olympus_12-100_f4proOlympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-100mm f/4.0 IS Pro

Pros: build quality, stabilization, focal ranges, sharpness, macro performance, blurred (at 100mm)

Cons: not detected (weight and dimensions make the combination with the 1 series more balanced)

Opinion: I only regret having hesitated so much in the purchase, mindful of the disappointments of other superzoom: the 12-100 undoubtedly plays in another category, as it offers a "complete" focal range practically without significant cons. The biggest doubt was to find oneself as in the past to regret having only had the superzoom with him and not being satisfied with the results. Here, I repeat, without wanting to weave exaggerated praise, not only is a bit of everything you need, but with remarkable quality. To understand each other I have the 40-150 pro, which I think is fantastic, but if I have to go out "light" the 12-100 manages to replace it more than decently even in the closeups, where at 100mm f4 returns really balanced blurred. In general, it also depends on individual preferences: for those like me who do not necessarily look for super wide-angle shots but appreciate both 24mm (equivalent) and narrow shots, details, and closeups I think it is the ideal all-rounder zoom (for example, I often feel "limited" with the 12-40)

benro_b2Benro B2

Pros: arca type plates, sturdy enough, friction, cost

Cons: microshiftings when tightening with clutch

Opinion: I needed a relatively light head to match the tripod Velbon ultra rexi L be exploited to 360 ° (including macro) in outputs when I do not harbor the 055 with the 410; I was curious to try a head with clutch plates and I wanted to kind ark (made a little 'test with an adapter, I no longer had any doubts); satisfied and the general use of the clutch for head shots with no lockout; annoying movements (eye-catching, but I have no other comparisons are very obvious) when tightening the use in macro

manfrotto_488rc0Manfrotto 488 RC0

Pros: excellent handling, devoid of significant microshiftings during tightening

Cons: not rubbed

Opinion: I still have not figured out why, while keeping in place an infinite number of plates (way too many), Manfrotto has abandoned its hexagonal plate: the only drawback is perhaps the clutter, but I have yet to surface in cork (but after a while 'flattens and tends to slide) and "new" wheel and I still consider it a project ... got it right; returning to the head, feeling the lack of clutch I tried a Benro, but when tightening has displacements that make me regret not rubbed manfrotto

nikon_70-180microNikon AF Zoom-Micro 70-180mm f/4.5-5.6D ED

Pros: flexibility of use: the only zoom that is really a macro (and vice versa ...)

Cons: working distance (in the sense that the maximum focal length you'd expect more space between lens and subject); difficulty finding specimens used

Opinion: I do not gamble too much in analysis techniques: the first feeling you get from using it is comfort (in certain situations you can zoom in to define the frame is priceless ...) without apparent compromise on quality, on DX can easily withstand the fact that reaches the 1: 1 (stops 1:1,32), the feeling is of extreme solidity, even if the specimen is not my youngest the zoom ring is sometimes not perfectly smooth; foot ring for tripod is a bit 'and requires little or a generous and well-plate loader (type Manfrotto hexagonal) or a plate type ark with margin against rotation; rnComplessivamente are very happy to have found a used one and I wonder how it is possible that such a project is not taken into consideration for a new edition in the light of technological advances ... though who knows how much it might cost ...

nikon_d200Nikon D200

Pros: many in his time, maybe today remain finishes semipro body and the possibility of using old lenses and accessories (PN11) without being limited by ... but there are also those who mourn the CCD

Cons: age ...: ISO very limited use, lack of live view, AF ...

Opinion: My first and only digital SLR: the face of deep uncertainty in the model that can replace ... I'm rediscovering the many qualities ..., let's talk about some areas (macro, landscape) where there are too highlighted the problems: I would not recommend some action shots today, just to be clear, neither for critical lighting conditions ...
