The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Xiaomi Mi MIX Pros: Aesthetics, battery, screen, speed Cons: Fragility, proximity sensor, camera, buttons Opinion: Positives:-A unique mobile phone that amazes the design (it happens almost daily that someone asks me what it is). Designed by Philippe Starck, with square and thin ceramic body with small details in 18K gold (with a certificate). -Size screen perfect for a phablet (6.4 "). It has been designed to be the same size as the "classic" iPhone, but practically with an extra inch of screen, because of the extremely small frames. The thumbs are "real", because the screen is not stretched as the absurd today's fashion imposes (it would correspond to about 7 inches of a 19-20:9 screen). Moreover it lacks the unsightly nots/notch, and does not have the unnecessary edges of the screen round, so fashionable now. -The 4400 mAh battery is huge, but after two years it shows signs of failure and no longer does two days as when purchased (also due to the continuous software updates, more and more demanding). The quick recharge is very effective, and in the standard Qualcomm Quickcharge 3. -The mobile phone to date shows no signs of slowing of any kind (at that time 6 Gb of RAM and 256 of memory were many, moreover to little less than €400). The latest stable update is at Android 8 with MIUI 10. -To date glass and ceramics have no signs of wear or scratches (except for a fall damage). Negatives:-The proximity sensor has never worked well from the start, despite continuous software updates. Of course, it is not a classic sensor (the reduced frames do not allow its presence), but an ultrasonic sensor under the screen. It gives a little bit of trouble in the phone call phase, and you find yourself opening random apps. It is perhaps the only real problem of this phone, very hardy for its time. -The ceramic allows to make the surface eternal to scratches, but it is also fragile in case of falls. The phone will have fallen 3-4 times in its life, but in one of these a piece of pottery is blown away by one of the corners. -The power button, while underutilized (the phone comes on with the very fast fingerprint sensor, and goes off with a double tap), now has almost stopped working (I do not know what will happen if the phone should never turn off by itself). -The camera is pathetic, because the style has imposed that the phone was often 8 mm and without any relief. But then I have my Sony, so I have never done anything, except to scan documents with the appropriate apps, work that performs well. Conclusions: I would buy it again right away. To date no phone is approaching him in the slightest. Perhaps Huawei Mate 20 X approaching him, but the notch on the screen, the processor not Qualcomm, weight and thickness do not make it minimally comparable (however at a significantly higher price). Cute the future OnePlus 7 Pro, but the battery is smaller and the screen tighter and with curved edges. And then it would cost infinitely more. I follow on ebay auctions that sell it used... And that's all to say. Nothing to do with his successors, practically other telephones (much smaller as screen and battery, with asymmetric edges, etc.). sent on May 13, 2019 |
 | Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 Pros: Lightness, cost Cons: Resolve, Bokeh Opinion: I have owned several 85 and in one of the various stages I purchased this 85 looking for something light and that was fully supported by Sony (especially the focus on the eye). The lens is light, small, well-built. It is also one of the less expensive lenses of the Sony system, albeit far more expensive than the Canon counterpart. I resolute it right away because of the optical characteristics. The resolution is too low for R series sensors, and perhaps more suitable for the A7 series "Smooth". It shows obvious limits also to f2.8, perhaps because the Sigma lenses, albeit stratosferically heavier, had accustomed me well in terms of quality already open. From the point of view of the resolve does not make the Canon regret, however, much less expensive (although not comparable, because adapted). Also, the bokeh has features that I don't like: it has a character that doesn't belong to me. I much prefer the Canon to that effect. I landed at Batis, which is another world in terms of resolve, albeit not at Sigma levels. The weight and size are just higher than the Sony and the Canon, but definitely not even comparable to the Sigma. Obvious: The price range changes considerably. sent on February 22, 2019 |
 | Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM Pros: Light, small, excellent build quality, good image quality. Cons: The resolve, especially at the extremes, at full aperture and in particular at 35, is not the best. Opinion: Beautiful lens, comfortable, light, practical and well built. Little bigger than a similar zoom but F4. The quality of image is high, but unfortunately nothing to do with fixed the caliber of Art, despite what is alleged by advertising. But on the other hand, the 42MP sensor does not forgive any smearing. I doubt that there is better on the market at certain focal lengths and openings, in fact of zoom. sent on September 27, 2018 |
 | Sigma 135mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art Pros: Resolve, blurry, constructive quality, autofocus reactivity, size, cost Cons: Weight Opinion: The resolution is excellent already at full opening, with the first signs of diffraction already beyond f4, as is the case with the resolving lenses (on a 42-megapixel sensor in my case). Surgical resolution across the entire opening frame for me is more important in the portrait than in the landscape: the details of a face can easily be removed but not invented out of nowhere, and in the landscape even darker and lighter lenses work fine. In short this is the perfect lens for portraits, in my opinion. Some time after I bought it I had to use it as the only lens on a city trip to learn. The management of autofocus, with so-called fire plans, is difficult for those who like me prefer landscapes, but-as for everything to learn. You need to use the A7RII with the small phase point and move the point with the ring nut as needed (with the new firmware the ring is movable in the joystick, thankfully). Additionally, the camera should focus on the dust of the glassesI have the lashes instead of the iris. Once you've learned how to handle it, however, the results are not to be expected, especially thanks to the precision of the mirrorless autofocus (on Metabones 4, in my case). I was impressed: it is even better than other Art lenses I've tried. Dimensions are not high considering the focal length and brightness. Weight, on the other hand, is felt. An applause in Sigma. sent on November 14, 2017 |
 | Sigma 14mm f/1.8 DG HSM Art Pros: Risks, no aberrations or astigmatism Cons: Coma up to f4, high weight Opinion: I bought it to replace a fake Samyang 14 f2.8 accidentally. A unique lens of its kind. Also on a resolute sensor (Sony 42MP in my case) is incredibly resolving already at full opening. Negligible distortion. Comparing with sacred monsters like the Samyang is overwhelming. At night there are no signs of astigmatism or chromatic aberrations of any kind (unlike the Samyang at full opening). The real and unique problem remains the coma: the stars are linear to the edges, to the rays of rays. The problem is reduced to f2.8 and disappears almost to f4, but it can be improved with accurate focus. However, it is better than any other lens I have tried this (or almost) focal point at f4. Weight is the only real problem for those who have back problems. sent on September 07, 2017 |
 | Sigma 180mm Macro f/2.8 EX DG OS HSM Pros: Risolvenza, brightness Cons: Weight Opinion: I was looking for a telephoto lens which would allow me to make the most of the sensor of my Sony A7RII, and I must say that with this Sigma (with Canon attack) finally found it. Risolvenza incredible already at f4, at or above my excellent Sigma 35 Art. The definition is still acceptable at 2.8 (in my opinion light years ahead of the Sony 70-200 f4 G). Focus working with Metabones (I do not do sports or hunting, so I can not say giudevo dicarla much). excellent stabilization, because augmented by the "Room". I am exploring the incredible potential macro (it's a genre that I beat little so far). The weight is high, but also because it is a bright tele macro. Pleasant blur. Cost broadly commensurate with the quality. rnAggiorno review after a trip to Iceland, where I made an intensive use. What about: breathtaking. I also tested the focus with birds in flight, and I must say that for my miserable necessity isIt has been incredibly effective (Always on Sony A7RII with Metabones). sent on September 16, 2016 |
 | Lowepro Transit Sling 250 AW Pros: slip movement with access to laterale.rnStile urban pocket inconspicuous Cons: Low capacity and poor ergonomics in case of too high weights. RNE 'can be fastened only very small tripods and light. Opinion: Use SLR since 2003, recently I switched to Sony Alpha 7R II. After extensive research and testing, I came to this product on the advice of a friend and after consulting various sites. Among all the products used so far I think is the best in many respects. The release system and forward displacement makes the use of the most immediate camera of any other product. The bag moves toward the front of mo 'baby carrier and creates almost a shelf, allowing you to take the camera from the side pocket or objectives, goals change, unscrew the adapter, place the caps, etc. The everything with extreme comfort, without the risk of accidental falls. A secondary shoulder strap retractable can be used to make it stable and suitable to light trekking (even if the backpack is not properly indicated for such activities). 'The only way, for me, to have on hand and how much like a cell phone camera, ready to use even for photos "rapids." The dimensions are obviously more & userious; contained than conventional backpacks: greater weight may not be supported on one shoulder. The "urban from backpack-style" makes the presence of SLRs not guessed (handy in the subway and on the streets). The build quality is Lowepro.rnrnL'ho standard used in a 9-day trip to New York all the time, and I can say I'm fully satisfied. On that occasion, I brought in the bag, all in horizontal position, wedged ad hoc thanks to adjustable dividers (then cash out all the same from the side opening): Sony A7R II with mounted on Sony-Zeiss 24-70 f4, Canon 17- 40L f4 of Metabones adapter, Sony 70-200G f4, f1.8 Canon 85, battery replacement. At the top I put the cell phone, the map of the metro, the wallets, handkerchiefs, a light sweater (in its place, a few days, I put a folding umbrella or a bottle of water) .rnrnParlando of negative notes, the door -treppiede is almost unusable because it unbalances the zaino and it makes the weight more noticeable on the back and makes it difficult and unstable as the famous slip movement to take the camera from the side pocket. With the mini-tripod Manfrotto Befree One problem is less obvious and the use is possible even if still not advisable for too long. Personally, I also would have preferred a principal softer shoulder and wide (and possibly the secondary). sent on May 31, 2016 |
 | Manfrotto BeFree One Pros: minimum space when folded, weight, materials, quality. Cons: Instability in wind and not very light equipment, absence of the hook. Opinion: A tripod voted to the trip. Needless to do around the bush: virtually unusable with a bit 'of wind and with greater weights of 1.5 kg. Lowering the center shaft to a minimum and extending the tripod legs can earn something extra. Obviously unusable for video, also because of the head. The weight is low, but not the lowest of the BeFree series. The dimensions are tiny when folded, making it even fit my small shoulder. This is definitely his strong point. Ideal for trekking, in my opinion. It does what it was intended for. I'm looking for a system and mount a hook, so zavorrarlo a bit ': blur to 100-200 mm is lurking already with minimal wind, and maybe it will be able to earn some money. The space for the hook there would be, but there stands the Manfrotto logo. sent on May 24, 2016 |
 | Metabones EF to Sony NEX Smart Adapter (Mark IV) Pros: Perfect on Sony A7RII. Cons: Price. Opinion: 28senza have to use the appropriate button). rnrnIl famous "flub" of the edges personally have not seen it with the few lenses tested and also judging by the opinions of others, we do not know whether there is and how much is related to the adapter, the camera or vibration reduction system. Therefore I do not comment on the matter. sent on May 10, 2016 |
 | Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Pros: Resolvency, bokeh, maximum aperture, coma, price, fast and surgical focus (on mirrorless). Cons: Weight, longitudinal chromatic aberration up to f1.6, hood. Opinion: A goal of high quality, bright, low-priced, resolving. The edges (on 42 megapixels) do not make the miracle shout at full aperture, but from f2 onwards are excellent. Contrast (not too much) low and high resolvency: what I personally prefer in the digital age. Focusing very fast and impeccable on my Sony A7RII + Metabones, I believe the high brightness. The longitudinal chromatic aberration, not resolvable in post-production, is present only at full aperture and only in the most contrasted scenes, but it is not anything exaggerated (not ignoble things like Canon 50 or 85 1.2). The absent coma makes it the ideal lens for astrophotography at this focal point, already from f2. sent on May 01, 2016 |
 | Samyang 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC Aspherical Pros: Risolvenza even at the edges, low contrast, is almost no chromatic aberrations. Cons: Distortion, greenish color. Opinion: Perhaps one of the most solving goals in his field already at full aperture. The only defects found are not surprisingly solved with a minimum of post-production. This is a particular focus that put a bit 'in crisis my way of photographing, but that is allowing me to learn a lot. Its quality (risolvenza) huge allows large cutouts in Camera Lucida. I use a lens for Canon, with extension on Sony A7RII.rnLo recommend it to anyone, even considering the price. sent on May 01, 2016 |
 | Sony A7r II Pros: Sensitivity, dynamic range, stabilized sensor, video, viewfinder with real-time display and fire, easy adaptability of Canon lenses. Cons: Not suitable for sporting pictures or photographic safari because of inaccurate tracking. The battery runs out quickly. Marking of focus outlines inaccurate. Opinion: I replaced my old Canon 300D with Sony. I was looking for files with ample opportunities for post-production, and found them. The files are usable and editable up to 25600 ISO. The ISO 102400 can be used almost exclusively in black and white. rnGli electronic aids in the viewfinder in addition to previewing the picture as it will be taken, allow the full manual shooting: perfect for photos reasoned. This is the real advantage of the mirrorless. It's as if the camera scattasse 30-60 photos per second, showing real-time viewfinder, and adding markings that show exposure errors. With the shutter button is as if selezionassi the desired photo. The number of my shots, his already low, fell further by the absence of scarti.rnLa focus with my Canon lens works well thanks to Metabones (I have a 17-40 F4L and a 85 f1.8 ). I purchased in addition to the Sony 70-200 f4 G and 24-70f4 Sony-Zeiss, then resold for inadequate quality in favor of a series of fixed (Sigma35 Art, Sigma 180 macro, Samyang 14, all in Canon version of Metabones) .rnLa dynamic range allows you to photograph in the most contrasting situations, and soften unwanted shadows. The pictures at night with artificial light spots, or those in full sun with sharp shadows, are the situations that avail themselves of this miraculous sensor. The ability to define in clear room ISO (ISO invariance) translates into excellent opportunities for intervention. rnL'associazione focus on sensor, stabilization and shutter semielettronico, it allows to obtain sharp images free from camera shake or microsfasamenti of focus. The thing is important, given the resolution elevata.rnNella my Italian pack had two batteries with two chargers (for the camera and wall). sent on January 10, 2016 |
