venus_laowa_65macro_2xVenus Laowa 65mm f/2.8 2x Ultra Macro APO

Pros: Small size, lightweight, very well structured and fluid rings. Very well defined, I see no differences with the other sacred "macro" monsters I have supplied (Nikon 105, 70-180 and 200). In addition, it reaches up to the 2x ratio with a decidedly soft cost. Happy with the purchase (used by RCE Foto, but practically "new") and optical performance.

Cons: It's just manual, no automatism: is it a defect?

Opinion: Only manual, no automatism: it forces you to check once more and think: I don't necessarily see it as a defect, it's like going back to the old SLRs and manual lenses of the past. Only one warning for Fuji XT kit owners (this lens has a Fuji mount for the XT 4): since it does not recognize the paired lens (there are no automatisms) it is essential to set the "settings rings and buttons" option "shoot without ON lens" in the "settings and buttons" menu; otherwise the SLR DOES NOT CLICK.

nikon_dfNikon Df

Pros: It's beautiful (you know a Lancia Delta Rallye, a Jaguar E-Type, a Lancia Fulvia, a Ferrari Dino ...). It has optical viewfinder (priceless), a more than adequate resolution even at the level of "poster", an incredible iso correction of the highs. Possibility of using all Nikon lenses even of antan.

Cons: Slightly angular, it needs an extra handle to hold it well in your hand. It has no "video" and honestly I can't care less: I want to take pictures, not films.

Opinion: I had it in 2014, and I immediately found it appropriate to my shooting style; macro, travel photography. I don't care about the "video": I had Nikon D800E, D850 (still in use, a timeless Ferrari), fuji XT3, Z6 and I never made a video, not even for proof. Photography is something else than video; of course who does both ... I recently joined the 850 Fuji XT3 and E3: mainly to avoid carrying excessive weights in the backpack while hiking in the mountains. Nothing to complain about the files of these machines, but the lack of the "pentaprism" is felt; the surrogate vision of the mirrorless is quite another thing in the case of macro close-up photos, with the use of the focus stacking technique (which I use a lot, even in the absence of a tripod). I was flattered by the sirens for the Z6, great machine but as big as a reflex and electronic vision, the spark did not start and after a short time I returned it. The fact is that discovered at my trusted dealer a new packaging "Df" package and at a discounted price I immediately made the decision to exchange all the Fuji kit with this exceptional SLR. For those like me who have passed into the Nikon universe (F2 Dp1, F3A, F4, F5, F6, F90X, D700, D850, Z6, Df,), apart from the D850 of another planet, the Df is the appropriate synthesis for my type of photography, optimal resolution (I challenge to find big differences on a photo 16 or 24 megapixels), exceptional ISO high control (it has the sensor and processor of the D4 , still considered a "flagship"). If I can give some advice, let's not chase (as I did) the race to megapixels: even today about my photos taken with the D700 (12 MP) and Df (16 MP) and I see no substantial differences (for my type of photography) with the D850. If I went back, I would still hold these 2 SLR cameras, certainly maybe side by side with a PRO body being able to afford it.

benro_a1182miniBenro A1182 Travel Flat Mini

Pros: Compactness, portability, system locking legs.

Cons: None for the purpose for which I bought it.

Opinion: Macro mountain rough trails, backpacking, SLR D800E with 105 micro 2.8, 4.5-5.6 micro 70-180, 4.0 16-35 for photos acclimatized, ring flash; the Manfrotto 055 pro was far too heavy and bulky to carry. Several times I found myself to take it back and do not use it, returning home sfinito.rnIl Travel Mini Flat is exceptional as it is contrived: 3 legs and the head on the same plate, so it looks "flat" and easy to carry even all 'inside the backpack. The head is firmly and with ease machine and objectives pesanti.rnPer the macro, where the height of the tripod is not a problem, it is ottimo.rnVista ease of transport and space is also excellent as a companion landscape photos generally ; it is true that "up" only 78 cm, but because who knows and teaches photography continues to repeat that you should search for a different view from the usual, here is the Mini Flat on one knee and change the perspective. Furthermore, the size really small opening her legs withoutextensions allow you to make even a little wide shelves, such as walls, window sills, ecc.rnDa last, and last but not least, the price is interesting: I bought it on Amazon for less than 130 Euros, complete with case limp, iron tips to replace those on special terrain rubber, key adjustments. It has a little quality "Chinese", materials and details are researched product. rn

benro_c2692tBenro C2692T

Pros: Lightweight, well-transportable (closed 40 cm. !!) And in any case firmly with pro goals.

Cons: No one, or perhaps the central column is too long; but shorter (there is one, however, included) does not allow the closure to a minimum footprint.

Opinion: I purchased it during a plane trip to Jerusalem, looking for a tripod "short" that would allow me to sign him in a trolley contents, and with a weight of "light" to carry in the hot Israeli is at the top for size, weight and , above all, stability. It 'very well finished, despite the "made in China": I had to think again son, they can also make products of quality. The head is smooth and well-controlled, even with the camera in vertical and 70-200 2.8 mounted above. I still have a Manfrotto 055 pro and a Gitzo Explorer practically forgotten in the closet, and I do not regret the stability of each of them. I'm planning to provide them with a Benro head, to have the same type attacks Arca.rnE 'a tripod that can give you great satisfaction because stable and light: if it is heavy leave him in the hotel and does not exploit apertures and times lenti.rn
