canon_efs18-135usmCanon EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM

Pros: Wide focal excursion, excellent stabilizer, relatively low weight, value for money

Cons: Light distortion in wide-angle, slightly bright from mid-focus onwards

Opinion: After the full frame transition, a young girl in the family asked me if she could use her "old" 1200D: the project to sell everything has changed to "I sell all aps-c fixed optics and look for a versatile zoom." I found it at a price that said "now or never again" and I took it on the fly. After the first shots with chandeliers, furniture, paintings, and wherever the enthusiasm was brought, I brought the new "pupil" in the middle of nature to start making some more reliable proof. Even after a few dozen freehand I really enjoyed an extremely effective stabilizer, a very quick and silent autofocus, a flare-resistance more than satisfactory, an unexpectedly good sharpness (especially a little bit of the diaphragm). There is a slight distortion at 18mm and just over, nothing since lightroom corrects it in a click. Light chromatic aberration at the ends, especially in the presence of strong contrast, even qit can be resolved in a moment. Good wide-angle brightness, which, like most "normal" zoom, decreases to 5.6 zodiac. I miss the hood (at least in my case, probably because I took it in "white box") but I solved buying one with just over one euro!

manfrotto_befreeManfrotto BeFree

Pros: Lightweight, compact, constructive quality, reversible central column, interchangeable head

Cons: Lack of ballast hook, poorly stable with heavy equipment,

Opinion: I was looking for something lighter and more compact than my old Hama Gamma74, which for many years has supported a camera and camera that always measures 60 cm. The BeFree was the right choice, lighter and more stable even though with the 70-200 for good stability, the central column should be lowered. Had the ballast hook been useful, but the central column would no longer be reversible. The opening of the legs is adjustable in two positions, both meeting every need.

samyang_14Samyang 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC Aspherical

Pros: Shallow depth of field, sharpness, color, price,

Cons: Quality check

Opinion: I received a specimen with a clear focus problem in the right part of the frame and replaced it immediately. What I use now is completely free from the most known defects, which in my opinion are due to poor quality control of the house. The distance scale is sufficiently precise and the focus ring has a fairly wide range (almost a full turn). The diaphragm ring, much thinner, is not likely to be accidentally moved. After a few weeks of shots, I can notice an excellent sharpness and depth of field that I would call IMMENSA even with unshrouded diaphragms. The hyperfocal is in the reach of everyone, for almost all the shots you just place the focus after the 3 meters and the game is done, the differences from here to the infinite position only affect what is really close to the lens. As with all the wide wings pushed, non-central straight lines undergo a distortion, soluble with a click if you clicka in raw and with a bit more work if you jump in jpg. Shots, especially when it comes to open spaces, give a feeling of amplitude, breath, and movement. I like the color rendering and I almost have the impression that with this lens the shadow recovery possibilities have doubled (but I think it's just my impression). It's completely manual and there is no communication between the lens and the camera it does not involve big problems, at least for landscaping photography (it is certainly not the perfect lens to capture the moment), indeed it is a stimulus (or if you want to oblige you) to understand exposure, times and apertures: unlike what you get with The "normal" lenses can not rely on the exposure meter or the live view: when shooting the camera, the camera "f / 0" is actuated and behaves accordingly. With practice I noticed that you get a correct exposure when the meter shows about+1 stop.rnThere was no experience with this "toy" I was able to photograph with great satisfaction both landscapes in the sunshine and the classic milky way on summer nights.

canon_6dCanon 6D

Pros: Resistance to high iso, good dynamic range, GPS, functions, very advantageous prices, better than many cameras "modern"

Cons: For the '' age 'that, no.

Opinion: I got it used, as I had planned for some time (the limits of my first reflex did not allow me to always get what I wanted), and after a few months I can say I tried in all uses that servono.rnPer me the landscape I find it really good, actually even the photos taken directly against the sun are very good with a minimum of post production. With good lens sharpness it is formidable, even with very small apertures. The best results are obtained from raw, but failing jpg time are still good (shot mostly raw + jpg). I also found good dynamic range, I can recover shadows that I believed flat and sunk sempre.rnPer for night photography or in low light situations is a wonder that I had never felt before, the noise at high ISO is really reduced and also to 12800 is well recovered even though, of course, they are affected sharpness and detail. A values ??so extreme prefer jpg already "cleaned up" in the room rather than the raw, unless you want to get qualcosa different from what it is framed. Gusti personali.rnPer sports photography, although it is not his vocation, I got unexpected results. But we must use only the central point of MF, or block with the MF button, because the sides are not fast enough for fast-moving subjects. For photos that I was still turned out good (one of them is out of just two-page spreads Moto Sprint). In these cases only in jpg snap because I prefer to have everything ready and subito.rnPer regarding portraiture can not say much: I did very few tests, some beautiful other really bad, but only for lack of competenza.rnQueste my impressions, all the the rest is known to all, and I join the chorus of those who still prefers this "old" but still very good camera.

canon_24-70_f4isCanon EF 24-70mm f/4 L IS USM

Pros: Sharpness, stabilizer, autofocus, built

Cons: Not entirely immune from the flare, large diameter

Opinion: I use it for three months and now I can speak my mind on this lens. I had planned to buy no earlier than next year, but finding it at a great price, and taking advantage of the cashback I jumped at the opportunity. I reaffirm the solid construction, very high sharpness, autofocus speed and very effective stabilizer. The blur is pleasant but not amazing (nothing new for an f / 4), the bokeh is sometimes very unique and looks more like a soap bubble rather than a point of light, and with a bright perimeter edge and the rest semi transparent, sometimes rest mesmerized staring at those circles ... the color rendering I really like, I find it quite loyal and pleasing. rnNon are still able to obtain chromatic aberrations, and not be taken for granted the absence of flare: you have to be going against the light to find it but with a little care and some degree of displacement results in a moment. Distorts a little 'to the minimum and maximum focal opening shots but I never noticed merealize only by applying the correction in Lightroom .... I find it convenient attachment of the hood remains firmly locked in place, a bit 'less useful the barrel lock to the fully retracted position: serves to prevent accidental elongation during transport , but so far I have never successfully leaving deliberately unlocked. Finally, the macro mode: can occasionally come in handy, however, provides good magnification but it is not his job, the true macro lenses are very meglio.rn

canon_70-200_f4isCanon EF 70-200mm f/4 L IS USM

Pros: Construction, constant f / 4, sharpness, stabilizer, autofocus

Cons: Lack of tripod ring, bulky lens hood

Opinion: Finally my first L series lens, I have not tried it yet in every condition but with about 200 shots (motorbike) some things I immediately noticed especially comparing it with the 55-250 STM that has stopped (which again costs a quarter of the 70-200 used). I will not dwell on solidity and tropicalization, it is an L series and there is no need to add anything else.rnrnIn practical tests I immediately found it very clear both at the center and at the extremes at all focal distances. At full aperture is excellent, closing up to 7.1 improved a bit 'and to my surprise it is very clear even at f / 13 (over I have not yet tried) .rnAction chromatic, vignetting and distortion absent. It must be said that I use it on a 1200D (aps-c) so the sensor only sees the center of the light cone, that is, the typically best part of each lens. Let's say that I put racing tires on a panda ... rnAutofocus precise, reactive like a modern STM but in my opinion even faster and more precise (absence of focus). rnrn -------------- rnUpdate: for a year I use it on FF, I can only confirm the qualities of this fantastic lens, even when the use with attached the extender (Canon 1.4x II) remains excellent.rnStabilizer very effective, I consider very likely the 4 stops declared. Surely the technology is different from the current one, comes into operation with a slight delay and stops a couple of seconds after releasing the shutter (while the latest stabilizers work virtually on / off instantly without almost hearing the noise), however his work does him very well. rnThis lens is a project of 10 years ago, I had no doubts about the quality of construction and optics but I did not expect miracles from autofocus and stabilizer, instead hold up the comparison with the most modern technologies.rnrnThe lens is not heavy or bulky , but the final diameter of the hood is quite large so it can be cumbersome to store but at the same time guarantees stability when you support the photocamere "face down" .rn

nikon_coolpix_l27Nikon Coolpix L27

Pros: Light, cheap, large display, full HD video good

Cons: Insufficient flash, too much grain

Opinion: And 'extremely light and compact, but has a large, bright display that can be seen quite well in the sun. The flash, as on most of these cameras have a really very limited, so white faces of funds completely neri.rnL'ho taken nearly three years ago for my daughter, thinking about making a qualitative leap in the "machinery" compact family spending a figure really modesta.rnNel Overall I was wrong: despite the many functions more or less innovative (face detection, smile shutter with, etc.) if left automatically it produces a grain often very annoying, visible in the midtones, because almost always it uses its ISO 1600 to prevent blur. Furthermore the contrast is low, also the saturation, sharpness does not exist. The 16 megapixel need any more to sell that to fotografare.rnSi still managed to pull off something acceptable, just to have a well-lit scene, to limit as much as possible the automatic and saw that also improves by reducing the size of the files (fewer pixels), otherwise the quality of the shots is less than my old compact of 10 years ago (Canon PowerShot A610) I keep ancora.rnSi performs very well instead shooting video, the lighting is good as well as saturation, contrast, and Balance bianco.rnFunziona with two AA batteries, so you can use rechargeable without weighing everything and particularly without having forgotten in a drawer when the batteries reach the end of life.

canon_powershot_a610Canon PowerShot A610

Pros: Swiveling display, AA batteries (= rechargeable batteries), photo quality

Cons: Built-in flash, 4 x style (= additional weight), very small viewfinder

Opinion: I have this camera 10 years ago, I bought it practically on his debut. Still occasionally it is still used, even by the kids when they go on a trip, and still survives too! RnIl swiveling display, a "plus" almost unique in those days, is extremely useful on a compact where the viewfinder (optical loop) from what is small, it is almost unusable. It has a good luiminosità and if invested by the full sun it becomes difficult to evaluate the shot. RNLA machine uses 4 AA batteries, which means you can use rechargeable batteries as well as batteries that weigh more than the car (it remains very light compared to an SLR). The flash does not do much, it performs well only when used as fill but in case of low light is insufficient as for all compact. rnSono few, as a percentage, the shots "are bad", and with hindsight I can say for sure that is always the fault of the photographer. Leaving choose the shooting parameters to the car, questa prefers apertures (from 7 and up) and high ISO (up to 800) also with strong illuminazione.rnrnVolendo go further, with the ring girevola you can still set all mode desirable: M-TV-AV-P-Auto and various automatic settings for sports, macro, landscape, etc. I used to tens of thousands of photos. Of course, there functions of face detection and smile shutter, etc. that came out many years later (and that sevono more to sell than to shoot) .rnQuando I began to experience the "proibilta area" of the ring, the one with only letters (P excluded) I opened up a world that did not understand before (well, I had never tried to understand). And I knew it was time to take a camera! RnrnAvendo had several other compact hand, I must say that nowadays, to have one with the quality of this old PowerShot, you have to pull out at least 300 Euros.

canon_efs_55-250stmCanon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM

Pros: Light, fast and quiet AF motor, cheap, good sharpness

Cons: A bit 'of aberration and decrease sharpness only when fully extended, but more than acceptable

Opinion: Designed specifically for APS-C, has a maximum focal length equivalent to 400mm on full frame (hence fairly extensive) .rnL'ho taken to replace the previous model 55-250 IS II (already in relation to the price was not bad and that gave me a lot of satisfaction), application version with its different technology is a big step forward: the engine receives a dowry STM that also proves this point for quiet, smooth and fast; the difference is very evident above all in "AI SERVO". It has the internal focus, which then allows you to mount a polarizer without having to adjust each shot, also in autofocus mode, you can manually intervene to "adjust the aim" .rnLo stabilizer works very well, even at full every flicker in Freehand is visibly compensated, looking through the viewfinder it is much more noticeable than the previous model. Automatically detects both horizontal and vertical panning, without shutting automatically ifnce resort all'intervendo manuale.rnLa sharpness is very good, we are not at the levels of other prime lenses I own (eg. the 60mm macro) but costs half ... rnIl comparison with the previous model I did taking the same subjects, with the same parameters and as far as possible in the same conditions of illumination: progressively increasing the extension is known which appears a little 'of chromatic aberration and a legggero decrease of sharpness only in the vicinity of 250mm (visible, however, only with larger image 1: 1), while the former was already beginning to 200. The remains blurred gradevole.rnAnche this has an element UD and super spectra coating. I have not encountered any vignetting, probably because I loaded the camera profile and work with the lens peripheral illumination correction always active. The colors seem more loyal than the SI II (which in certain situations desaturava forcing them to open photoshop) .rnIl weight remains very low (theexternal structure and the bayonet are not metal) as well as the size, as they gain accuracy is the adjusting nut of the extension that the plug for the camera, both less "soft" the model it replaces.

canon_efs_60macroCanon EF-S 60mm f/2.8 Macro USM

Pros: Exciting sharpness even at TA, lightweight, compact, inexpensive, 1: 1 magnification, great not only for macro

Cons: You can not use it on the 6D ...

Opinion: I always liked to photograph "invisible" details, but shooting with the canvas was just a replay so I bought this lens, suitable for the APS-C format of my reflex, which with its 60mm is almost 100 on the full frame. It's lightweight and compact, so it does not have bullet problems or even handshaking. The construction looks solid and the graft is firm and stable. The focal length makes it suitable also for generic and portraiture photography, where sharpness is always extraordinary. It's an optic that I expected was very clear even at the maximum aperture (and probably was designed for that), too the smaller details are always clear. I have never tried a sharper lens than this on APS-C, with this sensor I think is even superior to 24/70 L and 70/200 L.rnThe color rendering is faithful, never too poor and never too saturated, the contrasts enhance the subject especially in close-up photos with backgrounds particulously blurred. The brightness is always excellent even at the edges of the frame, I have not noticed chromatic abrasions, the flare is only obtained andand look for it. RnrnThe AF engine is silent and fast, using it automatically is accurate even with little light. The focus is "internal" so there is no rotation or extension of the front lens. For this reason, both filters and flash dedicated to macro photography can be mounted simultaneously. If you are using Auto Focus, it is still possible to correct it by rotating the ring (well dimensioned, precise, and sensitive) to achieve the desired shutter speed. The manual MF also works with the camera off. There is no stabilizer but it is not a problem, for macros the tripod is used, while for the freehand photos just open the diaphragm. RnrnQuest'ottica is on the market since 2005 and is still in production: if after all these years the reviews are all positive means it is theProve that this is a really good product.

canon_efs24stmCanon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM

Pros: Small and light, focusing distance, instant AF, bright, crisp ... and inexpensive.

Cons: Manual focus is possible only when the camera is on

Opinion: It's my first focused focal target. Accustomed so far to zoom and "kit kit", I was impressed by MF speed and sharpness. It's solid, it has metal attachment, it is very sharp even at the maximum opening. Just closing the diaphragm over f / 16 you notice a few drops, but only magnifying at 1: 1. It's extremely light and small so ultra-portable, it's in any compartment or pocket of your backpack. The focus is very fast and silent (total two or three millimeters), the STM engine works well, the only downside (if you can call it) is that the focus ring works only when the camera is on (not c 'is mechanical contact between this and the lenses). The minimum distance from the focal plane is particularly short so you can also get very close shots. At full aperture a blur is fairly pleasing, while closing af / 8 and beyond the depth of field is particularly estesa.rnIs advice without reservation.
