canon_28_f1-8Canon EF 28mm f/1.8 USM

Pros: Lightweight, compact, af, diaphragm, quality as soon as you close the diaphragm a little.

Cons: A little soft at full opening especially at the edges.

Opinion: Personally I consider it an excellent lens, light, compact and with fast and precise focusing. In my opinion the best fixed lens "all-rounder" is the classic 35mm or at most a 40mm, alternatively, there can be the 28mm or even better the torque 28/50 to have more opportunities in general. The 28 to keep up mainly, the 50 to use when you need to have a more interpretative image or when you need to isolate the subject a little more. The proportions it returns are similar to those of the 35, for subjects within a certain distance the difference is one or two steps at most, for distant subjects obviously the frame is wider, so it is a few more steps, if possible, otherwise it is cropped in development. This 28 in size and weight is similar to the 50 1.4, calculate that you can mount one in the car and the other keep it in your pocket quietly, they are light, compact, bright, have an excellent af taking into account that they are not L series and slightly closing the aperture sharpness increases considerably. I often use them when the light starts to run low and I want to turn light during the services, if I do not need to have the zoom L 2.8 mounted, I use the 28 on one body and the 50 on the other, or the 28 on a body and the 50 in my pocket ... you do practically everything (where you do not need the canvas of course). In conclusion, excellent lens, I can only recommend it 100%.

lowepro_slingshot202awLowepro SlingShot 202 AW

Pros: Comfortable, compact, "fast", modular, quality.

Cons: Nothing.

Opinion: Great backpack when you have little equipment to carry and when you need comfort and speed. I use it mainly for simple photojournalistic services, usually I put a 5d body with 24-105, a flash if needed and / or a small fixed (always if needed), the spaces for notes, phones and other various objects remain. The build quality is excellent, lowepro is a guarantee from this point of view. The backpack is modular, so you can add other compartments or external accessories if necessary. Nothing to say, highly recommended, then consider that those who need an even more compact backpack can turn on the 102 and vice versa that needs something more spacious can go on the 302. I definitely recommend it.

canon_50_f1-4Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM

Pros: Almost everything!

Cons: Only the price (today) and the construction not really excellent.

Opinion: I see a lot of negative reviews but honestly it is a lens that I have always used with satisfaction, it is small, light, f1.4 and the yield is more than good, just a little soft at full aperture. I am at the third specimen in my life, never had problems, the others I have destroyed in various ways unfortunately. The autofocus to tell the truth has never given me trouble, even in conditions of very low light with moving subjects and at full aperture, I have always failed very few shots, ok, always used with bodies of the 5d or 1d series is true, but it has never really given me problems. The only negative note is the construction, in my opinion a little more quality would not hurt ... and the price of the new to date, calculating how much I paid a few years ago the last specimen ... but considering the used round, I think you find some good offers around. Surely it is a lens that I recommend, I repeat, small, light and a more than good yield ... without forgetting that it has a diaphragm 1.4. Those who do not want to spend like this, can go on the 1.8, very comfortable even that and is in a pocket.

canon_24-105Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM

Pros: Use, quality, af, comfort, construction and weight.

Cons: A little soft at full aperture compared to the 24-70 canon.

Opinion: In my opinion it is a very good lens, I see many negative reviews but if we take it for what was born, you can not complain. It has a focal range ranging from wide angle to telephoto, a good aperture, a good build quality, the yield in terms of quality is not at the levels of the upper L series but cmq good, plus it has a stabilizer that is not great but cmq helps ... without forgetting weights and dimensions certainly better than the 24-70 2.8. I am a happy owner, I use it mainly for photojournalistic services and it is of an extraordinary convenience ... a body, a lens, a flash at the belt (if needed) and a small fixed in the pocket (in case it was needed) and I am calm. As for the quality of the yield, I will have been lucky but I certainly can not complain ... and when I need the top I leave it at home and use the 24-70 2.8. Highly recommended!

canon_100-400iiCanon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM II

Pros: All without exception!

Cons: Nothing!

Opinion: Great lens, great tele all do. If you work in situations of adequate brightness, it is his death. I use it mainly for sports, it is not excessively heavy and bulky, we are about equal to a 70-200 2.8, even when the barrel is completely out, it does not unbalance too much. Quite another thing than its predecessor (pompone) that with the barrel out became an unbalanced brick out of measure. The step forward in terms of yield is enormous, even the stabilizer works really well finally, vignette a bit 'at full aperture and / or on longer focal lengths but the result is not bad to tell the truth ... and cmq correctable in two clicks to the pc ... or directly in the camera if you shoot in jpeg. Definitely recommended!!

canon_ef11-24_f4lCanon EF 11-24mm f/4 L USM

Pros: Everything but the weight.

Cons: Weight.

Opinion: Exceptional lens, I use it for interior photography / furniture / architecture. Canon has done an excellent job, the build quality is excellent, the yield of the lens also, already at full aperture (except for a little vignetting). The distortion is exceptionally minimal and in any case lower than the old 24-70 or 24-105, in backlight not from big problems considering the extreme focal length, just a few small tricks. I have also used it for sports in some events, extreme lens and therefore not very easy to exploit, but if used well it can give truly spectacular results. Only negative note in my opinion, the weight, I certainly have no problems (yet) to carry around kilos and kilos of equipment ... but this "little one" is a nice brick, more than anything else obviously not having the bracket like the canvases, when you carry it over the shoulder, the body is not well balanced and this a little disturbs. However, it remains a great lens, wonderful from all points of view!

sandisk_extreme_pro_sdxc64gb_170mbs

Pros: Good card and reliable!

Cons: Nothing!

Opinion: Excellent card, fast and reliable, always used on 5d mark iv, 5d mark iii and 7d mark ii, excellent speed even shooting in raw, reliability and durability, san disk is a guarantee. To report the really good price on some online sites. Usually I use them in conjunction with cf always extreme pro, as a second copy raw or jpeg ... or as a single card. Also great for videos, I use 5d mark iv, 5d mark iii and 7d mark ii, no problem!

lowepro_protactic450awLowepro ProTactic 450 AW

Pros: Great in almost everything, sturdy and well done.

Cons: Only the inner top.

Opinion: Great backpack, good value for money. The quality of Lowepro is not disputed, the backpack is well made and well studied, robust but not too bulky and heavy, despite the internal space is really a lot. Many accessories available already at purchase or later, modular, so you can constantly update and add "stuff". The only thing I don't particularly like is the inner upper part, which in the part that joins the backrest, forms a slight curvature that is a bit uncomfortable and takes away space ... obviously made for design reasons... but honestly even if it had had a slightly more square shape in that part I would not have worried. Excellent and highly recommended!

hoya_prond64Hoya ProND64

Pros: All

Cons: Nothing

Opinion: Excellent filter as Hoya has accustomed us, good quality / price ratio, the yield is good, the dominant light and easily correctable, usable also together with other slim filters if you do not use wide angles pushed. You can safely use it in broad daylight to remove a few stops using open apertures with a lot of light, or for the usual effects in the urban and natural landscape, for more pushed effects I recommend a big stopper ... having it coupled with an nd16 for example you can instead also use together to further increase the effects produced.

hoya_prond16Hoya ProND16

Pros: Overall quality, construction and yield.

Cons: Nothing.

Opinion: Excellent filter as Hoya has accustomed us, good quality / price ratio, the yield is good, the dominant light and easily correctable, usable also together with other slim filters if you do not use wide angles pushed. You can safely use it to remove a few stops using open apertures with a lot of light, or for the usual effects in the urban and natural landscape, for more pushed effects I recommend maybe starting from an nd64 ... having both you can also use them together to further increase the effects produced.

lowepro_magnum400awLowepro Magnum 400 AW

Pros: Quality, capacity, customization.

Cons: Magazine notebook / tablet.

Opinion: A well-made camera bag, moreover, the quality of Lowepro not discussed. Very roomy, customizable internally ... and if you wish, you can add external enclosures, the same Lowepro or other brands. It includes a rain cover, an opening for attaching to a trolley and a padded case for sd cards, and more. I would say that as a bag of large bulky equipment transport, it is perfect. Only thing missing one notebook suitable partition ... but it's not a problem, you can fit it on top of the equipment if desired, maybe (recommended) with a soft case. For a possible tablet, as the 10 "we are comfortably in the front pocket. A warning, when it is full, full full, it weighs a lot, so who has trouble back / legs / shoulders / neck, forget it, better a trolley or a backpack .

lowepro_flipside_400awLowepro Flipside 400 AW

Pros: Construction, strength, comfort, anti-theft pocket, capacity, customizable.

Cons: Transportation of bulky tripod.

Opinion: Great bag, pocket theft on the back is perfect, you can rotate the backpack without disengage completely and extract the contents safely. Has other pockets for accessories, the capacity is good and it is also quite robust. Comodo also incorporated the rainfly that is extracted in a second and wraps around the backpack. Great for me for walks and trekking. Only negative, if we transport heavy and bulky tripod (type Manfrotto 055 XPROB) the holder is not the maximum, the tripod is not nice fitting backpack and swings a little in the long run, creating a little 'imbalance.

hoya_pro1_circular_polarizerHoya Pro1 Circular Polarizer

Pros: Thin, overall quality, robustness.

Cons: Anything.

Opinion: In my opinion, a great polarizing filter which nowadays is also cheap. The result of polarization is great, does not create special color casts, does not create vignetting even at wide angles and pushed the construction is very good. I use it with satisfaction on a number of Canon L series lenses and did not notice the quality of the final special decays.

sandisk_extreme_pro_cf32gb_160mbs

Pros: Speed, capacity and reliability.

Cons: Anything.

Opinion: Excellent CF card use on the 5D Mk III with satisfaction, never slowing down ... and the buffer is emptied very quickly when shooting bursts Raw. The capacity is more than ample, calculated that there are more than 1,000 raw (in 100iso). A card which I highly recommend, the brand is reliable. I have never calculated how many shots after the barrage starts to slow down, for the work that I do, I would say that at most arriving in bursts of 15-20 shots on occasion, never slowing.

manfrotto_498rc4Manfrotto 498 RC4

Pros: Construction, durability, friction, quick release.

Cons: Slight slip during tightening.

Opinion: Ball head strong, excellent construction and very versatile. The plate or quick release is just as robust. Coupled to 055XPROB you have a tripod solid, versatile and robust ... a rock with pro SLRs and lenses. Only flaw I noted at the time of tightening there is a slight slip, however is fairly easy to fix, just take into account when framing this slittameno ... and if we harden well for the clutch before the final tightening, the problem It is quite limited. In any case, apart from this little anomaly, a ball head that definitely recommend.

manfrotto_055xprobManfrotto 055 X PROB

Pros: Sturdy, solid, versatile.

Cons: Weight, size.

Opinion: There is little to say, a good tripod, solid, sturdy and versatile. At a price that is now hard to find better and we even built excellent manfrotto. To keep matters in a few seconds you set for every need. The only drawback, the weight and bulk ... but you can not have everything. Definitely recommended, it is a rock! Mated to a good strong head very rewarding.

canon_16-35_v2Canon EF 16-35mm f/2.8 L USM II

Pros: Clarity, versatility, contrast, color, construction, auto focus.

Cons: Edges apertures, distortion at short focal lengths.

Opinion: 16-35 This is a lens that I love, it has its flaws ... like some sharpness at the edges at the widest apertures and noticeable distortion with very short focal ... so definitely not a perfect lens, for those who love landscapes recommend the new f4 IS. On the other hand, however, also it has many strengths, excellent sharpness in the center and in the intermediate zones, focal very versatile, color rendering and contrast very good. The building is at the top, a tank ... and the auto focus is precise and immediate ... at last, a bright aperture. A goal born to reports and photojournalism sports and not, for these types is perfect without a doubt. I use it with satisfaction also during weddings and photographs style of architecture, interiors and landscapes, with a little 'of foresight and knowing the limits, you can take home excellent work in these fields, so I recommend it to big. When I needed to replace it, I was a bit 'undecided between this and the new f4 IS, I eventuallyI chose this again, mainly for the need of a diaphragm bright ... choice of which absolutely do not regret.

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

Pros: Sharpness, color, contrast, autofocus, built.

Cons: Anything.

Opinion: A 70-200 "historic", was the first L-series that I bought, I can only speak well. Excellent sharpness even at full aperture, a certain focal has a fabulous performance, a blade. The colors and contrast is excellent. Autofocus is a bomb, fast and accurate. I would say that the selling price of today is hard to find better, for those looking for stabilization can go on the SI II or search for an IS used. Here, if I have to find fault, I would rather say that maybe a tropicalization equal to the later models. For the rest, nothing to say the building remains at the top as we have become accustomed Canon.

canon_100_macroCanon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM

Pros: Sharpness, contrast, color, construction, light weight, price.

Cons: Anything.

Opinion: A 100mm mark great, I use it a lot and I can not find fault, the yield is good on FF and also on Aps-c. The 100mm focal have a ductile, can be used for different types of photography. The focus is internal, fast is very precise. The construction is good and all in all the lens is light enough. Goal that I can only recommend ... top! For those who in addition to all these positive features also want the stabilizer and weather sealing, the L series is ... point.

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

Pros: Sharpness, color, contrast, brightness, construction, auto focus, aperture.

Cons: Ergonomics, hood, distortion at 24mm.

Opinion: Great lens handyman bright. In circulation there are defects in the specimens with precision and sharpness of focus. My fortunately does not have these problems, so I can not recommend it because it is a really good lens! Construction, sharpness, color rendition and excellent contrast, even very good speed focusing. Only negatives, the distortion at 24mm the lens hood and almost as big as that of the 70-200 f2.8. Lastly, the ergonomics, to 24mm, the weight is unbalanced forward due barrel completely outside, with small cars and light becomes a little 'uncomfortable, in this his successor has definitely improved. For everything else, as I said before, I can not recommend it enough!

canon_5d3Canon 5D Mark III

Pros: Ergonomics, autofocus, image quality, dual memory slots.

Cons: II SD slot, viewfinder coverage uncomfortable.

Opinion: Definitely a great machine, as it always has been the series of 5 Canon, since the days of film. Construction and ergonomics at the top, an autofocus finally good of all, a sublime picture quality, which is maintained even at high sensitivities. A car is not perfect but it can be used in every field of photography with great satisfaction for those who can not afford (or want) the number 1, this is definitely the best alternative! The only two little things that personally I would have preferred, are the dual-slot CF and viewfinder cover equal to that of the first series, the rubber to be entered each time I always result uncomfortable and cumbersome. With these improvements and a burst of 8 shots would be perfect, in any case, as far as I'm concerned, I can only advise strongly!
