![]() | Nikon Coolpix AW130 Pros: Purchased as a replacement for the Coolpix AW100... compared to this one has an optics with a more versatile focal length, covering the focal of 24 mm. equivalent, and then it's much more ergonomic since the AW100 is too "round" to be well-wielding. The AW130 is an easy and sufficient-use camera... robust enough for several disadvantaged situations... remembering that it is wrong to want to compare the image quality and the shooting benefits offered by reflexes and or certain bridges. Being "armored" has a few more gram than a normal compact but is forgiven for the size, which remains small, allow it to be placed in spaces where other compacts would not stand... also because of the lens that remains fixed... outward motions when the camera is operating. Cons: With little light available it's not the best... Remembering, however, that this is also the problem of many compacts: a tiny tripod and its self-timer can come to the aid in several cases. It only has the "Automatic" function, but... impractical a little with the use of the various modes that can be selected in the "Scenes" function... something decent you can take home equally in most situations encountered while using. Being used to the use of reflexes... I find the shutter button a bit "hard" in operation... but it's probably like that to avoid accidental shots given the category to which the camera belongs. Opinion: I do not practice extreme sports and I am not a frequenter of places with harsh or hostile climates but a photocamerina so is also good for simple walks and or pedaling in the countryside... If, of course, you accept its limitations... which are often not in the camera but in the head of the user. It's been so many years since... As a kid... I started photographing with "things", which were also cameras, and sometimes I think that if I had a camera like the AW130 then I would probably have felt like... on top of the world... For me it is the alternative to my beloved reflexes that will be yes... high-performing... but heavy and bulky... when I want to be "light." Sometimes I take pictures of little girls... that if you see yourself attracted to the AW130... (holding it by the shoulder strap) you can also give it between your hands... Sometimes it's happening... or to photograph dogs that may not disdain to give her a nice "lick" if you get a little closer than usual... but then a couple of sheets of damp multipurpose absorbent paper are enough to make it return "as new"... being a small diver, dust-proof and pure shock." sent on August 30, 2019 |
![]() | Nikon AF-I 300mm f/2.8 ED-IF Pros: An excellent yield even at full aperture and also with the use of multipliers. Cons: It becomes heavy in long shifts if held in hand or on the shoulder but it is a 300 f 2.8 and it is not that you have to expect better... At the bottom is a perspective designed for professionalism... That is, to work on it and try to bring home "the best"... And not to take a walk so much as to make yourself think... Most important... Opinion: I have this perspective since the beginning of its production... Which occurred between 1992 and 1996: About 6250 specimens. At the time... Before the advent of the digital system... I used it on the Nikon F 4 and then on the F 5 and F 6. It was bought to replace the AF 300 F 2.8 D IF and that although it is a little ' antiqued optics... It is still very valid... Especially for those who can not or do not want to spend too much and even resort to material from other manufacturers... That will be valid as well but... Buy a professional Nikon and equip it then with optics from other brands... To me it sounds like buying a Ferrari... And then make a gas supply to LPG or methane. This AF-I versus the predecessor AF gains a tad in speed and accuracy, in autofocus mode, and is also more detailed when used at larger apertures. It also works well with the Nikon TC 1.4 and TC 1.7 While I don't add anything to the TC 20 model as I never own it. At the beginning of the years 2000 I bought an AF-S 300 f 2.8 II but did not give up this AF-I and although in time it remained a little more often at home in favor of the newer model that is almost half a pound less... It's not being yielded... Also in remembrance of many adventures that we have lived together.: It is one of my goals that, among other things, took the last photographs to the great Ayrton Senna. Compared to newer AF-S models It's a little less balanced... But since now... With the advancing years I get tired more quickly... I use it with the monopod when I can... Nulling its added weight to that of the camera. It has a good construction... "Old" type. One problem... and also serious... That can happen and that therefore is not to be underestimated and or neglect in case you wanted to buy one used: This lens AF-I 300... and his brothers AF-I 400, 500 and 600... They have a different internal motor than the newer AF-S and it has already happened in some cases that this engine has exhaled its last breath. Unfortunately the parent company, Nikon, for many years no longer has these engines as a replacement and so if you stay "on foot"... The optics can only be used with "hand"-focing... As it was many years ago. My, after many years of "tossings", still works very well: I hope you keep it that way... In closing some notes (not critical) to those who wrote this page dedicated to the Nikon AF-I 300 f 2.8 D IF ED. The photography post at the beginning review does not show an AF-I 300 f 2.8 D IF ED but its predecessor... ie the AF 300 f 2.8 D IF and New (ie the 2nd series)... Built from 1986 to 2005 in two different series... of which the first only in the years ' 86-' 87. The focus distance in autofocus mode is selectable via a switch in 3 different modes while the minimum is 2.5 meters. The focus is via internal motor to the optics and not through the camera but, not owning them, I do not know if it also works in autofocus on the Nikon cameras "small" type the series 3000 and 5000 that compared to the older sisters are missing Some functions. Finally the Fitro... Place in the filter drawer near the lens mount on the camera.. It's not 52 mm. Diameter (as will be the ones for all new lenses AF-S series) but of 39 mm. As on its predecessors of the series AI-S and AF with which however does not share the filter drawer itself being the one for the series AF-I of slightly different form... Even if at first glance they look the same... But then much if you want to try... They don't go in there... sent on March 05, 2019 |
![]() | Nikon AF-S 28-70mm f/2.8 D ED Pros: Optics valid in all respects Cons: A little weight... but on the other hand the brightness and the build quality have a price to pay. The engine can give you problems. Opinion: I have been using this lens for many years and bought it to replace a Nikon AF-D 35-70 f 2.8 and in the end also an Angenieux af 28-70 F 2.6. Personally, in many cases, I prefer its colors to those of the AF-S 24-70 f 2.8 that I have but also because of the greater weight I carry only when I think that the focal of 28 may be short. A couple of years ago I had to make him replace the engine, (in a service center in Bologna: spending 300 euros and two years of warranty) that began to stop during the focus, and now goes even better than it had always gone previously. If found used and in good condition... recommend this optics as a very good purchase. Usually, these days, if very well put and with packing, here in the area is around 750 euros... price that falls considerably if it brings signs due to use and missing the packaging and the lens hood. Then it also depends on how much the offer... since there are long periods in which there are not for sale. Take into account that most of the optical stipulations comes from the professional world so it has not been purchased to make 10 photos per year but for intensive working... which also involves long trips in the car and therefore many gasping . sent on February 06, 2019 |
![]() | Nikon AF-S 300mm f/2.8 D IF-ED II Pros: Excellent image quality Cons: A little bit better ergonomics Opinion: Purchased in lieu of its predecessor AF 300 f 2.8... It exceeds it quite well in quality... in general... especially at full aperture. It produces very good images even with the multipliers TC 1.4 and TC 1.7... But I rarely use it. Never tried it with the TC 2.0. The autofocus is quite accurate even with light lacking... While its speed could have been a little better. I use it almost exclusively for photographing cars... vintage species type 1000 miles and Grand Prix Nuvolari helping me with the monopod, when I can, when I start to tire of its weight coupled with that of the camera... that then this model II and over half a pound less than the first series built from 1996 to 2001 and also focuses 30 cm. Before. It has the same optical structure of its successors VR and VR II that have, however, for this bought some more weight. On some occasions I replace it with the AF S 300 F 4... Which is lighter and when used with a pair of closed diaphragms has nothing to envy him. I can't write comparisons with other brands lenses because I've never owned them... excluding a Canon FD 300 f 2.8 So many years ago... but that's another story. sent on October 31, 2018 |
![]() | Nikon AF 70-210mm f/4-5.6 D Pros: A perspective that occupies little space and is built honestly for its category of belonging. It is not a professional model so we must not demand the same surrender. Cons: Nothing. Opinion: This lens I use for many years as an alternative to zoom f 2.8 when there is good light and I do not look for the fur in the egg. It is an honest perspective, better than other similar zooms of the same parent and non-original ones. Compared to the first non-D version, with which it shares the same optical pattern, it has the fastest autofocus and is also more accurate... due to this to a modified internal cammes system. In fact versions D used if they find much less than the previous d. For those who do not know the D has nothing to do with the focus as it stands for Distance and was an innovation launched with the Nikon F90 where this function was related to the use of the new Speedlight SB 25. It is ideal to be brought to the following with an AF 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5 D... another small, honest, robust and with an attractive price on the used market. If found in good condition the AF 70-210mm F/4-5.6 D is an optics that I recommend also saw the price demanded... with which it is practically impossible to bring home an honest and that can be defined as such. sent on August 17, 2018 |
