The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Canon RF 24-105mm f/2.8 L IS USM Z Pros: It feels as light as the RF 70-200 f2.8 and very handy. Sharpness, responsiveness and colors typical of RF-L. Cons: Price, but then switch if you have other goals to give back to monetize. Video functions like Iris and Iris Dial are useless to me, but they are there, we keep them. Opinion: Very responsive and well balanced. The zoom ring is very smooth and the AF lock is spectacular. Very good color rendering like all RF-Ls. It will be put through its paces between February and March for various events, and I'm sure it won't disappoint at all. In terms of size, it looks like an EF 70-200 but much lighter and more manageable. Very, very positive first impression. Not at all bulky in use, in the backpack it requires a little extra space, no problem. With the two buttons for lens functions and control-ring, it's a lot of fun to set them effectively. The tripod mount is removable, I leave it and turn it up as if it were a handle. Not uncomfortable at all. The convenience of ranging between 24 and 105 is priceless and very profitable, especially with this opening. - update to February 22 - After two events and about 800 shots in two days I can be more than satisfied with this RF. The weight after a few hours is felt, also thanks to the R5 with the BG, but the fact of not being in the way and being able to make excursions from 24 to 105mm with nice close-ups and with an excellent performance, I can't complain about anything and everything remains well balanced. It's just as good a blade as the RF 28-70. The ease of handling the AF ring and aperture control ring allowed me to make quick selections with and without flash. AF well reactive to burst, if I miss any it's only my fault. Out of 800 burst shots, I only got 3 for moving. In March there are two more big events, outdoors, and here I go even wilder. For the rest, +10 to this last Canon jewel. sent on February 08, 2024 |
 | Canon RF 15-35mm f/2.8 L IS USM Pros: All the quality of RF L-series glass Cons: Nobody Opinion: Precise optics and excellent glass. Perhaps accustomed to the RF 28-70, this 15-35 is a twig. The mechanism is very fluid and silent. Fast AF. Excellent rendering in sharpness and colors typical of Canon. A joy to use. Very efficient. I would add that also for this RF-L, the opportunity to update the signature of these optics not only improves the performance of the stabilizer in combination with the IBIS, but a continuous evolution/coupled with the future R5mk2, R3, R1 etc. sent on September 01, 2023 |
 | Apple iPhone 14 Pro Max Pros: more manageable body than the 10 and 11; More powerful processor. Great battery life. Cons: nothing Opinion: The latter model is better in everything than even the 13 that I tried for a month. Beautiful photos not only for the sensor but also for the triple lens. Interesting macro photos and zooms even if little used. A salvation when you go tight in certain environments for the wide angle. Gorgeous jpegs. For everything else, App management is much faster and more responsive. The evolution of the OSX system from 15 to 16 and prossino 17, have revolutionized even more, as if that were not enough, the experience of use in an optimal way. It is a pleasure to hold it in hand compared to models 10 and 11, they finally eliminated the use of glass for the back, which was shameful. The Apple world with its Store remains among the best. sent on July 11, 2023 |
 | Canon EF 100mm f/2.8 L Macro IS USM Pros: Lightweight, excellent sharpness and color rendering, AF discreet as responsiveness. Cons: Nothing Opinion: The dual personality of macros has always fascinated me. Bought used at a very affordable price, I immediately put it to the test and I must say that its yield even in portraits is excellent and particular. Lightweight with R adapter ring, it makes good with all selectors, from infinity to macro. One of those glasses that rejuvenates with the R system, having already been excellent on DSLRs. sent on February 13, 2023 |
 | Canon RF 28-70mm f/2 L USM Pros: To love immediately. Perfect yield. An ignorant beast like not a few. Cons: Heavy. The first time the forearms sore for two days. It makes you regret it was a personal training. Woe betide complaining that he whips you. Opinion: The lack of stabilizer is felt immediately because of how fluid and responsive it is. Details, blurred, AF rendering, colors, all excellent. One of Canon's first one-of-a-kind R-system jewels. Incomparable. Excellence embodied. I confirm what they wrote in previous reviews. Vote +10. At 70mm F2 you don't miss the various 85 or 105mm for portraits. At 28 and 35 excellent environmental performance for ceremonies and you can sometimes avoid flash. The other optics look at her defiantly but she squares them with that nice 95mm filler and they turn pale, and I more vain than her. Ignorant to beast for size and weight but you love it immediately. Silent as the most mischievous lover, a pork optics like not a few and is noticed by others so it is flashy and vain. Live is a show and the R5 is happy as never before. sent on May 27, 2022 |
 | Canon Adattatore Canon EF/Canon RF Pros: Maximum compatibility with all EF attacks. Tropicalized. Cons: nothing Opinion: Perhaps the best accessory to revive old and semi-new EF attachment lenses of any brand. Used for the G2 Series Tamron, EF 24-105L, EF 85mm f1.2 and last but not least the amazing Tamron 17-35mm f/2.8-4. It deserves a 10/10 for the extreme backwards compatibility of all Canon attachment lenses. I was also tempted to the version with a ring, but this version is enough and advances. Finding used zeiss glass for use with this adapter will be another monkey to keep at bay, given the use that can be useful of the Ibis. sent on July 05, 2021 |
 | Manfrotto Zaino Pro Light 3N1-36 Pros: Impeccable construction, spacious. Excellent for storing double bodies, designed and various accessories. Cons: So spacious that if you exaggerate your back, you suffer. Opinion: It's not a backpack for trips, I learned it at my expense. He would protect his use with half-halved but empty equipment already has his weight. Great materials for any latitude. But if intent and doing a few kilometers to a studio or ceremony I recommend keeping him in the car out of prying eyes and exploiting it as a mini-warehouse, his compartments keep in order and safe on trips. I have never regretted buying, you can find dozens of solutions to exploit it. Lots of configurations and good pockets. Later I tried and bought the excellent Manfrotto Pro Light RedBee-310, more compact and manageable on the shoulders. sent on May 16, 2021 |
 | Canon G1X Mark III Pros: Very light, walking. Comfortable and quiet display. Great details and colors. Pretty in general. Cons: Bad lens cover. Poor battery life. As limited as everyone in your class. Opinion: Poor yield at medium high ISO. It is recommended to use it at the maximum opening at 15mm (equivalent about 22mm in FF). Used for a few months in 2019 to have a second light body (for the desperation of extra weight). Very good and silent burst; it was she who convinced me more and more of the future use of mirrorless. Not recommended for ceremonial use given the battery life but good AF and burst hooking. Excellent as a first purchase for newbies. Some of the best in his class. For the rest I rely on the excellent review of Giallo63. sent on May 09, 2021 |
 | Canon Speedlite 600EX-RT Pros: One of canon's best flashes. Powerful and robust, always reliable. Cons: It tends to overheat after many synchro flashes, but it is everyone's problem. Opinion: Used for 6 years, I was initially in trouble on the types of rechargeable batteries, then discovered the excellent Eneloop Pro (black 2500 mAh) and the white Eneloops (from 1900mAh), powerful batteries that led it several times and with many synchron flashes to overheat but never with blocking problems. It needs to recharge if you overdo it but just calculate the times. Jellies as an accessory have been used in different contexts and have made good. It dialogues very well with all, 5D, 1DX, RP, R5, excellent yield in fast sync TTL. Good lamp unlike Nissin, Mertz and other ciofeche. After years of honorable service I keep it to support the extraordinary GODOX V1C. The battery compartment makes you worry about the times, it seems delicate. Used in the rain for a few minutes, he pulled ahead badly. A flash to keep always even if it has its years. They are not accessories for their own sake, spending a few hundred euros more always makes a difference. sent on May 07, 2021 |
 | Canon 5D Mark III Pros: For his time it had been a great satisfaction to use it. Cons: One-point AF management at F8.0 Opinion: It had allowed me to grow quickly in the use of various techniques, which I could not do with 550D and 5D mk1. The first Pro body is never forgotten and I exploited it with satisfaction for almost 4 years until the legendary MK4 arrived. In rare moments I had been disappointed and one of them was to note that at F8.0 the Af module was very small, sometimes to a single point; no firmware has ever fixed this serious bug, and you could see it especially in the studio shots. Maybe they didn't want competition with the 1DX mk2? The fact is that it was the first reason I sold it as soon as I left the next 5D mk4, which had an amazing AF module. Buying it used still makes sense if you want a switch to painless and cognitive FF. It still offers great files and good ISO management up to 12,800. This is also a nice mule to take advantage of for various services. sent on April 27, 2021 |
 | Canon 5Ds Pros: Very good Jpeg. AF as 5D mk3. No security time issues. Cons: Too pumped, ISO manageable up to about 12,000 when flash use is prohibited. Opinion: A pumped 5D mk3 with second processor and extreme sensor. Bought for second-body needs to be combined with the MK4 at an affordable price and used for about a year and a half. It never drove me crazy that much if I wanted to look for differences, colors and Canon style details. Only in the exaggerated croppaggi where I could not compose decently during the shooting phase in the ceremonies I saved some shots. In the studio he behaves in the same way as the other 5D. AF dignified, he did his dirty work even in fast shots, buffering good enough for jpegs to store. I made him squeeze the two Tamrons 24-70 and 70-200 G2 series well and the baked rows were great. Many times I forgot his DS theme, I pointed and snapped without any problems and the car paid off well. Very good Jpeg. I didn't need Raw with that kind of compression and speed. It can be exploited very well as if it were an Mk3 or Mk4, without looking for the hair in the egg. sent on April 23, 2021 |
 | Canon Speedlite 470EX-AI Pros: Cute if you use it as a regular flash. Cons: Poor guide number. Insufficient AI technology, not performing for ceremonial times. Bad for professional use. Opinion: Bought deceived by the new AI performances. Not at all suitable regardless of the environment in which you shoot. The right lighting you'd like isn't what he decides. Many times I had to turn off AI automatism with that blessed rotating head going where he wanted it. I never understood what parameters his measurement was based on. Lots of shots thrown. Sold after 3 months and monetized immediately, I found the excellent Godox V1C, another planet. sent on April 22, 2021 |
 | Canon EOS RP Pros: Comfortable and light, details and color rendering. Cons: Silent shot non-existent. Test bench of the R system with several gaps. Shameful battery, it's not an LP-E6N, you barely get to 350 shots. Opinion: For those coming from the DSLR system you will find a menu identical to all the other Canons. Great Jpeg files, high definition compared to 5D. Initial management of the AF a bit cumbersome and unintuitive. Very good dynamic range management. Battery not up to performance. Non-existent silent shot for those who need to photograph in ceremonies. Used as a second body machine on the outside, she behaved well. Very effective for studio shots, great details. If you need a second body and also FF, used should cost about 800/900€. 4FPS more than enough for all uses. Very convenient adjustable display. I would say that as an initial test for the R system they could do more. sent on April 21, 2021 |
 | Canon 5D Mark IV Pros: Almost everything Cons: slowing down storing images in burst shots, but maybe it depends more on the various tabs Opinion: Used for four years in all shooting conditions. A real mule. He never left me on the street. Amazing AF and excellent color rendering. ISO manageable up to 50,000, but in rare extreme conditions. Shameful silent shot, one of the various reasons why I had to opt for R system. For the rest you can move quietly between ceremonies, sports, shooting etc. etc. etc. Its internal wi-fi in conjunction with the Camera Connect App, allowed me to work quickly and with great satisfaction its excellent jpegs. I haven't shot in raw for many years, I don't miss it and this machine gives excellent compression while maintaining excellent colors and range. sent on April 20, 2021 |
 | Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM II Pros: Excellent quality. Cons: nobody Opinion: I bought it years ago because I couldn't afford the f2.8 version. Never well spent money. Wonderful lens to do everything, excellent especially for portraits. Fantastic colors and great details. Used in many shotting and private shots, it never disappointed me. From Aps-c to FF itself color rendering. I didn't mind the 24mm vignette, I also added it on LR. sent on April 20, 2021 |
 | Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 L II USM Pros: Supreme quality. Cons: Weight and footprint. Opinion: Used for a year in a few shottings. I'm not like fixed optics, I get tight and I'm not one to spend my days in the studio, but with this 85mm I have a lot of fun. Unfortunately it needs special conditions to be used, and it is right that it should be. Its construction marked an era; envied by all, quality close to the Zeiss and a pleasant three-dimensionality in portraits; but too sectoral for its use. sent on April 20, 2021 |
 | Canon EF 17-40mm f/4.0 L USM Pros: Great for scenery and some street. Cons: nobody Opinion: Great on any sensor. For outdoor excursions, landscapes and a few streets you will be widely appreciated. Excellent colors and details. For more than 15 years he has stood up to the most famous L's and other brands saving a lot of money. Very light, to be kept as a second or third choice in the backpack. Undeaworthyly devalued. All doing landscape that marked an era. sent on April 20, 2021 |
 | Canon RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM Pros: Very versatile and lightweight. Cons: Diaphragms that force you to use ISO cars recklessly Opinion: Used as a forklift for 10 days waiting for another lens. I was surprised at the lightness and optical hike. Also shot the interior with ISO up to 6400 with RP, the results were good. For outdoor shots it shows its true value, excellent colors and details. An optics to keep as a reserve of the L series, or on trips to unpleasant places. sent on April 20, 2021 |
 | Tamron 17-35mm f/2.8-4 Di OSD Pros: Embarrassing lightness and sharpness for a lens that looks like a toy. Cons: nothing. Opinion: Excellent yield and the variable diaphragm from F 2.8 down does not create problems if you leave a slight margin of ISO automation. Very light from embarrassment, you forget to keep it hooked to the SLR and is always ready in any shooting and atmospheric condition. Never a disappointment. Highly recommended for street and sporting events where you need wide shots. Compared with Canon EF 17-40 and EF 16-35, I noticed substantial differences for the better for this small tammy. -update June 2021- I'm using it with R adapter on the R5. Excellent results. The Ibis of the R5 works great and the lens churns out details and beautiful colors. Maybe it will take a long time before you think about the excellent RF 15-35 f2.8 sent on April 17, 2021 |
 | Tamron 35-150mm f/2.8-4 Di VC OSD Pros: sharpness. One-of-a-kind focal range. Cons: Poor AF for quick shots and shots. Opinion: As tamron specified on their website, it is a lens dedicated to portrait or in any case for shots in the studio where it gave me great satisfaction. Unfortunately poor AF yield for shooting times from 1/125 for burst shots. The AF engine can't make it, you can see they had to sacrifice something. Too bad, because it's an excellent lens by definition and general rendering. It is by no means a whole to do for ceremonies or sporting events, in which case the AF is painful. sent on April 17, 2021 |
 | Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 Pros: all Cons: nothing Opinion: With his big brother 70-200 G2, Tamron churned out an excellent product, better than the EF 24-70 f 2.8; perhaps Canon slept on his laurels. The stabilizer helps a lot when you are forced under certain conditions not to overdo it with ISOs and lower the times. Even from this lens I have received great satisfaction for more than two years, in any ceremony and single shotting. All this is excellent to make the most of. Excellent pairing for those still in possession of 5D and 1DX. Never a disappointment for AF and made color. This is also a very good compromise compared to that of the parent company and others in the DSLR range. sent on April 17, 2021 |
 | Tamron SP 70-200mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 Pros: Large lens Cons: Perhaps the weight, over time, the arms suffer. Opinion: Great lens, it has nothing to envy to others. Along with the "hawthorn" it is without a shadow of a doubt one of the best canvases on the market for DSLR. Over time the weight makes itself felt purtoppo, but works great in any condition, both in the studio and outdoors. Great compromise compared to canon. I reluctantly separated myself from it by switching to the R system. Excellent color and detail rendering, superlative AF. Tamron has surpassed herself in the production of this series. If you want a perfect pairing with 5D mk4 and 1DX, this lens is to be considered. sent on April 17, 2021 |
 | Canon EOS R6 Pros: all Cons: Compared to the R5 the menu has a few fewer function, but little stuff. Opinion: Same opinion I wrote for R5. Identical as file yield, imperceptible differences only if you start croppare at 200%. Slightly lighter than her sister but efficiency itself. Great car. Excellent not only as a double body but also and above all individually. Double SD card slot always comfortable. IBS only works with some third-party optics, and activates automatically when needed. It also applies to Canon lenses and always depends on the lens stabilizer and at what times you shoot. You don't notice and there are no warnings in the crosshairs. They're no use. Very convenient if you want to use some lens without stabilizer. Same battery yield efficiency as for the R5, over 3400 shots. The BG-R10 is fine on this one too. Excellent materials as per Canon tradition. The backward compatibility of the LP-E6N batteries is very intelligent. sent on April 14, 2021 |
 | Canon EOS R5 Pros: Better than DSLR. AF, color rendering and ISO greatly improved. Very fast burst, perfect for everything. Cons: It does not allow you to shoot above 1/60 with flash in electronic mode. But I don't make a drama out of it. You switch to normal mode and away. Opinion: Coming from 5D mk4, 1DX and RP I was happily amazed at the quality of the files, already great for RP and R. Different types of AF hooking for all situations. The dynamic one for eyes or animals is mind-blowing, it does not miss a beat. With the new 2130 mAh LP-E6NH battery, on two occasions I have reached up to about 3450 shots in 2 hours of event, in burst mode, with electronic shutter. Double slot with CFExpress and very comfortable SD. For cfexpress I use 128GB Manfrotto and are faster than Lexar. IBS only works with some third-party optics, and activates automatically when needed. It also applies to Canon lenses and always depends on the lens stabilizer and at what times you shoot. You don't notice and there are no warnings in the crosshairs. They're no use. Very convenient if you want to use some lens without stabilizer. High YIELD of ISOs. Beautiful Jpeg files almost as a flagship. The adjustable display is a crazy cool for uncomfortable shots at first. With the BG-R10 battery grip excellent overall body/optical balance. There is only a small sore note left for those like me who are forced to shoot in electronic/silent mode, the anti-flicker option is not activated and flash shooting is limited. I hope in the next firmware for the anti-flicker. Excellent materials as per Canon tradition. The backward compatibility of the LP-E6 batteries is very intelligent. sent on April 14, 2021 |
 | Canon RF 70-200mm f/2.8 L IS USM Pros: all Cons: nothing Opinion: Let's leave aside the cost factor, quality pays off. Excellent color rendering and details throughout the range. Maximum reliability in any condition. Better than its predecessors EF series that were already top. The lens ring provides more freedom to program different settings. The Nano-USM system has its own because in pairing with R5/R6, spectacular gusts and AF seal, you can't ask for more. Great materials. The hook for the trepide seems uncomfortable but you get used to it. We recommend the firmware update from the site for performances that are constantly evolving. sent on April 14, 2021 |
 | Canon RF 24-70mm f/2.8 L IS USM Pros: all Cons: nothing Opinion: L series cost. Excellent color rendering and details throughout the range. Maximum reliability in any condition. Better than its EF series predecessors. For its characteristics it is an optics to be used in almost all situations. All-rounder par excellence. You can't want more than in very particular situations like shots in the interior where you would need more angle. The lens ring provides more freedom in programming ISO, aperture and shutter. Great materials. Weight perfectly balanced with R5. For new RF lenses, I always recommend firmware upgrade from the site. sent on April 14, 2021 |
