fujifilm_56_f1-2apdFujifilm XF 56mm f/1.2 R APD

Pros: Unique and inimitable yield

Cons: Addiction that creates, impossible to use for what moves

Opinion: The 50mm and derivatives I tried them all for Fuji but this is a glass that has its own unique style, inimitable and ... Unreachable! The blur is incredible, it is just different from everything you know, the light points are soft and defined at the same time, there is not a single aberration and the dose of microcontrast on the subject makes it emerge strongly. But the yield is silky, smooth, which does not split the features, the sharpness is there, the contrast as well but does not scream. Those that should be the cons such as lower T-stop and AF only contrast are forgotten immediately, you will not catch the evolving dancer but ... ! The normal 56 in comparison is a scrap, I say it almost with regret because until I sold the APD and bought the smooth I did not understand it, of course I had to buy the APD again. The other 50 and 56 new WR still do not have a fife in common in the overall image rendering.

canon_5d3Canon 5D Mark III

Pros: It's made to climb Everest and guarantee you the photo, no need to say anything else.

Cons: Self-customizable, it is not possible to vary the exposure compensation in M, AF LV a bit 'slow, light meter of old conception but stupid enough to anticipate it.

Opinion: After 10 years I find it a very modern body for many uses, I specify that I do not use neither real tracking nor eye AF, so returning to use a reflex is not traumatic. The 5D is made in an admirable way, really built to resist, specimens of 300,000 shots still go as the first day without even aesthetic decays. The sensor is old school Canon, hardly burns the lights but is very limited in the underexposure, I almost never open the shadows so it does not give me real problems. The light meter is very simple and conservative but having no intelligence it is possible to understand how it will expose and immediately adjust accordingly. The burst is just enough, the AF comes from that of the 1DX, although it does not have that nastiness and mystical precision, for example the 5D has the polycarbonate AF sensor, the sapphire series 1. However, the coverage is good and with the right lenses is a sniper (the modern L 70-200/100/24-70II etc.). Incredibly, the 50 STM is also fine. As for the software Canon could implement the autoiso with more minimum times in AV and unlock the exposure compensation when in M... They were not great demands!

canon_100is_macrolCanon EF 100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS USM

Pros: Construction, AF, hybrid stabilization, colors, contrast, blurry, sharpness

Cons: It's "just" 2.8, just to write something

Opinion: A lens that is of the same dough as the 70-200 more, however, has white and lively whites, then it is fast, engraved, excellent blurred, indeed, sensational, moderately light. Hybrid IS is a boon as it also compensates for forward-backward micro movements. Macro I do not do, I use it for some freehand close-up, portrait and low light situations. You can clearly see that it is made on purpose! In these fields excels, I replaced the 70-200 F2.8 IS II with the F4 IS version and this 100L, so as to gain in ductility and ... Even in weight, I no longer have a brick in my backpack that often made me leave it at home. Using it on the 5D III the AF is a sniper, I use it only in AF-C, even during theatrical performances of aerial fabrics, it is not wrong. Who finds it slow and noisy or has a broken lens or has a camera body that does not move it properly. For portraits it is great, the blurred is very sweet, despite being defined it is not nervous even in the most difficult situations, the light points always perfect, I prefer it to the 100 F2 which was too soft on the whole figures. In addition, the stabilizer also serves there, at 1/125 to me begins to shake my hand too much with the focal ones, so it is a valid help. A lens that takes "live" photos, to be used and cared for with great care!

fujifilm_xt3Fujifilm X-T3

Pros: Af, construction, viewfinder, price, shutter

Cons: Charger absent, Fujifilm which is without repair center in Italy, to implement more software features (HDR RAW, integrated ND, star AF etc)

Opinion: The camera is 4 years old but it is really good, fast and responsive, the first Fuji really valid for sports, fast and durable shutter, discreetly good even in electronic even if the rolling shutter is lurking in lateral movements or too fast. The AF is pro, it must also be known to customize, the tracking is discreet even if there is not much to rely on, Eye Af quite ridiculous, luckily I do not use it. The viewfinder is always great and with very little blackout, the menu I find easy, Sony or Oly drive you crazy, after 4 years it is still a very valid and concrete camera, so much so that the X-T4 is a very limited upgrade. What would I like? First of all 2 batteries and double charger as an obligation for homes! Then more advanced software functions, stuff that had the first paid A7 (20/30 € of app) 10 years ago must be standard today on the rooms, a few bales.

canon_5d2Canon 5D Mark II

Pros: Sensor, robustness, cost, controls, LV, modern if we think that it is from 2008

Cons: Central only AF, shutter lag, ISO management and embarrassing flash

Opinion: It is definitely a good machine today, if we then think that it is at the price of a Chinese smartphone it makes quite an impression. It has a "beautiful" sensor, the photos it does I like, made by old Canon have a nice contrast, but it forgives little as exposure, it also discreetly holds the ISO. the AF is there, to be used sparingly in AFS and only with the central. I can focus on the photos only for my past on film and the ability to recompose without moving the MAF. In addition, even that point, you have to put it in an area with the right contrast, otherwise it goes empty. The management of the ISO car is useless, in M it puts itself at 400 and remains there, both under a solar storm and in the darkest night. It seems to me a film camera with a sensor but, I must admit, it has a good LV, maybe a little slow in AF but very reliable exposure even at 30". Last thing is a 5D, so the shutter lag is long....

canon_24-70Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM

Pros: Construction, paired zoom/hood mechanism, colors, blurred, sharpness, 77 filters, minimum MAF, flare resistance, blurred

Cons: I can not find if not a variable yield of specimens and the cost of overhaul bushings

Opinion: The latest lens made by Canon without having to please wall photographers. Why do I say this? Today, lenses must be full-aperture hypernitide from the center to the edges without varying by one line per millimeter. I do not know why but apparently everything that Ernst Leitz II said about how he must make an optics, the same ideas that made his company famous, no longer apply, or that there must be an excellent contrast and sharpness in the center that must decrease slightly at the edges, this helps to detach the subject. The Canon 24-70 is just like that at full aperture, well sharp on the point of MAF and slightly fades the rest, the blurred is very soft, the classic colors warm and never too saturated Canon, has a little vignetting, made for me sublime. Closed at F8/11 it becomes perfect and sharp from edge to edge, without having an exaggerated contrast, you have to deal with a bit of curvature of the field, so you have to know how to focus on the edges. It holds the flare, 77 filters, very human size, very fast AF and beautiful almost Macro mode. Of course it is built very well, at 24 it is elongated and at 70 retracted, this allows you to have a hood that works at any focal length (the usual canon pro with velvet). It has only one constructive problem to the bushings, they wear out and after a while it begins to lose performance, the revision costs € 350 but is deserved by the yield of the lens. It has not been in production for a while, I found one of the last in impeccable condition, on the 1DX it is his death for the "short" side.

canon_1dxCanon 1DX

Pros: Excellent construction, granite and perfectly stable performance of light meter and AWB, the AF is reliable even with the extreme laterals and the tracking is very reactive, violent burst, "ready" file

Cons: Mirror group induces vibrations with slow times, ignoble flash management, coded batteries, vertical ergonomics that can be improved, only central F8 points, lacks anti flickering, LV a bit dated (but it is 10 years old ...)

Opinion: It is built in an excellent way, for example the mirrorbox is on iron and not on plastic like the 5D, the screen is perfectly visible even with the sun, for each function there is a button, battery and card compartment (2 CF) are blocked by a button, shutter curtains are made of carbon, the tropicalization is very accurate ... But the vertical ergonomics can be perfected, the batteries accept only the Canon otherwise it does not say the percentage of charge and with long focal lengths and times from 1/60 ha micromosso, it must be put in LV as it uses the electronic curtain. From the point of view of performance it is incredibly current, it pays pledge only to the latest ML stacked, the AF is precise and constant even with the extremes, the exposure is not wrong if you try, the tracking is good and must be calibrated to the point to make the best. The biggest flaw is how it manages the flashes, if you are in the car ISO blocks them at 400 even with the flash in M, at the last glow of the sunset I have the habit of letting the machine work in AV and I submit a stop letting the parameters adapt and managing the flashes manually, with this machine it is impossible. It has 18 MPX very clean and really little in need of PP, the GD is something more than the old Canon sensors but without approaching the Sony, it has a practically perfect contrast and holds the high ISO like fresh water, the PP is practically nothing. Too bad that the anti flickering is missing, from such a room it was necessary to work in the halls with horrible lights.

canon_2x_v3Canon EF 2.0x III

Pros: Well built and tropicalized

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: I use it with the Canon 70-200 2.8 IS II, the performance I find, at full aperture F5.6 400mm, higher than the "pompone" 100-400, sharp, more contrasted and AF slightly faster than the old 100-400. No AC on my 1DX, very high level performance, paid the necessary to have a level yield and, above all, no mechanical game

fujifilm_x100vFujifilm X100V

Pros: Shutter, built-in ND, lens, AF, files, viewfinders, customization, tropicalization

Cons: The 1350 € to have it but using it you have to admit that it is worth it

Opinion: It is the fifth in the series and the one that brings the best innovation of all, namely the upgrade to the lens! Of the X100F I was in love with its blurry but at F2 it was soft, on the X100V they managed to keep the same soft blur but with a sharpness of the highest level, really a Look from Summicron. For the rest it is a camera for those who know what they want, if you are wondering if it can do for you then you already start badly and you will resell it. The double viewfinder is very comfortable and the new EVF is finally really valid, all the keys are programmable, there is an ND filter that appears on 4-stop command, with the filter becomes tropicalized, beautiful the new ISO ring, faster, leaf shutter with infinite flash syncro and fast electronic shutter, well-kept construction, excellent AFC even if the real time tracking of T3 / T4 latita, Eye AF I do not know how to give too much info, I never use it, it has a minimum distance of MAF very short that allows nice close ups, but you notice a bit of spherical aberration at the minimum distance and the diaphragm must be closed a little. Amazing machine for lovers of focal length and concept.

fujifilm_x-e4Fujifilm X-E4

Pros: Size, spotless aesthetics, resolute LCD and flip, real tracking, Classic Negative simulation, charge during use, HDR raw, burst, reduced sensor readout

Cons: Lack af-s/c/mf selector, Fuji eye AF, buffer only 18 shots, tuna can ergonomics (but at least it's nice)

Opinion: After years, Fujifilm's most beautiful series is finally back. Sensor and AF are the usual of X-T3, X-T4, X-PRO 3, so good but not very intelligent in Eye AF, fortunately I never use it, good real tracking with the point that sticks to the subject and follows it reliably. The sensor is also the well-known BSI that in electronics has a fast readout and therefore can be used the electronic practically always, even for sports, as the deformations are not appreciable. The ergonomics are the worst of all Fuji, it has lost keys, rings and handle, it is perfectly smooth, but this one from an incredible cleaning that will make you love it and you would forgive anything, except the loss of the AF selector, that is from the gallows. They implemented HDR RAW, very useful, and the new film simulations, Classic Negative especially is a porn stuff, really... I can't stop using it. For the rest it is really an excellent machine, with a small, light and sharp optics you will always carry it with you, I gave the task to the 35 F2 that on this car is a sniper. I must say that the battery between lack of Ibis and other devils lasts the right even in boost (for me always active). As usual we thank Fuji for the Q menu, the customizable keys and the complete customization of everything, even the AF points.

fujifilm_x-t2Fujifilm X-T2

Pros: all

Cons: A flood of things, but you can live without

Opinion: The X-T2 is the camera that made Fujifilm's fortune and, after 5 years, it is still as beautiful as the first day. Let's face it, from T1 to T2 we have gone from an immature vehicle to a really working one, T3 is the fastest evolution, T4 has stabilizer and better battery. However, to take pictures, the T2 remains a still very valid machine, it can do practically any kind, it never gives up, it has a good AF even if it does not have Eye AF-C and real tracking, the times up to 15 ', the sensor is still among the best APS-C, the viewfinder a window, tropicalization, each function has a manual control, double slots, good burst. In short, in 2021 a T2 still manages to be not only valid but also suitable for working professionally, it also has a good detox function, it forces you to use the AF with the single point or expanded area, to move with the joystick, not having advanced AF algorithms does not do everything but there is still a need for the photographer's hand, lately I find it a healthy thing and that does not limit me, it only fights the laziness that often afflicted me when I used some competitors with the sniper's eye AF. The lack of the stabilizer I do not put it as a con, it is a feature that I consider useful only with the canvases, practically always already stabilized of them, I suffer the absence only with 90. Last thing, with Fuji I have colors in the sunset that I have not been able to match with any other machine, even with the same Cobalt profile on (various) Sony A7, Nikon Z, Canon R, Olympus I have always found skies at sunset / sunrise increasingly washed out and close to the limit of the lights. In fact, with the viewfinder preview of Fuji I have always caught the ETTR without ever breaking through the highlights, with the others instead I often came to break through the whites when I opened the photos to the PC.

viltrox_af33_f1-4Viltrox AF 33mm f/1.4

Pros: Price, AF, construction, yield, character

Cons: AC, declied diaphragm ring

Opinion: This is a lens mr., some of the best I've ever had. It has optical defects such as AC, a bit to tame in some situations because the purple halo is annoying but all in all manageable and when there are the correction profiles specific to LR it will no longer be even a thought, otherwise it is the price to pay to have a lens with CHARACTER, which in 2020 is almost difficult as there are too many sharp lenses but without microcontrast or hypercorrect that are eventually flat. In addition it is very sharp, the AF is fast, quiet and reliable even in tracking, built very well and entirely made of metal, even the lampshed, the blurry is soft and buttery. In short, for less than 300€ on Amazon you take home a "fifty" but of the tough ones, with some defects but with a really remarkable yield. I didn't just understand something from Viltrox, why do clickless diaphragm rings when the opening is still jerky because it's electronic? You lose tactile feedback this way and you always have to check the value.

samyang_af75_f1-8feSamyang 75mm f/1.8 AF

Pros: Lightness, micro-contract, AF, dial that can be used for opening change

Cons: I don't find any, maybe a little flare in brutal situations

Opinion: Very light, very cheap, very sharp. I had the Sony 85 1.8, the overall yield never convinced me, I found it... Tasteless. I bought this Samyang and the AF goes really well, equal to a fast native, I use it on A7III and I made pure bursts in HI' chasing the fast moving subject. The microcontract is high, the images are crispy and sharp, keeping a really beautiful, soft and gradual bokeh, it does not even go into crisis in the light points in the middle of the vegetation. The color stamp is a bit warm, it does not seem to me that closes the shadows, maintains a balanced contrast. I filled the gallery with photos in HD, I think they can talk more than I can ever say, honestly it's a must have.

sony_a7iiiSony A7 III

Pros: Sensor, burst, AF, EYE AF, all customizable, lightweight, endless lens park, Joystick

Cons: Scope could be better, ibis improveable, weather tracking, slow ignition, lack of switch on the body

Opinion: It's a great machine, it's an entry level only in the name: joystick, double slot, large and sufficient viewfinder (although not excellent), good burst, endless buffer, great AF, eye AF prodigious, a sensor that tolerates everything, but has its beautiful flaws. For example tracking is far from real time tracking that came out shortly after, the various AF areas are not modifiable, the shutter if left in full mechanical some vibration the da, the AF is great but suffers a little low lights, lacks the switch AF/AFC/MF and drive, in ignition if it takes comfortable with 2 seconds full, while emptying the buffer the menu is blocked and the ices are improved... Many but small things on which other brands take care of the details... But when you use it is a means of war, very fast and reliable, according to DXO is the best FF in ISO resistance, it can do any kind of photographic, the lenses of the system are exterminated and practically all very good, on the other hand they are new conception, there are real pearls even on the third parties. The battery lasts a lifetime, when it hooks the human or animal subject no longer loses it, besides they are the only ones who have realized that giving this function to a key is much better, it activates only when it is needed. I consider it a camera for capable people, who know what they want, it is a moment to profile on C1/LR (Raamiel) and it is not instinctive to use, you have to remember the functions and what you have assigned to the keys, need to say that there are valuable glasses, take it with ciffoni does not make sense, buy an economic APSC otherwise, it is always a means of almost 2 thousand euros and it is worth them.

sony_fe24_f1-4Sony FE 24mm f/1.4 GM

Pros: All

Cons: I can't find any

Opinion: It's the perfect optics, a 1.4 that weighs 4 ects, monstre resolution, instant AF, diaphragms ring, built very well... At 1.4 he splits the hair with a sweet vignette, at 5.6 solves anything from board to board, has a right contrast lights/shadows, on 24 mpx never pulled out AC obvious, I used it on the snow, under the sun, under the stars, wind, sand... He has never made a crease, he has a very low coma at 1.4, it means photographing the Milky Way at TA without the slightest noise and lifting the exposure of the ground without having to double click... Pure science fiction until very soon. It's also an incredible portrait weapon, a wide with a huge bokeh, it doesn't undo the background like a 135 but makes it suffused, readable but extremely soft. It is a lens that alone is worth the system and could even be enough as the only lens (I pair a 75) because as I say since the 16 fuji, the wide 1.4 is the real all-rounder

fujifilm_50-140wrFujifilm XF 50-140mm f/2.8 R LM OIS WR

Pros: Sharpness, colors, AF speed, robustness, brightness, weight

Cons: The kidney given for having it, effect maracas with off optics, energetic

Opinion: I waited a month to write the review, I tried it on 3 different Fuji, under different conditions: macro, sports, portrait. He collected the baton of the 90 F2, very heavy legacy, for me the best Fuji optics there is, this is "just a zoom"... And the F2.8 you could almost say it's dark! Well, we have an AF https://we.tl/t-g4n3hkv1b9?src=dnl, a macro sharpness, a range of focals really so versatile, a weight of 1 KG that is very acceptable, it is the classic professional lens that brings home every day the loaf, made crystal clear, reliable, in any condition.... Almost boring so much that he catches us! But that 140 2.8 from magic to portrait photos, detaches like the 56 but with the sharpness (almost) of the 90 and the flexibility of a zoom. Of course less light comes in but with a TT350 godox you solve anything for sunset shots. For events/sports/theatre is the really definitive weapon, in addition its resolution will allow you to clean the noise in posts even at VERY high ISOs without losing too much detail. The cost is very salty but it actually applies, by off the electromagnetic motors come off, so it starts to pebble like a maracas as soon as you shake it. I use it on X-H1, every now and then with BG, the energy demand is similar to that of a Boeing 747, between stabilization and AF (if you aim at the minimum distance of MAF and then infinity moves so strongly the lenses that it seems to vibrate), then prepare the usual 24-25 spare batteries. In combination with the 16-55 you turn the world and there is no scene in the sun/dark/in rain/freeze that you will not be able to photograph... Well! From National Geographic, package photographer (I) permitting. P.s. holds 2 macro tubes as if it were fresh water.

fujifilm_60macroFujifilm XF 60mm f/2.4 R Macro

Pros: Yield, sharpness, weight ratio cluttered, blurred, colors

Cons: Af

Opinion: If he had a usable AF it would be the best Fuji optics! It has a yield on every kind of beautiful subject, it knows to be ultra-sharp but have a beautiful blur, perhaps the most beautiful of Fuji's house, with colors that have only the trio of wonders (18-35-60) and a general rendering that makes you look at the photo and say... Beautiful! The only problem is that what you focus on has to be stationary, still, collaborative, in some ways it's more frustrating than an MF optics!

fujifilm_xf50_f2wrFujifilm XF 50mm f/2 R WR

Pros: Perfect

Cons: Perfect

Opinion: This optic in some ways is the best I have ever tried, microscopic, AF lightning fast, contrasted the right, beautiful bokeh, sharp, tropicalized, beautiful colors, has no optical defects. Is... Analytical, too, is a 90 miniature, compared to the latter however focal and opening do not make "magical" the photo, so with 50 you are very much in the real world and you have to study the background well and set the subject. In landscape instead is an intercontinental ballistic missile, I have a 30x45 print of Rocca Calascio in which you count the blades of grass with beautiful colors at sunset.

fujifilm_56_f1-2Fujifilm XF 56mm f/1.2 R

Pros: Painting yield for APSC, well-readable shadows, blurred

Cons: Aberrations, flare, sharpness, AF

Opinion: I had taken it especially for full-length portraits to decently detach the subject to TA. I returned it after 2 weeks, I gave it every chance but it's not for me. The sharpness at 1.2 is insufficient, even at F2 is literally humiliated by the small 50, the AF is embarrassing in continuous, it goes discreetly only in singles. The merits are a good shadow reading and the soft blurry, sincerely after trying the 90 I was literally shocked and I took that, play another sport!

Pros: Light, well built

Cons: A lot...

Opinion: Let's be precise, this lens is described as one of the best targets of Fuji's X system, compared even to the various F4 of the FF, if it plays right with the 24-105/120 old canikon that... They're embarrassing of them. The 18-55 is nothing more than a kit lens, overrated, soft, without microcontrast, spherical aberration that causes Blur's problems, uncertainties of AF, someone compares it to 16-55, clash in which he comes out with broken legs... Even at surrender, despite the stoppage of advantage, it also beats the 16-50 that has the same "difficult" contrast with closed shadows, construction inlow but solves really well and has no problems of Blur, with the money saved we come out much of the 35 1.4 that could really teach what a beautiful photo is!

fujifilm_23_f2wrFujifilm XF 23mm f/2 R WR

Pros: Fast, mini, tropicalized, colors

Cons: Flat yield

Opinion: It has many qualities but only one big flaw, the flat rendering. It seems to lack microcontrast, the sharpness is there sufficiently and well distributed on the frame, without excelling, but it lacks that "hard outline" of Fuji lenses, that sharp and three-dimensional yield that have the 14, 35, 50, 90, 16-55 and other lenses of the X system, The good thing is that it is in high demand in the second-hand market, I have no regrets about it at all. The 18 for example is much more "alive" and manages to better detach the subjects despite the same diaphragm and the minor focal, I hoped that the 23 was suitable for the landscapes but I found it poor even on the distance.

Pros: Nitid (fearful MTFs), microcontrast to iosa, correct, beautiful colors, small, light

Cons: It looks like a loser compared to 1.4 :D

Opinion: A 20 that solves whatever is in the frame, is not a flash of AF, tends to have hunting, but on this focal I would say that it is fine, the perfect measure of brightness, does not suffer anything, goes in the pocket (along with the 35 1.4 around the world) , brings home the result in the best way. There's no need to say anything else, buy it. Compared to 16-23-56 it looks small and ugly but when the game gets tough... There it is! It's a sharp blade, it surprises me every time I open a shot, it solves every mm of the sensor to the maximum.

fujifilm_xf90_f2wrFujifilm XF 90mm f/2 R LM WR

Pros: Heart-pounding MTF, unreal correction, instant AF, tropicalized, minimum distance MAF excellent, buttery bokeh

Cons: Create dependency

Opinion: Despite having no flaws, it can not be said that it has no character, every photo with this lens... Speaks! At TA is engraved and micro-contrasted to the excess, closing the diaphragm only serves to increase the focus part of the frame. Despite this surplus definition the bokeh is always perfectly soft and buttery, never dreamlike as certain 1.2 FF lenses but clouds what lies around the subject even in full figure, maintaining a definition on the parts in almost unreal focus. It's the best optician I've ever had, on the H1 it's gruel and crap, you never want to disassemble it because it disrespects valuable optics and it's so fast that it's good for sport.

fujifilm_16-55_f2-8wrFujifilm XF 16-55mm f/2.8 R LM WR

Pros: Sharpness, microcontrast, MAF speed, non-existent AC, PRO construction, great quality to any diaphragm, focal and frame area

Cons: No IS, size for almost all Fuji bodies

Opinion: It is the ultimate lens in the standard APS-C zooms. My reference has so far been the Nikkor 17-55, this is even sharper at TA and more correct. As long as you do not use some fixed first 1.4-1.2 in a controlled environment, because they are very slow compared to 16-55, it makes no sense to turn with 2-3 fixed instead of just this lens, the results are often better and the weight is equal, without even changing Lens. The real problem is in size, most Fuji bodysuits are a can of tuna, I only took it by switching to X-H1, the body that enhances it by giving it stabilization, but also an excellent grip, on the T2 to use it easily I needed the grip Additional. It has discrete Macro abilities, it's lightning, the definition that allowed me to shoot absurd ISO sports but preserving the detail even to stratospheric sensibilities, the AF does not spring, it is a rock, you can travel the world and it's fine for the Milky Way because even if it has u n bit of distortion at 16, has no coma. I had 24-70 F4 IS and 24-105L on dear FF bodies and did not have in the least the performance of this optics. I'm very curious to try the 50-140. P.s. who compares it with 18-55 has never really taken it in his hand, one is a great optics... Kit! With all the limitations starting with spherical aberration, AF limits and construction, the 16-55 is a full-fledged pro lens and there's ALWAYS.

fujifilm_x-h1Fujifilm X-H1

Pros: Good AF, burst, sensor, stabilization, ergonomics, top display, truly resolute EVF

Cons: Required BG for events given the non-flagship battery life, continuous background noise, FP not up to par

Opinion: Bought by Fotoema at a paltry price after having had both X-T2 and X-T30, precise that I use the AFC but not tracking, use or single point or 3x3 grid and compose the action with the joystick, I saw a slight improvement compared to the T2 even if it does not reach The performance of T3, however with fast optics the difference is almost nothing, the big advantage of the T3 is with the old ones. I used it at the end of the week, portrait, an event, landscape, I start by saying that it was a forced choice, first of all I wanted a BG for the T2, new costs 200 euros, with 300 euros instead I gave back the T2 and bought the H1 with BG and 3 batteries! Second thing I use unstabilized and bulky optics, 16-55 and 90. Well, the H1 with these lenses is simply sublime, well balanced, goodbye micromove, AF very fast and very reliable, image quality really at high levels, compared to the others using it you feel the aura from flagship, really ergonomic and pulsating grip with a mortized shutter are really appreciable finesses, they have also improved the arrangement of the keys and their shape. It's made to work, I'm a photoamateur but using it makes you understand what a tool is to get the result. The stabilizer is good but not exceptional, allows 3 stops to the maximum, forget the shots of 1 second freehand, already with the 16-55 if you are not careful may not be enough 1/15, obvious micromove penalty and with this dense sensor and without AA filter... You can see everything just zoom me a little! The flaws relate to Fuji autonomy, in the sense, it's average Fuji, ok, people there around the world, but given the bigger grip, you could even double the batteries. The machine then has 2 processors, from on makes noise, both with the stabilizer off and on, strange, very strange! Fp Fuji remained at the X-PRO1, unreliable, after appreciating that of the S1 Panasonic, Fuji is really behind. Fuji, if you read us, make a final firmware update to this noble beast, put the functions you added on the PRO3 as HDR and multiple exposure to 9 shots, maybe giving the last pump edout to the AF algorithms! I after long wandering I will stop a little with her, I also made the warranty extension!

canon_eos_rpCanon EOS RP

Pros: Light, intuitive, good AF, much better file than 6D, cheap, goodbye F/B focus problems

Cons: AF control not at maximum, volley lent

Opinion: Paid 1200 with physical store adapter, a new and fully usable FF for anything but sport and birdlife. The sensor I see much improved compared to the first 6D, there is much less noise in the shadows and zero chromatic noise. The AF is responsive especially in single point, EYE AF still to be improved but I almost always use the single spot point. Finally you can use sigma art or L 1.2 without focused patemi, if it is green it is perfect. I'm using her in every area, portrait, reportage, landscape, she's always there. The biggest flaw is in the management of af points, they are too many to select with the pad, so if you want to be fast you have to use the excellent touch, too bad that the day you have wet or dirty hands... It's not going to work. I hope for a firmware update that reduces the AF points on demand, so you can quickly go with the pad from side to side. Excellent functions of HDR in room, programmable bulb, focus stacking.

fujifilm_35mmFujifilm XF 35mm f/1.4 R

Pros: Sharpness, weight, construction, general yield

Cons: It works really well only with X-T3 and later

Opinion: I had this optics twice, the first disappointing one on the X-T20, now love has sprung up on the X-T30. We have a very light glass that has high optical qualities, sharp, great flat deadlift, microcontrast, colors, too bad that on the old fuji is an unreliable grinder, on the X-T3 and T30 (and the next ones that will come) is simply a sniper, instant, not never makes mistakes, not even at 20 FPS at TA AFC. On human subjects is simply to have, portrait killer lens with a character of its own! Update: Even on X-H1 says its, compared to the X-T2 has much less uncertainty, there remains some problem with difficult light situations compared to the X-T3 but it is... Reliable

fujifilm_xt30Fujifilm X-T30

Pros: AF really fast, file, general reactivity, burst with 20 FPS without crop, optical system, color profiles, joystick

Cons: Ergonomics, needed Eyecup Tekiac's X-T3 and Meike grip taller and with grip. Fuji Classic batteries from low-life, mediocre buffer about 20 shots with the 90 MB/s Extreme Pro in writing

Opinion: It's been a long time since I expected, after X-T20 and X-E2 finally a Fuji... Fast! The single and area are instantaneous, you can finally use only in AF-C like the Sony, it has revived even the 35 1.4 so that you can shoot to TA pure things moved, she hooks. Eye AF almost at the Sony level, the joystick is needed. I prefer the files compared to the previous sensor, more neutral to color, more natural, I have not noticed any improvement in the technology BSI. She and X-T3 are the first really mature products that Fuji has baked, use for the iridient X-Transformers Demosaic and then work the DNG on LR, excellent results with various Fuji color profiles to choose from on the file. Grip and Eyecup for me indispensable, in sports photography by satisfaction, arrives at 30 FPS in crop 1.25, a lot of brute force only serves at special moments, I'm using 10 fps without blackout in the viewfinder, often JPEG to have a nice long buffer (90 shots Almost), fortunately that by setting in the car the JPEG comes out already... Hello. I highly recommend buying after test, it's always an APS-C, who has a FF not looking for better quality with half less sensor...

nikon_17-55_f2-8dxNikon AF-S DX 17-55mm f/2.8 G ED

Pros: Macrocontrast, sharpness, AF, construction, colors

Cons: A little bit of AC, it costs a kidney, weight

Opinion: This is along with the Canon 70-200 2.8 The best zoom lens ever had, it makes the Nikon DX sensor excellent. It Has a very capillary yield, warm colors, all the features of what you resume have repercussions with an unusual sharpness and three-dimensionality for a zoom. Who says that at 2.8 is soft broke it or Starato, is well sharp and contrasted, keeping a good reading shadows, reaches the peak at 5.6, is fine even in landscaping. Heavy, over 800g, Comrie is built a tank, however every time I see what I strive to convince me to leave it on the nozzle. The AF is never wrong, only thing a bit ' of purple AC, in post take off with a click. If you can afford it is to buy.

nikon_d7500Nikon D7500

Pros: Lightweight, ergonomic, fast, reliable

Cons: Really no One

Opinion: I Come from D7000 and D7200, this however resembles the D500 with its triptych sensor-lightmeter-processor has very different reactions from all the 7xxx that are slower. The first thing you notice is that the fire or exposure scraps go close to zero, while the 7200 to 1.8 in AF-C was not perfect, this instead makes a sequence of 47 shots at 8 FPS before stopping and the photos are almost all good , the AF then confirms a nice improvement, very fast and accurate. Tends slightly to Underexpose, but consistently, the precedents instead were more unpredictable and tended to burn the lights. The sensor is Sony, great recoveri and mpx right, ISO resistance to record. In Live View has the recognition faces, functional as the Fuji of a couple of years ago, touch to focus and articulated, unnecessary tune the auto AF. They Have improved the grip a little, it is better held in hand. It Is an extremely reliable medium and has a good speed, always brings home the result, using good optics come out excellent results. Of BG and second slot I don't know what to do with the previous ones I didn't use.

nikon_d7200Nikon D7200

Pros: Sensor, good AF, complete machine

Cons: Light Meter, Burst

Opinion: Excellent Photographic Medium, has an excellent sensor, really strong retrieves, great detail and allows you to always have a balanced exposure pulling out all the colors of the scene. The AF is great for the camera type, very reliable and fast, it sins like burst, at the limit of the sufficiency with a limited buffer. The light meter in strong contrasts goes crazy, forcing you to use either the spot point or the LV, practically tends to always overexpose if you have an illuminated sky, burning it completely to safeguard the parts in the shade... That would still recover very well if totally subjected. I would have kept it but I had dirt problems at the sensor, I ordered a D7500.

fujifilm_18mmFujifilm XF 18mm f/2 R

Pros: character, size, performance

Cons: No one for the lens that is

Opinion: With €300 in the used you bring home an exceptional lens. At F2 it is a soft thread for a Fuji lens, closed by one stop it affects decisively. The lens has character, has three-dimensionality, has a beautiful color rendition, I found it valid in landscaping but becomes excellent when it frames a human. It is part of the trio of Wonders (18 F2-35 F 1.4-60 macro) with which a Fuji system is worthy of being bought, with that their clean rendering that together with the 16 MPX sensor is unique. It is also tiny, a must have.

fujifilm_xe2Fujifilm X-E2

Pros: Beautiful, well built, great rows, complete and simple

Cons: Slow

Opinion: Let's start by saying that it has a very good construction, I have a specimen equal to the new one and I will see how it will hold up time. In AF-S in is perfect, in AF-C it is ridiculous, in manual the focus peaking is not much, I prefer to use the viewfinder magnification. It's slow in shots, it takes seconds to save and the buffering itself fills up in a second, despite the fast SDused used. But to use is very funny, also produces "analog" files, I had the X-T20 and it was much more "dense and digital" as a rendering, the X-E2 has a really different stamp, clean, candid but detailed images and with a lot of dynamic range, here the x-trans shows its character and with the latest lightrooms you work very well. To buy only if you know what you are looking for, it does everything but it is not instantaneous, it pays off with so much quality.

canon_70-200_f2-8isCanon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM

Pros: Sharp, stabilized, robust, does not extend zooming, colors, AF

Cons: Weight, kidney to be given away to have it

Opinion: I had the smooth, excellent version, given away to some fixed including the 100l and went back to the 70-200 2.8... Is gentlemen this is the lens, the one you need to have in outfit without any doubt! I read that it is not as sharp as the smooth, but I find them really equivalent and both to the height of the 100 L macro is, which makes me suspect of variability of specimens, I want to point out that I bought them both in the center canon and both I did do AF calibration, to get snipers. Sharpness at the top apart from giving unique colors, warm, deep, vibrant, excellent out of the planes, fast AF, tropicalization, certainty of the result every time you shoot... Its qualitative stamp is always present, at all focal lengths, you will always take the shot at home. Only cons is the weight... 1.5 kg of glass are many, I decided that I prefer to bring those kg rather than lose a photo, the is on this lens is indispensable, I shoot at 1/60 freehand to 200, all clear without micro-blur, I would say evidence widely exceeded! Sooner or later I'll switch to the is II version, for simple upgrade, but this is already a really high level.

canon_efs_17-55_f2-8Canon EF-S 17-55mm f/2.8 IS USM

Pros: AF USM, capillary sharpness, brightness, focal range

Cons: Chilly colours, tropicalization

Opinion: is the best standard zoom lens ever produced by Canon, fast, reliable, stabilised and amazingly sharp. On FF There is no fee, the 24-70 F4 is is much more modest and problematic, the 2.8 II has the same "stamp" but is not stabilized, was the reason for my return to APS-C! The flaws are in the lack of tropicalization (it's a professional canon zoom, it deserves the L) and the colest colors compared to the other canon. For those who say that it is a vacuum cleaner advice to have it cleaned every couple of years, we spend thousands of bodies and optics and then we lose ourselves for 4 pieces of maintenance to keep the stuff in order or to make it calibrate, however they are the second specimen and no problem of PO Lvere, in case I just put a filter. No home produces an equal, it's the definitive lens, it will sell you many close focal lenses.

canon_6dCanon 6D

Pros: Light, fast, image quality, amazing power house, value for money

Cons: Af in the sides, display meter, chromatic noise in the shadows

Opinion: It is the machine of the amateur, I use it mainly for portraits and landscape, in the fast you have to have a little (so) malice to use only the central in AISERVO, but for sports photos I have a 7D. The image quality is good, it generates files that I like very much, does not save from wrong exposures but allows for decent recoveries. The AF in the central is great - 3 EV, in the sides works above f2 and in good light conditions but still I prefer to recompose almost always and the photos of portraits in the gallery tell me that it works, of course it is a compromise and there are scraps At the price that is now of FF there is nothing better but by spending a little more you will file the defects.

canon_7dCanon 7D

Pros: Af, burst, joystick, robustness, operating speed

Cons: For the camera type none real but it's not for everyone, I've encountered a little precise AWB and the AF should be able to tame along with the sensor. The dynamic range is from (old) canon, little!

Opinion: Bought in conjunction with a 6d, despite being a machine of 2009 still churf out beautiful files even if with a FF uploads to other results. It is a point of arrival, a neocyte you could only collide and lose, the AF must be understood and learned the manual by heart to set it as it should, the sensor is the really difficult part. It tends to be exposed every photo to the right, the recovery has it but you always have to overexpose a bit, also it is noisy and contrased of its, if you want a photo really clean a minimum of NR with Lightroom always goes, however I brought home great shots at 3200 ISO , knowing how to exhibit is fine but... Do not forgive! But well aware of its characteristics is a tireless means that always brings home the result, still deserves to be chosen today.
