The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Nikon D850 Pros: The Ultimate Reflex in Everything: A Very High-Resolution Sniper Cons: being a reflex, the fb focus accordingly and the now shortage of new generation lenses, tropicalization (Marc Adamus killed one without too much difficulty after years of D800, so something in the construction has changed from before) Opinion: Once, used, resold: a beautiful machine, definitive, but when I put it in the backpack with a 15-30 and a 100-400 I regretted the choice: very heavy, very cumbersome, defects that you know at the time of purchase (and in fact the mistake is mine, not the machine), and that either you are willing to accept, or they become a really big obstacle. For the rest, the machine is a sniper if the lenses are calibrated properly: the aforementioned tamron 15-30 g1 made me sacrament and not little for the fb focus, intrinsic defect of dslr technology and emphasized with the mega-resolutions of these beasts: until 2015 no one knew what it was in fact... Returning to the machine, being a reflex is a disadvantage even from the point of view of the optical park: Nikon has not released a landscape lens for years now, and it is rather worrying as an attitude, a factor to take into account if you want to invest in a long-term project. Is weight a problem? Not in the absolute sense, it is not the half kg of body that makes you prefer one machine or the other, but it is the weight of the system the problem: the lenses from ML are on average all lighter than a 20/30%, and if you want to make a pro kit, the grams become kg. Would I take it back? yes, but more for the sake of nostalgic memories, for the wielding of a reflex, the last real reflex, than for a real investment. Is it valid? Absolutely, but the bayonet Nikon F will have short, undeniable life. How are the files? the beautiful nikon files, where you can recover even a black shot, 46mpx, corrected of the defects of the ancestor generation (d800). It's a vitaminized d810 and made definitive sent on January 16, 2020 |
 | Sony A7r III Pros: Final machine, it has everything you need. Of course, the 4 will do everything a little better, but here you already have an absurd quality concentrate that can please everyone in every area, current price, body solidity, CORREDO Cons: some compatible lenses, but it is moving a lot on the Tamron/sigma front, poor choice between telephoto lenses, cryptic menus for those coming from other brands but here it is just a matter of habit/attitude: no menu is difficult, you just have to get used to it (in this case the cunning are the shortcuts with the C buttons) Opinion: If I say it is my definitive machine, does anyone believe it (especially those who know me and know that I change 5 kits a year for now 3 abundant years)? Yet, after a we of intensive use between landscapes and portraits, I can definitely say that it is really a perfect machine for everyone. Solid, always efficient, ready for anything. Among the pluses I put the kit: well yes, now there are exclusive lenses for Sony (Voigtlander among all), and this was the reason why I changed from D850 to Sony A7r3 and I have absolutely no regrets. Once you have set the machine properly, you will never re-enter the menu, you only use shortcuts. I'm still learning how to set it all up, but already so the experience is really pleasant. Rating: 9.5 (because the r4 that for now MUST be 10) UPDATE: as someone will have read in the forum, I changed it with the Canon R, a bit for necessity, a bit for lack of fun: on the Canon I found that feeling I had with the old reflexes , both as usability and as a menu, at the cost of lower pp performance. The true love with Sony never exploded in the end, was it always lukewarm, the fault of old habits? Can. In any case I confirm the goodness of Sony and the fact that it is a definitive machine, if you do not have problems of ergonomics and budget for the kit. UPDATE 2: Nowadays, the perfect mirrorless doesn't exist, but having an a7r3 and an Eos R at the same time comes close to perfection sent on October 20, 2019 |
 | Canon EF 16-35mm f/4L IS USM Pros: an authentic blade, incredible surrender, coupled with Sony is addictive, I dare not imagine on an a7r3 Cons: it's a shame you can't mount it on Nikon, whose 16-35 has some to eat to look like this Opinion: I was absolutely amazed when I saw the PC files: at 100% magnification you see incredible details and veins, thanks to an excellent contrast and microcontrast never screamed. Great color yield, neutral. Incredible starry. Suffers very little from flare (how he heck do you say he suffers from flare? you've never seen a Tokina or a sony 12-24 evidently), never falls of contrast. Only flaw, but that is not a flaw being physical: the minimum distance of maf, with such a beautiful lens would be the maximum to be able to upset the prospects by doing stacking, but everything can not be had. I was sorry to have to separate. sent on August 17, 2019 |
 | Sony E 10-18mm f/4 OSS Pros: Compactness and lightness, unique wide-angle zoom for Sony apsc Cons: performance not at the height, plastic (but serves to contain weight), never incisive Opinion: I had two copies, believing that the first had failed by reading here and there the variability of yield that you could face: the second had the same yield.... Quite disappointed, it is an optics with which any diaphragm you get the feeling that it lacks contrast, the file is never really detailed, it lacks crispness. In short, a valid ally but nothing more, because in the end it is a compromise, or rather an athlete who competes alone. At present, for 500euro it may be worth the purchase to be covered where at least two lenses would be needed, thus avoiding continuous optical changes in perhaps windy environments. Pay attention to Amazon, often and willingly reaches the 580euro new sold and shipped by Amazon, but just as often it jumps to 700 or 800euros. Warehouses should also be kept an eye on! sent on August 17, 2019 |
 | Sony A7 II Pros: FF of the new guard, an investment for the field of optics, performance at 24mpx respectable Cons: valid for everything but does not excel at anything, AF still as an old age, too pre-preserving to the first generation Opinion: As mentioned, it represents precisely the transition between the first geological era of the mirrorless FF and the new modern era. It finally has an AF (why don't tell me that the first generation had an AF, please), but not enough to be able to work on it or shoot at high intensity and speed. The file yield remains as good as in the first series (we are at the level of d750 and higher than 5dmk3 and 6d), with malleable files and neutral colors. He suffered initially from the shortage of lenses, now finally begins to be there a large set (I recommend in particular the samyang 1.4 fixed for the QP report). To this day I consider it a good old age for those who want to launch into the ML FF world and prefer to invest in the kit rather than the car or to those looking for a car on which to take advantage of the focus peaking with vintage lenses: the natural step will be the switch to A73 or A7R3 to savor the real mirrorless revolution sent on August 17, 2019 |
 | Sony A6400 Pros: Excellent files, weight and size proof of handbag, a sniper, THE MAF TOUCH A LIBIDINE, focuses in a nanosecond Cons: OTTICHE, perhaps too miniaturized for those who have the hands, I have already said OTTICHE? Opinion: A jewel. Really pleased to have tried it and to be pleasantly satisfied despite the premises charged her with performance anxiety. The AF must be learned well, it has too many settings to be able to set it in the immediate, but it deserves: I dare say revolutionary in this price range. He takes the subject, loads and snaps like a gun. Still staying in the AF field, I definitely ADORATO the maf touch system: the photos of landscapes on the tripod are taken with extremely reduced latency, thus being able to capture very rapid variations of light if you do bracketing and stacking. The small body sums up joys and pains: on the one hand the weight and the concrete possibility of putting it in the handbag or pocket of the jacket (with its 16-50) and always having it with it, on the other the necessary miniaturization of the controls and the need to navigate between the various menu to set anything (particularly disliked the bracketing setting with 2second snap delay: you have to look for it in different sections without a logical sense). The real flaw of the system is absolutely the lack of lenses that do justice to this jewel: the 10-18 does not perform properly, always returns images a little soft and without microcontrast, the 16-50 does what it can (you do not buy for quality but for other features), the 55-210 does not allow you to take advantage of the beautiful AF despite being native.... In short, it deserves more attention, especially to make this beautiful machine excel. The files are very beautiful, I was satisfied both as a dynamic range and as a high iso yield: remember that it is NOT A FF, I initially forgot this and I took it with the FF mentality and literally stole a photo output of 3 days. Not bad because I don't work on it, but I lost good files. Ultimately, I recommend it if you are aware of the limits of the system in its entirety. The most direct rival (xt3) has a really good (albeit really expensive) and complete set, which should not be underestimated. Changed just to get back on FF. sent on August 17, 2019 |
 | Canon 6D Pros: Trusted Allied, Canon "colors", used quote, size-to-weight ratio in the reflex world Cons: AF does not exist (improved in fact in the heir) Opinion: A very trusted ad. To date it can be found on the 550 euros with very few shots and held really well. You have to know what you are taking (and maybe this is the mistake I made): a machine with a particularly limited AF (although I worked on it in the circuit with the center point), with a dynamic range not excellent, especially when compared to its nikon peers, but with a made to high iso very valid. The colors, you can say what you want, but they are really beautiful: the jpeg are already ready to go out, the complexion does not need adjustments, if you shoot with the right light is a pleasure for portraiture. The files are sufficiently malleable, but don't expect miracles... he can't afford them. In conclusion, a great low-budget alternative for those who crave from FF, for those who love the Canon optical park and want to keep full compatibility. sent on August 17, 2019 |
 | Canon EF 100-400mm f/4.5-5.6 L IS USM Pros: Versatility, innovative, has opened a new segment of focal hike Cons: Heavy if compared to the new Tamron and Sigma (1/3 stop more dark, that's not the reason) Opinion: Reliable lens, a good gregarious, so I'd feel like defining it. Great for nothing, good for everything: use it in the circuit and it makes you all right, but of course it excels in nothing compared to other zoom 2.8 or longer lenses (like the 600mm F4). Excellent also for landscape for the infinite composition possibilities that it offers. In conclusion, a good/excellent lens, at the price of today's used, if you find a specimen in good/excellent condition and you intend to keep canon long, it is a bargain! You will only sell it when you change brand (because it will happen sooner or later:P) sent on December 03, 2018 |
 | Canon EF 600mm f/4 L USM Pros: If you do not know what year it is, at the level of performance would seem a lens today. Super fast Af, monstrous quality, soft bokeh Cons: Weighs double the new 600mm stabilized. Opinion: A beast, in every sense: massive, cannon-proof, with the lens hood looks really like a bazooka. It focuses in an instant, makes the MAF of 70-200 2.8 and 100-400 seem slow, to say. Excellent optical quality, the JPEGs that come out seem already edited, the Raw are lust! A lens to have to have if you work, and you plan to always use it with the monopod. Unthinkable to make us free hand sent on December 03, 2018 |
 | Sony A7r Pros: Makes you understand what mirrorless means Cons: System still immature, innovative for the time but today immature Opinion: If the lens is to have a FF bigpixel spending little, and using it only for landscapes or still life, without therefore the need for an AF sniper, is still fine, indeed, for the quotation of the used, I would say it is almost a musthave. But if you need some AF (portraiture or vaguely some sport in motion), the machine looks blind. To be used well aware of its limitations in this field. If you intend to use it with vintage lenses, beware of surrender, the 36mpx do not forgive! Improved grip in the second series, needed improvement! sent on December 03, 2018 |
 | Nikon D810 Pros: I dare say everything, if you buy it, aware of its characteristics, does not betray expectations Cons: Slow but you know it from before, heavy but you know it from before, so nothing. Opinion: Maybe the car I loved the most. I do not know if because linked to a moment of my weakness, and also bought for a sense of revenge, but surely I loved her from the first moment and sell it was really a tragedy, photographically speaking. Unfortunately it requires lenses, both from the point of view of optical performance and speed: I have always liked to assimilate it to a mammoth, slow and reflective, but it does everything with an extreme quality. AF not as fast as the d750 but more accurate, has less sensitivity to the dark (-3 stops of the d750, versus I-2 stop the d810), overall the AF has never let me down, indeed! Distribution of the points of MAF I dare say perfect to get us all! Powerful body, full viewfinder, massive, in short, is felt in tow, but it is the price to pay to have an excellent reflex. Fairytale files, for geeks like me is pure lust recover files with lights exposed well but closed shadows, and be able to get them almost as if the file was and move correctly. And the 36mpx feel, even at the PC, so if you are going to work pretty heavily files but you do not have a PC Prestante, think well! With the advent of d850, this seems almost his old mom, to evaluate well in the optics used considering the current quotation (for 2/300 €, if you do not need the speed of d750, to be preferred with eyes closed!) sent on December 03, 2018 |
 | Nikon D600 Pros: Best value for money in the entire FF panorama (other than D700...) Cons: Obvious handicaps and castrations introduced by the mother on purpose to not cannibalize the market Opinion: Had, sold to take the d750, then d810, then a7r, then d750 and finally d600 (with Olympus Intermezzo EM1 Mk2). What about, if I came back on this machine after all my laps, in addition to a speech of money, there is also a speech of "not betraying expectations": The machine is a trust allied, the performance are respectable, especially considering that to date, on the market , a FF at €500 or so, with this performance, you don't find it. And his sister d750 costs twice as much, I dare say unsubtly (if you do mostly landscape like me): The dynamic range at low ISO is better in Sister D600. is not an all around, in portraiture his points all concentrated in the center does not help (which is why the substitution), idem the absence of the screen tiltabile, if you feel the lack (I had even the one with the flexible arm on the Canon 600d and the First contact without tilt screen was traumatic). So, in conclusion, if you have reduced finances but you want to give a FF, this is the best solution. Is it worth the jump to the d750? If you need gust and points of MAF less in the center, you, otherwise spare yourselves those €300 and enjoy this without fears! sent on December 03, 2018 |
 | Nikon D750 Pros: Performance, price-quality ratio, overhead monitor, viewfinder, focus, the being (until the d850 is introduced) the only all around on the market of professional quality Cons: The sense of uneasiness that puts you Nikon when buying a DSLR in recent years... Opinion: The machine is almost perfect. Had, sold for Bigpixel mania (read d810), shot when I realized that big pixels need bigexpensive lenses:) MAF very fast, well arranged points (central as all FF SLR but cover every need), the only its limit are the lenses that you put in front! The only thing I noticed, having also had the d600: the latter at 100iso appeared cleaner, less "granosa" and with a greater dynamic range. We talk about little stuff, but I noticed it: it's probably due to the fact that if they improve performance at high ISO (d750 > d600), they worsen performance at low ISO (dynamic range d600 > d750). Too bad for the first specimens with the various recalls, and also sin for those shutters replaced and failed them too. Ah, I beg to say: shameful the quotation of the used, to this day import new ones cost €1000, are offered on the market (but also elsewhere) machines out of warranty (and maybe even import too) at the same price with boatloads of shots... thank goodness That there are chickens, but to this day, in my opinion, the right price for this used jewel is on the 800/850 € maximum, 900 if seminuovi sent on December 03, 2018 |
 | Olympus OM-D E-M1 II Pros: Construction, controls, features (addictive), Optical park, price of the system, weight Cons: If the high ISO yield is comparable to that of an APSC, the dynamic range is not yet Opinion: Held 3 months, tested in depth during a photo trip of 10 days in Tenerife, where it was taken sand, brackish water, waves, wind and cold: never a hint of fatigue, even after having practically dipped for 20 seconds: clean and broken without flinching. From this point of view perhaps the most durable camera I have had. Sold unfortunately because the illusion to carry less weight with a yield "almost" FF was soon betrayed: I snapped (strictly in ORF) of the net backlight, and where with a FF, but also with an APSC, I would have recovered Benone, here I failed to Recover even Benino. Satisfied instead of the high ISO, on these were made some nice steps forward. For me, to date, the system is not yet mature enough at the performance level, to replace a FF system, also considering the price of the machine body only, if you work in the Landscape. I find it suitable for photos in controlled light conditions (study) or, considering the ratio price-magnification, to those who make naturalistic (you can have a 300 F4, equivalent 600 F4, at a quarter of the price of any other similar focal of any other brand On the market). In this case, features such as the 18fps, the possibility to record the shots as soon as it is focussed (even before you crush the shutter button thoroughly then), the strength of the body, the quality of the lenses, and the yield to mid-high ISO, can make the throat of those who do not It wants or can no longer carry the following kg and kg of equipment. For me to postpone when it will have a really competitive sensor, the system has the cards in order to trouble the older sisters! sent on December 03, 2018 |
 | Nikon AF 85mm f/1.8 D Pros: Sharpness not screamed, bokeh, lightness, f2 optical performance Cons: sharpness to ta (but it is quite normal), my sample suffers slightly from fb focus Opinion: An exceptional lens. rnUsed on d750 where he complained a slight fb focus (corrected with fine adjustment), on d810 instead was calibrated correctly (mystery, do not ask why). On both SLRs he always satisfied me, but you have to know what to expect. It does not have the overclocked clarity of the G series (not that it is better or worse, they are personal tastes), but as you close the diaphragm improves the sharpness up to f2.5 / 3.2 where it becomes sharp! at 1.8 has a slight glow effect that if tamed, can become a pro! rnLa I'm still using on a7r through the metabones and the fact that the ring of the maf is so soft means that the use in mf is extremely fun, with a practice (and the use of focus peaking) is able to have a manual focusing speed better than the automatic. In this regard, the AF is quite slow and noisy, in conditions of poor contrast fails and you have to resort to mf, compromises more than acceptable. rnLast consideration on theprice: 250 € used is a bargain, a bestbuy. Now, mf for mf, I'm quite trying to switch to Samyang 85 / 1.4, but this 85 kidnapped me and will always remain in my heart, whatever my future choice! sent on February 06, 2018 |
 | Canon 7D Pros: The machine perfect APSC around in the daylight photography (although starting to show the side due to age) Cons: nothing for me, always considering who is 10 years old and is still able to give much pleasure Opinion: It states: Use this beast on the track, photographer from 9 to 18/19, and good light situations (when cloudy) / good (sunny days) .rnLa'm scramble for good, and never shows his side. The ergonomics are perfect (considering that photographer with dual kit, canon to use work, leisure nikon) and I never find difficulty in -ricche and complete settings for any wherever required, perfect autofocus, burst gorgeous, with the right CF the write speed is remarkable. Sometimes iso medium to high use (1250-1600) even during the day, and if well exposed, does not show the annoying noise that instead clearly shows in the case of underexposure / night photograph. Also Use 80d and 6d, and this is what gives me the feeling of solidity and security that the others do not give me (especially the 80d, which used together with the 7D looks like a toy in everything, even in the shutter sound -you made amends for qi-). Ultimately, it is 400euro for a tank to have, maybe insieme to a 300/4 or 400 / 5.6 (if not more optical emblazoned) sent on March 27, 2017 |
 | Canon EF 400mm f/5.6 L USM Pros: sharpness, even at 5.6, af speed, engraving Cons: maybe a little uncomfortable to grip Opinion: a really good goal, the use in circuit coupled to 7d and gives me great satisfaction! rnNitido, very fast, thanks to the af the 7d, does not lose the af even in large changes in depth of the subject (for intenederci, the subject and curved approaches, implies a good job for the motor lens maf, and never lose lock!) rnL'unico flaw is that it is uncomfortable leggemente the handle, as there is little space on the barrel, and maybe even the hood, that if it is bruised it becomes very hard to move and fix adequately, but have defects very minimal compared to what the good offers that goal! rnPer who says he preferred stabilized because impractical, remember that the stabilization requires other lenses, and the weight (and price) would greatly levitated. The same applies to the excessively small aperture ... at this price you can not ask for more if not to compromise! sent on March 27, 2017 |
 | Tokina AT-X PRO 28-70mm f/2.8 Pros: A bomb, sturdy, durable, all-metal, blunt object for some aspects! Crisp at rt, quick and precise af, although with little light is a bit uncertain in some situations. Cons: It weighs, but it is the price to pay for a lens made of war trial Opinion: Weight: expression that kids of our day use to express astonishment at something amazing. but it is also the aprola that is used to refer to the "weight" (proper) of an object. I think it's the right adjective: a very good optics, with enviable optical design, sharp in any situation, even at room temperature, fast and accurate af, a little uncertain twilight (but is there). Solid and eternal. for what it costs then !! (Recommended 2.6-2.8 version as a first choice, alternatively 2.8 to 77mm diameter filters, 72 leave him, is not up) sent on February 11, 2016 |
 | Tokina AT-X Pro 11-16mm f/2.8 DX II Pros: Crisp, but not as much as I expected; excellent construction; Cons: heavy, but it is bright, there is; Range of focal somewhat infamous, neither too short nor too long; flare .... never mind Opinion: A good goal, without infamy and without praise for me. It will be that maybe I caught a particularly unfortunate model. has never shone for sharpness, I expected very different results as sharpness, and instead. the range of focal lengths, as I said, is a bit like this: neither fish nor fowl, always either too long or short toroppo. The weight is felt. Ah, do not try to turn with the machine attached to the easel and the meeting will serve fixed: unscrews. Alarm simply by screwing the small screws back of the tail light, but I just got blurry photos for a week with this trick! Overall, Promoted but with a 7. sent on February 11, 2016 |
 | Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Pros: Sharp enough to turn pale even optical emblazoned (landscapes) Good focal range Rather than sell it for pennies, I would keep as a safety light in a APSC kit Extremely durable, unbelievable! possibility of being able to reverse to make macro with great satisfaction Cons: plasticky construction, alas ring nonexistent maf in practice Opinion: Well, I have also taken us an EP with this view, at night ... I could not help but love her !! Sharp, durable, he has never left me, neither in the rain nor with alpine cold. When asked, he replied semrpe present. Too bad the brightness, otherwise would give a hard time to optics that cost at least 5-6 times. Top marks for me! sent on February 11, 2016 |
