The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Fujifilm XF 90mm f/2 R LM WR Pros: Image quality, sharpness, autofocus Cons: Weight and size, price, noise when the camera is off (but given the quality of the lens I would say that they are irrelevant cons) Opinion: The Fujifilm 90 f/2 is a spectacular lens! The image quality in terms of sharpness (at any aperture and over the entire frame), blur, colors, and the fast and silent autofocus, make it an excellent lens that is always a pleasure to use (for portraits, sports, close-ups, details). The focal length is quite long and therefore demanding indoors, with the camera off you can perceive the noises produced by the focus motors, for an aps-c lens it is quite large and heavy, and it is certainly not cheap, but all these "cons" are largely overcome by the "pros"! On a whim, I checked the sharpness with a home optical aim (on Fuji X-T5): at all apertures (from f/2 to f/16) you don't perceive any difference between the center and the edges, with an impressive definition (you have to forget to compare the other lenses to this one, otherwise you will never be satisfied!). Ultimately a reference lens for those who need a bright and absolute quality telephoto lens (or even just for those who want to have a top lens, expensive but all in all accessible). sent on April 05, 2025 |
 | Viltrox AF 33mm f/1.4 Pros: Construction, brightness, price, autofocus Cons: Grafting, image quality, copy variability (see review) Opinion: Given the many positive reviews about this lens, I'm sure I received an unfortunate copy of the Viltrox 33 f/1.4; However, I leave the review to warn that you can run into a specimen that is not up to par and it is therefore good to buy from sellers who give the possibility to return the lens if it is not adequate. The construction is good: the lens turns out to be quite heavy and solid, with fluid rings (the aperture ring is declicked, not very practical); the autofocus is silent and appears sufficiently fast; the graft on Fuji X-T5 was instead very difficult, hard, and this was the first alarm bell. The disappointment was total when I found that the image quality was really painful: in the center no sharpness up to f/2.8-f/4, at the edges not even at smaller apertures. Not even remotely comparable with the Fuji 16-80 f/4 nor with the Fuji 27 f/2.8 (without bothering inappropriate comparisons with excellent lenses such as the Fuji 90), my copy was unusable at apertures lower than f/4-f/5.6, so I immediately returned it (an f/1.4 lens is bought to use it even at full aperture, otherwise you opt for less bright and more compact fixed ones). Of the numerous lenses owned, this was the only one to be totally unacceptable, probably the quality control is not the best and defective copies can happen. I replaced it with the Viltrox 35 f/1.7 Air, which is lighter and cheaper. sent on April 05, 2025 |
 | Nikon AF-S 18-140mm f/3.5-5.6G ED VR Pros: Versatility, image quality, lightness, price Cons: Lampshed not supplied Opinion: Excellent quality lens in the field of wide focal excursion zooms (and also available in kits). The only flaw is the absence of the standard lampshon (easily solved with the purchase of an economical compatible lampshed). For the rest it is an optics that allows you to photograph almost everything (landscapes, details, portraits, trips and holidays, events), characterized by reduced weight and footprint, excellent stabilizer, sharpness and image quality good for the type of lens, economical if bought in kit but also purchased new or used. In my opinion the best of the all-rounder lenses that allows you to go out with a single lens (zooms with greater focal excursion, for example 18-200/18-300, have higher weights and costs that in my opinion do not justify the extra mm). The brightness is obviously typical of this type of zoom, and it makes no sense to expect this lens to perform shorter, brighter and at a different cost. Where available, I recommend buying it in kits with the machine body. sent on July 03, 2021 |
 | Nikon D7200 Pros: Sensor, autofocus, ergonomics Cons: Live view, fixed monitor, video compartment Opinion: Huge camera, still current six years after release. Starting from the defects I confirm that, like all Nikon SLRs (excluding the D780), it has a primitive Live view compartment suitable for photos on tripods, uncomfortable in freehand use and I would say unusable for moving subjects; another limit (not necessarily a flaw) is the fixed screen. Those interested in videos should therefore turn to other brands or models. For the photographic sector it is instead an excellent camera: very performing sensor, autofocus just as (not like the D500, but still able to meet the needs of most amateur photographers), iso hold in the norm for the aps-c format (still good), excellent ergonomics, Nikon style menu in my opinion very intuitive, excellent battery life. Very versatile, it is perfect for family photography, travel reportage, landscape, sport, naturalistic, macro, and associated with good designed returns excellent images (the versatile and comfortable Nikon 18-140, the bright Sigma 17-50 f/2.8, the Nikon 16-80, the excellent Tamron, Sigma, Tokina wide-angles, the Nikon AF-P 70-300 or 70-200 f/4 canvases, the Tamron 70/210 f/4 to name but a few). After a period of support to the D750 I recently sold it for poor use, but I must admit that in most situations the D7200 is comparable to fullframe versions (at a disadvantage in the high iso seal, the crop factor benefits it in particular photographic genres). Previously I used the Nikon D3100, of which the D7200 is a remarkable evolution in everything, and for a few months the Sony A6000 sold without regrets not being at ease at all (electronic viewfinder, menu, ergonomics and kit objectivesa the greater limits I found compared to the Nikon D7200). sent on July 03, 2021 |
 | Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 45mm f/1.8 Pros: Size, yield, price Cons: nobody Opinion: It perfectly reflects the m4/3 philosophy: optical quality and sharpness in a very light and tiny lens. I don't particularly like fixed goals, but this Olympus 45 f/1.8 (like the Panasonic Lumix 20 f/1.7) is really a lens to have in place. The price (also new) is really affordable, and in return you will have a very portable optics that offers brightness, excellent optical yield, sharpness, good af speed, a pleasant blurry. I find it indicated especially for portraits but it can also say its own for landscape photography and close-up. Even those who have the excellent Pro zooms in place can find in the small Olympus 45mm a lens to put in your pocket and to use when you need brightness and compactness. sent on July 03, 2021 |
 | Nikon AF-P DX 70-300mm f/4.5-6.3G VR Pros: Surprisingly Sharp, ultra-fast autofocus, effective stabilizer, very light and compact, price Cons: Construction seemingly not very robust, lens hood not included, AF and VR can be deactivated only by menu Opinion: Purchased based on the valid online reviews and for its extreme lightness, replacing a Tamron 70-300 VC that never convinced me entirely as optical quality and weighing almost twice as much. When you handle it, the construction is very "plasticose", which certainly does not give a feeling of great robustness but at the same time makes the lens really very light and compact to be a tele 70-300. Other faults are the absence of the lens hood (to be purchased apart, with a few euros are compatible lens hoods that work great), the absence of the classic keys to activate/deactivate the AF and the VR (they are controlled by menus with fully compatible bodies), the Compatibility of these new AF-P lenses only with some newer bodies. On the Nikon D7200 (with which the compatibility is partial, that is, you can use only autofocus and Col VR always active) The lens shows a very fast autofocus, very quiet and precise, a really effective stabilizer, the optical quality really Surprising for a lens of this level: it is very sharp already at the maximum aperture, even on the higher focal lengths (indeed, my specimen makes it better at 200-300mm than at 70mm at full aperture). If You do not need extreme sturdiness this DX version has an exceptional price/quality ratio, which thanks to only 415 g of weight make it a very comfortable tele to carry. sent on March 24, 2019 |
 | Panasonic Lumix G 20mm f/1.7 II ASPH Pros: Crisp, compact, very light, very good value for money Cons: On Panasonic GX80 do not work AFF and AFC, suffering from "rattlesnake" Opinion: Objective purchased to have a greater brightness than the lens in kit, maintaining an extreme compactness. It showed remarkable sharpness qualities as well as being very small and very light (less than 100 g). I used it on Panasonic GX80, and I write this review especially to warn that with this body only the AFS mode works, and the AFF and AFC modes are deactivated. Another characteristic is the effect "rattlesnake" or the ticking that is sometimes felt during the changes of brightness, noise annoying but that does not affect the quality of the optics. In relation to the price it proves to be an excellent lens for those who want a bright lens, very sharp and with minimum dimensions. sent on March 24, 2019 |
