olympus_m60_macroOlympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 60mm f/2.8 Macro

Pros: Weight, dimensions, cost

Cons: no hood

Opinion: An incredible lens if you evaluate the yield in relation to cost, weight and size. Tiny, you can keep it in your pocket, and manages to have great incisiveness and a good blurred ... of course, it is still a 60mm and if you compare it with the bokeh produced by a 180mm on FF it comes out with a bit broken bones, but in comparison to the aforementioned it looks like a doll lens ... I use it with the OM-1 and I must say that they are a deadly combination for exploration... I use the Micro 4:3 as a lightweight kit when exploring new areas, to decide if it's worth coming back with the heavy equipment... In this sense, it greatly exceeds the needs, still giving quality images. A lens that, analyzed in its context, is portentous.

canon_85_f1-8Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM

Pros: Cost, yield

Cons: Does not have the hood in the package, plastic construction, soft to TA

Opinion: Optics with excellent value for money: if the portrait is not your bread and butter, it will allow you to enter that world without spending a capital ... Just close a stop sign to have a good sharpness: light, small, transportable, it is an excellent starting point. Also easy to find on the second-hand market.

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

Pros: Great sharpness, minimum distance focus, made with Canon multiplier 1,4xIII

Cons: for non-removable tripod ring (you can remove the foot only)

Opinion: I state that I have had both the old 100-400 that the legendary 400 5.6, passing from Tamron 150-600 and Canon 70-200 f4 IS and Canon 70-300 L.rnL'ho series tested with Canon 1DX and 7DII: optical excellent, very clear and very versatile. AF very fast, very good stabilizzatore.rnHa very great qualities as the minimum focus distance and the ability to work well with the multiplier Canon 1.4xIII (with cameras that support the AF f8 aperture). Excellent companion for 500 and 600mm super telephoto type, is a lens of great value to those who will use it for hiking or otherwise in situations where too many pounds are not gestibili.rnIn coupled with Canon 1.4xIII multiplier you eat at breakfast (in terms of sharpness and AF) the Tamron 150-600. Costs double that, but they could afford is in my opinion a much more far-sighted choice. You pay more, it is true, but the image quality and construction, and the price resistance over time, is definitely in favor of Canon.rn

canon_50_f1-8_v2Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 II

Pros: Sharpness, weight, cost

Cons: construction, non-USM AF

Opinion: Lens with a value for money ... stratospheric costs 100 euro and allows so many trials ... It will not be clear already at room temperature, but even at f 2.8 says its ... Used on 1DX in a situation of extreme darkness, during an evening wedding, I was allowed to go on until late at night, with only the light of candles, without flash.rnConsigliatissimo also for beginners and want to buy the first fixed lens. Equally recommended for those who want a jolly lens that weighs nothing and can be kept in your backpack practically zero.rnCerto weight, seems to touch a toy Fisher-Price, but you can not have everything for that amount! :-D

canon_2x_v3Canon EF 2.0x III

Pros: Quality construction, duplicates the focal-D

Cons: price

Opinion: I'm not a great lover of focal doublers ... Despite this I have always had one, since I am in Canon ... rnLo kept practically fixed on the Sigma 120-300 OS, one of the few zoom bear it, and I sold as soon as I sold quest'ottica.rnPreso the Canon 600 f4 IS the first set, I had the curiosity to prove it over and I bought the second copy, but it did not go well ... the multiplier worked fine, but on 1DIV and 5DIII the yield of the 600 I was not satisfied and so I rivenduto.rnQuando I switched to 1DX, I have taken back the curiosity and I bought the third Canon 2xIII ... and this time it went! : -DrnNonostante The doubler the picture is very engraved (especially around f13) and AF, although slowed down, it still manages to seguire.rnPer me the Canon 2xIII is a kind of necessary evil: I try to never use it, but when need is great to know that there is, that is as sturdy as a piece of steel, which is weather sealed ... rnCosta expensive, but allows otherwise impossible shots.

canon_70-300lCanon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 L IS USM

Pros: Construction, sharpness, hike focal size

Cons: Position of the ring for the change of focal length, maximum aperture

Opinion: 2C then it's definitely worth ... RNE 'one of those lenses that could be metaphorically likened to a pack mule: if they speak little, no coat of arms, but always brings home his work ... a bit' as another famous L-series lens: the 17-40 ... compared to the latter, however, micro-contrast and sharpness are really eccellenti.rnAvere the 70-300 L in your backpack is a certainty, and if you have to report to a client , you know how important this is ... once you understand its characteristics and its "behavior" in the field, not tradisce.rnrnUn'ultima known for fotonaturalisti: the focal length is not very long, and those who want to "stretch" with a single lens, I feel certainly recommend the new Tamron 100-400 or 150-600 (I got them both and then I speak advisedly) ... vice versa, for those who love (like me) the small 400 f5.6 and the its excellent quality, this 70-300 might be an ideal companion camera body, 70-300 L, 400 5.6 and 1.4 multiplier could be a backpack beautiful and not too heavy (but a dark threador, then eye to the surrender at high iso) to go to photograph wildlife, with a lot of quality and great adaptability ...

canon_1dxCanon 1DX

Pros: AF fiction, burst, "docility" of the files, made at high ISO, dual CF

Cons: Weight, size, cost

Opinion: The Canon 1DX is a constant surprise ... always ... always ... rnEspone engages perfectly, held in amazing high ISO (6400 ISO 1DX are treated more easily than the already excellent 3200 5DIII) Selling ... 5DIII and 1DIV hoped to arrive at a camera body itself, bringing together the best aspects of both SLR ... The 1DX goes much, much further ... has in it the better of the two, squared. Stratosferica.rnNon the slightest regret megapixel 5DIII: even crop the 1DX holds fine detail.

tamron_150-600vcTamron SP 150-600mm f/5-6.3 Di VC USD

Pros: Weight, hike focal, construction quality, detail, stabilizer.

Cons: Dynamic AF in photography (especially with some reflex), limiter.

Opinion: The Tamron is honest perspective, which is worth more than it costs ... It 'a lens that allows you to reach 600mm with just over 1000 euro and therefore represents an excellent first lens for those who want to bring to the photograph of nature. The Tamron is also an excellent companion for 500 and 600mm super telephoto as ... light, compact, with a minimum distance of focus of relief ... well alongside fixed lenses, perhaps on a second body macchina.rnIl limiter is almost useless in my opinion, and I found it very effective stabilizzatore.rnSicuramente a lens that, despite its obvious limitations, certainly recommend to the beginner as amateur evoluto.rnL'ho taken to replace the Canon 100-400 as a companion of my 600 f4 and I'm not absolutely pentito.rnAggiorno this review: one month after writing it, I was forced to sell the optics to monetize ... I've heard so much lack, that seven months after I regained. Even with this second copy all right, I confirm his impressions from the first.

canon_135_f2Canon EF 135mm f/2.0 L USM

Pros: Sharpest already at room temperature, blurred beautiful, three-dimensional, excellent construction.

Cons: Difficult to find

Opinion: Optics for the beautiful portrait: light, crisp, beautiful blurred, luminosissima.rnSono lover of 135mm (I was the extraordinary Pentax DA * 50-135mm) Canon and this perspective is a wonderful interpretation of this focal length. Excellent for portraits, crystal clear already at room temperature, which makes it an ideal companion in low light situations where you do not want or that you can not use the flash.rnNelle pictures of still life (drops, smoke ...) in where before I used the Tamron 180mm macro, now use this wonderful medium 135mm tele.rnPrima of this, I had the Canon 200mm f2, 8 II: Two excellent optics, but I find that the 135mm is sharper at f2 despite being a TA.

canon_200_f2-8Canon EF 200mm f/2.8 L II USM

Pros: Great focus, incisive, lightweight, fast AF, excellent construction. Price on the used market very favorable.

Cons: Missing the stabilizer, but honestly I've never felt the need. In my opinion does not bear well the extender.

Opinion: Optics uncommon, but really good. Value for money really extraordinary is used around 500-600 Euros and worth much, much more. Very sharp and nice fuzzy, though not reaching the levels of 135 L (which I have now). RnL'ho used with great satisfaction for close-ups in event photography: joined to a 17-40 or a 24-70 allows cover, with great quality, any need in these contexts.

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

Pros: Excursion of Focal great, all in all not very heavy, operating speed, buys and sells used without losing much. Minimum distance of MAF remarkable.

Cons: Stabilizer dated but still helps, lack of weather sealing, a little 'dark but still manageable. The pump system is something they need a little 'getting used to and that "pulls in" potentially a little' dust.

Opinion: Honest perspective, that plays very well his job. Great for wildlife, trekking and excellent companion fixed lenses like 600mm and 500mm focal length of the tour ... and the minimum distance of MAF make it ideal to be attached to the lens placed on a super telephoto 400mm treppiede.rnPrima had an excellent 5 6 replaced with the 100-400 when I took the 600mm f4: I needed dynamism and so I made the change. Everyone told me that I would regret to death the sharpness of the 100-400 400ino and instead proved to be a loyal companion, who made me rimpiangere.rnOttica definitely recommended if you already have a super-telephoto fixed focal length. If you already have a zoom on the other hand, I would recommend the 400 5.6 for faster AF. RnVenduto in favor of the new Tamron 150-600 to stretch further and have a zoom from travel, to leave the house directly to 5kg of 600 when The situation requires various boarding ...

canon_1d4Canon 1D Mark IV

Pros: Strength, workability of files, great exposure, battery life, gust.

Cons: Compared to the new 1DX 5DIII and customization system AF is quite aged. Weight, but if you buy a series 1 will be prepared. Shutter sound pretty strong.

Opinion: And 'now a year and a half shot with the 1DIV, who accompanied me in every photographic adventure made since I switched from Pentax to Canon.rnDire that I am fully satisfied it would be simplistic: the 1DIV is a reliable companion, indestructible, very docile (the files are recovered very well) ... In addition to 2000 ISO depending on the type of shooting you begin to lose significant detail (plumage, for example), although with some forethought and with good light you can almost always overcome even RNLA battery ... this is eternal, the operating speed eccezionale.rnIl video back is not really true (the shots tend to appear worse than they are then in reality), but just conoscerlo.rnUsandola alongside a Canon 5DIII, I would say that the setting of AF 1DIV is aged ... What differs greatly from the Mark IV are 5DIII the burst and the so-called shutter lag, decidedly in favor of the older ... The 5DIII has better customization of the AF system, a yield stratospheric high ISO and a quality & agraI, clearly superiore.rnAd files today recommend a 1DIV used rather than a new 5DIII only to those who MUST take 10fps, to those who only want to photograph subjects in PhotosNature dynamic and those who matter to bring the camera in very extreme weather conditions. For the rest, I find that the 5DIII is preferable, although it lacks some interesting features (first of all the manual exposure meter prong) ... all this in consideration of the price, in my opinion, too, that you will find 1DIV on the used market.

canon_600_f4isCanon EF 600mm f/4 L IS USM

Pros: Bright, with a striking, remarkable detail blurred separation between planes

Cons: Dimensions, weight, minimum focusing distance (5.5 meters)

Opinion: Outstanding optics that gives incredible detail even at full aperture. The stabilizer works very well, although the use of categorical almost door-to-use tripod poco.rnL 'AF is quite fast, it becomes lightning activating the limiter distanza.rnL' I have used with great satisfaction with the canon 1.4 extender XIII without noticing decay of image or the speed of AF, while with the 2xIII I was not very satisfied ... I would use it only for dire emergency because, in my opinion, kill a little 'optics, which in this case, does not deserve to be killed just. : DrnNel complex-a dream come true for me!

pentax_k7Pentax K-7

Pros: Excellent ergonomics (which reached celestial levels, for those with large hands, with a battery grip), very rugged, excellent sealing ... Rain, snow, beach they never stop. Excellent quality shots.

Cons: The weakest point of the K7, in my opinion, is the yield at high ISO ... For those who print on paper it will not, but for me I use the photos in high resolution, already over 400 ISO you start to suffer. Another weakness of the K7 is the autofocus, not at the level of direct competitors. Pentax at home if they have noticed and did the K5 ... :-D

Opinion: It 's my first digital SLR and I must say I was able to bewitch. I think he started this adventure with a Pentax K7 and in particular has helped me a lot to experience in the world of photography. In the summer of 2011 is still sold around 800 €, if you do not have the 1200 which are used for a K5, take it with your eyes closed! Worth much more than it costs!
