canon_5d2Canon 5D Mark II

Pros: Image quality, still made very good up to 1600-3200 ISO, construction and image quality in shooting in Full HD

Cons: The cons that has a machine with 10 years on his shoulders compared to today's SLR in the same category.

Opinion: A reflex that would still be able to "bring home the Loaf" to a professional who knows what he does. In response to the absurd review of "ferorake" I have only one thing to say: a professional does not "hack", but knows which buttons to press, when you push them and if you push them. Sometimes I use the 5dii as a third body during ceremonies, flanked by 1dx II and Nikon D700 (the sister Giallonera of the 5dii): Well, coupled with optics of a certain type (24-70/2.8, 70-200/2.8, 135/2, 85/1.4, and the like) is still able to make forget its Long 10 years "technological" and give images of excellent quality. Of course, you should always take into account the limits that the reflex has if pushed over the 1600-3200 ISO, especially in dark environments, but nothing tragic, just know how to behave to try to take home the shot. Ergo, beware of reviews written by totally incompetent people.

canon_twinlite_mt24exCanon Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX

Pros: Excellent macro, excellent construction, flexibility and ability to set the power of each torch, very short charging time with lithium batteries, excellent resistance to weathering.

Cons: In very close reproductions it would recommend a speaker, adaptable standard only three lenses (Canon 50, not 100 IS and MP-E), the price a bit 'high.

Opinion: I think the MT-24 EX a great flash, which sees its main and natural use in macro photography. For those who like to use the flash as an auxiliary light source or even the main, I think there is no better home Canon. rnPer me that the vast majority of my shooting macro photography under the rain, that resist well to the elements is a huge advantage (when it rains very much opt for a bag that goes to cover the contact of the reflex), not to mention the flexibility that the two independent torches offer: you can adjust based on clicks that the slide makes sense (perhaps remembering the position of the torches to take photographs at a similar subject or in the same location) or by pressing a button that moves the torch in any position liberamente.rnInoltre, each torch is tilting and also can tilt towards the inside or the outside of the ring which connects the flash to the lens and, if necessary, can be directly detached (each torch has the filettatura standard tripod at the base) .rnQuesti latest solutions make the perfect flash to manage perfectly the balance between the subject and lighting sfondo.rnPassando small disadvantages, first put the adaptability of the series in just three lenses (to fit other lenses that do not have the need to buy a special engagement ring that has the thread of the right diameter, with no guarantee of a firm grip-even if you've adapted to a Micro-Nikkor AI-S 200/4 without any problem ), although perhaps it is not a tragedy, given that these are three of the best macro lenses from Canon, each with its own use well preciso.rnIn secundis, recommend the purchase of a pair of speakers designed specifically for the two torches , as it is not rare that they are products that might be reflected sgradevoli.rnInfine, I think even if it cost only 200 € less, many would take in cinsiderazione prefer the idea of ??the MT-14 EX, which has clear limits in Macro photography).

contax_g2Contax G2

Pros: Body very solid, yet discreet and compact: it seems to wield a weapon of precision. Great viewfinder and very comfortable the MAF manual.

Cons: Focus cumbersome, not immediate to understand and quite noisy. Excessive consumption of batteries

Opinion: C once you understand the operation of the machine, is so pleasant and satisfactory use that pushes a shot if you do not need: in fact I always keep a spare film with me.

nikon_d700Nikon D700

Pros: Quality of the file, made at high ISO, construction and solidity, ergonomics, performance objectives with AI-S or earlier, flash serving as commander, location of the various controls.

Cons: Viewfinder coverage below 100%, lack of video, lack of a dual slot for sd / cf second (although I do not find serious), slowness in the selection of the individual focus points using the appropriate arrows, inconvenience of caps for the front doors flash and remote control, protective plastic to become detached at some points, needs to optical quality to give their best.

Opinion: Use a lot of satisfaction with the D700 for almost three years and I can say I know very bene.rnNaturalmente incorporates all the advantages of the full format, that I am not to list, I rather enjoyed the performance of the machine with AF-D (such as 35 -70 2.8 or 80-200 bi ring) and, above all, AI-S: the files are presented with a contrast of shadows and with less pronounced and "invasive" than those that could be achieved with modern optics of the same band ( which of course I tried) .rnHo also always appreciated the strength and construction of the machine, a real rock, which immediately gives a feeling of safety and quality of materials: the ergonomics is very studied and apt, in fact sometimes I feel that the handle has been tailor-made for my mani.rnI commands are all in the right position, with the exception of the button to select the AF points, which is rather awkward to reach when shooting using the battery grip: in this case, I have always unplug a moment the eye from the viewfinder, rest the thumb andredial the immagine.rnPer let alone when pressed unintentionally with fronte.rnE 'just that button that makes me begin listing some flaws that I found in the machine, primarily just the command of AF point selection (which of course can also be used to scroll through the menu or through images, perfect for these purposes): I find it particularly slow and cumbersome, we say that it has an immediate response and in some cases can be time prezioso.rnNon know the latest Nikon thereof end (or higher), but, also taking with Canon, I found that the joystick for selecting points autofocus is extremely faster and more intuitive, so much so that in a split second I can always select the point that interests me (especially during ceremonies or other events in which the AF point is to position itself on the eye of a subject or a point of interest) to other .rnPassando difettucci, would be the ideal opportunity to shoot video and he added in a comfort plus an additional slotfor a sd: Also, I find that the caps that protect the front doors for the flash and the remote control are a little 'uncomfortable, because often open themselves (and bother, especially when holding the body shoulder and shooting in hand when shooting) and I find that they could design them meglio.rnInfine, my copy has some plastic parts that are partly unglued: nothing serious, because to see them you have to lift a finger (and still seem still well solid body, due, probably, to some additional anchor) .rnrnOvviamente, the faults I listed do not find them in any way serious or binding in the event of indecision between the D700 and another corpo.rnTrovo fact that this car is simply excellent in everything, even in sport (adding the BG with speed kit), so highly recommend it to anyone who wants to succeed in the FF even on a professional level.

canon_135_f2Canon EF 135mm f/2.0 L USM

Pros: Amazing quality already at room temperature, blurred, color, autofocus, construction, versatility, and price, considering used.

Cons: Very slight chromatic aberration wide open, creating dependency.

Opinion: I had promised to wait to review this lens before using it on FF, but I'm so excited that I decided to do it now, after a month of use (I doubt that the opinion will change in the future). RNLA quality at full aperture is really remarkable, with stunning clarity and a three-dimensional (despite the focal species on APS-C / H) excellent: give the tone, shades and a fuzzy incantevoli.rnSicuramente simply is not an easy lens to use, especially if you want to enhance the merits (without mastery is likely to do the opposite), and especially at full aperture, which requires a bit 'of experience in the development fuoco.rnPer now I'm using the lens on the 7D and I have to say that it is difficult making the most of the sensor this machine, I've always believed, and this coupled with you have a 200mm f / 2 (216, to be precise) with a speed of focus breathtaking, not to mention the convenience of a similar focus in certain areas, such as ceremonies, where the flash will be theaxed quietly at home to the delight of the subjects (and the results). rnInutile say that the construction is impeccable, the focus ring is smooth at the right point and has a perfect race to allow corrections of the maf when moving the subject or inaccuracies AF (very difficult) and the lens, in general, is perfectly balanced with semi-professional and professional bodies (I've also tested on 450D and although BG + dual battery, the combination is significantly unbalanced) . rnHo mentioned versatility as it is a lens that lends itself flawlessly in both sports photography in portraiture, but also in many other fields, and considering it is located on the 800 € on average, it's a bargain, I bought volo.rnrnPassando to the contrary, I noticed a very slight chromatic aberration wide open, but in each of the cases in which I have found, it was photographs taken outdoors under a direct sun, so that, for difficult lighting conditions any lens: one personallyyou, I have not found even necessary to correct it via software, so much lieve.rnInfine, as many have written before me, this lens creates very addictive: you get the urge to shoot even unnecessarily just to appreciate the magnificent results that this lens gives. rnSe want to give you a gift or if you're about to feed a monkey, this is the lens that you have a short acquistare.rnrnPrevedo buying a FF, so I will update the review with new impressions (... discounted).

canon_50_f1-8_v2Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II

Pros: Lightness, sharpness, quality / price ratio

Cons: Poor construction and plasticky, focus, slow, noisy and uncomfortable in MF

Opinion: I own this lens for years and I've used it many times, always on APS-C.rnSono was pleasantly surprised by the overall image quality when compared to the nominal price of the lens: closing slightly (even one third stop increments), the sharpness becomes good and makes the lens THE choice for the neophyte who does not want to spend a fortune for a standard portrait lens but do not want to give up qualità.rnPer regarding the shades, especially the passages and the blurred, cinquantino not excel of course, but if you know how to photograph can also give satisfaction: in particular, the bokeh is rather "hard", certainly less pleasant than that of his brothers maggiori.rnrnCredo is clear, however, that the construction is really poor (although I've seen worse) and I should not wonder if it were composed of 100% plastic (except the leads / contacts), also of poor quality. In addition, the autofocus is very noisy, slow and imprecise; also focus manually is not that great, youI'm the collar is small and appears to be floating in the vuoto.rnA my humble opinion, however, that the building may not necessarily be a counter, because if I was at an event in which a small body in most emergency would not hurt, surely would take me with the 450D with the grafted cinquantino: all plastic without much concern for the value of the equipment, but good results insured in case of bisogno.rnQuesto is exactly what happened to me during an event did not even seem to have him on the shoulder, but with the big lens mounted on the body, when I was presented a portrait as possible, that's the plasticky saved my photography, which was ottima.rnInfine, I think any photographer with a little experience you dissociate from some " reviews "of this lens, written by ignorant people who not only centrate as the cabbage with photography, but they do not know at all what it should be to review.

nikon_35-70_f2-8Nikon AF 35-70mm f/2.8

Pros: Image quality, blur, sharpen, construction and solidity, ring diaphragms.

Cons: Some specimens suffer from opacified lenses, which must be replaced in assistance to avoid a drastic loss of quality, AF not ultrasonic and slightly noisy, lack of tropicalization.

Opinion: Really good lens, the quality is comparable to the 24-70 of oggi.rnSi is a professional lens, with excellent clarity and a blurred: the focal length using the pump system, which I personally prefer the traditional prayers, but that someone else might not piacere.rnAnche wide open sharpness is excellent, although you have to pay attention to the phenomenon of opacified lenses, which afflicts 35-70: in this case, it is necessary to replace the lens opaque (I think at a price of approximately 200 €), in order to avoid a large loss of nitidezza.rnrnGli only flaws are of course the lack of sealing and the stabilizer, in addition to AF does not last generazione.rn

nikon_80-200_f2-8dNikon AF 80-200 f/2.8 ED D

Pros: Image quality (even at room temperature), blurred, building, tripod mount ring, ring diaphragms.

Cons: Lack of sealing and stabilization, autofocus ultrasound and slightly noisy.

Opinion: Perspective of excellent quality: even at full aperture the quality is excellent and it has nothing to envy to slow as the 70-200 VR I or blurred II.rnLo is beautiful and the yield is typical of lenses designed for the film, which I prefer not dubbio.rnL 'autofocus, although it is a version of more than 15 years ago, is not bad and I was able to take photographs in sharp focus during racing: there are also limiting the focus and the AF / MF.rnAltro big advantage is the aperture ring, and that is essential if you use an SLR film meccanica.rnrnGli only flaws are the lack of tropicalization (although I would not be too worried about photographing while drizzling or snowing) and the autofocus is not ultrasonic and on certain occasions (eg. weddings) may also be felt when there is silence.

nikon_85_f1-4aisNikon 85mm f/1.4 Ai-S

Pros: Image quality, optical quality, blurred, building and focus.

Cons: Would not recommend using it in adverse weather conditions, focusing very hard and light-purple fringing wide open, not fully compatible with the entry-level SLR.

Opinion: And 'magnificent view, only those who know them well can parlare.rnLa picture quality is equal to the most recent versions, if not better, given the performance of AIS lenses and their passages and tonal contrasts less bruschi.rnLo Blurry is absolutely lovely and from f / 2 onwards is a razor (the quality is excellent even at f/1.4, but the focus is very difficult). rnInsomma, excellent view from portrait, perhaps one of the best ever. rnInfine, the construction is excellent: there is minimal play in the focusing or other nuts, seems to wield a weapon of precisione.rnNulla to do, then, with modern lenses: the only ones that you can approach are the D versions, such as the 85 1.4 AF-D, 135 and 105 DC ... rnrnL'unico flaw of this lens is delicate, since there is no provision tropical conditions and special precautions against adverse weather conditions: no I speak of strength, as it is a rock, but only penetrazionand rain, sand and dust.

canon_100_macroCanon EF 100mm f/2.8 Macro USM

Pros: Sharpness, construction, optical quality and AF excellent (although in a macro lens is almost useless)

Cons: I can not find one

Opinion: I have the 100 macro for years and I think that one of my best lenses assoluto.rnLa sharpness and optical quality are undisputed and the lens produces a blurred absolutely magnifico.rnCi takes a little 'time to learn how to use this lens at best, but I've never been disappointed and gave me satisfaction uniche.rnUn last appreciation for the building: snap photos with 80% of the 100 macro in the rain or snow, and although it is not sealed, I was never given any problem, without using even a filtro.rnrnhttp :/ / f.cl.ly/items/0G1T2y1S2x29080t2f2I/IMG_0560.jpg

canon_50_macroCanon EF 50mm f/2.5 Macro

Pros: Optics compact price, the presence of the ring series to use MT-24EX, sharpness

Cons: I do not get to 1:1, slow AF (however, the autofocus on a macro lens is useless) and noisy

Opinion: It 'a great lens, very sharp and allows you to create close up of subjects' relatively' large (eg. Grasshoppers, mantids ...) while maintaining high image clarity and a background sfocato.rnPossiedo always this perspective (I am so pleased to have bought another one) and I can not find faults: in fact, the AF I find it completely useless in macro photography, in addition, you can solve the problem of non-achievement of the RR 1:1 's purchase of any extension tube (I have the Canon, but the Chinese are also fine 10 €). RNE 'also excellent optics for medical photography, especially if combined with the MT-24EX flash, which fits it perfectly to without the need for any ring road (remember that the flash will fit without rings 50 2.5, 100 2.8 IS and 65 non-MPE). rnInfine, is extremely solid perspective (the only flaw is the AF ring, a little 'plasticky) and I have never had any problems, despite being used daily and has suffered countless beatings or has tripped several timesunder the pioggia.rnrnQuindi, I absolutely recommend this respect, it offers a truly excellent quality with a very low price: it requires a bit 'of experience to be exploited better in some situations, but I'm really very soddisfatto.rnrnVoto: 9! rnNon 10, because of slow so perfect there are very few :).

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

Pros: Versatility, small size, speed auto focus, sharpness (even at 400mm!) And construction.

Cons: Stabilizer dated.

Opinion: Totally disagree with anyone who claims that this lens is not sharp at 400mm, I can not recommend it highly to chiunque.rnObiettivo very strong, that does not suffer too little delicate treatments, excellent lens for hunting fotografica.rnIl pump system is very precise and, in my opinion, handy, especially when tracking subjects (such as. pets, vehicles ...). RNAs that regard, the pump system integrates seamlessly with the fastest AF lens that offers this in all modes: I use this lens mostly on the EOS 7D and this is coupled with an impeccable AF system, able to correctly recognize any soggetto.rnL 'only flaw lies in the stabilizer, which is a bit' dated and must be turned off with the camera on a tripod ( it is often forgotten): Another small flaw is the lack of weather sealing, which necessitates the use of plastic bags in the rain, to prevent droplets infiltrate into the optics reducing the focale.rnrnCaldamente recommended!

canon_7dCanon 7D

Pros: Image quality, robustness, speed and quality of the video footage. To give its best requires quality optics.

Cons: Poor performance at very high ISO, shadows little stranded in difficult and no dual slot (cf + sd).

Opinion: I purchased the 7D just come out as an addition to my 450D: of course it was a leap of qualità.rnSono very pleased with the image quality, which I think is excellent up to ISO 800: from 800 up, drops slightly, but up to 2000 ISO is still ottima.rnAgli high ISO there is no comparison with the 450D, which has shaped the image like a cake: for the rest, the speed is his other great value, which makes it excellent for wildlife and sports photography. rnUno of the sore points of this much-discussed machine is the fact that digests only optical quality: for years I have used with optical "battle", in case I have not been able to appreciate the files that is capable of generating only engaging as the optical 100 macro (non IS) or 100-400.rnOra I also use it with the 17-40 and the 135 f / 2 and I must say that I do not regret (almost) anything for the FF.rnInfine, the construction is very sturdy and not has never had any problems, despite the ports everywhere and shots in all conditions, especially in the Rainswing, where the majority of my shooting macro photography: with a good cleaning after the session there are problemi.rnOccorre a bit 'of time before we know how to take full advantage and get good results, so do not recommend it as a first car for a principiante.rnrnDopo the release of firmware 2.0 and the Magic Lantern, the 7D body becomes an excellent machine for making videos: without BG is relatively light (for those who wished to filming on glidecam) and in any case the quality of the video is eccellente.rnHo made many videos with this machine : several have been used for educational purposes and use the 7D to make videos in collaboration with networks televisive.rnrnNon trust those who judge without really knowing the machine: only those who use it for work can do it, all the others are made by people absolutely chatter not competent.
