened hook and sometimes releases, this being said the optic borders on perfection. if you are landscape designers it is the best that you can buy together with the 15mm because resolution, shades, shadows, lights and contrast is the best ever, worth every single euro of over 1600 that are used to buy it new. built to last a lifetime, has the fluidissima and surgical ring. moreover, it is not a small thing, it has an EXACTLY infinity limit so to make a landscape just go to the end and you have the focus exactly where it needs to be, and it remains there.rnin post production you set only the white balance and the picture control on landscape and the photo is already recommended by cartolinarnultra sent on February 17, 2018 |
![]() | Nikon AF-S 85mm f/1.8 G Pros: resolution, weight, price Cons: color rendering Opinion: Optically it has a great potential, resolution and high-level blur, I sold it for a simple reason: the color rendering has never convinced me, too far from the warm portrait yields typical of afd or zeiss. for those looking for warm tones, it is better to focus on the DC or AFD used with better results, of course if you do not use filters and Hollywood postproducts like me, if you spend more time on photoshop that with the camera in hand probably one is worth the other). rnFocus shift too high from 1.8 to 2.8 sent on February 17, 2018 |
![]() | Nikon AF-S 70-200mm f/4 G ED VR Pros: sharpness, vr and weight Cons: collar that costs as much as a 50ino Opinion: after having overcome the scam of the original collar sold at a price from robbery, we appreciate the qualities of this lens. Obviously it is designed to work better outside closed diaphragms where it holds the comparison with the 2.8 but that shows an advantage not just in terms of weight and size. excellent vr. I used it with great satisfaction in sports, landscape and even astrophotography with excellent results. some portrait at f4 sometimes runs away as well;) is very recommended if you do not have to shoot indoors with very little light sent on February 17, 2018 |
![]() | Nikon AF-S 28mm f/1.8 G Pros: Lightness and optical quality, blurred Cons: the ring of the maf is a little plastic Opinion: really excellent optics on D800, with something more than 35mm with regard to the composition of the image. Optically it is really great, you can use it from portraits in interiors to landscapes and as a shade is not too "cold" like other AFS and in post you work really well the file (apart from sometimes some slight dominant) .rnI had sold for the sigma 35 art but after some time I decided to buy it back (already sold the art for several reasons). blurred very good and better than 35mm in general. very recommended rn sent on February 17, 2018 |
![]() | Zeiss ZE/ZF.2 Distagon T* 21mm f/2.8 Pros: optical quality, mechanical, color rendering Cons: vignetting Opinion: Lens stratospheric, the best wide angle ever used, color rendering light years away from shades of normal glass (nikon, sigma etc.) rnsu d800 makes in world impeccable and even 100% the image is sharp from edge to edge. I use it exclusively in the field of view as landscapes and prefer it to the 14 / 15mm.rnnelle sunny days just adjust the WB and the photo takes vita.rnla vignetting sometimes requires correction even at small apertures, but does not degrade the immagine.rnla ring is so smooth and well rubbed it can be defined as an instrument of precision mechanics and the distance scale is very precise and with the detector perfectly infinito.rnULTRA recommended, once mounted the monkey disappears for any other angle on the market . sent on March 25, 2015 |
