minolta_af28-85Minolta AF 28-85mm f/3.5-4.5

Pros: Construction, Very Faithful Color Rendering, Weight, Cost, Macro

Cons: For what it costs I'd say none

Opinion: I have owned this lens for several years together with a Konica Minolta MAXXUM 5D (I'm sorry that on Juza this camera is not present, too bad really) and I must say that it is a cut above all the various kit lenses of each brand. It is made of solid metal but despite everything it does not weigh much, it has an excellent performance from 28 up to 50 / 55 closing at f8 / f10 it is also quite sharp, then beyond this focal length even closing the diaphragm at f8, it softens. To its surprise and amazement, it doesn't lose much sharpness at the edges at CT, not even at the slightest focal length. The only drawback is that it's not a "silent" focusing lens, and it's not even lightning fast (which I personally don't care about as I mainly shoot landscapes). Today you can get it for two pennies, in 2011 I took it at a 50 one of €, today for better or worse you can take it away even for less. I recommend it if you want to spend very little and have a decent optics.

nikon_d3000Nikon D3000

Pros: Lightness, CCD sensor that returns exciting images from a chromatic point of view and above all with excellent dynamics, price today

Cons: Not excellent ISO sealing, better not to exceed 800, it does not have an AF motor, only three focus points (but it is still an entry level

Opinion: Had for a period on loan from a friend of mine years ago, with the 18-55 in kit and a very questionable Tamron 70-300, I took it with me both night and day almost everywhere. It churned out extremely workable files, already excellent at the origin both in JPG and especially in RAW, in the second case it is always as a shot of course. I liked it from the first shots, really sensational colors (only in some cases I noticed a certain hyperchromia tending to "warm" but not too much), very ergonomic and light, with optics, however, more performing and often heavy but it is very unbalanced. Its advantage is also its ease of use. It returns excellent photos during the day, at night in my opinion you should not go beyond 800 iso so as not to have too compromised files, so let's forget about milky and indoor photos, unless you use 1.8 / 1.4 lenses, therefore fixed, but usually those who have these lenses will not have/use an entry level. Even today it is an absolutely valid camera, without useless frills (such as videos and social stuff) and which is an excellent alternative to the (in my opinion) very useless and senseless 5xxx series which in addition to this has practically nothing but the highest price.

zenit_122Zenit 122

Pros: Excellent card stop, reliable attracts dust

Cons: Few selectable shutter speeds, plasticose construction

Opinion: Excellent School ship To learn how to shoot in analogue, really light construction and chips. Despite Everything is reliable, completely mechanical, except the exposure meter that is powered by a battery, therefore not necessary for the operation of the camera. Accompanied with the Helios 58mm or with a nice Tair 11/Tair 11A, it's fun to use for portraits. Sold at the time for a few lire, today you buy it for the price of a coffee and a pack of cigarettes. In the absence of lenses dedicated to her, she does her job of dust accumulator. However, a camera, despite its immense limits, really made to last forever, have never heard any complaints about the operation. Ah, it's also bad to see, remember the old floppy disk drives 90 years, but worse still.

sigma_50-200osSigma 50-200mm f/4-5.6 DC OS HSM

Pros: Price

Cons: Everything from building to Glass

Opinion: A toy to replace the bottle with the camera attachment. Very poor Detail, maybe non-existent, flat colors and dull, if you close the diaphragm maybe earn something. Full length distorts a lot, at minimum length the situation reverses and distorts like a wide-angle, about half-focal though... No distorts anyway. Bought in San Francisco at $9 sold in Italy to €100. Here is his only merit, the final revenue

hasselblad_500cmHasselblad 500 C/M

Pros: Construction, reliability, absolute quality, versatility

Cons: It makes you fall in love so much that you don't potersene separate even in your sleep

Opinion: Well... what to say. Hasselblad, the absolute story, that pompous name, that philosophy; It takes you to see and raggionare like no other camera in the world can do. It is a world in its entirety. It is not a point and shoot machine and many consider it a purely study machine, even if in my opinion, it has no rivals in any field where it arises. Today use a 500cm-500c-501cm and so on is like going against everything you are accustomed to use; Because already only when you go to grip, look in the cockpit and realize that the image appears to mirror the reality, the first experiences creates much confusion (unless you work a useful, heavy and expensive pentaprism viewfinder), the Made of then having to focus that way, set aperture and shutter speeds and walk with the external meter (if you do not know how to read the light to the eye), it can be daunting and difficult, but once you hold the hand, everything comes automatic and sensational at the Same time. After removing the protective foil you are ready to "shoot" the photo. It is said to shoot because the "sound" of the Mirror that rises and the shutter that closes reminds more the shot of shotgun Cal 12 rather than a camera. Perhaps for this reason and also for the non-immediacy of use, its greatest limitation are the sport photography and the volatile fauna. For the rest I go back to say that it is a car that leads you to reason before you shoot. Today it is located at prices all in all accessible, only body and the classic planar 80mm f 2.8. If you want to do something for good, that is a serious and complete kit of several optics and accessories, well here is not a means for everyone. Another limit (maybe for the "big" so then it cancels) is the fact of having only 12 poses, provided not to weigh down with other reserve warehouses already loaded. Another limit that makes a camera challenging, after the costs of management, is the weight; Not so much as the camera alone, but of all the loot that normally you carry around, for example I always walk with two stores, one BeW and the other always with the color, 4 lenses, filters, various adapters and tripod, you get to drag a 5-year-old baby well-fed. But those who love and accept all this would never change it. At the top, viewed and considered the age of the projects. For those who have it today, there are digital stores that can modernize it and bring it to a level of use/fascination that today, at a distance of 75 years, still does not fear rivals. Always to consider the cost of the warehouse is not indifferent, for the cfv50 it takes €11,700, little bit less. What to say, a gem still today that will never fade that I prefer to any other machine today, so much that I have put the 5d MkIII into oblivion. Will it be the Hasselblad name? Will that celluloid has a indescribable charm? Will it be his form, which has been a source of imitation for various brands that have tried to be rivals but never even comparable to the Swedish cube? In short, it makes you fall in love so much that you leave your heart... and your wallet...

hasselblad_hc150_f3-2Hasselblad HC 150mm f/3.2 N

Pros: Construction, colors, detail and sharpness,

Cons: Price, no tropicalization

Opinion: This is Hasselblad so you can only imagine the quality of the absolute lens. Coast ... but it's worth it. The price up to the last penny. It has vivid and almost "saturated" colors, but are so pungent and bright that they become the libidin of this goal. The opening f3.2 does not suffer from detail loss at the edges but the maximum yield is f8. Too bad that Hasselblad does not tropicalize his goals or even the bodies, given the prices they would like these little "luxuries".

hasselblad_hcd28_f4Hasselblad HCD 28mm f/4.0

Pros: Esoteric construction, made available to any diaphragm opening, weight (denotes absolute quality), detail

Cons: Price not really "affordable", weight (after a while takes you off the neck), no tropicalization

Opinion: A goal, indeed the lens ... Absolute and unparalleled on all fronts, even in price. Unfortunately, the detail and the sharpness of the sharpness can not be described in words, you have to try it to understand what you mean. The hood at least seen and considered the price is included but not indispensable since it does not suffer from even under difficult conditions such as the sun against or across, but it is not tropicalized and this is a sore button since it costs like a Canon 1D X. The weight is felt when taken in hand due to its compactness but once attached to the camera it is still nice to use since the weights are well balanced near the attack on the body, but after a while your neck really breaks you. At aperture of diaphragm 10, it delivers superb sharpness and detail, never seen before with Canon Lens Lenses or the equivalent of Nikon, as compared to the top of any other super-branded brand becomes a bottle of glass. The colors are natural and maybe too much, it is not very "colorful" indeed the conTrivial, exaggeratedly loyal, perhaps in some cases almost "off" but still pleasing. Blurry is pasty and delicate, not overly invasive but not dead. In conclusion who can afford to take it without any hesitation, there are not some rivals and if you do not think the price becomes almost a pest of the camera so much as to want it to detach

canon_17-40Canon EF 17-40mm f/4.0 L USM

Pros: Weight, construction, absolute absence of chromatic aberrations, detail and sharpness worthy of the red line

Cons: I did not find it noticeable

Opinion: Great lens, perfect for even nightly landscapes given the diaphragm f4 on the whole excursion. The construction is solid and the hinges are sliding and soft but not too far to be inaccurate. The price of the used makes it easier to buy but also new is not exaggerated (I took it again). Even with full diaphragm opening does not lose detail in the edges, but its maximum yield is on f9-10. I have not found any controversy until now and I think it's a lens we should all have in the bag at all times

pentax_50-200wrPentax SMC DA 50-200mm f/4-5.6 ED WR

Pros: Weight, really small size, hood, tropicalized

Cons: Sharpness, low detail, blurry

Opinion: I bought this lens with my beloved Pentax Kr. Really compact and light, rich and saturated colors (but not distorted) and tropicalization really superb, so I'm not scared to use it under water. The detail and the definition are related to price and even more to the size, so ... really low. However, it has a pleasant soft and almost silky color range but it is not distorted or artifacts. Blurry leaves much to be desired, but if you look for a lightweight, compact lens and start banging with longer focal lengths, at the same price, there is absolutely nothing that is even less comparable, I have a lot of similar goals and No one is even a comma of this. In addition the hood helps a lot in certain backlight situations and possible flare. Aberrations practically absent even to the maximum extent. At 100-130 with f8 details and sharpness jump out, but 200 loses a little. I highly recommend

sigma_70-300dgSigma AF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 DG APO Macro

Pros: Weight, price, versatility, Macro

Cons: Sharpness, constructive quality and "plasticose" optics

Opinion: Great zoom with generous focal coverage, economical and versatile. Really great for lively and vibrant landscapes, but unfortunately it has little contrast and the detail leaves much to be desired, especially in the macros where you notice its limits but we are always talking about a lens of 230 € and I think it's better not to Absolutely claim. Of course the best of all his rivals (I also possessed the tamron I gave the day after taking it ...). Autofocus slow and noisy and 20-25% of the time can not focus (so not suitable for photographic hunting). On the other hand I would highly recommend it if you want a decent lens all to do without spending a fortune

hasselblad_h4d-50Hasselblad H4D-50

Pros: files of indescribable quality, high ISO estate, management of files in post production, absolutely natural and detailed color, quality of the camera body

Cons: Weight, really disproportionate cost, non-tropical conditions and weight of RAW files

Opinion: It is the queen, so who knows, understands. It was donated as a confirmation gift with just 150 and then with the arrival time also 28mm. It is a camera that takes you to think long-photography, since RAW files never drop below 63 MB, so who wants to buy, I encourage you to buy various memory cards (if you have to use on a trip) . Well it is a contradiction because its weight (not counting targets) makes it difficult to transport. Excellent for photo studio, indeed unbeatable, superb landscapes, but not suitable for sports photos, snaps really slow; 1fps x second. The targets make it even more unattainable, and if you think you save with three shares you are wrong big lenses. O or Hasselblad Zeiss, or in rare cases Voightlander (I think there are still old adaptable). The crop factor of 1.5, however, is what makes this' no longer Hasselblad Hasselblad 6x6 (dear old beloved medium format). What can I say ... it's a camera that asks experience and practical usage, then yougive excitement and satisfaction that nothing else you will ever give in any way. The seal even at 800 ISO (the software can be upgraded up to 1600 ISO) is frightening, always perfect detail and 0, I 0 and noise at night is the perfect companion. His True Focus system instead leaves me a bit speechless, that is, always focusing and always keeps the subject but sometimes misfires, especially against the light, but everything is always resolved through updating. I do all things in six years that I own, I realized we only 40-50 shots so I can not comment further, then never photographer in the studio and then they have no say in the matter. Hasselblad is still the dream of many and, unfortunately, the reality for a few (I wish it were not for all) but who wants to strongly take council to consider the PENTAX 645Z, valuable product at less than half the price and still be amazing results, certainly more evolved the H4D-50, but still, for me she isthe only Queen, the HASSELBLAD

pentax_krPentax K-r

Pros: Lightness, qualidità, detail of the images that even the competitors from much higher you dream, reliability band in any situation, high ISO seal of semi professional level, tonal range and color of the lights

Cons: You always dirty sensor and self-cleaning system is absolutely ridiculous and useless, the battery lives less than a butterfly, viewfinder imprecise

Opinion: It was my first SLR purchased in the "far" 12-11-2011, remember that day like it was yesterday, paid with 18-55 kit € 720. Even today, I own and use primarily in travel because of its negligible weight, but if there is to churn out top quality files (for un'APSC) this does not bear comparison even with super emblazoned Canon 70D or Nikon D7100, that to price range are more than lower. The body is not weather sealed, but to me (perhaps because my vast fortune) seems to me a hoax because one evening leaned in a jar and found the next morning completely underwater with a lot of grafted goal. That night there was a storm of rain but strangely she worked perfectly. The RAW files are very soft and well manageable in post, though perhaps sometimes too dishes contrasts (often tends to over-expose, but very slightly, highlights). However, everything solved with a polarizer to the limit or with an ND filter. Even with the 18-55 DAL it does not make me regret Octoberic better performance although the latter dim. I also own a Canon 40D and I must say that in comparison, at night, the Pentax Kr from the hard time at what was and for many still is the queen of semipro. The high ISO strength is amazing really, but you should not overdo it though, because already in 3200 the noise is felt really (we're still talking about a pseudo "entry level." Take even at ISO 6400 but the baked files are really night compromises and unusable so best not to overdo it. sensational machine anyway even if the dirt on the sensor is a plague of Christ; I do not know why but you always dirty and often are forced to pull out of the mirror to clean it with meticulous attention otherwise it's just a waste of time. this is why I get scared to take it out for a day of photos, the dust on the sensor is always there. for this use as the first body the Canon 40D. the very much recommend the Pentax Kr, with emotions that reallytoday still few can give, pity that the mark is not understood and publicized properly. I, however, are waiting to take the new k1 I tried. Meanwhile, I enjoy the new Canon 5D Mark III

nikon_d60Nikon D60

Pros: Weight "almost" compact, reliability, quality and price (I paid $ 81 in San Francisco in 2012), reliability, saturated colors

Cons: He has his years, details not very exciting, already at 400 iso limps night as a high-end smartphones of today, very few focus points

Opinion: View a showcase of San Francisco, I fell in love right away by its compactness and its weight (since I turned to S.Francisco with a Milnolta Konica Maxxum 5D (which still possess) that only the body weighed 799 grams. .. outlet with the 18-55 adored now also for color and for its solidity. Used unpretentious, it performs very well, even better than many other of today's cameras; lowered in the evening it is best to leave it in the drawer, because it suffers lot high iso, already 400 there is a lot of noise, 800 iso files are unusable. Since its reliability, however, has (despite being helpless tropicalization) uncompromising and comparisons. though I have brought in the rivers, in caves, sea, motorcycle, boat, and never a problem, never a dirt on the sensor wire, never a hitch. Unfortunately, it is very slow to process the files, in fact, if you take pictures at night with long exposure and iso "tall "(200-400), and the processing time equal to the duration of a marriage rite with ceremonyfestivities. He also has his years but is perfect as a training ship, I still use as a reserve toy, or use my girlfriend when we go out to take pictures and I must say that the RAW are astounding for colors and color range. Is guilty of little details marked with 18-55, but if you use a lens of high range as the 28 f1.8 or f4.0 17-70 or even the 70-200 f2.8 then everything changes, becomes a jewel. The advice to all for his ridiculous the used price. I realized it about 30,000 times and the owner before me about 10,000.

canon_40dCanon 40D

Pros: Falls well in manornFacilità of utilizzornQualità files in RAW + JPEG excellent

Cons: RnPosizione weight of the power button / spegnimentorn

Opinion: 339; age who has on his shoulders. I have joined to my beloved Pentax Kr that now I use only (and not always) at night as it has a screen (unlike the 40D and night in a live view is absolutely unusable) deserve to be called such, very much detailed and bright and with a graduated grid to adjust well with the horizon plane. The Canon 40D is truly a remarkable camera, that despite the years that he is far more valid and usable for many of today's cameras that can be ridiculous and unnecessary (considered their prices). I have a Sigma 10-20 f3.5 for panoramic (practically only this use), and a Sigma 70-200mm f / 2.8 EX DG OS HSM for details that gives beautiful emotions, nothing to envy to the harrier Canon f2.8 .
