The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Sony FE 35mm f/1.4 GM Pros: All Cons: Nothing Opinion: It's the 35mm I've been looking for. But, three months after its release and after a long search among the various 35 available at the time (and none that convinced me completely), I gave up and bought the 24 GM (beautiful, really a great lens but which, alas, turned out to be too "wide" for my way of photographing). So, last Christmas I decided to treat myself to this spectacular glass that has all, but absolutely all, the qualities of the 24 GM (which unfortunately I had to give up to be able to buy the 35) but which is definitely more congenial to me. I mounted it on the a9 and it was almost an erotic experience. Like the key in the lock... They complement each other... They made me a "vojeur" expert. sent on April 07, 2024 |
 | Ricoh GR IIIx Pros: Intelligent, sober and essential. Pocket! Not only x Street Photography. It mounts the 40mm (not interchangeable), an all-rounder that fits me perfectly (the 28mm of its sister, the GR III, is wide for me). For this jewel I immediately bought a small hard-shell case and I put it away right away. So, 10 months after purchase, I can't find a speck of dust even on the camera body. The case is called "Baxxtar PURE BLACK size L" and I got it on Amazon. It is lightly padded inside, it is equipped with a shoulder strap (removable) and a loop to put it on the belt. Internally it measures 115 x 70 x 40 mm, weighs 100g and (at the moment) costs €16.90. Cons: Opinion: sent on June 24, 2023 |
 | 7artisans 35mm f/1.4 Pros: price, dimensions, weight Cons: flare, lack af Opinion: I have had it for almost a year during which I used it as a paperweight after a first use, outdoors, very disappointing. Then, in the last few weeks I tried to use it again and I must admit that I have unfairly snubbed her. At full opening it already has a good definition, in the center, which is improving by closing the diaphragm. With a studied light, perhaps indoors, it brings out an appreciable vintage personality (the personality is always appreciable). This is how he makes himself forgiven! The build quality is there, it has a beautiful aesthetic, it is very compact (on my A9 it is too small compared to the body), the maf ring is fluid but with the right friction, that of the diaphragms is in one stop snap. The copy I have, with Sony E attack, also has the inscription "11", engraved on the diaphragm ring, while the one here in the picture (as well as the copies I observed in the various reviews on youtube), between 8 and 16 has a dot. Dunno! Also this lens, like the other "chinese" in my possession (TTArtisan 50mm f/1.4 ASPH), having a narrow diameter, does not completely cover the bayonet disc leaving several millimeters uncovered, and it annoys me. Rating 7. sent on December 18, 2021 |
 | TTArtisan 50mm f/1.4 ASPH Pros: Dimensions, aesthetics, build quality Cons: Design copied to Leica, lack of autofocus, impractical attachment Opinion: The price is really honest, in relation to the quality! It costs less than 300€ (€267, the E mount, on Amazon) and I refer to this price, not to the 550€ set in the card. The optical group is the same used for the version with M mount but it costs more than double. Regarding aesthetics, they shamelessly followed the Leica design. But if you can ffa? It seems so! Dunno. However, the build quality is high. It measures 55x67mm and, despite being smaller than my Sony 55mm f/1.8 which weighs only 280 grams, this lens weighs 430 (it also contains more glasses). It is sufficiently sharp already at full aperture and has a very soft and gradual blur. The quality of the images it produces is of an excellent level and they do not disfigure at all close to photos made with lenses much more expensive than this one! I don't like the attack. At the base of the barrel there is little space to take it so to mount or disassemble the lens from the body it is more convenient to grip the focus ring, turning it until the end of the stroke in one direction or another depending on whether you have to mount or disassemble it. And he does not make a nice decisive click when he hooks, but he makes a shy shy, not very reassuring one. But then it remains firmly in place. Among other things, having such a small diameter, it does not fit perfectly with the diameter of the bayonet leaving it uncovered at the edges. For the rest it is really a nice lens, for those who love manual focus whose bezel is soft but weighted. And the diaphragm ring is half-stop but never nervous. To prove it, I mounted it on my A9 of which I especially love the infamous autofocus, so I don't think I'll use it very much, on this camera body. Although, indeed, its own space would deserve it. Here, if I happened to have an A7 first series at a bargain price I think I would dedicate it to him: I would get a quasi-compact full frame, cheap and of a certain level. Summing up, I would recommend it to those who make extensive use of vintage lenses or in any case without autofocus, because the quality is there and the price too. sent on November 26, 2021 |
 | Apple iPhone 12 Pro Pros: Really top user experience Cons: It seems that the screen scratches even just looking at it: better to apply the protective film as soon as you pull it out of the package. Opinion: Let's face it, Apple's genius is that of having managed to turn the iPhone into an object to be desired. This is demonstrated by the long lines that form in front of their stores every time a new one comes out. Certainly I have never been one of those who would have lined up to buy it but I can not deny that I wanted it too. My first experience was with the 4s but it turned out to be very disappointing. Nice but didn't dance. Since then, every time I wanted to buy a new smartphone, even if I liked iPhones more, I inevitably turned to other brands where the quality, price and performance ratio was certainly better. I've had a great One Plus One for almost five years. After that, in the last two years, the Huawei P30 Pro (which we still have) and P40 Pro+ with extreme satisfaction. Then, for the 12, Apple dusted off the fantastic design of the old iPhone 4 that I liked so much. I couldn't resist for long. Hit and sunk. It's just a beautiful object, it looks like a small ingot (in fact I chose the gold color). I took the Pro for the ability to shoot in Raw (it might serve me, you never know), and I preferred it to the Max for its smaller size. For the choice I did not make it an economic issue, so I bought it through Iliad and I pay about thirty euros a month. One or the other model would have made the difference of one or two euros. Ah, and of course it is not branded, figured if Apple allowed it! It goes that it's a bomb, there is little to do. The quality is perceived in every detail, I am very happy to have it. Moreover, it has a better reception than the P40 Pro Plus: if I answered a phone call while I was leaving the house, the line would fall inexorably as I went down the stairs, before arriving at the door. But this thing, thinking about it better, also happened with previous mobile phones due to the fact that I live in an old building with very thick walls. Now, with the 12 Pro, it doesn't happen anymore. The only sore point, in my opinion, is that the screen is lined too easily, considering the speech of the microceramics with which it is built and the much-vaunted robustness to shocks. Ah, to the bumps yes, and to the scratches no? Dunno... however, better to apply the protective film to him immediately. I also had it put on the edges and back because I hate covers. An "important" notation (so to speak) is that, applying the film on the back, the logo with the bitten apple disappears. Yes, because, being the satin back and the shiny logo, with the application of the film everything becomes glossy and so the logo is no longer seen. I liked this thing. A bit like a Leica without the red sticker. It is more sober, it is recognized only if you understand it. To conclude (I will not go into the technical details, I prefer to leave it to those who have the skills) I say only one thing: it's nice to go crazy and dance like Fred Astaire! Rating 10.------ (I know, my opinion on this smartphone should have focused on its photographic sector, since we are on a site that deals with photography. But I just can't do it, it's stronger than me: with my mobile phone and, when I'm going to take a real picture ... I take my camera! Of course, these "cameraphones", as they call them now, have definitely paved the compacts that you bought for the "light outputs"! Buying one of those cameras no longer makes sense now. I don't understand why they still persist in producing them) sent on August 09, 2021 |
 | Apple iPhone 4S Pros: Aesthetics, innovative idea, materials Cons: very poor reception Opinion: I bought the 4s at the beginning of 2012 because I really liked it to go crazy its aesthetics, truly a fantastic design. At the time, I was a sound engineer on a television station whose headquarters were in a kind of bunker. I usually placed my mobile phone near the mixer because, after several attempts, I had verified that it was that, the best place in terms of signal reception. The mobile phone prior to my coveted iPhone 4s was a mobile phone that I had paid about fifty euros thanks to the transition to wind, and that there, leaning near the mixer, had always received calls well. So, all happy with my new purchase, I also placed my beautiful 4s in the same place. The deep disappointment in discovering that, in that same point where a cabbage phone took well, my new and very expensive iPhone 4s did not even take to pray to it. So, at the end of the two "trial" weeks, I returned to the Apple Store in spite of myself to give it back. I was very sorry. But keeping me a cell phone that cost a lot of money, that did so many things well except the one for which it had reason to exist, would have made me feel like an idiot. End of story. sent on August 07, 2021 |
 | Fujifilm X-M1 Pros: iso, articulated LCD, portability Cons: miss crosshairs Opinion: I bought it (used equal to the new one) at Christmas 2013 as a gift to my wife. The silver and cognac version (beautiful), with 16-50 in kit, silver too. I, at the time, was a convinced nikonist, indoctrinated by a former friend of mine, and I owned a D7000 paid about 1000€ new. Whereas for the x-m1 I had spent around 500€. It struck me the way he reacted better to high isos than my D7000. But much better! I was almost sick of it (in a couple of months, in fact, I sold my nikon to buy an x-pro 1). Of course, now, in many ways it is outdated, but it is little by little and if it were also in excellent condition it would still be worth buying. It is almost pocket-sized and with a good lens in front, it still has something to say. As far as I am concerned, it marked the end of a ridiculous statement. sent on March 28, 2021 |
 | Sony FE 24mm f/1.4 GM Pros: materials, yield, aesthetics Cons: nobody Opinion: He's my first GM and, you know, the first GM never forgets! Until now I had focused on climbing to the body of the car which, as far as I am concerned, happily stopped at the A9. Now the one for the lenses begins, much more demanding (wonderful the A1 but we talk about it again when I have completed my GM kit, and it will take time!). I own my beloved Sony 55 f/1.8 and, until I bought this wonder, the Sony 28 f/2 I gave back (plus a 35 f/1.4 7artisans that I use as a card stopper). Well, this 24 GM literally left me speechless. I feel like I have new shooting and composition possibilities. On the 28th, if, for example, I got too close, portraits were impossible. With this 24, NO! But the backlights! He reacts beautifully. The colors, beautiful. The blurry, romantic. I could define this lens in one word: cinematic. Aesthetically and as materials it is at the top. The diaphragm ring on the barrel, then, I love it. Initially, having only very light lenses and a really small size, I thought it was slightly challenging, compared to 55 and 28. As everything is relative. But in fact, after a couple of months of use, I can say that it is not at all, challenging. indeed! Since I had it, I've never detached it from the car yet to replace it with the 55. I can't do it. It's too good to use! No doubt it's Love, and the 55th starts to get jealous. :))) sent on February 26, 2021 |
 | Fujifilm X-PRO1 Pros: She's beautiful as hell. Cons: autofocus Opinion: I had the X-Pro1 a few years ago. I bought it used, but practically new, in February 2014. It took me 27 f/2.8. eeehhh... It's Bella taking her breath away. Its shape, materials, texture, handling... Maybe it's the camera, among those I owned (after the Leica M6 ttl) that I liked the most aesthetically. And he defended himself quite well even in terms of photographic rendering. I resold it because its af, absolutely unliably, made me too nervous. Sooner or later I'm going to buy it back. Maybe I'il use it little, but it's nice to have it. sent on November 13, 2020 |
 | Huawei P40 Pro+ Pros: Photographic sector, internal memory, aesthetics Cons: No Google services, current price Opinion: sent on September 06, 2020 |
 | Manfrotto Pixi Pros: Pocket (almost), practical, well built Cons: nobody to be a mini Opinion: I've had it for 3 or 4 years and I find it essential to have it. It is robust, beautiful and built with great materials. It keeps my Sony A9 with 55mm or 28mm without hesitation. Of course, with a more unbalanced lens I've never tried it but I don't think it can go against the laws of physics! However, I think it is very versatile. In this period of the c***o, for example, I am using it a lot because I keep mounted the Neewer support for the mobile phone and use it daily to make the countless video calls without having to support the mobile phone. A well-made expense, for what it costs. sent on April 22, 2020 |
 | Sony A9 Pros: Electronic shutter, autofocus, high iso Cons: 12bit burst, aesthetics Opinion: 9 and I'm! Eh, I know, I've busted: the a9 is a blast. I finally found my ultimate camera. The magic box. He's got everything I could want. It makes me feel calm, master of the situation, focused. For the Street it's the best! An electronic shutter without rolling. An autofocus with the grip of a Molosso: impressive, that if you don't try it you don't believe it. A really endless burst, a bottomless buffer. With the fact that I also own the a7rII for a few years now, I immediately became familiar with the a9 that however has the touch screen, which I felt so much the need for because it allows me to change the focus point instantly. Of course, accustomed to 42mpx files, I was afraid of comparison. But it went great. In fact, it almost seems that the photos of the a9, compared to those of the a7rII, have greater three-dimensionality. At high iso he behaves better, of course. At 6400 iso the files can be used without problems, just give it a duster on the fly with Noiseware. During the first two outings I used the flurry. Then I found that raw files automatically drop to 12 bits like compressed ones and I preferred not to use it anymore, for the moment, that so much street is not sports photography! Of the a9 II I would only like the lock button on the compensation ring (but above all the firmware update with the curtain lock of the machine sensor off). I don't know what to do with all that connectivity, since I'm not a professional. And then I don't make videos, so the UHS-II dual slot doesn't suit me. In fact, I have to thank the A9 II because, if it wasn't for its release, I couldn't have bought the A9 at this price. Aesthetically it doesn't drive me crazy. The Sony line is a little too anonymous, to my taste. Of course it's not as horrendous as most SLRs but it doesn't come anywhere near the beauty of a Leica M10, or an Olympus Pen F or a Fuji x-Pro2. But aesthetics leaves the time it finds. It's the substance that matters and there's a lot of it here. I mean, as I wrote at the beginning, I feel like I've finally found my ultimate car. And it's never happened to me before. Super recommended stra. sent on February 01, 2020 |
 | Huawei P30 Pro Pros: battery life, camera, aesthetics Cons: screen curvature, size, weight Opinion: I've had it for a few weeks. After more than five years that I did not buy a new mobile phone, the choice could only fall on this because of the much-vaunted camera and I must say that it actually deserves. I do Street, but with my phone I still haven't had the courage to do it. I'm going to try, sooner or later. But for my walks out of the door, I already found this cell phone useful because it allowed me not to bring my camera with me. For holiday photos is more than enough. The battery lasts forever, really! Sure it's new and we'll see in 6 months, but for the moment with a charge I do two days without turning it off at night. Using its original 40W charger, you recharge it in just over an hour, and after half an hour it's already at 70% charging. Amazing! I took it in black because the other colors I find adolescent. That's just black isn't! It's mirrored gray rather than black. The screen has an important diagonal that often does not allow you to use it with one hand, but it is very sharp and the touch is fast and punctual. Of course, it's barely something in your pants pocket, and when you sit down a little bit, it's a bit of a nuisance. But I usually keep it in my bag! Compared to my old One Plus One, it weighs a little more but we are still talking about less than 200 grams. You don't disloy your wrist, using it. One thing I found very useful was the ease with which he copied all the settings from the old phone: the address book, the agenda, the photos, all the apps and their respective memories. Cloned perfectly with stunning simplicity. Five minutes and I had my old phone again but with a new aesthetic. All you need to do was download a Huawei app, Phone Clone, to your old phone and get it started. I really appreciated it. The problem of curvature at the edges of the screen, which can incidentally be touched while navigating and swerving the screen to another command, I solved it with an anonymous transparent rubber cover covering the edges and end of the story. I also found it very useful to be a remote control. I set it for the dining room TV, the bedroom TV and the three air conditioners. That the remote controls, when you have to turn off, are never found. It works great. The reception is also very good. It takes where the old cell phone didn't take. I mean, I'm doing it too long, to close it very much. You don't regret buying it. Then, for what it costs now! sent on December 29, 2019 |
 | Sony FE 55mm f/1.8 ZA Sonnar T* Pros: dimenisions, weight, anti-reflective treatment Cons: nothing blatant Opinion: I bought it at 500 degrees used about a year ago. I really like it, especially for the size. The quality of the materials is excellent. Paired with my a7R II is really unwieldy. In fact, I take them every day with me. To make street is ideal. It has a very good definition and ad f/4 is almost moving. But it also has a very pleasant blur. The af is not foolproof. But how much depends on the lens and how much does it depend on the camera? Boh, I don't know. However, it happened (rarely have to say) that some shots taken on the fly missed them greatly. In short, 9 times out of 10 focuses perfectly. I'm always talking about shots taken on the fly, mind you, because if you have time to focus, 1 or 2 seconds, don't miss a shot. The lack of sharpness at the edges I did not upset. It depends on the genre you do, probably. And I didn't test myself, like photographing a newspaper page in full frame. Of course, if the issue of size had not been my priority, I would surely have also considered a Sigma Art. But this is it! If you do street with 50mm, if size matters to you and you also want autofocus you have no alternative. It's the top. There's little to do! I'm literally in love with it. I will only sell it if I change brands. Update to February 15, 2020: I've been using it for a couple of months mounted on a9. Formidable pairing. And autofocus, with shots on the fly, doesn't miss a beat. sent on January 05, 2019 |
 | Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 Pros: Weight, size, customizable key Cons: A little plasticose construction Opinion: I find that very satisfactory. It has a very nice blurred and a good three-dimensionality, proportionally to its price (certainly not minimally comparable to the Canon 85 F/1.2 but that costs 4 times as much and weighs more than triple!) It is light and, attached to my A7R II, I even made it Street, without any hassle. Obviously not born for that but it was to emphasize the fact that it does not weigh and not cluttered. The AF is accurate and fast. Then just look at the photos below that say more than a thousand words (and just look at those of those who criticize!). Fact is that you hardly find it used because it goes away like bread. Recommended. sent on November 17, 2018 |
 | Fujifilm X-T1 Pros: Aesthetics, build quality, ISO, size Cons: Practicality Opinion: I had some of Fuji: X30, X-M1, X-E1, x Pro1 and X-T1. Of course the XT1 was the best. I will not be able to reiterate things that I have already read below about the indisputable photographic quality of this top range but I'll just tell one of the reasons why I was not well: what just stood me tight of the XT1 were the ring nuts. I love the street fast and for this kind of photography I need a camera from the immediate controls because I can need more or less field or I can pass in a short time from a very enlightened situation to one of twilight or backlight. On the X-T1, which with the street should find its raison d'être, setting the shutter speed dial, I do not know, at 1/125, I could not then quickly use the wheel to pass, just to say, to 1/1250. I had to unlock the ring and reposition it! The wheel only gave me the margin of one stop at the bottom or the top. Same speech for the ISO ring. I had an Olympus whose ring nuts were in range of thumb and forefinger and also acted as wheels! Now, with the Sony A7R II, I have all the scissors at the wheel range. I can move from minimum to maximum without having to go even for the ring nuts. Why two commands for the same thing, where then the wheel serves little and nothing? (The only thing I miss about Fuji is the aperture ring on the lenses: I adored it) As I see it, in addition to the compensation ring, it needs one to switch from M mode to A, S or P (which then instead this ring here, which serves, on the X-T1 is not there). In short, fine ring but totally useless (critical that I could expand even to other models Fuji, as well as later). Surely some fanboy will resent this affront! I beg your pardon. sent on July 26, 2018 |
 | Sony A7r II Pros: size, resolution, materials, aesthetics Cons: non-touch screen, lenses often too big in comparison to the machine body, electronic shutter Opinion: Amateur review, absolutely non-technical: I come from a beautiful 5D Mk III, with 24-105mm f/4 L, which I had longed for. But then I fell in love with street photography (now it's a fashion, we're falling in love with several) but the Canon was too cumbersome for this genre. So I joined her with an Olympus E-M10 Mk II with Panasonic 25mm f/1.7, to leave the Canon at home. After a year that I neglected the 5D3 I decided to sell both and switch to Sony a7R II, with the Zeiss Sonnar 55mm f/1.8, taking advantage of the price drop due to the release of the new model (a step that turned out to be economically painless because I did not have to add a hundredths, indeed: I advanced 30 euros!). In conclusion, the a7R II is Beautiful! The files are superb, on the same level as the Canon, even better! And I never leave her at home. Once you've customized the keys, you've got everything at your fingertips. It's really amazing. I solved the problem of batteries that last little, and I solved it soon: I have six. What I had read about this mirrorless here on Juza, but also on other sites, it's all true. You can't not fall in love with it. Of the Olympus I miss the touchscreen thanks to which I decided on the fly the focus point, but by updating the firmware to version 4.0, the wheel up/down/sin/right is activated to move the af wherever you want and remains on this feature until you turn it off, even if you turn off and turn the camera back on! (Just assign, to one of the function keys, the entry "mess. Standard Fire" from Menu "custom settings," page 7," impost. Person. Keys"). And I don't miss Canon at all. I was afraid of regretting it, I confess, but it didn't go that way luckily. I'm so happy! To those who want to do the same thing, I reassure you: do it! ;) sent on February 04, 2018 |

| Nikon D3000 Pros: lightweight, manageable, economy Cons: big limit, megapixel number, no video Opinion: My is not and does not want to be a review. The D3000 was my first camera and received it as a gift from my wife exactly 7 years ago (today is my birthday). Then I had another 12 (9 digital and 3 film) for the fetishism of having more and more powerful cameras in the illusion that depends on them on the quality of my photos. What a disappointment when I realized it was not exactly like that. It was as if someone had broken my favorite toy. Because that's what they are: toys. rnIf you have something to say and an elegant eye in the composition, with a D3000 you can do great photos. Great photos.rnGet even with a good goal, yes yes ... ahahahah sent on October 16, 2017 |
 | Nikon F4s Pros: autofocus, appearance and construction Pro, price, aesthetics Cons: weight, some spare parts discontinued Opinion: It's really nice and pleasant to hold in my hand. It weighs a lot. You immediately realize that you are in front of a top range and in fact it is very easy to use. My experience with film is not much and, coming from a Leica M6 (beautiful), already I breathed a sigh of relief only in loading the film: open, insert and close, then does everything by yourself and you are already at the first click, it is almost like inserting a memory card. After shooting, it automatically reloads for the next shot and rewinds electronically at the end. Not to mention the fact that it has autofocus! No prefocusing in case of Street. You can use it all in manual, at the priority of diaphragms, at priority of times or fully automatic and worry only about the composition. It has the display meter marked inside the viewfinder, where you can also find indicated the diaphragm and the speed of the shutter, in addition to the usual dot that lights up when you focus. It even has buttons for blocking focus and exposure. Ah, and the shutter gets to 1/8000. Sure, you can't change iso with every shot, but otherwise it's like using a digital. I paired it with the Nikkor AF 50mm f/1.4 which, coincidentally, is just what fits here in the picture of representation. In short, it is really cheap and I do not understand the reason (I found it at 150 euros from Sabatini in Rome) but better so. Absolutely to have. Yes, yes! sent on April 25, 2017 |
 | Panasonic Lumix G 25mm f/1.7 ASPH Pros: weight, price, brightness Cons: It's plastic, apart from the attack Opinion: I especially like it because it costs very little and it does so much. He is fairly sharp already af / 1.7, has a good blur, is bright, small and light (also because it's all plastic that looks like a lego toy). More you can not really ask (a bit like Canon's 50mm f / 1.8)! Sometimes the AF does not engage and in continuous mode makes you nervous. But all in all I would say that the relationship between quality and price is unbeatable. sent on April 22, 2017 |
 | Olympus OM-D E-M10 II Pros: size, weight, aesthetics Cons: grip for large hands, the viewfinder too eyelet protruding with respect to the monitor Opinion: I bought it a couple of weeks ago to replace the faithful X30 (which I used as a second camera body, for the Street, leaving behind the heavy FF) and I was afraid to regret. But it did not happen at all! I am very glad I did. It has about the same size, but the files it produces are far superior. Of course, it depends on which lens mounts! But I can change it, while the X30 was not possible. The commands are more at hand: ferrules diaphragm and shutter really enjoyable. And on fn3 button there I set the ISO. The fact is that I do not fiddle around with the menu. If it helps I do, mind you, but I prefer the manual controls. Simple and fast. And the E-M10II have one! When I coupled to a Lumix G 25mm f / 1.7 and since me satisfaction! Imagine if you decided to buy a higher quality lens! And I dare not think about the E-M1 II! 'I'm Micro 4/3 I guess I have a little' underestimated Almost ... almost ... :)))) sent on April 22, 2017 |
 | Leica M6 TTL Pros: build quality, size, aesthetics Cons: No, the price, perhaps, but it keeps the market for which should be between Pro Opinion: Look at it and hold it in your hands is already a thrill. It is to die for! It is massive but elegant. Only. The build quality is at the highest level. Also I had heard so much talk about the "range finder" to fear of not know how to use. But I found it intuitive and immediate. Certainly it is not the autofocus but is quite fast and I think that, once taken hand, it is not difficult to focus on a subject on the fly, especially if you learn to judge the distance of the subject from the camera. Then, do not have a display on which see what you just photographed, I'm realizing that it is good: you do not think to shoot just made it to that still to be made! In short, it's another way of living the photograph, here. It's more fun, at least for me. And the pictures are just beautiful! Of course, it depends on the lens that mounts! But always with the standing Leica helmets lenses. And if you organize a small dark room with homemade for development in bilikewise, and black (with a few hundred euro can put on) and learn to develop them independently, the fun is insured! The highly recommend. Today more than ever. sent on November 01, 2016 |
 | Fujifilm X30 Pros: price, size, build quality, aesthetics, macro. Cons: ignition, cap, rec key too small and too close to the compensation ring. Opinion: I bought it a few days ago on Amazon. I had read a lot of reviews, opinions and data sheets before deciding to buy it and expectations were too high for what it actually is the X30, a compact camera. The best compact that there is, in my opinion. In conditions of good light it is surprising, but in low light conditions, the af often does not hook, but this also happens with noble cameras. The "sounds" are really ugly, especially the shooting, but just set it to silent mode (even if the flash does not work but I would use it anyway). In short, it's too funny! The you can always carry with them, take pictures extemporaneous and, thanks to the wi-fi function, pass immediately on your phone (jpg only) to publish on Instagram, for example. sent on April 24, 2016 |
 | Nokia Lumia 530 Pros: economic, robust, intuitive Cons: operating system Opinion: I purchased it because I needed a mobile battle but this 530 was much more: a smartphone in effect just over 60 euro. I've surfed, did research on google, checked the mail, facebook, etc. just as you do with smartphones more famous. If you please. Of course, I could not find all the apps that are there for the other platforms. But the essentials are all there! sent on July 08, 2015 |
 | Canon EF 50mm f/1.2 L USM Pros: brightness, construction, blurry Cons: challenging price Opinion: I bought it a few months ago after long wishing for it. It costs a lot for my pockets. The fetishistic satisfaction of owning it was enormous. I use it on the 5D Mk II using it almost always with the central focus point, recomposing, and very often at full opening to learn how to handle it well. He's great, he's got magic of his own. I just have this goal, I don't have any more, for the moment. But I like it so much that even if I had other goals I wouldn't use them. I think... sent on July 05, 2015 |
 | OnePlus One Pros: Aesthetics, price, top-range performance, battery life. Cons: Not manageable with a single hand, on some occasions. Opinion: I bought the 64 Gb version at the beginning of February, so almost four months ago and it still gave no problem. (The version you see above in the photo is the one with 16 Gb of fixed memory and has the white cover. The 64 Gb version has it grey, a material that looks like pumice stone, very nice) my 1 + 1, I normally keep it in the pocket of jeans without any cover of protection or film and you are slightly (but just slightly) worn on an edge. I'm commuting and every day, on the train, I watch a movie, then during the day I use it normally to check mail, Facebook etc. and to call, of course (not more than a dozen phone calls from 2/3 minutes) and the battery I get quietly until Evening (at this time is 13% and are the 22.40). If I play for a long time (for example an hour with GT Racing 2) then the autonomy of the battery is reduced a lot, but the graphics are spectacular. Aesthetically, it is really very elegant. I highly recommend it. Highly recommend!!! Besides I personally have never met anyone who had it, in these four months! Which is impossible to happen, even in the course of a day, if you have an iPhone or a Samsung. UPDATE: April 2, 2016. Now the battery doesn't come in mid-day. My daughter says it depends on the fact that I now use abundantly Instagram. In fact disabling the data traffic lasts a lot more. But it doesn't come at the end of the day anyway. For the rest, it did not give me any technical problem and aesthetically it is still intact. Update: November 30, 2016. The battery was almost non existent by now. But I didn't realize it depended on the various firmware upgrades I had made. Then I went to the site of OnePlus and I found that they provide a version of Android made especially for the One. I downloaded it along with a patch and another file containing the installation instructions. In short I have "Flashato" (I think so) the mobile phone with the new version of Android (it seems to be a 5.1.1) and the phone is miraculously resurrected. Now the battery works as well as when I bought it. Great. Carefully avoid the updates. Even aesthetically it is still in dazzling shape. Ah! I forgot: And in all this time (almost two years) I have still never met anyone with my own phone. Update: February 28, 2018. Oh yes, I still have it! After that time I upgraded it did not give me more problems! Still use it to watch movies on the train, still has no aesthetic signs of wear (never used cover, although a few months ago I did make a nice flight), still the battery holds well and still I have never met anyone with this same model (everyday three No, everyday Metropolitan). But mostly I still like!!! In my opinion, those of OnePlus, this being their first model, to make a good impression, have made it indestructible! :))) Update: September 11, 2018. After the umpteenth flight that I made him do, the display broke and no longer worked the touch. I thought I'd lost him forever. Nobody wanted to fix it for me. Then I found the spare part (not original) on the internet and I bought it: €17. Yesterday I did a search through Google, and I found a shop that fixes smartphones from my parts. The technician was a big fan of one Plus, luckily. He repaired it to Me, and immediately, for €40. And here it is, as good as before. And with LineAge OS now I also have Android 8.1... The tiger is still alive! sent on May 29, 2015 |
 | Canon 5D Mark II Pros: full frame, the price of second today, image quality Cons: autofocus, a few points of focus, power button shortly ergometer (compared to Nikon) Opinion: I bought it a few months ago (obviously used but with 60,000 shots and in good condition) and I love it. I had, for about three years, a Nikon D7000. I wanted to switch to a full frame (used, due to limited budget) and I was torn between the D700 and the Mk II. I am neither a Nikonist nor Canonist. I like to take pictures. The cheering stadium let him do to others. Both models have advantages and disadvantages that make them virtually at the same level. Maybe slightly above the D700. Maybe. However, the D700 used I evaluated were quite experienced. I took the first of two that happened to me in good condition. And I am very satisfied. The autofocus actually not that great in situations where you need quick, points of focus are few and the middle one is the only really reliable. But the images that gives never disappoint. The level is from professional machine. Now, then, with the announcement of the Mk IV, I suppose that the price of this use will become even more interestingnte. Assuming that we can find one in good condition !!! :);) sent on May 20, 2015 |
