![]() | Canon EF 40mm f/2.8 STM Pros: Light, small, crisp Cons: Very slow Opinion: I'm going to start with his only flaw. Af is exasperatedly slow, at least on 6D. Removed this small defect, in relation to the price that is used (100€), it is one of the best Canon optics on FF. Great for street, portrait and landscape. Always sharp, even in peripheral areas, beautiful vivid colors. You put it in your pocket and mounted on the 6D, which is the lighter FF reflex Canon, make it a compact one that enters the pocket of a winter jacket. It's an obligatory purchase. sent on February 03, 2021 |
![]() | Voigtlander VM Nokton 35 mm f/1.4 MC Pros: Construction and dials, size and weight, maximum opening, general yield. Cons: FULL-open AC, yield to corners up to f/5.6, minimum focus distance (70cm) Opinion: I own the MC version, so with an anti-reflective treatment more suitable, according to the manufacturer, to color photography. I use it 'welded' to my Fuji X-E2, so it gives me a focal point of about 50mm, my favorite. From the point of view of the construction and the dexterity to use it, I can only be enthusiastic. All metal and glass, with the diaphragms' diaphragms ring that allows the click to 1/3 of diaphragm, not hard, neither soft and the dial for the focus well braked, without being too much. Great, for both dials, the finger clasping. The lens is small and light, which on an ML does not mind. From the point of view of optical yield, the large aperture allows you to use low ISO when the light is missing. It also has a pleasant bokeh and the detachment is clearly visible even to closed diaphragms. The overall yield is good, although the angles (despite the asp-c sensor) do not shine at full aperture. You have to close at least to f/2.8 to have them readable. At full opening suffers from a remarkable AC, just close to F2 and disappears. Impossible to use in close ups, having a minimum focus distance of 70cm, too bad. It's still a pleasure to use it. I don't think I'm ever going to sell this optics. I would like to test the yield on FF as well. Currently you can't use it on my 6D. I'll have to wait to buy an R. In the next few years maybe. sent on March 30, 2020 |
![]() | Canon EF 24-85mm f/3.5-4.5 USM Pros: Weight, dimensions, optical quality. Silent and precise AF. Cons: Full-color chromatic aberration Opinion: Optics all do with in the focal range that is interesting from landscape to portrait. The quality of the image that is returned is very good, though not good. You have to understand why you are looking for it. I use 99% optical optics, but I needed to use them in the classic family situations where I was asked to do as a photographer. There! This optic is perfect for these situations, especially by linking weight-dimension-quality-color-cost. It may be used with a flash.rnDoted with a silent AF and with a sniper precision, at least on 6D, it forgets the few flaws it brings. rnDifficult to find in the market because I think a few would give it away at a low price (but more could not be asked) than the undeniable benefits it has. rnPutting out sharpness, the center is always sharp, less at the extremities of the wide openings. Even closing at f5.6 is clear even at the sides. It has a blur very soft, pleasing. Beautiful warm colors typical of the 90s usm series. The constructionand is not excellent, with the barrel divided into two parts when it stretches, and it cuts a bit. I have to say, however, that the specimen in my possession, despite having a few decades behind, does not have only granules of dust inside the interior. If you love the fixed but still need a zoom for rare occasions, and you think it's not worth looking for a L-style optics, this model could do it for you. Optical to use with Canon DPP for the necessary corrections (distortion and AC) sent on October 08, 2017 |
![]() | Canon EF 100mm f/2.0 USM Pros: Opening, construction, size and lightness, colors, AF. Great focal point for portraits. Cons: soft at F2. A little AC always at F2 Opinion: I start by saying that it is a magnificent lens! Robust, compact and lightweight. It is worth every € I paid for it and even more. The AF is silent and lightning-fast. It is also very reliable. The lens is a bit soft at F2 but it is a typical portrait focal point, so I would say it's okay. F2.2 then disappears all defects and becomes very clear. At F4 then it is a real blade. It delivers well contrasted images and warm shades, like all the series of ultra-canon canons of the 1990's. Colors are, however, less saturated than the L series. With the 28 and 50 of the same series make up the perfect triad to go around doing a bit 'everything: from street photography, to portraits, to landscape, to theater. And all three with the filter attack from 58. I always recommend buying it again as it is my opinion that Canon has over the years upgraded the usm engine software, which is now more reliable. I add that in the past I had the 85 F1.8. The 100 & egrave; best in all respects. It is also a focal point that allows you to make the subject more comfortable. sent on October 06, 2017 |
![]() | Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM Pros: Construction, size, weight, AF, optical quality. Chromatic rendition. Cons: Clare, but I like that vintage rendition of it in backlight Opinion: Updated review in 2018: A year after its purchase I can say that I am fully satisfied. We start from the building, really solid. Much better than the 50 1.4 of the same series and equal, instead, to that of 100 F2. The AF is lightning-fast, silent and precise. About optical Quality If you read all the colors on the net. Exceptionally sharp in the center, I found it sharp at intermediate diaphragms and closed also on the rest of the frame. Today they are fashionable super sharp from edge to edge, this lens, compared to the weight, cost, brightness and overall yield, has little or nothing to envy to modern lenses. The blur is very characteristic and the color rendition is not too saturated. Why did I buy it? Because with Canon's Triad 28-50-100/1.8-1.4-2 USM, I have a perfect backhoe for my needs and that is to mediate between brightness, optical quality, weight and compactness. All three with the same diameter filters. Also I have a similar color rendition on all three lenses and this facilitates me in post production. I bought it new because I am convinced that often the bad reputation of optics born in the years 90 is due to the fact that you test and buy old copies. It is true that the optical pattern does not change over time, but in 30 years I am convinced that surface treatments and glass processing due to new technologies have changed, and maybe even improve the optical qualities, you never know. Not to mention that mechanical and software updates of the AF engines are performed which are therefore more reliable. Ultimately I judge it a very good purchase. sent on October 04, 2017 |
![]() | Canon EF 17-40mm f/4.0 L USM Pros: Construction, colors, flare-hold. Cons: no one considered the price Opinion: I've got 17-40L a lot. So many times I thought I'd sell it to pick up fixes that replaced the various covered focals and especially an ultra wide bright to photograph the night sky, but then I think of the advantages listed above and that is the great construction (the nickname used by many, carroused, it suits) combined with a great lightness, the warm colors that only Canon's L series has, and above all the great flare-hold. rnToo many times by framing the sun and the lights and I know this goal is a certainty in this regard.rnI also like the blur when snapshot full-aperture, very soft.rnThread sharpness at the center and less to the full sides. Just close a bit and get sharp on the entire frame (F8-F10) .rn sent on September 15, 2016 |
