xiaomi_redmi_note5Xiaomi Redmi Note 5

Pros: Q/P ratio for those who do not have TOP-of-range requirements. Eternal Battery.

Cons: UI to understand for those coming from other brands. Some compromises to hold low price.

Opinion: I took this model for my wife on the advice of a colleague who, unlike me, follows very closely the world of smartphones and its evolution, recommended for those who, like her, does not understand much and has no needs to TOP but wants some things : concreteness, reliability, battery life until the evening in normal use. Sold and shipped by Amazon in ITA version (band 20) gold, so a hair more expensive than what you can find in other sites, but with the support of Amazon that everyone knows in case of problems. The surprise begins with the package very cured (for the price and the product belt) including covers. Nice and bright screen even in the sun, not tried with polarized glasses. Coupled with the old Samsung deseated (but really old) has inherited almost all of the settings and applications. Lost some time in the various updates, access to the Wi-Fi home and the various downloads are really very fast. Excellent (for the price and the band) the photographic compartment for daytime photos and good even at night. Beats without too much trouble, in this, my daughter's IPhone 8. Very fast in all functions, it rips my old S4 all over. You get to the evening after a day of use with still a good battery reserve, so no anxieties from energy crisis. The wife is delighted and proudly shows all her girlfriends The gift that made her her husband. Wife contented happy life.

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

Pros: Field angle (even on DX), sharpness, color, speed and AF accuracy

Cons: Minimum diaphragm f / 16, weight, size

Opinion: I used it under the same condition as the new one and still have a good residual NITAL guarantee, to be mounted on the DX (D5100, old-fashioned I know) as almost equivalent to a 28mm, accustomed to the 28mm equivalent of smartphones I knew to be My favorite handy focal point. And indeed it is. It's my first gold-finish lens with 'N' finish. I've been in it for a month and I have not detached it from the body anymore. I did three family outings with this lens alone and did not feel the need for anything else (this is obviously subjective and depends on what you are looking for). On DX has a good definition on the edges and cuts the part that on FX suffers from coma (for those who are interested in having point-like lights on edges and corners on FF, me no). The AF is fast and accurate even in low light, much faster than the 35 f / 1.8 DX and 50 f / 1.4 which I both have. The distortion is correct in the room without intervention so I do not see it, if any. Colors are lighter and less saturated than zoomIn kits and having jpegs more or less ready I had to intervene on the controls on the room. I did not see any reflections, nor did the CA, even if the tests on the network were detecting it. It's big and heavy and with the small DX it's a bit unbalanced, with the additional BG going better. The internal flash, which I often use to lighten the shadows in the most direct light hours, projects an unpleasant shadow at the bottom of the photo, even without mounted hood (just a little smaller). I would appreciate a small and cheap SB500 to overcome this problem. Also usable in TA gives the best of if diaphragmed by a couple of stops, where it detects every microscopic detail. I did not appreciate the blur at TA on DX on this focal point, but in general the images have a good three-dimensionality. On DX, great for full set figures, group photos, stunning views, celebrations, photo memories, all this even at night thanks to infallible AF and large aperture that allows lower ISO and faster times with wide PDC. Not suitable for framesNarrow or close shots due to prospective distortion.

tamron_10-24Tamron SP 10-24mm F/3.5-4.5 Di II LD

Pros: Zoom range, price (used).

Cons: AF slow, indecisive and noisy. Unclear on the entire frame, worse still at the edges.

Opinion: I state that I do not own personally that goal but I use it when I need because I have a good friend that lends it to me willingly. We talk about the version with bayonet Nikon F. It has a focal length very interesting because, starting from 10mm, you have to be careful not to photograph their feet but gets to 24mm which allows you to do a lot, the same corner of the classic 35mm FX. Excellent excursion for city and street art and even indoors, with a good external flash or a good light management. Distorts enough at the extremes of the excursion but, in view of this, it adjusts PP with a single click, losing some degree in the shooting. Then you have to learn during shooting to manage creepage correcting them with the PDR or otherwise exaggerating for creative effects. The AF on my D5100 is very slow and often hesitates in getting the fire, in the viewfinder or in LV is about the same (so to speak!), And when it is not always accurate, you should always check the shot as it is done to see if fire went dovand she wanted. You hear the noise of the focus for me is not a problem but it can be where you need complete silence. I do not know if this is exemplary but it seems to me very clear to all openings, with no significant differences between the focal. The edges in some cases their own pulp, depends greatly on the distance of objects, it seems to get better on its neighbors, of those far worse. The only way I found to correct the sharpness is to do multiple shots and combine them into PP. Backlit suffering and we must be careful to reflections that can reach to cover the entire frame, attention to artificial light that, if they are not the center of the frame, leaving ovalizzate.rnHo also tried the equivalent Nikon, which costs three times but difference is obvious. Ultimately I'd buy it only if you had a very low price, otherwise I would try the Nikon making a financial sacrifice.

nikon_35dxNikon AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8 G

Pros: Value for money, compact and lightweight

Cons: A ''m price? Nobody.

Opinion: The MTF charts of the tests that are found in the network are fake, do not describe this lens. Having beds avalanches, are all alike a bit ', I was a little' uncertain. I opted for a used, exchange hand with field test before purchasing. I found that rather what they say is true users, is a fantastic lens, in his price range is unrivaled. Head and shoulders above any other lens I tried, the difference with the zoom is embarrassing, and not only for the maximum opening, but for the clarity and fidelity of the image rendering the same apertures and focal. The images that gives me this little gem require very few interventions in pp, if exposed well in situations not to limit the jpg come ready. Lightweight, compact, great for portraits and street ambientati interpretation (for a generic street in my opinion is a bit 'long), it would change only 28 f / 1.8G I tried and found even higher, even in the price, however, . And 'the lens that would keep if I surrenderking of everything.

amazonbasics_zaino_fotocamera_accessoriAmazonBasics - Zaino per fotocamera e accessori

Pros: Economic, amazon, capacious, robust

Cons: Not waterproofed and even impermeabilizzabile. No practical attachment for tripod or bottle. Elastic Front useless. No openings for extracting fast.

Opinion: I use it for two years for storing my kit and I carry around with everything to not stand to make selections. Did not have the slightest harm no point will it inside out. Worth three times the purchase price. Pull something requires removing it from his shoulders, put it down, open it, being careful not to drop something and take out the desired object. Do not do it so I do not say to change fast but even decent enough to fami want a smaller bag but more practical to switch from a view to another. But as a backpack carrier and 'a premium product. I adapted a plastic bag to cover in case of rain. Make you laugh but it works. The tripod has a dedicated slot well done, it's up tie with the straps side but not fix it properly. I never gave problems but it is not the ideal solution, especially if the tripod and 'heavy unbalanced to one side and could break the straps or seams. rn

yongnuo_yn568exYongnuo YN-568EX II (Nikon)

Pros: Excellent value for money

Cons: Very little supporting documentation, slow charging, white reflector built quite weak.

Opinion: Bought to learn to use a flash that could do more than on-camera, after evaluating hundreds of reviews. The building looks pretty good and the use is very simple. Although the documentation, in English, is written by suck, do not need to know a lot to learn to use it. I had read a bit 'of how the external flash, the use of the parable, the power and the i-TTL, in less than ten minutes I did the first shots and then smoothly. Used in a couple of events has not had no problem. I have the impression that the charging time between a flash and the other is a bit 'slow, but I have terms of comparison with other products. Let's say you set the burst to 4 fps, it illuminates only the first shot, the other three do not. The subsequent burst, ditto. Maybe I have yet to find the right settings, I do not know. For the rest, good battery life, using it to power the default, in i-TTL I did about 180 shots lit without changing batteries. I have the impression that the movement of the headIt has become a bit 'more fluid after an afternoon of use, at the beginning it was harder. We hope that the plastic holding the head in the rotated position do not consume too much and it proves impossible to secure it as wanted. rnEDIT 01/13/2016: RNLA head does not yield, the rotation has softened on the first day but then the hardness of the movement is no longer cambiata.rnRiguardo the recharge time I did experiment with the flash in manual (no i-TTL ) to control the power. Settings: 1/60, f / 2.8, 35mm, ISO100. 4 fps for bursts of 1s, then four shots: rn- First burst, 1/1 power, illuminates only the first. rn- Second burst, 1/2 power, illuminates only the first. rn- Third burst, 1/4 power, lights the first and second. rn- Fourth burst, 1/8 power, illuminates all four. rnSparando single shots, it takes more than 1/1 to 2/2 of range to recharge and get both shots illuminated. rn

nikon_18-70dxNikon AF-S DX 18-70mm f/3.5-4.5 G ED

Pros: construction, focal length, lens hood, AF speed, price (used)

Cons: lack VR, sharpness at the edges

Opinion: Got used to 100 € from a guy who has sold all his equipment after the first tests I realized that at that price it was a bargain! Hardly the detachment from the car, when because of the low light I inevitably use the VR. This is its main limitation. If we want, even a few millimeters more on the short would be really good, but you can not ask for everything. Gives some solid feel: the construction, compared to 18-55, is another planet, bigger, heavy, hard. At the first shot AF speed left me amazed, accustomed to 18-55 which is a sloth, this is lightning, and even in low light does not hesitates. The petal-type hood works well but the bayonet is a bit 'hard, at first I did not take thinking of breaking it. The sharpness is good at f / 8, cala opening, and suffers at the edges. A 70mm is not that good, good for close-ups, because if you get close to the subject to f / 4.5 on aps-c is the blurred fsee well. However one recovers a lot with a little 'PP. Suffers backlit if you do attenzione.rnLa lack of VR forces you to pay attention to the times or to use well the car ISO, who has the advanced version of this feature can program a speed always double the focal and feel comfortable. The only reason I have not yet sold the 18-55VR is precisely that when the lights go down as the VR serves. The new Sigma 17-70 would be the synthesis of the two, sooner or later I'll decide. rnSe you find a good price, under 100 €, is a affare.rnrnEDIT: did calibrate the camera's AF, suffered Front Focus. The sharpness is considerably increased.

nikon_55-300dxNikon AF-S DX 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G ED VR

Pros: Low price, stabilizer, weight and size, a dedicated DX format, quality / price ratio, bayonet in metal

Cons: overall sharpness, especially after the 200mm autofocus particularly slow, rotating front element, lens hood fragile, dark, but you can not have everything at this price.

Opinion: For what it costs, especially in used but also new websites on the classics, it's a pretty interesting lens by the excellent quality / price ratio. E 'light and not very big, so the small bodies DX is not too unbalanced, though with all the optional BG is much more balanced. The AF is slow, especially if there is not enough contrast or if the subject is moving fast, you may miss some shots. The VR is very effective, I managed to keep 1/60 to 300mm without apparent shake-. The sharpness is not that great in general and falls dramatically over the 200mm. The colors are a little saturated. I did not notice reflections. Suffers a bit 'of AC. Distortions? Something, all correctable in PP with a single click. It must be said that compared to the 55-200 has a metal bayonet and a diaphragm better. I will also do portraits, using focal 55-100 or so, if one takes care to choose the right approach to the subject and the background are also some nice bokeh without opening the diaphragm. The ricomprerei? At that price, yes, on the run, has no rival. Together with the 18-55 one makes us a beautiful layette to start without a lot of sacrifices. Who could ask for more?
