Fujifilm X-T50

Pros: Small, light, incredible image quality, 7-stop stabilizer, construction and materials.

Cons: No weather sealing, unbalanced with lenses heavier than 400grams

Opinion: Bought used about 2 months ago at 850, I came from Fujifilm x-e4, compact and well built camera body, flagship performance. I use it with 3 fixed, Fujinon 14mm f2.8, Fujinon 23mm f1.4 LM WR, Zeiss touit 50mm f2.8 macro. All three lenses solve 40mpx and in 1.3 kg and a small bag you have a layette of excellent quality, you have to see it to believe it. Basically I have the classic triad 21-35-75mm on 35mm plus the ability to do macro. Sometimes I feel the need for tropicalization and a telephoto zoom, but the weight and size of the body do not allow it, or rather it would all be too unbalanced. For the rest everything at the top

Zeiss Touit 50mm f/2.8 Macro

Pros: Pretty much apo, extremely sharp on Fuji 40mpx, light.

Cons: Autofocus without slow limiter

Opinion: I was undecided about which 50mm to take for my Fuji xt50, I chose this one because I found a great used offer. The lens is lightweight and well-built, all covered in rubber. Optically it is superb on 40mpx even at 2.8 at medium and long distances. It's pretty much apochromat, I haven't seen any aberrations or purple fringing, the colors are beautiful. The bokeh is almost always smooth, in some situations it can become nervous especially at medium distance. The autofocus is described by almost everyone as slow because there is no focus limiter, on Fuji this parameter is settable, in practice you can choose between two presets or adjust it manually, after having waited for the focus limiter, even the AF is fast and silent. I gave it a grade of 10

Viltrox AF 85mm f/1.8 II

Pros: Crystal clear

Cons: Nice chunky but not heavy.

Opinion: Won at an auction for 160€, I wasn't sure if I had made a good purchase, as soon as I arrived I took a few TA shots and various apertures, I was stunned, excellent optical quality, excellent build quality. Curious, I made a small comparison with the Fujinon 16-55 2.8, you won't believe it, but the Viltrox is much sharper, already at f1.8 it manages to solve the lowercase letters on the bottles where several lenses, even excellent ones, fail. At f2.8 it's already monstrous. On the Fujifilm X-H1 it doesn't have the AF performance of the professional zoom, but it's not bad. In some photos I noticed some purple bangs on metals. For the rest, given the price, I would say vote 11

Canon 30D

Pros: Construction, beautiful color profiles, great jpg, cost, everything.

Cons: Heavy

Opinion: Purchased for 140 € with bg, Tokina atx pro 28-80 f2.8 and 11-16 2.8, what to say excellent machine, the profile color faithful image I like very much, excellent construction, good af, excellent light meter, certainly at 1000 iso loses a lot but jpg have something that I do not find in other machines. The display is also not bad, I also have a d200 and it is much better than the Canon 30d. In conclusion you buy at the cost of a pizza and take beautiful photos

Leica T (Typ 701)

Pros: Small and built great, image quality, price

Cons: Lack of keys, af not a splinter,overexpose a stop

Opinion: Bought at 350€ with a year's warranty in excellent condition, I come from an olympus PEN F, I combined it with a sigma 56 1.4 and an elmarit r 35 2.8. Machine really built in an excellent way, very high image quality, excellent file colors already beautiful and ready, a little soft compared to olympus but settable. Af slow with little light, with af touch much better. I had read some reviews where they talked about slow startup and lack of android apps, with firmware 1.9 the machine is ready to shoot as soon as it is turned on and there is the apk for android. The only flaw is the fact that it tends to overexpopose with car iso. Today with the sigma objectives and the price of the used I recommend it to those who want a different machine, excellent files, construction from before class. I don't recommend it to those who need a performance

Fujifilm X-T10

Pros: Construction, viewfinder, high iso estate, color, price

Cons: A grip pelino more was needed.

Opinion: Jewel, little attention to detail, high quality jpg. I had two other mirrorless, Sony a7 and olympus omd em1, both presented a problem for me, I shoot almost eslusivamente evening, annoying, the famous blob, rockets on the cold lights, LED street lamps, headlights etc. etc. Finally a mirrorless not It has the problem. The speed of f and reboot is similar to the first a7, the Olympus is clearly faster. Held at high iso by reference between aps, I also had pentax k5, Nikon D610, Canon 6d, the little to none amongst aps and survives even to a7 (first generation). For the price straconsigliata

Olympus OM-D E-M1

Pros: Small.

Cons: Serious problems of light points, the limit dell'inutilizzabile, bokeh artifact in software, greenish tint in some situations.

Opinion: The worst camera I've ever owned, attracted by the reviews more exciting that I purchased what on paper and the reviews had to be a gem, after a day of excitement the first great disappointment. Points of light are created ghost flare embarrassing flaw common to sony a7, then after a few shots, I noticed something unknown to me if not in smartphones with the app blurred background, the bokehrn especially if you shoot at the minimum focusing distance is a fire digital artifact is not from the lens that is used, a very bad thing, I add also a strange greenish tint which manifests itself in a few clicks, one of the biggest disappointments cameras. Too expensive for what offers, battery ridiculous, added to other difettacci do not do anything but sconsigliarla, much better than a Nikon D3200.
