![]() | Olympus M.Zuiko ED 40-150mm f/2.8 Pro Pros: 300 to 2.8, no one like him Cons: anything Opinion: Switching from the FF to the M 43 is a bit traumatic, because you think that nothing is better than the FF SLR, but then look and try the mirrorless world and find this gem that has the incredible ..., no objective starts from 80 to get at 300 remaining at 2.8, none weighing less than 1.5 kg, but it also amazes the optical quality of the final image to which you can easily add the 1.4x, bringing the mm to 420, professional stuff. Only one big car was missing, but it arrived in 2018 .., the Panasonic G9. I consider this view and the machine a winning combination, both in sport and in nature, but also excellent for everything that can be considered digital photography. And it costs less than half the FF, weighs 13 and has a reduced volume of half ..., it is anti-dust and water being tropicalized, in short, this optic is professional at all levels even in the price ... Try it to believe it. sent on February 14, 2018 |
![]() | Panasonic G9 Pros: Autofocus like canon and nikon, professional real-finger controls at your fingertips, upper display to avoid the use of the monitor, monitor that can be oriented in all directions and resealable to protect it. alloy body, but featherweight, battery with the same size as the canon 7d or 5d with greater consumption, very good files in the micro context 43 Cons: But it is really impossible to think of such a valid device with already integrated the battery pack ???. The G9 does not have a panasonic software and offers a program in English that is better to forget, really bad considering the great technological result of the G9. I found a defect ...: If you use the cable for remote shooting ...., ouch, ouch, the video part and not the photos in sequence, I tried in the store and so on all the machines. Alert panasonic, so they can intervene ... Opinion: Who ordered it by December 23, pecked the free battery pack for free. Trusting the review I saw and heard, I ordered it and January 18, had already arrived. It took me a little to understand how to use it because it seemed to have a professional canon or nikon, with commands at your fingertips and superior diplay with the essential indications that we know there are on other machines. Excellent management of the menu that you can then bring back to the keys as you like and depending on how you use it. After a few shots around, I tested it in the sports field (rugby) and I realized I bought what I was looking for, a lightweight car but with prof performance, in fact the autofocus of this G9 is to be compared to the best system canon , precise to hook the subject without then losing it on the street. Fantastic also the burst that can reach 20 ftgsec with a very low error rate. In the context of the micro 43, there is a choice of very wide optics of excellent workmanship with also leica or olympus schemes that, together with the panasonic, offervery wide choice. Of the file, I can only say that it does not seem better than the flagship olympus, but this machine still has room for improvement. The electronic viewfinder returns an almost reflex vision for image quality. The menu is very rich, but has no absurd things and allows you to create settings of all types and tastes, which can then be returned to external keys that make the machine easy to use. excellent eyepiece that covers the eye in the sun. To buy it costs 1700 euros, much less than the OMD 1 MK II olympus which costs 2000 euros. sent on January 24, 2018 |
![]() | Canon 5D Mark III Pros: a D1X pocket and tropical conditions, fullframe, dual memory card, 22mp. magnesium alloy body. Cons: missing touchscreen, WIFI and GPS Opinion: Between the version II and III this is an immense abyss .... yet the 5DMKII had a wonderful file, but the series III goes beyond ... files even bigger and detailed, autofocus as the flagship D1X and double sensors cross, dual card (that is cf sd). With 5dmk III we can hazard shots around 2500 asa, before seeing falling quality. Perfect for weddings and internal luceambiente. Versatile in the case of photos on the fly, but if you mount a tele, does debacles .... needless to say .... CANON knows how to lull his top gun in the photograph. And now comes the version 50mp without filter .... I bet ......... will scream. sent on March 07, 2015 |
![]() | Olympus OM-D E-M10 Pros: lightness, compactness, ability to use optical leica, lumix and zuiko. great price compared to other mirrorless interchangeable category. Good result is that jpg ras (orf), three-axis stabilizer inside the sensor. Cons: Excessive consumption of batteries (which do not last long and you have to have at least a couple of spare), the machine's menus too rich and not easy to manage, software included useless and too cumbersome. Missing in the box the instruction booklet that is available only on the Internet. Opinion: I took it in exchange for the 7d which is now outdated?., Before I tried to buy the flagship EM1 for 7 days and it hit me like when you fall in love (strong heart sank). and 'amazing what he could do OLYMPUS ??., have reduced everything? weight sensor, costs and volumes? but have doubled the optical quality with amazing (I mounted the 45mmf1,8) and if you use leica lumix or The results are ensured even in high iso. I always carry around waiting for the new lenses that Olympus put on the market. In a small backpack you find everything you need x enables the photographer, but without feeling the weight. I'm sorely tempted to sell you the whole kit canon (including my 400mmf2,8) x buy a complete kit olympus that I would make available a 500mm f2.8 lenses (I speak of 90-250 in 43 which is a 180-500 f2 , 8 in fullframe) or the future 40-150f2,8 that becomes a 80-300 f2.8 in ff (no house has a zoom lens that reaches 300mm f2.8 to prejudice). If the om10 gives them satisfaction, let alone the flagship EM1 that withprofessional optics shoot even in the rain. You want evidence ??? I am a fan of photographs in digiscoping and if you go on the website and type in the username DIGISCOPINGITALIA.IT SAVINIMAGES, you will discover the extraordinary results I get by combining the m10 or a spotting scope? .. sent on August 11, 2014 |
![]() | Olympus OM-D E-M1 Pros: everything in half ...., weight, size, sensor (compared to ff), price, optical system with 43 become amazing (there is a 500mm 2.8 has no manufacturer). Ability to use a smartphone (app Olympus) as a remote control and set the machine vision dell'immaggine x. Cons: noise at low ISO (1600 and up). Machine weight with unbalanced optical pro, too many menus that take time to learn how to handle them x ex last the battery lasts a very short time that it is better to have a spare pair (the fault of the fully electronic system that continuously consumes the energy of the small battery). From a little annoyed by the delay of the image through the viewfinder electronic processes that vision real. Opinion: Proven x one week, I immediately put back to the wall ...., time low and iso low at night and interior and then not happy, lho mantata on a telescope at the moon x photo and fauna in precarious conditions of light . You will be surprised how much quality has this flagship of the Olympus, a fast and precise autofocus, impressive speed of the sequence in continuous shooting (10 FTSEC.) That without the mirror, and with a little shake-are effective, excellent stabilizer built on the sensor, well the jpg file is that raw (orf olympus x) with bright and vivid colors and contrasts as well balanced in terms of light and shadow. The position of the sensor almost flush with the bayonet, produces an increase in brightness such that photos taken in dark areas, very readable in detail and in need of a few iso. The only drawback ..., even in the presence of noise ... are already at low asa you notice about magnification of 100%, but we are talking about a sensor that is half of the full-frame and then the car is unbalanced with optical pro (I tried it with the 12-40 f2.8). Detto this, the EM1 Serbian omd the icing with long lenses, where a 300 mm f2.8, it becomes a fantastic 600 f 2.8 (who has a similar focus??) that could become a duplicator with 1200mm f5, 6. ... but weighs only 4.5 kg total (basically use it freehand). If you're not one of those who make prints from walls (then use the canon or nikon), then this is a good alternative because of its price, there is also much that is almost half of the proffessional also in weight. Replace everything with olympus maybe it is not the case, but it close with a normal SLR kit, it might be in many cases a perfect second car and perhaps even more. sent on June 24, 2014 |
![]() | Canon EF 17-40mm f/4.0 L USM Pros: flare virtually absent, as fast as all usm, lightweight and considering the year of manufacture is almost perfect picture quality, the absence of the stabilizer does not feel ... in fact you take good night freehand and with time around the second half, the cost puts it as an excellent antagonist 16-35 f2.8 which costs more than double. Cons: its main drawback is the edge where quality and abberazioni to f4 are at home even on smaller formats of the ff, closing and working in PP, however, you can recover almost everything. Opinion: the greatest fear was to take new perspective already old (in prod. since 2003) and then find a lens reflex as not up to the mk4 or 7d (where I use 17-40), however the optical proved up to the critical situation in which I suffered suttoposta .... full backlighting and night pushed, demonstrating a truly impeccable quality and unbelievable .... Needless to say, in normal condition is amazing and the cost around the 750 euro puts the first step above optics of prestige as the 16-35 f2.8 or similar. the loss of a diaphragm does not feel and make the tropicalization, this 17-40, very safe on the field. Once you have purchased doubts and fears disappear. sent on December 28, 2012 |
![]() | Canon 7D Pros: useful as a second body without having to spend too much. At amateur level is definitely a great car that gives some satisfaction both in quality and performance (8ft century there are many), but the only real advantage is the sensor that helps in the fields of natural and sporty, the increase in focal committed. Cons: 18MP in a sensor aps.c are too many especially when they get the iso. Opinion: I bought it twice ... just come out, but sold the x 5d mark2, then bought used with the new update that seems to have given a coat of quality especially nell'autofocus that was not excelled. it is useless to think that it can replace the first class even if it brings some Characteristics as the eight ft sec. and the central cross 2.8 x optical, remains a useful machine as a spare when you star light ox xchè canon wanted to overdo it by placing well in a 18 mp sensor half the size of a fullframe obviously a high iso (formerly 800) , shows all its qualitative limits, but x amateur use is definitely the best that can be offered without entering the profession. The video mode ... there would be no small talk, but presferisco use x photograph until they come out optics with autofocus is quiet and working without altering the light as you move the recovery in different areas. is still one more thing that can be used in certain circumstances. sent on October 10, 2012 |
![]() | Canon 1D Mark IV Pros: precision and quality image has both raw and jpg, waterproofness and robustness. the battery lasts really x 2300 shots, machine rich menu and the possibility of using very different. high speed in sequence from 10ft sec also in Raw. ideal x sports and nature photography. Cons: In recent years we have seen a lot of mistakes during construction that forced him to retract many pieces with defects rather important ... x machines of this caliber you would expect almost perfection and regret that compared to 4500 euro I spent, is due riccorrere twice to the service center (now the machine and perfect). X needed this necessity, using the latest objectives of the series elle. Opinion: taken in hand after the mark2, you feel immediately that weighs much less without being touched its sturdiness. is the top of the range in terms of quality and performance that range in all fields ... most challenging sports, weddings, news, nature, theater. The excellent precision in focus and the files of the highest quality, make that in post production is often no need to use unsharp mask. I find files very similar to the real shooting, but not within specifications in this regard xchè the result depends very much on optics used, which sossono be different even in the same models. With his arrival on the market it seems that Canon has opened a new world in the field of photography, raising a lot of the qualities that already exist. Now came the D1X that seems to diminish with further technical changes, but with this machine even if discontinued, you may have to change soon x x force levels remain high quality. sent on October 10, 2012 |
![]() | Canon EF 2.0x III Pros: data transmission between camera and optics, little loss of sharpness, impervious to water and dust ..... a perfect radoppiatore x who has to run and can not afford to carry around lenses fixed to 2.8 Cons: I have yet to find any defect Opinion: If you are not fixed lenses from 2.8 (300-400mm), and you can not get close to the subjects that interest you, then he is the perfect compromise x derived from a 2x doubler. The loss of detail is minimal compared to the previous model and is able to make good performance even in low light. Solid and well attaches to the car to look like one with it. Stuck between the 7d and 400 2.8 (mine is not the latest series), reaches the focal length of 1100mm and over only f5, 6 ... is the stuff of pure chills if you think that the canon 1200mm weighs 16kg ....... sent on September 30, 2012 |
![]() | Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS II USM Pros: color rendering and sharpness to the top of the range ... excellent stabilizer of new design and superb speed in addition to the precision of focus that goes down to 1.2 m minimum .... a true "macro" Cons: Optical perhaps a tad colder than the reality during the filming Opinion: just another of the same canon 70-200 could lower quality from this perspective that attacked any eos gives amazing results, 2.8 allows the use of duplicators greatly improved with a 7d you find yourself managing almost a "700mm" I do not know what I mean .. what it means. with a ring extension and 2x doubler you can take pictures with quality equal to the macro focus of each. After accquisto of mark4, I had x "force" to replace the old 70-200 x II version after seeing the results. Perhaps his flaw is that the price is around 2400 € (there are many), but it is a perspective that can not miss in your bag for those who use canon sent on September 30, 2012 |
![]() | Canon EF 400mm f/2.8 L IS USM Pros: sharpness, immaggine quality, speed, can be used with all 2 duplicators canon (not together). Cons: weight (allows few shots freehand and not without afanno), with the arrival of the new you can find it at a good price that otherwise was very high. is a perspective to be taken after several experiences with other lenses smaller. Opinion: Although out of production, remains a fantastic optics that nothing is missing (perhaps as it makes the new). X to operationalize it takes a few minutes x because of the weight that can slow you down, but once ready is a real satisfaction in any shooting situation, even in the evening or night, where the immaggini surprise to very large openings (4 or 2.8 ). I tried with the 7d and the dupl.2x and in low light conditions without regretting the results. Only real flaw is the weight that may seem minor, but put together with the rest of the equipment (II machine, other optical and flash more trip and monopod) has an impact considerably, so that canon has made a new one of "only" 3.8 kg compared with 5.4 kg of this model. Even a 450 would look good with optics of this caliber. sent on September 24, 2012 |
