sigma_dn65_f2cSigma 65mm f/2 DG DN C

Pros: - Diaphragm ring, - very pleasant overall rendering

Cons: - Engine not very quiet - fire ring little rubbed. - Magnetic cap but needed ?

Opinion: Used on SL2-s The lens is aesthetically pretty, without too much writing. The diaphragm ring with 1/3 stop clicks is pleasant to use. That of the fire I would prefer more friction, the function to have the linear focus (selection from the machine body) works. I am puzzled by the magnetic cap, his does it but I find it superfluous seen in the package there is the classic cap. The focal length is not the most common, but usable. The autofocus proved to be accurate both single and continuous. The engine is not very quiet, I have had more noisy, but you can hear it moving, especially continuously (the Leica has af contrast like the Panasonic). For today's videomakers who use AF, without an external microphone, it is a sound that the machine records. The yield I must say is pleasant, modern and very sharp, which pleases fans of angles and zoom on the screen, turning off the corrections, the vignetting is in the standard and there is the classic distortion of a vintage 50ino. I was pleasantly surprised by the blurred, progressive with a bit of spherical aberration to make everything softer, especially in the presence of critical situations such as urbanized areas and with few chromatic aberrations. I must say that among the autofocus lenses that I used in the focal range between 50 and 75mm, it is optically the one I preferred. It suffers from focus breathing like all photographic optics.

leica_sl2-sLeica SL2-S

Pros: -Construction and finishing -DNG on camera -Leica M lens yield -Ease of use -indications in degrees for video

Cons: -ISO full stop manual photos -unworthy flash system -expensive

Opinion: In the cons I put that it is expensive, actually it is built and finished better, than other alternative cameras, assembled in Europe, it can justify a higher price but in my opinion the list should be 25% less (3800 € as I write). The finishing and construction is excellent, you can see from how the tires and joints between the components are arranged, the lens that enlarges the electronic viewfinder does not distort. Although it is a modern Mirrorless, with many functions, the settings for the controls are minimal compared to the Japanese and easily customizable, which is appreciated by using it already after a while, but an extra customizable bezel, but it would have been appreciated. In video mode, you can choose to have the shutter speeds in degrees, when I took it seemed like a markettata, but I must say it turns out to be comfortable. The machine is reactive, from the ignition it is active quickly but not like a digital SLR, the autofocus is not birdlife, but precise, as on the Panasonic. The yield with "problematic" M lenses on non-Leica bodies is at its best. The raw in DNG is appreciated for its compatibility. Dual SD cards, no CFexpress or exotic memory cards. I do not appreciate the manual iso adjustment to whole stops in photo mode, since there is no dedicated ring, it could be customizable in various steps, automatically vary to 1/3 stop. The original neoprene strap is comfortable, well padded, but ugly and poor, something more "premium" could be chosen. The manual is not inserted but must be requested separately (it arrives free on request, in the chosen language but is not in the package). The Leica flash system, for those who need or like all the help in TTL is simply unworthy (then exaggeratedly overpriced).

zeiss_loxia25_f2-4Zeiss Loxia 25mm f/2.4

Pros: High-level optical rendering, not anonymous. Diaphragm ring with declick function.

Cons: Wanting to make a hybrid video photos make it uncomfortable and senseless.

Opinion: The lens to date has the best performance for a lens in that range of focals (24mm-28mm) for the Sony system. But it's only a f/2.4 lens and not cheap. Better because it is not only sharp but pleasantly uniform and with optical aberrations present but very limited, very little distortion, excellent flare resistance, has a very "clear" yield The focus breathing is present, but at levels acceptable for a wide angle, considering the range of fire. Its "clarity" at any opening makes it work very well with focus peaking, both in the room and on external devices, the indications on the barrel are precise, "hard stop" to infinity coincides with infinity. Now let's come to the many common flaws with the series. starting from the question "Is it a lens for video or photo?" Hybrid but in this hybrid you can denote the errors of Zeiss. Diaphragm with choice of 1/3 stop or unique fluid clicks a value of this hybridization. Photo-sized barrel with therefore the possibility of using focus pull only with additional rings, and the Zeiss, however cool, costs too much, had to be honored regardless, in my opinion, moreover the cameras do not have the positive attack of the cameras and to turn the lens in the nozzle there is to become rubber and swear, because any part of the barrel on which a human can put his fingers, rotate ! A fixed grip point is expected in a photography lens. The cool blue garnish is as useful as a laundry condom, maybe it isolates a little bit from the damp, but it makes the graft on a camera harder, no camera you will use it directly under the downpor, the Sony included. The fire ring has a very short run, good for photography, bad for videos even in super 35. Diameter 52mm filters which is great for photo filters, cost less but if one wanted to mount an additional anamorphic, the diameter 52 is small and those with screw pitch are uncomfortable in my opinion you could use the bayonet of the light screen to make a smart accessory.

zeiss_batis25Zeiss Batis 25mm f/2

Pros: Uniformity to all diaphragms, lightness, silent AF, little focus breathing

Cons: Design, uncomfortable fire dial, 24mm real

Opinion: Used on A7r2, I'm not a fan of the 24mm preferring the 28mm (the difference in my eyes is a lot) but on the Sony And system the only alternative is the native 28mm if you don't want huge lenses. The real focal point is 24mm to infinity. The best value is the uniformity of the lens removed the vignette, already at full opening the drop in detail at the edges is really very small and closing it basically resets and allows flexibility even in cutting the image. The lens is light and silent. I don't like the design of the lens, it loses in functionality, making it cylindrical instead of tulip would have made it thinner by adopting slightly smaller filters. The focus dial in manual is not direct is small and uncomfortable on a tactile level, especially if you also use it for video. Focus breathing is present, but reduced especially among the functional focal points.

sony_a7r_iiSony A7r II

Pros: Focus peaking effective, extraordinary sensor at the edges. The app., good video stream.

Cons: Snap Button on grip, unusable Italian language.

Opinion: Abnormal User, I do not use autofocus optics, I make a few poses in an output. I had an A7 first series beyond the sensor fills up so many functional little things. The menu is similar as a structure, very full of functions. There are also strange functions, except in Italian where the abbreviations seem to come from Aramaic or Goto. I Do not like the shutter button on the grip, in my opinion although it has grown L, grip, have the button there, instead of the back makes the grip worse. I Still do not love the center viewfinder but now the eyepiece is more comfortable for those who have lenses to view. Of the sensor has been said all in good, I noticed that on my favorite lenses (the 28 with non-retrofocus schemes). For Videos I was surprised always remains a camera that makes video, then uncomfortable and with its limitations, but the great resolution allows the crop in super35 with no compromises on the resolution peaking does its duty even without external monitors, the zebra is improved and There are a few settings for the look and grading. Appreciable the charge from USB (sin is a micro) even while shooting, which does not excel the durability of batteries.

voigtander_40_f1-4Voigtlander VM Nokton 40mm f/1.4 SC

Pros: Ready blur, open shadows, compactness.

Cons: Vignette pronounced, construction not free from serious faults, front and back focus at various aperture ranges on the rangefinder.

Opinion: Small, compact and light. The blur is legible, the contrast is there but the shadows are not very closed. The blur is particular, but progressive and readable in the shadows. Good in backlight even though only single coating.rn Vignetting is strong to the most open diaphragms, closing down a lot but a hair will always be followed by it. RnResa unique and for many, other lenses so find it fatigued.rn the only real flaw Is in the construction, which by so many problems (solvable in the house but scoch) the helix has the lubricant that with time tends to dry out, making the toughest and sizzling focus, were 20 years, not a few years. The diaphragm ring is held by a bronze ring that can be pressed out of the seat by pressure (often happens). It opens and comes back, but just puts it under construction, the truncated lenses and the pupil tend to shake. Another known defect is that the rangefinder has front or back focus in a non-regular way.

sigma_19dnSigma 19mm f/2.8 DN

Pros: Economic. Light. clear optical performance and good contrast.

Cons: Poor resistance to flare. Smooth ring of fire, unintuitive. A mixture of classic and modern performance.

Opinion: I use it on sony a6000. And 'economic well-it built, but remains plastic with metal shell. The autofocus on the Sony is fine, with the limit in pursuit afc with points only on the central stage. It is an equivalent 28mm. In general you will find just the rendering of a classic 28mm to 7-8 items. Vignetting not excessive but visible and less sharp edges up to f5 / 6 - f8, the center already clear at f2.8. There are aberrations, magenta at the edges, particularly in high-contrast areas and in front of the plane of focus. Stopping down everything improves. Resistance to flare, is poor, type of lens hood as supplied (round) helps as little would help, place the screen for reflections on the exit pupil. A good lens, honest as usual Sigma, with outstanding performance, without being special, a bit 'like miniwide series of the last century.

sony_fe28_f2Sony FE 28mm f/2

Pros: Sharpness and contrast, yield neutral

Cons: The axial aberrazzioni green are also visible closing a po'.rn

Opinion: The use of APSC (a6000) .rnParagonandolo 35 1.8 sony apscrnLa made in detail is already good even at room temperature (35 1.8 Sony's first stop is visibly softer) and is slightly higher to the point of distortion without diffrazionernLa correction of equipment there and you see it on a reduced size is accettabile.rnCome colors compared to 35 sony is more neutral, the reds are less loads) .rnLe sizes are good, although it is a lens for full frame, it has about the same size as 35 1.8 Sony weighing a bit of più.rnLe aberrations are not excessive and to remove, even if those behind the axial plane of focus (green / cyan) tend to remain more closing diaframma.rnLo blurred depends on scene and taste, say is evidenced by the above aberrations. rnCome cost is equal to 1.8 Sony 35mm, making it an alternative to valutare.rn

Pros: Sharpness, Blurry pleasant, fast autofocus well supported, Price

Cons: Uncomfortable the manual focus, ring slippery.

Opinion: Trio sigma dn to, the better riuscita.rnNitidissima the center, good to bordi.rnIn manual pays the price of design, focheggiatura uncomfortable because slippery, compensation of a6000 has a handsome and af rapido.rnOttima and uniform between f4 and focal f6rnLa is a bit 'strange, on APSC more suited to portrait and ambientato.rnConsigliata.
