The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Nikon D500 Pros: Nothing but a little d5 from which she has very little to envy Cons: Original battery that doesn't excel in durability, but patona solves the problem. Opinion: Having a personal need for a second body to support D5 and having a certain reluctance for cameras with many Megapixels (which proportionally reduce the size of the photoreceptors) I opt for this product which, after a year, obliges me to talk about only a great good. The construction and materials are decidedly satisfying (magnesium and carbon fiber), great solidity associated with a large tilting screen, the handle (an indispensable factor for me in the choice) is excellent, the body tropicalized. The processor is the famous Expeed 5, 153-point autofocus (including 99 cross) as impressive as the "big sister" d5, the continuous shooting of great speed and the buffer guarantees a series of 200 Raw in 20 seconds. It is a small jewel, in my opinion the best Apsc for years on the market. Having the good fortune to own even a d5, this "little" d500 has nothing to envy compared to the flagship Nikon, if not a lower limit in the use of the high iso. sent on March 08, 2021 |
 | Sigma 500mm f/4 DG OS HSM Sport Pros: excellent sharpness, autofocus and build quality Cons: undetected despite my pickyness in the tests Opinion: In doubt in choosing between the 500 Fl Nikon and the 500 Sigma Sport, I was lucky enough to try them both on many occasions, finally opting for the purchase of the second telephoto lens without repentance. Almost identical in the weight and distribution of it, in view of the price-quality ratio, Sigma dominates the Nikon product and not by a little. Impeccable autofocus and very, very sensitive... Associated with 1.4x there is no decay of the image, despite my always present prejudices towards focal multipliers. Very fast in the transition from Af to manual focus, probably in the hypersonic engine of yamaki's house there is a lot and still a lot of high quality technology. The bracket allows a correct rotation on 90 degrees thanks to the presence of a retainer that can be disengaged by operating an unlocking lever (absent in Nikon). The magnesium alloy barrel is of excellent workmanship to say the least, the light screen in rigorous carbon fiber and the optical scheme includes two elements in Fld glass and one Sld (total absence of spherical and chromatic axial aberration) where fld means Fluorite, whose well-known characteristics allow a very low dispersion. The optical stabilizer with accelerometer can be used in two modes, one that allows a certain "generic photography" and a second more oriented towards bird life and sports (in this second function the algorithm used by Sigma allows to work on horizontal, vertical and diagonal axes with unthinkable results). Finally, to add that to the purchase of this magnificent product, there is in the kit a backpack that allows its transport even with mounted machine body. I think it is useless to emphasize how much the Japanese company has been able to do achieving in my opinion a quality equal if not superior to the most branded Canon and Nikon brands. Not forgetting that the latter cost twice as much... sent on February 20, 2021 |
 | Nikon AF-S 180-400mm f/4 E TC 1.4x FL ED VR Pros: For those who remain convinced of the "indisputable" quality of multipliers, the integrated teleconverter can be convenient Cons: a step not forward compared to the previous 200/400 f/4 vr 2 Opinion: It is nikon's first objective with integrated teleconverter (I personally have "gastroesophageal reflux" in the use of teleconverters) which, according to Nikon, would have increased performance in favor of weight reduction (the data say far from it). It has fluorspar elements as well as all the recent Nikon optics and seems to use an improved Af tracking algorithm (I have not detected any improvement in all honesty). Expensive like few others but qualitatively distant light years from a 500 or 600 f/4, in my opinion it also loses comparison with the "old" but extraordinary 200/400 f/4 vr2 that is equal performing on the af and the color quality of the final image. The paradox is that in mtf tests, the 180/400 is shown to improve diaphragm performance between 5.6 and 8 already at 180mm, while all open has a much lower yield. Considering the exorbitant price and, given some evidence that I had the pleasure of carrying out thanks to a friend, this decanted lens can very well remain on the shelves of photography stores, thus remaining faithful to the 200/400 f/4 vr 2 which, still on the list, costs half and is qualitatively higher than the objective in question. In conclusion, the 180/400 f/4 fl 1.4x is simply a mirror for the sent on November 13, 2020 |
 | Nikon AF-S 16-35mm f/4 G ED VR Pros: Weight but above all, for those who use filters, diameter from 77 (which saves a lot considering the prices of Nisi slabs) Cons: not relevant Opinion: I waited months before giving an opinion on this goal, and reading even before the purchase of the MTF tests. It is incomprehensible in my modest opinion how it is by many photographers (amateurs or professionals who are) underestimated. I had the pleasure of being able to compare it with 14/24 2.8, 24/70 2.8 and 24/120 f/4, and as fussy as it is, in view of the considerable difference in price to purchase (with the exception of 24/120 f/4) I would not give up at all 16/35 in favor of the others mentioned above. The mtf speak clearly, to very open diaphragms limps but from the f/6.3 the gap with the much "decanted" 14/24 f/2.8 (reference point of the Nikon wide-angle category) is narrowing. The vignette that many highlight is in my opinion completely irrelevant given the possibility with Ps to eliminate it (for what little it highlights) in a blink of an eye. The sharpness at the edges, on the open diaphragms, is certainly not that of 14/24 but moreover the price is not and, as it closes at f/7.1 the difference disappears. In my opinion, it is an excellent optics, due to the fact that, using it exclusively in the mountains for landscapes, my diaphragms always range from f/8 to f/13 thus eliminating that "limp" of his to open diaphragms. Moreover, I do not have the problem of holder and slabs, being able to use Nisi filters on all the wide angles I own, which is a nice saving of both weight and euro!

 | Nikon AF-S 200-400mm f/4 G ED VR II Pros: incredibly incisive at full-opening. extraordinary blur, building materials Cons: only the weight (but that's not my case) Opinion: This second version represents an Af-s engine with extraordinary focus speed and a state-of-the-art stabilizer that guarantees up to 3 stops. Let it be clear that it is not a "small" or "light" objective, so it must be managed with the cautions of the case. The purchase price is exorbitant, but pays off largely thanks to results that are well outside common standards. Associated with my d5 works which is a marvel, it is incisive where it is asked, with a blurry that has little to envy to the f/2.8. I read about some decay at 400 mm but honestly, picky as I am, I don't feel like sharing these opinions. To be bought and treated with care, it will pay off widely in every single shot sent on February 05, 2020 |
 | Nikon D5 Pros: Excellent sensor, high speed of the mechanical shutter, af very reliable, impressive shooting range, ergonomics, tonal range and dynamic range, shutter lag that is unparalleled (0.31 milliseconds) Cons: Looking for the fur in the egg, noisy the shutter for those who devote themselves to "slave" wildlife subjects Opinion: I'm from the Canon "world," of which I owned machine bodies and top targets. Nikon's latest camera, which had my "colleague and friend" in the studio, featured technologies and improvements that invited me to buy and abandon the Canon brand. Leaving aside what may be boring insights, I just emphasize how much this Dslr has made me fall in love for its exceptional colors, faithful to reality in any weather condition, also thanks to a balance of white whereas compared to other brands it turns out to be from another planet (excellent the possibility of the three neutral selections). The mind-boggling performance is endorsed by the many substance present in this jewel of Nikon's house that make it in my opinion the best Reflex on the market. From the dynamic range to the "malleability" of raw files, from the incredible af to the inexhaustible buffer and burst, from the extraordinary ergonomics to the endless customizations and not least a tonal range unique in the world of reflex. D5 remains, in my opinion, a milestone in the world of digital photography. Obviously to be associated with "pro" optics. sent on February 05, 2020 |
 | Zeiss ZE/ZF.2 Distagon T* 15mm f/2.8 Pros: Beyond all the best expectations. Fly where no one else can! Cons: Given the extraordinary photographic performance and the excellent quality of the materials invites you to throw in the basket any other lens Opinion: Little or nothing to say! It excels in sharpness to any diaphragm, optical quality out of the ordinary, distortion absolutely absent and an unattainable chromatic rendering for the other objectives. It is to take with it all the life Only neo is that it outperforms so much the other goals that you want to equip exclusively Zeiss optics! . sent on September 07, 2019 |
 | Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM II Pros: Extraordinary sharpness and weight. Unattainable by any other objective at the moment on the market of Reflex Cons: Hard to find Opinion: Undoubtedly the best tele in Reflex field for several years to this part. Extraordinary sharpness at any aperture, construction and exceptional materials. The weight is very low and allows you to work anywhere. I assure you that I used it even in climbing wall it was a lot of magnesite. The cost must not mislead because in my opinion, in view of the excellent tool that is delivered, is even underestimated. Congratulations Canon! sent on March 15, 2019 |
 | Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM II Pros: Sharpness and chromatic fidelity out of the ordinary Cons: Really nothing... Opinion: Bought a few months ago proved right from the outset a real professional optics. It has no defect, from the build quality to the sharpness of the frame, from the absence of aberration to any graphic distortion at 24mm. Finally, after the flop of the 24/105 F/4 and many other Canon lenses, an L series as you wish. Second only to 14 mm, the rest is unrivaled. Buy it! sent on September 22, 2018 |
 | Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM S Pros: Focal length, sharpness, optical quality Cons: The weight is felt Opinion: I state that I have always been faithful to Canon lenses, possibly L series (100/400 is usm 2, 70/200 f / 2.8, 600 f / 4). And it's a big mistake because sigma has made progress with the progress of time. To date, in my kit there are the sigma 12/24, 150/600 and 85 fixed. They are high quality optics. Regarding the super telephon in question, it is exceptionally clear and excellent color fidelity (on Canon sensor). If I compare it to 100/400 is usm 2, believe me that the money in favor of Canon are badly spent because the images produced do not justify the difference in euros! Very convenient the ability to lock the lens on any focal length, effective stabilizer, I discourage the combination with the multiplier given that the af becomes an embarrassing slowness! If used without a multiplier, autofocus remains very fast and it is not difficult to stop small subjects in flight! The only drawback is the weight that, when I go to the mountains, one feels. But it is worth buying the last penny of euro! Congratulations sigma sent on February 03, 2018 |
