nikon_fm2Nikon FM2

Pros: Mechanical camera, reliable, robust, essential, never ages, and a tree always green! Like all mechanical cameras of the time! I also had the Oly om1... who has had the pleasure of shooting with these cameras knows what they are talking about! I stupidly sold fm2 for digital switchover!

Cons: It tends to overexpose... but once it happens it becomes irreplaceable!!!

Opinion: This nikon and forever... bought new with its fiftieth, paid in 1988 1 million and 200 thousand lire... what about this camera? It's not outdated, it always works, you take the photos, time, diaphragm, mf and shots... I always regret selling it... without automatisms... he had focused on the shot and you took home beautiful photos... I photographed everything with fm2, sports, events etc... the B&W I took it with Kodak 400 iso exposed to 800 I have prints of my children and grandchildren from when they were wonderful children!! I mean, it's an old glory! My modest advice to those who still own this camera! YOU'D NEVER SELL IT!!! Good light at all!

nikon_z5Nikon Z5

Pros: And a big ML, I don't see any difference with z6, beautiful rows, iso seal, manual and a fairy tale, light, sensor, price to be an fx..

Cons: Nothing at all..

Opinion: I tried it for two days loaned to me by a friend and it made me believe with the fact that reading some reviews is reputed under the other ML... the files are similar to the z6 and superior to the competition... with Z pro optics amazes, especially at night! I put her under pressure at night in London and was speechless looking at the photos on the pc... no I have never made videos and I can not judge it in this, but using it both as a priority of diaphragms, in manual etc. it was a real satisfaction ... I have 3 cars all nikon, but the Z5 really amazed me... in a few months I will also buy this by permuting something... I'm not a fundamentalist... I have also tried other respectfully respected brands... but this z5 and a marvel of ml...

olympus_om1Olympus OM-1

Pros: Mythical Olympus! The OM1 was like a school ship!

Cons: nothing

Opinion: It was owned in 1986 with 135 2.8, 50 1.4 and 28 2.8!!! Sold stupidly after 2 years of use to switch to Nikon fm2... it was a very practical system with the galvanometer needle as a reference of the exposure, the ring of the defeats was in front of the very comfortable targetss to use... it was an essential Leica-type system made of times and diaphragms... robust, mechanical, reliable throughout... exceptional lens quality... the most beautiful memories and photos bind me to this camera... Oly's always made machines that live up to... even now with digital it is second to none... but this om film series has really made its mark in the photographic world!!!

olympus_e620Olympus E-620

Pros: Great value for money... really a great camera

Cons: And a 4/3 so you know the limits of this format... to consider that he is 12/13 years old on his shoulders...

Opinion: It was my first digital camera, I came from analog nikon. Fm2,F90x, I kitted it with the 14/42 and it was really nice to use it, file quality, Olympus colors, excellent screen, took a gorgeous B&W... only mole over 800/1000 iso I could not go for the reasons we all know about this format ... I changed it for the nikon 7000 that at the time made the miracle cry for the Iso estate but it was not true, the 7000 was a little better, I have a great memory of this Oly that in 2009 was second to none, indeed maybe it had something more ... the internal stabilizer works very well allowing you to earn up to 3/4 stops, with a pro optics still today can rival modern cameras...

nikon_70-300vrNikon AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G ED VR

Pros: I will light, sharp, construction, MF, price of used, colors.

Cons: At the maximum focal point it lowers slightly sharply.

Opinion: Bought in conditions equal to the new one at 250 euros... and a good lens, crisp with very nice colors and a VR that works great... and a pleasure to use it also because it is not bulky... I use it both on ff and on apsc for stolen street or in the mountains... I have had it for 3 years and given the results that I have never felt the need to change it for the latest arrival ... you lower the sharpness slightly from 250 to 300 ...just close the diaphragm of 2/3 stop and you get more than good results ... clearly if you are looking for the blurry you have to go on 2.8 heavier and more expensive lenses, considering that it is a project of 15 years ago still does its job excellently even considering the cost! Good Nikon!!

nikon_50_f1-8seNikon AF-S 50mm f/1.8 G Special Edition

Pros: Classic cinquatino, simple and easy to use optical scheme.. excellent optical quality, with my DF and a pleasure to use it... sharp, light and returns very nice files!

Cons: nothing

Opinion: Kitd with df, works very well... I use it a lot for the street that along with the 35th of the same opening and my favorite lens... also used for set portraits gave me really very nice photos... I read complaints about his optical quality... but for me it's an optical octatus and it doesn't cost much!!! I've never done any tests of comparisons with altr 50 but a colleague of mine has 1 with 1.4 opening and tells me that this is better in sharpness... great light at all!

nikon_afs35gNikon AF-S 35mm f/1.8G

Pros: Light, crisp, bokeh, MF, price!

Cons: A little exaggerated contrast

Opinion: An excellent 35 no frills, given its lightness and a joy to go around there... I took it after trying it by chance on the advice of the owner of the Nikon store in Manchester... it has a wonderful yield and I rediscovered the beauty of making street with the fixed... move to create the right shot and another way of photographing...fights on par with 35 much more expensive and heavy... on the other side and very contrasted but nothing dramatic... just set the neutral mode on the camera and the problem is solved... I highly recommend this lens if you are looking for a 35 with little talk but many facts... good light at all!

nikon_28_f1-8gNikon AF-S 28mm f/1.8 G

Pros: Crisp, light, colors, nano Cristal..

Cons: For me nothing...

Opinion: In my modest opinion and an extraordinary wide... it doesn't cost a RENE and gives shots up to much more expensive lenses... When I took it looking at the building I thought I made a mistake... but looking at the prints it was a nice and pleasant surprise... I use it mainly on the DF and I let you imagine... I don't place my photos on the internet etc. I come from old school and I love the photographic press... for me the photo is the print... and with this 28 I always get what I want!! Thank you and good Nikon!!

tamron_24-70_f2-8vcTamron 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD

Pros: Quality throughout, and a pro lens!

Cons: nothing

Opinion: I've been possegging this lens for 6 years using it on pro nikon bodies. and always live up to any situation... both at night and in broad daylight... the stabilizer works great... and the only non-original lens I own I bought it new at an advantageous price and I was always happy with the purchase... and a handyman who is a pleasure to use it.. if you are looking for so much stuff without emptying your wallet I highly recommend it!!!! Just look at the pictures posted on Juza!!!!

nikon_d7000Nikon D7000

Pros: Exemplary quality of realization and very beautiful files still today... 170000 shots... I haven't changed the shutter yet...

Cons: Tends to overexpose

Opinion: And with me since she came out, I've never had the courage to sell it... I photographed everything with her, weddings, landscapes, street.... I've always been great... now I also have the DF z50.. clearly has its limits by comparing it to new outputs with more modern sensors and processors... tends to overexpose but those who know it well the problem can not... even today it gives me beautiful rows... if you find it at derisory prices don't let it get away... shooting with the d 7000 frankly I never understood the entry level factor or semi pros and various bales... (Unique Nikon) but no one is perfect!!!

nikon_afs58gNikon AF-S 58mm f/1.4 G

Pros: Excellent in all respects! It has unique colors!

Cons: nothing!

Opinion: When I took it at a price not really cheap I knew from the reviews read that it would be a great optics! I use it on DF and I can say that it is an exceptional lens, especially in the evening or in environments with little light.. I love shooting with little light, and this lens seems to be born for shots of this kind!!! I agree with Lupaccio who reviewed this lens long before me, when he says nikon put a brush in the hands of photographers... his colors are unparalleled... is not as sharp as other 1.4 optics.. but when I print the photos the owner of the laboratory always says that they are particular colors and nothing and excessive ... the light, the colors of the skin, in short and a particular optics that must be used and understood! And then he doesn't give up, they tell me that 35 1.4 and on the same line... ok as soon as I find a great used....

nikon_z16-50dxNikon Z DX 16-50mm f/3.5-6.3 VR

Pros: Crisp, light, stabilized

Cons: All plastic attachment including... maybe even the glasses?

Opinion: For a first approach to the system it can be more than good... but then you feel the need to want much more... also given the high quality of the sensor and processor of the z50... and a good optics but nothing to do with competition professor lenses! (especially Fuji) I hope Nikon soon gets to market at least two fixed and two zoom opening f2.8... I believe a lot in this ml system! And Nikon is doing great projects!!!

nikon_z50Nikon Z50

Pros: Excellent file quality body top of range ergonomics and controls,tropicalized AF good but still improveable

Cons: Optical park reduced to bone

Opinion: The machine is a small big ml... it keeps the tall isos amazingly to be an APSC and churns out really very nice files... for those who already come from the black yellow brand will have no problem with the menu, however very simple ... excellent ergonomics, light and discreet and the top for making street... it's not an entry level at all... and much more... Nikon is doing a great job with the new ml system... the only flaw that I can criticize and the lack of availability of dedicated lenses for this system ... you can't make a quality machine like the z50 and then force photographers to settle for just two kit lenses.. (good lenses but not in step with the competition) the adapter with F lenses works well.. but it's not the same... also because what is the point of making the big bayonet and then mounting the optics F... I urge Nikon to move to make professional optics for the APSC ml system... otherwise I'm sure it won't go far as far as the z50 is concerned!

nikon_dfNikon Df

Pros: a great machine we rediscover the passion for photography ... only Nikon could make a masterpiece of the genre ... I'm not exaggerating !!!!

Cons: nobody

Opinion: I own the df 6 months and a pleasure to shoot with her, quality 'at the top facilitates' of use and every time I have the feeling of taking pictures with fm2 I had always been. I had so many digital cameras almost all nikon, excellent machines ... but the df and 'a world apart ... here taking pictures with the heart and mind ... if you believe there try it!
