canon_1d3Canon 1D Mark III

Pros: Cost (in 2018), ruggedness, AF, speed, color rendering, pro functions, eternal battery

Cons: Resolution (2018), maximum ISO, jpg noise reduction, noisy shutter, low rear display

Opinion: Purchased in 2016 to be flanked by a 6d you have to make some considerations with respect to the historical period: it is a machine of 11 years ago (in 2018), the sensor is definitely passed with regard to resolution, dynamic range and sensitivity but has a color rendition Also beautiful in the room jpg. The noise is also very "analogue" and holds 1600 ISO with dignity. The 3200 are usable only if the light is abundant and you are looking for fast shutter speed. JPG's are of excellent quality as a general rendering, also for each format you can choose the compression level. Unfortunately the noise reduction in JPG is not adjustable and has a dated algorithm which can be limiting for pro use with direct sales. Raw almost "ready to use" especially with the latest Adobe profiles and however little manipulated for the reduced dynamic range. The AF relatively simple but very effective. High and customizable shutter speed in various modes, the shutter makes a beastly noise and there is no more silent shot to take into account during the ceremonies. AutoISO function is missing but given the reduced use range is not great lack. The light meter is always reliable and the viewfinder is large and bright, even more than some full frame although it is a small format. The APS-H format can be seen as a defect or a merit; It should be evaluated carefully because it does not have the crop effect of an APS-C and the post-shoot crop is limited by low resolution. The wide are slightly clipped and can not mount EF-S optics, so its ideal use is with normal, medium-tele and long tele to which you do not need to add crop. Sturdiness and Tropicalization are obviously from Series 1 as well as weight; The big battery lasts forever. From the rear display it is difficult to verify the actual focus for low resolution as well as white balance; Comes to help the viewfinder very accurate and a very reliable AWB. Conclusion: It has several competitors even in the used but at the current price is found little of this level, even with its cons. Attention to the choice of the used: the spare parts are low.

canon_135_f2Canon EF 135mm f/2.0 L USM

Pros: Sharpness, color, construction and of course blurred in a compact body

Cons: Absence of stabilizer makes certain critical situations, not tropicalized

Opinion: Had loved and then sold for necessità.rnÈ a great lens even without considering the price at which you can find in used, if purchased at a good price becomes a best buy.rnA f2.8 is a blade and aberrations and vignetting nearly disappear . A blurred f2 is great quantity and quality although very small HPs requires attention chirurgica.rnL'AF (limiter) is still very fast making it possible to use even for sports, especially on the bodies with saturated and crop.rnColori natural in all conditions, it is also excellent in the rendering of backlighting which loses contrast maintaining fine detail of high livello.rnLe dimensions are right for use on any machine body without BG.rnManca tropicalization and the absence of iS it requires some more attention when the light cala.rnDa take into account is that on the bodies with the crop safety times are close to the flash sync times, reducing the choice of parameters scatto.rn

canon_70-200_f2-8_v2Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS II USM

Pros: Quality of the highest level.

Cons: Flashy as a red Ferrari, heavy like any other 70 200 f2.8

Opinion: unnecessary review because there is little to write: it costs a lot, offers a lot. An impressive optical quality, very effective stabilizer and built-proof characteristics bomba.rnUniche negative for me is the fact that attracts attention making it difficult "low profile" approach, it weighs as much while also being well-balanced on bodies not serie1.rnUn instant AF, smooth braking rings but just enough and a great bag provided complete the features of this mule definitive work.

panasonic_lx100Panasonic Lumix LX100

Pros: Image quality for the dimensions, ergonomics and construction, electronic viewfinder of sufficient size, optical light and versatile relations with megapixel fixed sides image

Cons: Fixed display, the convenient automatic cap is sold as an optional EVF with rainbow effect, flash included not articulated, minimum distance of MAF with variable focal length and high enough (0.5m 75mm eq)

Opinion: A compact high quality. Bought a machine to always have on hand, joins a kit reflex.rnLa quality lens and sensor it is remarkable: it is nice and fuzzy superior to compact sensor with lower (F1.7-F2.8 lens of sensor 2.2x crop) .rnISO used with no or very low noise reduction up to 1600, you can go up to 6400 with some sacrifice in detail and colors. Still much better than the APS-C Canon few years fa.rnrnL'ergonomia is excellent: the handle is perfect for a car of this size, about small rises in front tire (for middle and ring) and rear (for the thumb ) that make the socket very salda.rnSono available the ring nut of the apertures on the lens, and a customizable (by me set zoom "jerky" that passes only for the longer focal used as if it had as many fixed lenses: 24, 28, 35, 50, 70 and 75), a shutter speed dial and exposure compensation, zoom lever around the shutter button, button fithers (useful but not essential) and the excellent iAuto button that basically takes the machine to a fully automatic mode if you need to give it to someone not accustomed to photography. Another pressure with all settings precedenti.rnSul rear wheel, directional button with ISO, WB, Drive and AF area, then button AF / AE lock can also be used as back-button-focus but not in the best position, a quick customizable menu and as many as 3 customizable buttons (which I set selection AF-S / AF-C selection shift AF area and exposure mode) .rnIn practice there to regret bodies SLR pro and semi-pro for direct access to functions .rnSaggia choosing not to add a dial mode (PASM) but to use dials and opening times to manage modalità.rnrnL'EVF is small compared to certain ML but fully usable, unfortunately the resolution is not very high and above is There is a rainbow effect being a form field scan. The rear display islarge and well resolved, unfortunately fixed but adjustable in 60fps mode (watch battery consumption) that allows a fluidity incredibile.rnrnL'AF is of contrasting but is surprisingly fast. Customizable single area (size and position adjustable on the fly with dial pad and back after pressure off switch), subject tracking, eye / face detection, auto area, pattern and customizable area single ridotta.rnLa MAF manual is easy thanks to the ring right sensitivity, the viewfinder magnification and focus peaking and video personalizzabile.rnrnRaffica not yet testati.rnrnNote mourners: the external flash is powerful and quite detached from the lens to avoid red eye, unfortunately the fixed position cancels the potential versatility of a ' outdoor unit making good only as fill-light and not as the main light (except using crock to divert and soften the light). A wasted opportunity to stand out from concorrenza.rnIl front cap & automatic flaggingI; very comfortable but the original is sold separately for more than 30 € and closes with filters montati.rnCi come to the aid of the Chinese clones that offer more ugly to see but at half the price and with the ability to keep mounted filters slim.rnrnLo stabilizer is present and keeping it always on you do not notice its presence until you look at the shooting data. However nothing miraculous than the concorrenza.rnrnBen designed functionality for selecting aspect ratios (3: 2, 4: 3, 16: 9) without losing Mpixel (except the ratio 1: 1 square offering about 9 Mpixel) seen the sensor is always croppato (2x the m4 / 3 to 12MPixel with 2.2x crop). Despite the lens does not cover the entire sensor m4 / 3 is not being exploited to the full vignetting is not obvious either in raw.rnrnLa minimum distance of MAF in "Macro" is about 30cm to the focal length 24mm (with little distortion) and salt until half a meter in 75mm equivalent. This allows pictures with a goodFuzzy f2.8 but it is not ideal for those piccoli.rnrnPer other functions present (curve adjustment for shadows / lights, number WB customizable, photo from video 4k) recommend you take a look at reviews online because despite being a machine easy to access thanks to the direct commands menu is vastissimo.rn

tamron_24-70_f2-8vcTamron 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD

Pros: Sharpness, good bokeh, light, stabilization, good construction, warranty.

Cons: Vignetting at f2.8, distortion at 24mm, AF microscopic ring, in case of problems and do not care 'to the level of Canon

Opinion: Mounted on 6D, return quality images: sharpness and 'remarkable, the fuzzy and nice contrast and colors buoni.rnLa construction, while making use of plastic for the body, and' quality, with the highlight of the seal around the bayonet and zoom.rnLa AF lock nut and 'really understaffed, excellent rather than Zoom, which rotates as the objectives Nikon.rnLo stabilizer and' very good, very little invasive intervention, it seems there is until you try disabling with time lunghi.rnConsiglio to disable it with a very fast way because it brings a little 'nitidezza.rnL' AF 'fast and generally reliable, occasionally enchants in critical condition more than other lenses in my possession, it is necessary to assess the 'coupled body-goal and the situation of light and contrast before talking about difetto.rnLa vignetting and' mind at f2.8 and the distortion and 'evident at 24mm but are present in marginal defects and objectives equivalenti.rnBen is the guarantee five years, I hope I do not need help because thePolyphoto service and not 'on the level of CS Canon.rnIn conclusion, I can say very happy with purchase. rn

manfrotto_055xprobManfrotto 055 X PROB

Pros: Robust, good price, minimum / maximum height, tilting system convenient column

Cons: Weight

Opinion: A sturdy tripod very affordable, thanks to the handy tilting system of the column passing of a few centimeters in height to nearly 1.80, making it practical as well as emergency stand. The quantity and quality of aluminum used are transformed into nearly 2 pounds, the only defect, you must go to stay light on carbon (€ € €) on the tripod or less robust.

canon_6dCanon 6D

Pros: Low weight, quality files, Full-frame to a relatively low cost, silent shutter even in normal mode, custom commands, lack of various scenes from the dial settings

Cons: Single slot, lack joystick

Opinion: Joins the faithful to 50D shots of various system genere.rnIl focus is primitive when compared to the 5D3 but compared to the 5D2 is already a big step forward: the central very sensitive and good side, they lose shots only subjects with little contrast . rnQuello missing are the intersection points of the third frame for use with the large aperture lenses without ricomporre.rnIn AI-Servo with automatic selection of the operating points is very good and you can adjust the system according to the type of movement to follow (not like the 5D3 but you can get significant differences with the different settings). RNLA quality of the files is now well known, coming from un'APS-C dated (but also of the last generation), the difference is huge, so as the viewfinder is huge and bright. Excellent opportunity to mount slides diversi.rnL 'shutter to 1/4000 for now there is a limit because I rarely shot under the bright light of the sun at all apertura.rnE' can customize the commands sopperendo to the lack of dedicated button for flash compensation (set it to SET), you can also use the button to preview the depth of field to temporarily switch to AI Servo to One Shot and vice versa: a large comodità.rnUtili GPS functions Wi-fi: the first great for travel, according to the study by viewing photos directly on your PC or tablet (only jpg, with the Raw is really too slow). RNLA unnecessary scene presets are grouped under a single voice on the mode dial settings by leaving it free from unused più.rnPer heavy usage is not serious lack of joystick because the pad is easily accessible even if a little 'spongy. Too bad for the lack of the second slot with wifi backup even if you can make a copy of the card to volo.rnRaffica enough, reduced shutter lag, low weight and good ergonomics round out the quadro.rnrnEDIT: update with the latest considerations. With the battery grip ergonomics is still nautical milesbream, now the handle is perfect. Using it in the dark is known that they could put some relief on one of the buttons back (review and magnification) to distinguish them. The selection of the AF point is still faster with the pad but it has a behavior that gets on my nerves: by choosing one of the peripheral, if instead of going to the adjacent point you accidentally choose a point that does not exist (to the outside), go to automatic choice. It would be much more comfortable for me, it stopped there or pass at the opposite point (for example, from the left to the right by pressing the left). The exposure is proving to be quite reliable now that I know him better. The upper part of the polycarbonate is very sensitive to scratches. Come off by rubbing it takes very little to give segni.rnIl sensor is great.

tamron_70-200_f2-8vcTamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC USD

Pros: A great 70-200 f2.8 stabilized, mechanically and optically very good especially, good quality / price ratio.

Cons: Slight drop in sharpness at f2.8 at 200mm, from testing it seems that the focal length indicated is greater than the real one. AF ring too thin.

Opinion: For those looking for a lens of this type and with excellent optical quality can choose between this or the more expensive equivalent original, obviously better in certain caratteristiche.rnLa optical quality is remarkable: high sharpness already at f2.8, closing at f4 or f5 6 is a blade to any focale.rnCome often happens worsens in sharpness at maximum zoom range, this Canon series II is superior. It is still quite usable at 200mm (actually less mm) f2.8. Chromatic aberrations are well controlled, I would say essentially absent, as well as the distortion is almost nulla.rnSfocato personally very pleasant and beautiful colors: warm and saturated without strange dominanti.rnL 'AF is fast and silent and the grand opening helps the car to find fire, I have not encountered problems with F / B focus. The focus ring is very thin, it is still practical and in an easily number accessibile.rnDi the hood well-built plastic and the ring for the treppiede in metallo.rnIl weather sealed body is solid, the first part is made of metal while the final part quality polycarbonate. This limits the weight, slightly lower than the original competition, but also the impression of robustezza.rnStabilizzatore effective, it needs a few seconds to work best but allows a 3 stop advantage of real and is soft in the intervention.

canon_85_f1-8Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM

Pros: Sharpness, blurred significant, rapid and accurate AF, weight and size of content, quality / price ratio

Cons: Chromatic aberrations often present, hood stupid

Opinion: Goal exceptional quality / price ratio, mounted on APS-C becomes narrow and not great for portraits, sports in reasonable distances (AF excellent) .rnSu FF is a short telephoto of great quality, even at usabilissimo f1.8.rnLa sharpness is more than good (great from f2.8), contrast and color good, pity about the purple fringing present often in large openings also not backlit, but it removes a attimo.rnPeso and dimensions are contained but the build quality is very good, with seemingly plastic quality and the ring wheel of fire without braking and games as it should essere.rnL'unico neo relevant is the hood, not so much by its absence (Chinese copies are just a few euro), but for the system Fixing with teeth that turn on itself even when fixed, ruining the impression of solidity generale.rnObiettivo still highly recommended.

sigma_30_f1-4Sigma 30mm f/1.4 EX DC HSM (old)

Pros: Brightness', Defocused, weight and size, Sharpness prepunched, Endowment

Cons: Rigid plastics to the touch, AF is not fast to be ultrasonic aberrations at full aperture

Opinion: Focal useful on APS-C, and 'a great lens in relation to the current price (300 € scarce). Net opening f1.4, allows creative shots and one blurred smooth and soft (very far from the canon 50 f1.8). RNLA sharpness and 'acceptable to TA, it becomes very good closing a couple of stops. The af and 'precise in my copy but the speed' and not 'to the level of USM Canon (30mm not' so fundamental) but it 's still higher goals with the engine tradizionale.rnSi noticed several aberrations in TA in the light: need a lot of tweaking to eliminate them. The problem is not known and closing with light omogenea.rnEsteticamente and 'a bell'obbiettivo but the plastics are very hard and give the impression of creak. The construction and 'still good, with the focus ring to focus well braked and homogeneous in the movement. Good hood and excellent storage. At the current price, and 'a good buy for a fixed short bright enough for indoor and of good quality'.

canon_50dCanon 50D

Pros: Construction, ergonomics, burst, autofocus, display, AF micro adjustment

Cons: Yield over ISO 1600 (H1 and H2 unusable except in an emergency), white balance indoors are not homogeneous. Lack video (activated by Magic Lantern)

Opinion: After two years of use I can say that it is still a lady machine: the construction is excellent (magnesium body and semitropicalizzato) and the layout of the controls perfect (with the double ring, the joystick and buttons double function operating speed is remarkable). The 9-point AF Cross is very fast and accurate even on the side (with static subjects or almost) and the center also good for action shots. The AF micro adjustment is necessary on certain objectives from the large opening and allows to obtain the best optics in possession. The burst is remarkable and with UDMA card buffer is emptied in a flash. The picture quality is good but the 15 MP sensor tends to undermine the quality of optical media. At low ISO noise is well managed. At ISO 1600 is very present but homogeneous, in 3200 begins to knead the details while H1 and H2 are to be used only when needed (to 12800 is also a certain banding) .rnIn general seems good for APS-C every chancedoes not suffer too much of the weight of years.

tamron_17-50Tamron SP 17-50mm f/2.8 XR Di II LD

Pros: Sharpness, f2.8, color, weight, price, lens hood

Cons: AF noisy and not very fast

Opinion: The construction is of average quality plastics look good and fit well finished but there are too many games in particular in the ring zoom.rnL 'only comment on the quality of the image is the distortion at 17mm (removed by a click in PP ) while sharpness, color reproduction and control of aberrations are at the top, especially for this prezzo.rnL 'absence of the stabilizer is not a problem thanks to the opening max and constant f2.8.rnDai few tests carried out the fuzzy seems very good (softer than canon 50 f1.8). rnIl weight is perfect to balance my car (1000d + BG), is obviously a ton compared to 18-55 but just see the front lens (67mm filters) to understand why. rnL'AF is very noisy but without that "click-click" typical of 50 f1.8, the speed is good for the engine type, say higher than the 18-55 kit from but markedly lower than any USM. However, the brightness of the lens loses little time to figure out where to put the machine infuoco.rnBello the lens hood and a good idea of ??the zoom lock at 17mm (for now useless because it is still very close). RNIN definitely a good buy, it is not a cut but a skyscraper above the 18-55 kit from and I think will give me a lot of satisfaction.

canon_efs_55-250Canon EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS

Pros: Cost, size, weight, stabilizer, the overall quality of the images

Cons: Sharpness and contrast to 250mm

Opinion: Excellent value for money, has a good stabilizer and a focal length over 200mm long sfruttabile.rnPurtroppo loses much sharpness and contrast, the situation improves turning a couple of stops but already part of 5.6 so for sport is not exactly the best . rna part this is a good lens for that price, the quality from 55 to 150mm is more than enough and weight and compact dimensions make it an alternative higher quality than tuttofare.rnL lens' AF is mediocre, not very noisy but on average slower, obviously not USM so you can not expect troppo.rnLo stabilizer works very well: it is not invasive activation and does his duty even if it consumes a lot of batteria.rnIn general can be a good buy in kits or if you need a canvas to use once in a while, otherwise it has more sense to try a 70-200 or a fixed tele maybe in used (with costs at least tripled). rnVenduto for a tamron 70-300 VC, but it's another thing canon is egrav &and, defended well when compared to prezzo.rn

Pros: E 'in the kit, weight, size, focal useful

Cons: Sharpness, autofocus, build quality

Opinion: Before taking lens kit with 1000D, sharpness leaves enough to be desired also closing a couple of stop.rnL 'autofocus is slow and noisy and the front element rotates during the focus.rnLa build quality has improved in the second version, in this is quite scarsa.rnCome focus is ideal for a myriad of situations, it can lead to landscape, portrait, street photos, before choosing a lens specialistica.rnPeso space and they do bring ovunque.rnE 'still in my kit after 2 years but I sbarazzerò soon in favor of a tamron 2.8.

canon_50_f1-8_v2Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II

Pros: Sharpness, brightness, weight, cost

Cons: Materials, slow and noisy AF, AF ring uncomfortable

Opinion: It looks like a toy all plastic (and glass), shaking maracas seems a but limits the weight to just over a pound. The lens hood can be mounted on an adapter not only look good but a little bit slow but ingombranternL'autofocus and especially noisy, but thanks to the opening generous manages to hook better than other lenses in low light, its ideal environment. Unfortunately the ring is ridiculous thin, without tires and so soft that almost runs itself. The filter holder does not rotate on the contrary of the lens from kit.rnIl blurred is a bit 'nervous (best tamron 70-300 VC as softness) and the bokeh has the typical pentagonal shape of the diaphragm to 5 lamelle.rnFinora seems full of defects but sharpness , detail, color and overall image quality (CA, distortion) make you forget everything! At f1.8 is not bad, closed f4.0 is excellent. No lens € 100 has this image quality, even with these defects. With extension tubes can become a good macro lens a little prezzo.rn

tamron_70-300vcTamron SP 70-300mm f/4-5.6 Di VC USD

Pros: Image quality, fast AF and quiet, excellent stabilizer, lens hood (Canon alarm clock!), Quality / price ratio

Cons: Quite heavy, on entry level bodies tends to unbalance

Opinion: Mounted on Canon APS-C, has a very good image quality (no AC note, good sharpness even at 300mm max aperture and excellent in half closed one stop), the AF with FTM is instantaneous and silent. The build quality is good: all plastic but high quality, metal clasps course. The zoom and focus rings are well used. Bello also petal-type hood with non-reflective coating. The stabilizer is noisy and nervous at the time of activation, but once running it seems to use the tripod so accurate. I think there is no other telephoto at that price again (280-340 €) of this quality.

canon_1000dCanon 1000D

Pros: Price, weight, size, quality raw

Cons: ISO maximum, no video, slow burst, autofocus, jpeg

Opinion: Brought home with € 300 in a kit with 18-55 has a good relationship image quality / price. The low weight make it almost disappear in the bag but for those with large hands is too small (problem solved with battery grip). The 7-point AF system would be sufficient but the contrast detection becomes very slow on Low-contrast subjects or in low light. The quality of the raw is very good with the right lens (see 50mm f/1.8) but the files are too compressed jpg. Unfortunately, the flurry of 3 fps (sufficient for a "normal") is only possible in jpg. Maximum ISO 1600, for use up to 800, also here you can solve with a fixed light. Missing the video function but I've never felt the need. In general it is a good investment to get into the SLR world: its limits come soon but the skill of the photographer lies in overcoming them. Ps: 10 Mpixel are more than enough and also be processed by PC dated, done often held little consideration ..
