The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Apple iPhone 13 Pro Max Pros: Battery life, display quality, materials, audio, airdrop, photo and video quality, amazing video HDR, video stabilization Cons: Size, price, accessories price, price of some apps in the store, front camera not wide enough Opinion: I'm back at Apple after having had the iPhone 4 for 3 years way back in 2010, then I just had mid-to-high/high-end Android smartphones. Apple is on another level as materials and software optimization. It shows that the autonomy of the phone is amazing and to have a similar autonomy on Android you need a battery with a capacity at least 30% higher, with obvious repercussions on weight and size. The display is gorgeous, super bright but at the same time able to go down in low light better than any other phone, so perfect for viewing in total darkness. Everything is calibrated to perfection, the Face-ID, the light and orientation sensors, the GPS... The audio is great and the materials are amazing. You charge a lot but you have the feeling of having something of value in your hands, which deserves it. Nevertheless it is true, the price is high and even more so is that of accessories. The magsafe cover costs 65 € and if you combine it with the magsafe car support you have to add another 45, which brings the total to 110 € when before you did everything with 30-40 €. True, the "classic" accessories of other brands are still available, but why give up the innovations that the phone brings in dowry? Airdrop is very convenient to transfer files quickly with other Apple devices as well as it is inconvenient to have a cloud integrated with iPad and Macbook. In a year I went from all Android and Windows to all Apple and I don't regret it. I spent a lot but even if I wanted there are no alternatives even at the same price that are able to offer the same performance and the same hardware quality. Not to mention cloud integration and portable devices (such as bluetooth earphones). The quality of the photos is great. If they are made with pumpkin salt and posted on social networks like instagram, they are almost indistinguishable from those made with a camera (even fullframe like my A7III). Obviously if they are seen on a display of 10 " up you notice. I posted some of them here on the forum too. The portrait functionality is amazing and people are amazed when I tell them that they are photos taken with the phone. The video quality is impressive, I turn the vlogs taking advantage of an excellent stabilization, an HDR video almost embarrassing for real cameras and all with a clean audio and rich in bass. To finance the purchase of the iPhone and simplify my vlogs I sold an Android tablet, an Android smartphone and a lens (the Voigtlander 40 1.2) and after 7 months I overconfirm the choice I made. The phone in the Pro Max version is too big for most people, in which I do not include myself but I recognize that it is a big phone. I do not appreciate the fact that many apps in the app store are paid for right away, thus risking losing money if you buy an app that does not match our needs. Mine is 256 gb, the right size in my opinion. If you want I could also recommend it in the 128 gb version but lose a couple of functions (minority, like the ProRes video that I have never used because it occupies 6 gb for every minute of video). The top cuts for me are useless unless you take a flood of photos and videos without an internet connection to the cloud. To give an example, for a 3-day vlog with several photos also raw and many videos all 4k 25fps or 60fps I occupied 16-17 gb. :) POLEMIC ANGLE I would like the front camera to have a wider angle of view. Probably in the future they will invent an iPhone 14 or 15 with a dual selfie camera and everyone will say that it is the best iPhone ever and how innovative this invention is, that it will be charged 50-100 € more and that could have been implemented 5 years earlier. And people will queue to get it and shout OMMIODDIOO during unboxing. Okay, that's how it goes. sent on April 30, 2022 |
 | Sony FE 85mm f/1.8 Pros: Size, sharpness, autofocus Cons: Colors Opinion: The 85mm f/1.8 from Sony is a great product for those who want to contain costs and have a good lens, or for those looking for something compact and light. The performance is excellent, both in terms of sharpness and vignetting, as well as the autofocus is very fast and silent because the lens is light and there is little glass to move. On the other hand, the colors are a bit washed out and rarely gave me the wow effect but, judging by the gallery, in the right hands it has nothing to fear from the most famous competitors but also heavier and more expensive. sent on September 21, 2021 |
 | Voigtlander 40mm f/1.2 Nokton Pros: Uniqueness, blurred, optical rendering, sharpness, dimensions, materials, build quality Cons: Hood cost (120 €!) Opinion: The Voigtlander Nokton 40mm f/1.2 that I own is with Leica M connection, to which I mounted the Techart PRO adapter to use it on Sony A7III and A7RIV. it is a magical lens, unique in its kind. The rendering is a mix of 3D pop, sharpness, blurred and vignetting that makes the subject literally leave the image. The dimensions are incredibly small, the materials are excellent and the construction quality is a reference. Everything is made of metal, the clicks of the diaphragm ring are very pleasant. It looks like a fine watch. it is Sharp already at f/1.2 but brings out the best by already closing the aperture at f/1.4 and impressive from f/2 onwards. With the Techart PRO autofocus adapter you have all the features of modern Sony, such as eye AF on humans and animals. The Leica-M version is more compact than the Sony FE version and there are some small optical differences. For this reason they should stand in two separate tabs. Some reviewers, like Steve Huff, say the M version is slightly more punchy but I haven't had a way to test them both. sent on September 21, 2021 |
 | Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VXD Pros: Lightness, yield, autofocus speed, quality/price ratio Cons: Materials, build quality, lack of keys Opinion: If you are looking for an excellent telephoto zoom, bright, sharp (even with 60 mpx cameras) and you do not need focal lengths from 300mm upwards, this is the choice I recommend. The weight is incomparable compared to the corresponding 70-200 f/2.8-f/4 and the optical yield is higher, thanks to the recent design that takes into account the sensors with many megapixels. The focus is very accurate, fast and quiet, one of the best I could try. The 20mm of lack compared to the 70-200 are absolutely negligible, recoverable with an extra step. Are they not enough? Then not even a 200mm would be enough. The lack of the stabilizer I do not consider it all in all a defect. it is true, the stabilization on the sensor is less effective than that on the optics or the optical + sensor combo, but framing the field of action of this tele may not be so necessary. To make portraits you still need a fast time, even more so if you photograph animals. For landscapes, on the other hand, the stabilizer may not be useful at all. In summary, in 15 months of use I have never missed it. Lack that instead I felt for the AF / MF button and for some materials a little more valuable. The ones employed are not bad, but they seem more prone to scratches than, for example, a GM. The build quality is good but nothing more, in some parts, especially in the hood, you can see the joints of the mold. The sharpness is already at the top of f/2.8 and appreciable is the 67mm filter diameter. The value for money is unbeatable. The lack of an adapter ring can be solved by buying a generic one (in my case at 40 € I took the Haoge LMR-TL718, well made and with internal velvet). Automatic corrections in LR are quite limited, native distortion is contained as well as vignetting. it is a well-designed lens. sent on September 21, 2021 |
 | Sony FE 24mm f/1.4 GM Pros: Yield, sharpness, bokeh, dimensions, materials Cons: Does it have any? Opinion: Few times have I found a lens with so many merits and I would say ... no defects. This 24mm f/1.4 GM is impressive. it is small, light and gm materials are the best ever in my opinion (like the top of the range Canon and Nikon). it is clear already all open and the colors are beautiful and faithful. To amaze is the range of situations in which it excels: it is very good in portraits, because the blurred is very soft and the detachment of planes surprising for a 24mm, it is good in landscapes, it is good in interiors and also in astrophotography thanks to the f/1.4 aperture. If you are looking for a 35mm but also want a wide angle, this is the perfect lens. I use it as a 35mm crop the images or cropping them to the PC, but when I want I have a 24mm without having to change lenses. sent on September 17, 2021 |
 | Sigma 85mm f/1.4 DG DN Art Pros: Sharpness, materials, colors, functions, dimensions Cons: Hood size, front cap Opinion: This is the 85mm (in my opinion) to buy. In the past I had the f/1.8 Sony (sold because dull, washed out) and the f/1.4 Samyang (sold due to colors tending to yellow). The Samyang remains at the top in quality / price, thanks to its low cost. The Sigma, however, surpasses it in all respects with the exception of the weight which is 60 gr higher and a little more unbalanced forward, so it makes itself felt more than the additional weight can suggest. This Art is amazing as sharpness already at f/1.4. The colors are faithful and beautiful, as well as the blurred is exceptionally soft. The materials are excellent, although you still prefer GMs. The diaphragms ring is very comfortable. Downsides: the hood is too wide and the cap could have been better, given the cost anyway. Negligible defects, all in all. sent on September 17, 2021 |
 | Samyang AF 85mm f/1.4 FE/RF Pros: Price, yield, autofocus, weight Cons: Yellow dominant, lack of keys, coating Opinion: Excellent 85mm, already very sharp all open but that becomes really sharp from f / 2 onwards. The autofocus is great, fast and quiet. it is a light lens, considering the competition, even if a more voluminous hair. The quality/price ratio is at the top, it places it at the top of the market in this respect. Nice blurred. However, it brings with it some flaws: the photos have a yellow dominant, correctable in post. The lens has no key other than the manual focus ring and the painted metal barrel scratches quite easily. The hood is made of very cheap plastic, as is the cap. A bit annoying that Samyang sells separately the dck for updates (which costs 45-50€). Finally, the minimum focusing distance is 90 cm, higher than the competition. sent on September 17, 2021 |
 | Sony A7r IV Pros: Ergonomics, tuning, resolution, perceived quality, focus Cons: File weight Opinion: The A7R IV is an excellent camera, the result of sony's maturation path. The ergonomics are superior compared to previous models, the buttons are more protruding, more contrasted, more pleasant to use. Display and viewfinder are great, the shutter is great. The battery lasts less than on the A7 III. Such a high resolution is a godsend in the crops pushed but if I have to shoot a lot I use the A7 III to save space in the hard disk and in the cloud. sent on September 13, 2021 |
 | Sony FE 16-35mm f/2.8 GM Pros: Weight, resolution, flexibility, blurry, build quality, lampshed, effective tropicalization Cons: Important price, front width Opinion: I'm enjoying the 16-35 GM for a year and a half. I took everything: morning landscapes, architecture, milky way but also portraits set thanks to the excellent blurry that the 11 slats create at 35mm. It produces a good star at f/16 and the solvence is excellent at all focal points, even at 35mm. is the smallest and lightest 16-35 f/2.8 on the market. Nevertheless, it has a slightly conical shape that causes the end part to be a little too wide. The diameter of the filters is still 82mm (like the other 16-35 2.8) so you can find all brands and types. The construction quality is excellent, very nice the lampshon with velvety interior and unlock button. The excellent resolution on the canvas side allows you to avoid the purchase of a "bridge" lens: I traveled through Italy, Peru, Jordan, Ireland, France, Holland with the 16-35 combined with an 85mm (which I only recently replaced with a 70-180 f/2.8 for an even more versatile combo) and I never felt the lack of something that filled the gap. It handles the A7RIV's 60mpx great and I've tested its tropicalization on a couple of occasions, brilliantly passing the test. I don't see a single reason to prefer it to the f/4 model unless you have to save money at all costs, or you've had an unmissable opportunity, or you still don't have an extra cm of space in your bag. Or if you only take a closed diaphragm. sent on February 21, 2021 |
 | Sony RX100 III Pros: Compactness, image quality, brightness Cons: Focal excursion, crosshairs mechanism, 4K lack. Opinion: I come from an RX100 Mk 1 that I used for 5 years and held the Mk 3 only a year to switch to the Mk 6. It satisfied me but not fully. The image quality is good but the focal hike is too limited for my taste. I appreciated the brightness of the lens, especially at 24mm, while the viewfinder mechanism is uncomfortable and you end up not using it. Autofocus is on mk 1 levels, good but much lower than subsequent series. Very small improvement in ISO noise. sent on February 07, 2021 |
 | Sony A7 III Pros: Battery life, value for money, compactness, quality and file workability, double jack micro-usb and usb-c Cons: Menu, space to have some extra untapped button, sony app wi-fi file transfer only in jpg, lack sensor protection Opinion: Great camera with excellent quality and enviable value. The autofocus is great (although not infallible) and although I don't have small hands I don't suffer the size, which in the end is one of the reasons why I bought the A7III. The stabilizer on the sensor is effective but not at the level of an optician, but it gives the advantage of lightening the optics and working with any lens. The menu is a bit difficult but with a run-in you can set the most common quick commands and avoid the hassle. The minino is fine with me, I do not miss the optical one and although I am aware that there are better crosshairs this entails a considerable difference in price. sent on December 05, 2019 |
 | Sony RX100 VI Pros: Focal range, single-movement pop-up viewfinder, photo quality, optical sharpness Cons: Price, battery life, focal opening especially at 24mm, lack of digital stabilization in 4K, micro-usb and not usb-c, image transfer app transfers only jpg Opinion: I come from 6 years of RX100 mk1 and a year and a half of The RX100 mk3 which had not satisfied me because of the sight that required a double movement with the fingers and the short focal side canvases. The mk6 meets these demands by paying duty on brightness and price. As for the portraits you can get a greater blur thanks to the upper focal length (where possible causes space) and I have never blamed the need for more brightness in a generic use suitable for a compact like this. Remarkable sharpness for an 8x optic, practically comparable to the previous one that was 3x, while in addition to the pros and cons already indicated I mark the chronic need (for my hands) of an additional grip. After having the original Sony (15th) and the Chinese copy (8th) I strongly invite you to buy the first, firmer, of better materials and most liking to the touch. sent on December 05, 2019 |
 | Sony RX100 Pros: size ratio sensor / camera size, image quality, noise at high ISO, funny various automatic modes (eg hdr and filters) Cons: front ring as a whole: projection, shape and feel to the rotation, some limitations in the settings, timing with low light and battery consumption abnormally. Opinion: I have this camera in September 2012, I begin to talk about the merits: the image quality is excellent, as well as the sharpness. It is also one of the few compact that allows you to make the blur. Has comfortable automatic modes such as HDR and framework (which simulates the hdr but optimizes the dynamic range with a single click). Excellent colors and fast autofocus, but the display is very good but I would have liked to rotate. is the best compact, by far the best with the sensor and there are no compact with the sensor so that big unless you decide to go to the canon G1X, but increase price, size and peso.rnLa front ring is very awkward, protrudes and so has the cutting edge, you could limit the impact tilting or smoothing the edge. In addition, the feeling that the rotation is really bad because it has no shots and you have to look to force the display and move the ring lentamente.rnIl menu is unintuitive and inconvenient to use, every time you consent to asetting the camera out of the menu.rnLa timing in the case of low light if you are in aperture priority tends to go to the maximum focal length of 1/125, it may be safely below and spare a lot 'of ISO, although the noise is contenutissimo.rnLa mine was affected by an abnormal and sudden battery drain that could be observed using it for a few shots a week, to 7-8 suddenly the battery from full reports fully discharged. is a common problem (search for "battery drain" on google) and maybe it's on a menu setting but I reserve from giving an opinion, look a few more weeks to confirm (I will update the review). rnAd However, in the normal case the battery consumption is on average buono.rnMi feel to advise you, is an excellent compact camera / sensor size / image quality. sent on April 15, 2013 |
 | Sigma 8-16mm f/4.5-5.6 DC HSM Pros: angle of view, sharpness, colors, materials, zoom, supplied Cons: impossible to mount filters, excursion Opinion: wide angle wider trade offers excellent imaging, excellent sharpness and warm colors. for certain compositions the 16mm can be short and compel a change of lens, also the impossibility to mount filters may prove to be restrictive in landscape photography, that is the one that employs more than all the filters. widely appreciated the zoom mechanism, which pushes back the front lens zooming, so that the built-in hood can be always effective (if not, as in almost majority of zoom on the market, it would work only in the focal more wide-angle). is equipped with an open housing and of a particular system cap that goes to wrap the built-in hood. sent on October 14, 2011 |

I think this focus on useless aps-c, much better than a 85mm (or 100mm) for portraits and busts a 30mm and events. full frame of a lens from 100 € to 2000 € machine is quite a paradox, much better than the various f/1.4. tried to borrow five days, and returned thinking to myself "never again". sent on October 14, 2011 |
