The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Canon EF 35mm f/2.0 Pros: size and weight, overall yield, convenience of purchase Cons: project a bit dated, blurry of medium quality. Not suitable for particularly "stressful" uses. Opinion: Two premises: I have it for a few years and it is my standard - along with the Canon 17-40 - on 7d and 40d; I have impressions from amateurs, not particularly evolved photographers. A lens of good quality that does not make you cry out for miracle, but there is no reason to complain about it either. The yield is generally good, with the characteristics and limitations of all normal range optics: the sharpness at the edges is not perfect (on APS-C the problem is reduced) and the best yield starts at least from f2.8. The most sore note is the blurring, which at maximum openings is decidedly nervous, perhaps because of the few slats of the diaphragm. Some of the most mentioned defects (noise, sometimes waveand slow AF) are consequential to the age of the project. In summary, it is an optic in my view conceived for purposes and well-defined applications: street, portrait set, landscape, travel reportage... It is an optic spree for a "quiet" use, away from the extreme conditions of speed, brightness or depth of field. If the bar of needs is not particularly high, if used for what is its optimum, giving it the right dose of light and time to do what it has to with the required calm, it provides solid and honest results, so much so that it still enjoys a very good reputation even among professionals. I use it mostly to medium or medium diaphragm and if there is little light it is on the tripod: I am fully satisfied and at its price I would buy it back immediately. sent on January 21, 2020 |
 | Canon EF-S 24mm f/2.8 STM Pros: It's a great lens, it's cheap. Cons: If you know what you buy, nothing. Opinion: I read a lot of notes that I can't understand and share: it's not full-time manual, it's just for aps-c, it's not stabilized.... We know this before, they are not cons but intrinsic ragrates. There's the EF 24 f2.8 USM IS, there's the Sigma 24 f1.4 Art, there's the EF 24 f1.4 L..... If you buy this, it's because you're looking for an f2.8 pancake from APS-C and 150 euros new, to use with a yummy AF (not an ultrasonic, but very good). For me, he has no flaws because I do not find him any weaknesses. It doesn't even have particular strengths, it's not a blade like some red stains, it's not as magical as the f1.2, but if you buy it you look for something else. I repeat, you are not able to find a weak point, it has a high and homogeneous yield and quality in any use. Maybe optics not exciting, it doesn't rip you "wow", but it's solid, consistent, it doesn't betray you, it doesn't pull strange rabbits out of the cylinder: what it has to, it does. What you expect, it's up to you. In its limits of use, the shot takes him to the house and photos throw a few. What the hell do you want more, for 150 euros? For me, a must like the 50 f1.8 and the 85 f1.8, two other glasses of different level one from the other, but both of an uncommon convenience. sent on June 25, 2019 |
 | Sigma 50mm f/1.4 EX DG HSM Pros: Construction, brightness, fast and silent AF, good image quality. Cons: In a situation of strong contrast, slight overexposure compared to Canon lenses. Drop of sharpness at the edges with very open diaphragms Opinion: I recently bought it, bought at a price (250 € for a copy that is truly indistinguishable from the new one) which I think is very advantageous. I took a few test shots and I share the first impressions, which are perhaps a bit superficial but have the gift of freshness and spontaneity.rnComplessivamente the viewpoint to be taken: the few and marginal defects are laughable compared to the robust quality that manifests. Let's start from the defects: rn- Softness to angolirnLa consider negligible: just diaframmare of a stop (even less ...) to solve the problem substantially, and then when you work below F2 you want to detach the subject from the background, what is on the edge usually blurs on purpose ... It 'a problem to which it is appropriate, in my opinion, in a picture of ten thousand ... rn- SovraesposizionernI noticed that in very bright scenarios and / or in conditions of strong contrast, makes me more exposed images compared, for example, to 17-40 L (body Canon 7d). It is only a matter of framing the characteristic (such as considero, more than a defect) and to avoid exposure compensation. It seems to me that other lenses suffer too.rnrnUnder with the merits! Rn- CostruzionernNon I've ever manipulated totems like Zeiss or Leitz, but I think it at the highest levels, much higher than the "poor" Canon, better than the Samyang 14 (which in its little one is made up with cement ...) and absolutely comparable to 17-40 L. The MAF ring nut and the couplings (bayonet, lens hood, filter holder thread) are very precise and (rightly) a hard spinner: there are no games and parasitic lights, you have to put a bit of "hand" but then everything is still in place, as it should.rn- AFrnWhat you expect from an ultrasonic. Nothing less. If it's dark, maybe it's a couple of ballets before hanging on, but there's ... there'll be better, there's certainly worse, but it's a point of merit.rn- ColorirnBelli, well balanced, a little colder than those of 17-40 but still pleasant, of fully comparable qualityskillful and the difference is personal taste.rn- Quality imaginernNitido and well contrasted, a requirement that associated with the quality of colors makes it a very good piece of kit.rn- Equipment and accessorirnRicca and high quality. Lobe-shaped hood that cracks in the attack with a bit of effort, but then it is stable and granitic, does not move, does not dance, it will never be lost. Soft case from Sigma, excellent robust cordura, padding and inserts well made, solid strap to attach it to life. To be ashamed of Canon ... rnrnIn summary, I consider it a very high level optics, a solid choice, convincing, rational.rnCopre all needs, if you want the impossible you have to go to talpone, Art or Zeiss .rnFrom what I see and read, the other high quality lenses if they play there goes there on a par, with +/- differences that do not make substance in almost all situations. Regarding the price (let's say under three hundred for a perfect piece in all) I struggle to imagineget something cheaper. Rating 9, just because it is a step below the maximum desirable. Highly recommended to those who choose with their heads and also needs very high, but not exasperated and can afford to pay attention to the cost. Last note: has an important window and you have to budget some more deca for filters, but it's worth it.rnrnP.S. I'm having a lot of fun with the extension tubes: with a 21 mm you shoot at approx. 30 cm from the subject, with a 31 mm it becomes a kind of microscope to incool the subject to the lens. If you do not pretend to work with a 1: 1 ratio, you can make excellent shots even freehand (if you do not exaggerate with coffee ... ;-)) .rn sent on December 28, 2017 |
 | Tamron 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di LD Macro Pros: Price Cons: optical performance in general, color rendering, build quality, autofocus system Opinion: Honestly, I can not grant him sufficiency. I have it for several years and now lies forgotten in a cassetto.rnNon consider relevant factors such as fluid or soft rings, which side turns the zoom ring or that of MAF or the like. The stabillizzatore there but it is not a fault, you know when you buy it. Same goes for the brightness: born "dark", if you want a f2.8 is the Sigma 120-300 waiting for you to 3000 Euros. The relevant facts are altri.rnI materials used to build would not even bad, but after a short time it takes the games that do escape the poetry, also to my broke the strap of the electrical connections between the ring nuts and servomechanisms (I was told to be a recurring trouble) .rnLe chromatic aberrations do not seem a real problem, but it is a tele ... RNLA front lens rotates, so the use of polarizers become mangy, but even this is marginale.rnLa optical performance is not good: colors are faded and not very saturated, more than 180-200 mm productionthere knead images and blurry even with remote shutter, mirror lock and tripod, below 200 mm is however not clear. I tried to compare the crop of photos taken with Sigma 18-200 (which is not a knife ...), better Sigma !! rnL'AF is slow, unreliable and inaccurate noisy. However it is not solely responsible for the unsatisfactory results: I tried to shoot from a tripod, with MAF manual in live-view display size 10x, nothing to do ... rnPenso that the only item of interest is the price: the only way to buy 300 mm to 100 euro is a drawing ruler ... but the 300 mm and its enlargement are the only thing that dà.rnCosta you little, but given the yield is better to save for a bit 'of time and buy big brother to 250-300 euro: there is just no comparison in all sensi.rnSe for once, one, you try to compare the results with those of a fixed or a high quality zoom, it completely changes point of view ... it ch and the costs are very different (yes and no, the SP VC model is less than 300 Euros ...) true that you can even do without a 300 mm ... true that with little more than the same money you buy a fixed vintage that goes manually, but good lenses ... RNA my view, a little purchase motivated: if you have a minimum of image quality ambition, one begins to regret immediately the shopping done. sent on July 23, 2016 |
 | AmazonBasics - Zaino per fotocamera e accessori Pros: Price, interior space, organization Cons: Upholstery, materials and construction Opinion: I bought it to walk out style and to bring only kit. The interior space is so, you can organize well. In pockets and compartments outside there are a lot of accessories but the height of the compartment is limited and can be stowed in the foot only optical really small. The price is very low but the quality seems to me so well, the seams are what they are and I is already unraveling the handle. No protection against pioggia.rnSe were to recommend it to a friend, I'd be really in doubt. It is cheap and probably worth what it costs, little more. It's not a rip-off. but the good stuff is done differently (it also costs more digits ...). I think it's an honest product. As makeshift backpack, for outputs without special needs nor stress, maybe okay: it is light and for that money it pays to protect your backpack good ... you just keep expectations low, otherwise there are Tenba, Tamrac, Lowepro, Manfrotto, National Geographics ... just tovidere by two and add a zero ... sent on June 17, 2015 |
 | Canon EF 17-40mm f/4.0 L USM Pros: Construction, operation, optical and mechanical, optical performance, and in particular color quality. Cons: None worth noting Opinion: State that I am an amateur photographer and I have recently done and we will have 100 pictures of 40d, but impressed me in his quality essenziali.rnUsato for those I guessed to be its uses election - photos "think", tripod , landscapes, views, details - returns true colors, saturated, well contrasted, balanced, all with a nice detail that is not "cut" and incisive enough to make images of raw and impact too, but by a very good balance between the sense of precision and detail and atmosphere sweet and poetic that gender does prediligere.rnIn substance, in my opinion has excellent performance for the critical aspects, very well proportioned and balanced in general characteristics, such that it becomes a reference for kinds which dedicato.rnIn this meaning seems to be not relevant lack of stabilization and openness "only" to f4, these aspects would be relevant in a perspective "general purpose" but fade much in a more specialistica.rnForse certain limits can weigh more for a "pro" that needs to include an investment in the totality of its activities and thus diversifying the fields of employment, for me with what it costs - came to my home to 350 including UV, perfect in appearance and operation except for a couple of subtle loses its gloss to the written - is an absolute reference . sent on January 04, 2015 |
 | Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Pros: Good management parameters (MAF, APERTURE, etc.) color rendering, excellent definition, quality throughout the frame, good construction. Lightweight and easy to handle. Cons: No lens hood Opinion: Even if it does not cost a fortune, a shred of hood could give it to you .... That said, I ended up with the criticism and start with the praise. In my opinion it's a great canvas, holding and assessment in a consistent manner from any point of view it is considered. Maybe he has a few requirements that make you say "Oooooohhhh" but did not find a flaw if you do not look for the nitpicking. What can I say? OKAY! E 'solid in construction, in solid prestaziooni, solid in the reliability of results, solid under all points of view. I use it to hunt down special (landscapes, cityscapes, art, portraits, flowers, cats, etc..) And I enjoy a lot with great satisfaction. Rated 10 because at that price you everything you'd expect and then some more, and then more of a laboratory analysis has found performance almost indistinguishable from the big brother L. Sleek and stylish, in my view on APS-C f2 better than the 100 because it is more in the range of focal lengths of mediotele and is more useful in portraiture and photo of thatthe. I read that it has a system of attachment of the hood a little 'Barbini: I think, given the focal length, you can very well go on a generic lens hood with screw: you save money and will bypass the problems. sent on January 13, 2014 |
 | Samyang 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC Aspherical Pros: Solid construction, optical quality general mechanical functions with fluid and precise. Easy management manual. Price. Cons: Distortion (it is a 14 ...), you have to understand exposure and WB in low light, in my 40d sometimes require attention and a few attempts. Opinion: I state that I am a dilettantuccio and my opinions may be a little technical and unprofessional. I found it almost brand new 270 euro and I think the price / quality ratio-performance is unapproachable. On the other hand, it is easy to feel a lot to ask for used than new, but I think the reliability is very high, given the absence of electronics and servomechanisms. rnLe rings are extremely fluid and move with the thought, the coupling with the body is solid and stable. I have not assessed the scale of the MAF but I think the important thing is the real possibility of focuse infinity. rnIl fact that it is a valuable guide for me: in these focal've always everything in focus and the AF is perhaps more a risk than a benefit, if you hook something weird ... the edges RNLA disotorsione there, obviously , but it's part of the rules of the game. Gestibile.rnPer who still has something to learn - I have a lot - this is a master glass prezioso.rnL 'breadth of field and distortion teach you how to handle a lot of composition parameters(Position of the subject, shooting distance, angle of view, aperture, etc..) Without stressing too much with the technical aspects. For the same price you buy yourself a lens and a photography course ... In my opinion, a valuable complement to a bright paintings, for those who want mgliorare his compositional technique, far more useful than a std and absolutely nothing to do with the zoom.rnConsiglio strongly budding photographers to purchase a wide angle lens, highly recommended in my opinion because it is the Samyang quality, manual, cheap, gives the right balance between complexity and ease of use, and holds its resale value well. sent on January 13, 2014 |
