The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Canon EF 600mm f/4 L IS II USM Pros: Reduced weight compared to the previous model; Exceptional full aperture sharpness; Minimum distance of MAF at 4.5m; Fourth generation stabilization; Price since today July 2022 being out of production is at acceptable prices compared to the brand new versions. Cons: none Opinion: Having the opportunity to test its sharpness at full aperture, as soon as I could I replaced my old 600 series 1 (but glorious and faithful companion) with this. Sharpness that is not affected at all by the 1.4X III multiplier (always at full aperture) and its reduced minimum focusing distance allows unthinkable close-up shots, at the limit of the macro. A particular applause to the stabilizer that allows me to shoot from tripod up to 1/160 (with the 7D helps for ISO noise), also the low weight is felt with the backpack on your shoulders. It's an extraordinary optics of which I can not find faults for my way of shooting and in the short term to pair one of these new mirrorless, maybe the R7 (APSC), why not? sent on July 07, 2022 |
 | Benro GH3 Pros: sturdiness, Disassembly Cons: Non-fluid tilting movement, no bearings but only a large Teflon bushing Opinion: Beautiful head with many adjustments and very comfortable, who needs, can disassemble and store in a little space. However, apart from this, the tilting movement is not very fluid. I disassembled it and found that it has no ball bearings, as I thought given the price, but a simple Teflon bushing as the cheapest heads on ebay at €99. It still holds my 600 very well, which a cheaper head would not do. The rotation on the vertical axis (panning) instead is very smooth. I'm editing it to put 2 nice ball bearings. sent on November 22, 2018 |
 | Canon 7D Mark II Pros: high ISO, burst, AF, battery life, controls, raw quality, 65 maf points, double slot, build quality, silent shooting, 100% viewfinder, AF up to f / 8 Cons: fixed screen, poor dynamic range Opinion: Used mainly for photographic and macro hunting, in these respects nothing is missing, except for the adjustable screen for macro.rnMi has very, very surprised, the resistance to high ISO, at least compared to the old 7D. At 1600 the photo is excellent, at 3200 still good. With the old 7D at 800 ISO they were to be thrown away. Before buying I read on the various forums that from this point of view the gap between mkI and mkII regarding the iso, was not such as to justify its replacement. It is not at all like that, at least for me (always shooting in raw). Coupled to 600 pulls out of the amazing files. In this period I have also had the chance to compare it to my 5D mkIII and believe me the difference in iso estate is not as deep as one would have led to believe. This is demonstrated by the fact that I put on sale the 5.rnLeggo that many complain about battery life. The stabilizer of the 600 consumes a lot, then the gust, etc. rnEven with outputs from morning to evening I have never been dry (over 2000 shots), all with a single battery, in the cold, and even to see it blink. sent on February 07, 2018 |
 | Sigma 180mm f/3.5 EX DG HSM Macro Pros: Optical quality at the highest livelli.rnCorsa long focus for focusing a hand centesimale.rnGhiera focus extensive and well gommata.rnAF fast (HSM ultrasonic) if you do need to run after nervous subjects (eg. Butterflies active on the flowers, field-tested). rnPrezzo compared to competitor Canon (but has a better build quality). Cons: Exterior finish very delicate and tend to sverniciarsi facilmente.rnPeso and space (but is still a 180mm) Opinion: Optics excellent for those who want to do macro without getting too close to the subject, but most of all (and this is the reason why I own it) to have backgrounds in sfuocatissimi same magnification (and diaphragm) with shorter focal lengths. I use it a lot and allows to mate all you want additional optics (lenses add., Multipliers, pipes, even together) without sacrificing image quality. Highly recommended to buy used instead of new Sigma 180 F/2.8 which is heavier, bulkier and more expensive, as in the macro aperture 2.8 is completely useless (unless you use it for portraits ....) but with additional stabilizer. To me that pretty much always shooting with a tripod stabilization would inutile.rnValida alternative to this lens is the Sigma 150 macro. More compact and lightweight, with results virtually identical to the 180. sent on April 09, 2014 |
 | Canon MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x Macro Pros: Driven without additional optical magnification. rnQualità constructive livelli.rnQualità the highest optical elevatissima.rnComodo the collar to rotate the frame. Cons: Maybe poor the distance of focus at magnifications pushed (4-5X), but the law does not allow the optics altro.rnDifficile to use for many reasons that under spiego.rn Opinion: And 'the macro lens for excellence in my say. Born just for this, then optimized at all magnifications where always pulls out shots of the highest quality. You have to be wait to set the aperture reading the instructions because they do not correspond to what is actually set, rnmaggiore is the magnification, the greater the deviation between actual diaphragm and said impostato.rnCome therefore, not easy to use at high magnifications is very dark (light fall inevitable) and focuse is a problem and it is very helpful, if not essential, to use a slide micrometer type the Manfrotto 454.rnPer beginners advice to stay with him lontano.rnPer answer Odessosky, you can freehand Use with flash.rnIo use it with a tripod because I do not like the flash and my subjects are still stuck in the cold of the first mattino.rn sent on April 09, 2014 |
 | Canon EF 600mm f/4 L IS USM Pros: Sharpness settings of focus points, excellent yield duplicate, AF speed, quality costruttiva.rnLa a protective glass front lens is not a lens, a nice perk that allows you to use it without too much concern. Cons: I do not say the price because such technological sophistication can not be economica.rnIl sicurmente weight is the major flaw, for me the only one. Opinion: The alternative, lighter and more compact, it would be the 500 f / 4 that I owned, but coming from a 400 gain focus was not so profitable (even if the 500 is multipliable) even in the face of the money spent, so I sold the 500 going to 600.rnScatto sclusivamente lying with the lens resting on a self-built pan, rnper which is the right lens for me.rnMolto also suitable for those who snaps out of the car or shed, naturalmente.rnPer photos on the fly should be a good sturdy tripod and a head Gimball type Wiberley Photoseiki.rnPer or hiking ... leave it at home. sent on May 01, 2013 |
