fujifilm_x-s10Fujifilm X-S10

Pros: Ergonomics, image quality, price, af in "normal" conditions, customizable presets (C1,C2...), built-in flash, stabilizer, small and light

Cons: AF-C and tracking in harsh conditions, one memory slot, not tropicalized.

Opinion: It's the middle ground I chose to replace my Nikon full-frame SLRs. If it had better af-c and tracking in critical condition, it would be almost perfect. But it's good for 90% of my current uses and at the price it costs it's a great bargain. If I took multiple sports shots in critical condition, I would probably sacrifice one of my 2 xs-10s for an xh2s, but since this is not the case, I gladly save money.

fujifilm_27_f2-8Fujifilm XF 27mm f/2.8

Pros: Compactness; very low weight; ideal focal length combination between 35mm and 50mm eq (obviously it is subjective, everyone is fine with certain focal lengths); optical yield; Constant maximum aperture F2.8

Cons: Autofocus a little noisy and not lightning on x-t10 (much better on x-s10, but always makes noise); lacks diaphragm ring and tropicalization (but is forgiven costing half in the used compared to the 27mm R WR)

Opinion: Mine is made in the Philippines. The only Fujifilm fixed lens I kept. The compactness and low weight make an x-t10/20/30 a virtually pocket-sized camera. Focal length that I love for reportage. Maximum fixed aperture at f2.8 allows good shots even with not abundant light. The optical yield is very good. At full aperture, it rightly gives greater clarity to the center and isolates the subject. Closing at f4 is very homogeneous throughout the frame and improves further up to f8. It performs best on medium distances, on short distances the edges lose a little if you do not close at least at f5.6, the overall yield drops a thread to infinity, but absolutely usable for panoramas if closed at f8-f11, where the yield between center and edges is also quite homogeneous. I believe that its dedicated hood is a must to have no loss of contrast with side and front light up to about 40 degrees. It fits in a pocket, so as a bright or backup lens to take on the road is a must. I put it next to 18-55 f2.8-4. I don't care much about noisy autofocus (it's noisy if you make videos, in photography it's not like you see people turning around for noise): I don't make videos.

sony_a7sSony A7s

Pros: Overall rendering of very natural image, weight, dimensions, low light rendering, awb, jpeg in the room, focus peaking, evf, lcd screen, well-organized and logical menu (put the English language, in Italian it is unusable)

Cons: Single sd slot, not very durable battery. I would like to see level and histogram at the same time.

Opinion: Taken to have a full frame digital body at a low price and with a non-dense sensor to take with me together with my 135 format film cameras, adapting the m42 lenses that I use on the latter. The aim is to be able to shoot in light conditions that are prohibitive for the film or to be able to share some shots on the fly. Great buy. Pleasant image rendering, without digital excesses, excellent performance with vintage optics given the low density of the sensor, also excellent yield at high ISO. Very usable thanks to focus peaking and with good jpegs. Dimensions and minimal weight. Good evf and good lcd. I, who do not like Bayer sensors, did not regret the choice, thanks to the yield given by only 12 MP, which I bless without hesitation. I can't judge af and light meter because I don't use them.

meyer_gorlitz_orestor100_f2-8Meyer Gorlitz Orestor 100mm f/2.8

Pros: Size, construction, blurred

Cons: A little spherical aberration, suffers a little contrast fall against the light (in the norm for similar lenses)

Opinion: Excellent medium canvas for portrait with very natural color rendering, not excessive sharpness at full aperture, which becomes more than adegauata closing by 1 stop and an f8 blade. Beautiful diaphragm with 15 slats. Weight and small dimensions make it an excellent travel companion. It is located at prices that are not exorbitant for what it offers. The blurred is very beautiful and less characterized than the Trioplan, in my opinion much more versatile. https://www.juzaphoto.com/galleria.php?t=4249867&srt=data&show2=1&l=it

fujifilm_xe2Fujifilm X-E2

Pros: Price to be used, image quality, compactness, af suitable for everyday life (excluding children and animals in rapid erratic movement and sports with fast and unpredictable actions), highly customizable, mechanical and electronic shutter, effective af-c face recognition, effective af-s eye recognition, popup flash.

Cons: Single sd slot, impossible to disassemble the battery or sd card without removing it from the tripod, screen definition and evf a little poor, latitude of pose that does not forgive on the highlights (better expose for highlights and lighten the shadows with a flash or pp)

Opinion: Compared to the x-e1 that I already own, it maintains excellent shape and ergonomics even for me who have huge hands (I do not use grips and various extensions). It maintains a very beautiful and analog image quality and does not put the less noble lenses on the rope. It is customized as you want with 6 programmable function keys. It weighs little and takes up little space (but do not think that it is in your pocket with the lens mounted). A great improvement in autofocus compared to the x-e1, it also has in addition electronic shutter and eye recognition (af-s) and faces (af-c, af-s) that works reasonably well (if you need to photograph a possessed model who climbs on the ceiling and then vomits green, take a camera with more recent eye af). I update saying that I was away on vacation and I needed to make a portrait shooting, I had behind only the Fijifilm X-E2 and two Fuji lenses (35mm f2 xc and 60mm f2.4 macro). I applaud the fact that the X-E2 has the integrated flash, with which I could control the strobes in slave without the need for a dedicated transmitter and without wiring anything via cable. The shots came just fine and the 30x40cm prints are spectacular. Moral: in my opinion we make too many mental pippe with oversized equipment, the shots made with the X-E2 have nothing to envy to those who are from my Nikon FF and only a slightly less exciting rendering in black and white than my beloved Sigma SD Quattro H, which in that for me has no rivals. Addendum further: another holiday, another opportunity, Fujifilm X-E2 always up to the mark! Photos to theatrical representation of company of national caliber, delivered JPEG ready the same evening, ISO from 1600 to 6400, color profile Negative standard, wb custom: excellent detail and little noise, excellent for web and prints up to 40x60. How cool! Very discreet mechanical shutter sound (electronic one not for banding). Representation about 2 hours, made about 400 photos with 2 bodies, battery consumed for 1/3 in each body, no burst. In the end the best camera is the one you have with you!

fujifilm_x-e1Fujifilm X-E1

Pros: Robust construction, compactness, lightness, aesthetics, x-trans sensor 16 MP, integrated flash, ergonomics of use, automatic white balance almost always perfect even with difficult light, good ISO seal up to 1600, after detail and color yield drop.

Cons: Rudimentary AF-C to say the least, single sd memory slot, focus peaking only white color.

Opinion: A camera that for what it offers and that currently costs is mandatory to buy. The sensor is one of the best x-trans i've ever tried: excellent detail rendering due to the absence of an AA filter, but MP also suitable for the use of vintage lenses. Analog and sincere rendering. Ergonomics is also perfect for large hands even if the camera is compact. Great construction. Very suitable for travel, street, reportage, photography designed. Unfortunately the AF-C which is as if there is no penalty for dynamic shots, but for those there are other cameras, perhaps more modern than this one from 8 years ago.

sigma_sd_quattro_hSigma SD Quattro H

Pros: Ergonomics, image quality, solid construction, available quality optics, fantastic black and white, removable and removable ir filter with ease (2 real seconds). Sigma Photo Pro development software works wonders if you know how to use it and if you have proper hardware. Very well done Tethered Sigma Capture Pro shooting software.

Cons: Single memory slot, no electronic shutter or first electronic curtain

Opinion: To review this camera you must first of all understand what it is built for, otherwise you give bizarre judgments that sound like "this Ferrari is uncomfortable on the dirt road". Intended use: studio photography, landscape photography, architecture photography, product photography, macrophotography, portrait, reproduction of works of art, fashion photography Merits: construction quality, image quality, ease of use. Image quality: natural detail rendering, very high detail, very high color depth (reproduces shades of color that Bayer sensors simply do not see). This results in very three-dimensional images and with very natural tonal passages. The yield is medium format. With this camera my images need very little post production. Black and white: The characteristics of the Foveon sensor allow an unreliable black and white for a Bayer sensor, perhaps the Foveon is only exceeded by the Leica monochrome sensor (do two counts on costs and versatility). Infrared photography: the IR filter is removed (and then reassembled) in a few moments and a special filter in front of the lens is enough to shoot in infrared. Performance af: more than suitable for use, face recognition works well. Battery grip: done well, improves grip and autonomy. Flash compatibility: My godox flashes and Godox transmitter (all for Nikon) work well in manual, no ittl. What I would have liked: dual memory slot (for when not shooting thethered), electronic shutter or first electronic curtain (to eliminate shuttershock risk). It's not for everyone, it's for those who know what they want. To me it changed photography for the better (and photographer for 30 years). This camera really deserves, I invite you to try it for yourself, comparing it to a high-level Bayer sensor camera (I compared it to Nikon D850, 47MP without AA filter: it won the Sigma for image quality).

sigma_sd_quattroSigma SD Quattro

Pros: See Sigma sd four h

Cons: . See sigma sd four h

Opinion: See Sigma sd four h (unfortunately I was wrong and I wrote the review of sd four h in the section of sd four). This is not so bad because apart from the resolution the two cameras are identical. I chose the H for the least crop factor that gave me wide-angle side advantages and to be more comfortable with any crop. --?--------------------------------------------------

nikon_24_f2-8dNikon AF 24mm f/2.8 D

Pros: Compact, well-built, sharp enough, good flare resistance in backlight, construction, color yield, well-readable tonal passages

Cons: At the edges it loses a bit if not closed to f5.6-f8. Slight drop in contrast and saturation in the backlight.

Opinion: I have a lens produced in 1988, which I have been using for a long time with great satisfaction. The main use is for portrait set, where, arranging the subject in an appropriate way, you can overcome the known perspective distortions related to the wide angle and where you can take advantage of the good rendering already at full opening that characterizes the 2/3 center of the frame. The blurring is good, without exaggeration, as indeed makes sense in a portrait set, where you want the environment to be readable anyway (otherwise it is useless to set it). For the cost, it's a superb optics.

nikon_af28-105dNikon AF 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5 D

Pros: Versatility, weight and footprint contained, macro function, color and tonal passage yield, full-opening good, a blade in the center closing a stop to all the focal points on D850, very good edges from f6.3 to f11

Cons: They don't do it anymore!

Opinion: Another superb lens along with his younger brother 28-70 f3.5-4.5 d.A lens that does everything right and you can take yourself anywhere. It's a shame they don't do it anymore. For the price you can find used is given away. Do you want to take a portrait? From 85 to 105 a ta is perfect. You want to do reportage: from 35 to 50 is perfect at ta and even better closed by 1/2 stop. Do you want to make landscape? Close between f 6.3 and f11 and you're good to go. You want to do macro: close from f6.3 to f8 and you're good to go. To be moved by how honest this lens is in every respect.

nikon_28-70_f3-5dNikon AF 28-70mm f/3.5-4.5 D

Pros: Compact, light, no ghost and a few flares, little distortion at 28mm, minimum distance of maf reduced, excellent color yield, deriful price (for what it offers is given if you pay 100E, excellent sharpness on the whole frame closing by 1 stop (on Nikon D850 from 47 Mp!), a ta is quite sharp in the center and gradually decays to the edges (great for portraits)

Cons: THEY DON'T DO IT ANYMORE!... The lens rotates during the maf (uncomfortable for circular polarizer).

Opinion: If Nikon had simply updated this optics with a real aspheric lens (no hybrid - plastic glued to glass) and a few extra seals, you could have saved virtually every other zoom in this range of focals, maybe making an f2.8 only for those who just can't do without it (and they are few, compared to those who buy the 24-70 f2.8). I haven't been good with this zoom, taken used at 90E. I mounted it on the D850. He made me chapeau. It weighs 1/3 of the 24-70 f2.8 g and in my possession. And the yield is really beautiful. Moral: I'm going to sell the 24-70 f2.8. I do not make much of 1 stop less and 4mm less than the f2.8 (with Nikon D850 and Nikon D5 if shot at 12800 ISO and mold 20x30 is equal that if I had shot at 6400 ISO), while I am very pleased with the other qualities of this small wonder (made color, compactness, lightness). I'm only concerned about the tightness of the hybrid aspheric lens (glue between plastic and glass). Edit: Recently used "for challenge" for studio photos, with a really good rendering. The photos were perfect as outputs: crisp, consistent color yield, soft, progressive tonal passages. I can only reiterate the goodness of this lens.

nikon_28_f2-8aisNikon 28mm f/2.8 AI-s

Pros: Optical yield, size, compactness, build quality, minimum distance maf 20 cm with close range correction, absence of distortion, sharp to ta from edge to edge

Cons: They don't do it anymore. He doesn't have the Af. It's not tropicalized.

Opinion: I was lucky enough to be able to buy it again in 2020 (stock residue). It's a stratospheric optics. It has an impressive sharpness on the edge without optical distortion, even 20 cm from the subject. It is a versatile lens, compact, well built. A great lens for me. It beats only the 28mm f1.4d, but at ta it is not so sharp and does not have the same homogeneity from edge to edge up to f4. And it costs used 2 times this new. If you don't need an af, this is the 28mm to take for Nikon.

voigtlander_nokton58iiVoigtlander SL II Nokton 58mm f/1.4

Pros: Construction, size and weight content, blurred, sharpening, color rendering, contacts for confirmation af and exif data (Nikon F version), quality/price

Cons: If it had the af would be more usable to ta even on moving subjects, purple fringing a ta, missing diaphragm block.

Opinion: For the low expense, really a lot of surrender. With this lens you have a blurry yield and a scary floor detachment for a 58mm, with the advantage of greater versatility even in portrait than a higher focal. The sharpness in the center is very good already at ta, chuudendo of a stop becomes a blade in the center and very good at the edges. The construction is excellent and the maf dial has a run perfetta.su quite static subjects you can safely focus even with the help of the maf confirmation ball. On moving subjects, at a close range... It takes handle and luck. Overall a great lens at a great price.

nikon_af55_microNikon 55mm f/2.8 AF Micro

Pros: Sharp even at full opening and homogeneous up to the edges of f4, wonderful mechanical construction, sublime overall optical rendering with excellent blur and gradual tonal passages, af precise, construction that shields the front lens as there was a light lampshade, light, Compact.

Cons: Af a little slow (for static macros and portrait goes BENISSIMO). They haven't done it (since 1987)... Sigh.

Opinion: What a beautiful lens! Too bad they haven't done it since 1987. I was lucky enough to find a virtually perfect specimen, without oil on the diaphragm, without dust, mold, scratches, well centered and with perfect maf without having to micro-adjust. In my opinion as a focal is more versatile than the 60mm af-d macro. I recommend it unreservedly if you find a copy in good condition.

sigma_105macro_osSigma 105mm f/2.8 Macro DG OS HSM

Pros: Optical yield, price

Cons: Not compatible with Sigma Optimization Pro software, a bit plastic construction, not tropicalized, noisy stabilizer and not too effective

Opinion: Optical yield better than the Nikon 105 which costs twice as much. Otherwise better the Nikon. Being a macro lens, where what matters is the optical yield, the cost that is half of the Nikon tends to make it a good alternative purchase. It is a sharper hair than the Nikon at the edges and has fewer chromatic aberrations. The af is as precise and fast as the Nikon (not a lightning without a limiter, but it is a macro lens). It's very annoying that it's not compatible with the Sigma software to calibrate the microregulation based on the distance of maf. With Sigma tc 14 it goes well and is great for moving insects like butterflies. Overall a good product. You can see that the lower cost compared to the Nikon is not only Nital and brand, because compared to the Nikon is clearly built worse and is not tropicalized, but with the money with which you buy this, you buy half Nikon, so in the end it's fine. I sold my Nikon 105 2.8 vr used because it was sated and not recoverable with microregulation af (20 was not enough): as long as I used it on static subjects in live view no problem, but for subjects on the move it became impossible. With the Sigma, I was fine with the broken headphone because "20 compensates perfectly and with tc 14 I just need a .11.

irix_15mm_f2-4Irix 15mm f/2.4

Pros: Construction, infinite click, infinite adjustment, lockable window on lampshade to rotate filters, focus lock, f2.4, possibility of front screw and rear jelly filters, little distortion, good flare handling.

Cons: Nothing special.

Opinion: I have the Firefly version, made of plastic but built very well. It is a lens that is seen to have been designed on the basis of the needs of those who make landscape and astrophotography. Infinite click and adjustable infinity allow you to focus on infinity without looking (in the dark, for example); the maf ring has a bulge that allows a safe grip even with heavy gloves (useful for those who take photos in the cold!); The maf block allows you not to inadvertently lose the correct maf, perhaps by screwing an ND1000 filter to the lens after focusing without; The lampshade has an opening and resealable window to rotate a polarizing filter without removing the lampshade itself; You can use filters to the front screw (95mm,a bloodletting, but less than the slab ones) and rear jellies; the firefly version is also tropicalized (albeit with a few less seals). The price used is even more tempting than the new one. A lens for me really well thought out and carefully crafted. The image quality is very good, with excellent sharpness in the center and also at the edges if you close to f5.6-f11 (as you use to do in landscape). At the corners the coma is up to f3.5, then it goes much better, considering that it is a 15mm you can think of cropping away the worst corners in pp. I vignette abundantly up to f5.6, but it is in the norm for a 15mm f2.4 and honestly corrects itself in a click in pp. It distorts little on ff, with simple cushion distortion, even here with two clicks goes into place. The conclusion that this lens leads me to synthesize is: probably the ergonomics of use and some simple found in certain photographic areas count as much as the quality of the image, because it is definitely better to take photos in focus with an Irix taking advantage of the block of the maf dive or adjusting in the field (maybe at - 20 degrees, that a little stand the calibration of the maf) the scale of infinity, rather than taking out-of-focus photos with a Zeiss Batis because you do not realize that you have a little moved the maf guineas by screwing a filtr or ND1000. All at a price that is clearly palatable. Good Irix!

nikon_ais28pcNikon 28mm f/3.5 PC Ai-S

Pros: Construction, size and weight content, versatility, optical quality

Cons: No exif data

Opinion: Beautiful lens for me. The construction is something wonderful. The possibility of shift makes it perfect for architectural photos and panoramas obtained through the stitching of multiple photos made by shift. From f5.6 to f8 the sharpness is good and homogeneous from the center to the edges. Through the live view it is possible to always have an optimal view of the scene without the darkening due to shifting and zooming and/or with focus peaking the manual focus is easy. I find it a great choice for travel, panorama and architecture. The yield is more contrasting than the Af-d series, but the thing in architecture and landscape comes in handy. For the price at which you find a good used, it's worth it. If you also need tilt and clutter and weight are not a problem, the Nikon 24 mm ts is optically better and costs 5 times as much.

genesis_bh46Genesis BH-46

Pros: Head included with Genesis C5, robust, precise, fluid

Cons: The knob that blocks/unlocks the panoramic rotation at the base has detached from the screw that commands, I had to fix it with glue type superattack

Opinion: Good head to use with heavy equipment, I also use it with Sigma 150-600th TC 14th Nikon D5 on Genesis C5 and until now I have not missed the lack of a head to barbell. Considering the cost, I'd say it's a great choice. The only downside in my case was the knob of the 360-degree panoramic rotation adjustment, which detached from the adjustment screw and which I had to fix again with high-seal glue.

nikon_d5Nikon D5

Pros: Ergonomics; precision, consistency and AF speed; sensor yield; noise quality at high ISOs; Perfect file size for most uses; double xqd slot; monstrous buffer; very fast burst; battery life; Perfect automatic white balance 99% of the time; Design.

Cons: No wi-fi, no bt, no focus peaking, silent live view photography that produces only resized JPEGs (and not RAW full res as on Nikon D850), banding with electronic shutter (silent live view photography).

Opinion: Simply the best camera I've ever used. Weight is not a problem, the size is not even: the ergonomics are simply perfect. Where the D850 is, with a little commitment is you. I didn't have to change backpacks and bags. The performance is wonderful. The image rendering is amazing. High ISO noise has a quality that makes photos enjoyable and workable (I speak of 52,000 ISO!). Purchased used Nital (benefits of paid LTR assistance even with expired warranty) constitutes a best buy.

nikon_180_f2-8dNikon AF 180mm f/2.8 D ED IF

Pros: Size and weight content, image quality (good to ta sharpness, a razor from f4; rich color shades, gradual tonal passages, three-dimensionality, pleasant and soft blurring, even in the foreground), price, construction.

Cons: Fringing, loses af on non-motorized bodies.

Opinion: Probably the best fixed I've got. The AF tried it by taking pictures of dogs in agility and I can not complain in paired with the D850. For what I paid him is a best buy. More modern optics of focal peers and opening weigh twice as much, are made of plastic, have no integrated lampshade, cost 3-5 times as much. Ok, they have the vr and the af that also works on ml. If you need these features, you have to sacrifice yourself. The only thing I would have liked would have been the compatibility with the Nikon tcs. I have to see if with other brands it works.

nikon_20_f2-8dNikon AF 20mm f/2.8 D

Pros: Small size, low weight, 52mm filters, overall yield (colors, microcontrast, tonal steps), good resistance to flare.

Cons: Less sharp than the 20mm f1.8G between f2.8 and f5.6 (above virtually equal), not tropicalized.

Opinion: I carried out intensive testing within a day, so for long-term opinions I will update if I notice differences. Let's start against: less sharp than the 20mm f1.8G between f2.8 and f5.6. Not tropicalized. End. As a overall rendering I prefer it to my already loved 20mm f1.8G. Better tonal steps, best microcontrast with lower general contrast, best tonal steps (already said, I repeat to reiterate the concept), more open shadows. I mean, it's an old-fashioned view. Why did I take it despite already having 20mm f1.8G? Because I love the yield of the d series (currently I have 20mm, 35mm, 50mm and 85mm) and especially because you do not beat it for weight and small size. Working the photo in pp gets sharpness comparable to 20mm f1.8 G. If the most extreme edges are a problem, just cut them out (taking them into account when shooting). The coma at the corners on ff is scary, but again, I crop them into pp and farewell problem. A view that won me over. Update: After a few days of use, coupled with my D600, this lens gave me some of my most beautiful shots.

venus_laowa_60_macro2xVenus Laowa 60mm f/2.8 2x Macro

Pros: Construction, from infinity to 2:1, overall yield, completely mechanical

Cons: Vignette on FF (more to infinity and closed diaphragms), no EXIF data.

Opinion: My model is for Nikon F. A beautiful lens, built entirely of metal, the gravels are perfect. The diaphragm has a click of entry to the seat when it reaches the correct position to the various diaphragms, the one of focus is fluid but well clutched. A pleasure to hold and use. It is a fully mechanical lens, so it will basically last a lifetime and if it will need maintenance it will be feasible from many repair centers. The con is that it does not communicate with the camera, so no exif data related to the opening (if needed), nor confirmation of focus (it would be useful). Vignette, a bit even at 2:1,on ff. A infinity on ff vignette conspicuously. In the use macro is great (I set the reproduction ratio and I approach or move away from the subject), but it is also great as a generic lens, taking into account the vignette. For me that I started shooting when there was no autofocus, it is not a tangle problem to focus even with pentaprism and without stigmometer or frosted slide, but I would not recommend it for action and events, if anything for portrait and landscape. The well-frictioned but fluid dial helps so much in the maf. In conclusion it is an excellent lens with an overall yield (sharpness, microcontrast, tonal passages, blurred and chromas) very good. All at a more than correct price. Found import at 300E new, it is a best buy if you search for a 60mm that ranges from infinity to an rr of 2:1.

nikon_d600Nikon D600

Pros: Construction, dynamic range, value for money, battery life

Cons: Known problem of shutter that soils the sensor.

Opinion: A tank with which you can do any kind of photography. For years it was my main machine and I did everything from studio photos to portraits, from architecture photos to show photos, from macros to sports to birdlife. I've had two in my life, the first purchased new, shutter replacement in warranty for known problem, then changed two more times for wear, more than 1 million shots in total. The second socket used at 500E practically new. There is, I believe, no other camera with equal value for money. Except for the D610 which is pretty much the same and is at a great price both new and used. A real work mule.

nikon_16-35vrNikon AF-S 16-35mm f/4 G ED VR

Pros: Clarity across the field already from f4 (excluding 35mm), distortion noteworthy only at 16mm (corrects in the room), discreet resistance to flare, use of 77mm filters, VR, color yield, minimum focus distance, weight and quite modest size, versatility, zoom and AF INTERNI (it does not rotate anything, nothing comes out, no dust comes in), tropicalized.

Cons: At 35mm as sharpness drops a bit to f4 and you have to close to f5, 6-f8.

Opinion: Great beautiful lens, with a very versatile range of focals, fantastic the zoom and af interior mechanism. Ideal for landscapes and architecture (most obvious distortion at 16mm,solvable directly in the room). With a small minimum maf distance, it can also be used for close-up and creative shots. Coupled with 70-200 f4 is an exceptional combination. Personally I mount the 16-35 on the Nikon D850 (where thanks to the high number of Mpixels I can crop in the room or in pp to get the focal points between 35mm and 70mm) and the 70-200 on Nikon D600. If you do not want to complicate life with a 14-24 f2.8 (unmanageable by weight, clutter and impossibility of easy use of filters) and you can give up an f2.8, this is the right lens.

Cons: Honestly nothing

Opinion: A beautiful lens. If you don't need an f2.8 (and need a lot less than you think about a zoom like this), this lens is the best choice in the range 70-200 for Nikon F. The fuzzy is very good (diaphragm 9 rounded lanelle). The VR very effective. The minimum focus distance of 1 meter allows for good macro use. The focal length remains the one indicated at the minimum focusing distance. Being an internal zoom does not enter dust with the use, it does not blow air on the sensor, it does not unbalance zooming. It's tropicallized. Very nice lens.

nikon_afs20_f1-8Nikon AF-S 20mm f/1.8 G ED

Pros: Sharpness, colors, very large distortion, brightness

Cons: Coma at the edges (is certainly not among the worst, i default CROPPO all photos of stars because who more who less than coma suffer all lenses and I can not suffer), not tropicalized

Opinion: One of my favorite lenses. Architecture, night shots, panoramas are the uses to which I submit more. Sharp while retaining a character, not aseptic. I love her. 20mm for some uses in architecture is too long as focal, it would be better 16mm, but I preferred the rendition of this lens to a shorter focal, I arrange as I can. Ad f 1.8 is a bit softer at the edges, but it remains acceptable and above all just close to F2-2.8 to see already a rendition of fear. Vignette so much at the maximum aperture, but it may not be bad and it corrects in a click or directly in the room. Very fast and reliable AF (not that it is a necessity with this type of lens, but can please)

nikon_70-300vrNikon AF-S 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G ED VR

Pros: Versatility, relative lightness, price both in absolute and in relation to the quality

Cons: Not effectively multiplied (too dark, often the AF goes into the ball), not tropicalized

Opinion: A good versatile lens. The sharpness is good at the center aperture Little, it is necessary to arrive between F8 and F11 to have homogeneous sharpness. It makes the best between 100-150mm, good between 85-100 and between 150-200. At 70mm and at 300mm it's a little too soft for my liking. Good contrast and good colors, distortion quite acceptable given the excursion, some chromatic aberration. Discreet the VR, which works well although it is not a lightning to enter fully in operation. Personally the use on the road especially for portraits and landscape. I tried to use it in naturalistic, but it is better and generally needs a longer focal length. For portrait in studio I prefer the 85mm 1.8 D, for landscapes when I go specifically to make photos I prefer the 105mm f2.8 micro (flanked to 20mm f 1.8 g or the 24-70 f 2.8 g ed or 35mm f2d). But when I travel this lens is attached to my D600 as a second body (I don't use it on densest sensors like the d850, because it doesn't solve them as efficiently, on the travel d850 I mount the 24-70 F 2.8). Ultimately an honest lens that is at great prices, comfortable, sharp enough by diaphragming a bit and using it between 85mm and 200mm pulls out the best. Any better? Yes, but for my travel needs it is suitable.

sigma_150-600cSigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM C

Pros: Price, weight, size, optical performance, AF performance, flexibility thanks to firmware upgrades, to customizations thanks to the docking station (sold at Little Price) and to the various settings of IOS and AF, focal perfect for naturalistic, Pairing with TC1401 (1.4 x) that practically does not affect the quality of the shots (maximum equivalent focal on sensor with DX area equal to 1260mm!), tripod ring, shoulder strap for lens, lens case, hood.

Cons: Not received for now

Opinion: Tested for 8 consecutive hours for photos of Avifauna with Nikon D850. Made 779 photos. First time in my life that they are ALL perfectly in focus. Weight not excessive, all well balanced, AF to thrill for consistency and speed, absolute sharpness from F 7.1 to F9, matched to the TC Sigma 1, 4x and used on sensor area DX (1, 5x) is a telescope practically! If I think I paid him two money used I laugh. Already at the price of the new for what you get is given. It Remains the uncertainty of the duration in time, but with what it churn if you use it properly the cost from new is amortizes in a few months. Update confirming that the files obtained with this lens at 5000 ISO on Nikon D850 with two steps in PP become admirable for sharpness and yield. A professional lens camouflaged by amateur product.

nikon_85_f1-8dNikon AF 85mm f/1.8 D

Pros: Compact, solid, luminous, colour rendition, micro-contrast

Cons: AF noisy (but generally not used to shoot video). The real problem is that they don't do it anymore...

Opinion: Bought used, paid a price more than just for the quality of this lens. For portraits it's phenomenal. More than adequate sharpness and chromatic dream rendition. Blurry very good. F 1.8 is fine. In my opinion for portraits under F 1.8 except for very special needs does not make sense, the depth of field becomes ridiculous. Instead today we run to those who have the smallest (the value of f...). Too bad they don't do any more lenses like that.

nikon_dfNikon Df

Pros: Light, compact, immediate analog controls, wonderful sensor

Cons: Excessive price; one SD memory slot

Opinion: Beautiful machine, perfect as a second body or to go out light without losing in quality. I had it in practice provided to me by a friend and honestly I would like to buy it as a second body to accompany my D850. Only it costs too much to be new for my taste. I'll look for a good used, maybe someone who was disappointed...
