Canon 5D Mark III

Pros: Versatile, high iso, live view, silent shutter. Ease of finding optical quality new and used.

Cons: Poor exposure latitude. Slight magenta cast. It would be very useful to the wi-fi.

Opinion: I took the 5d MarkIII essentially to make videos. Once I had in my hands, I exploded once again the old passion for photography. Using the camera to work and I find that the 5d MarkIII, while excellent on many parameters, it is quite disappointing on the dynamic range. And 'certainly much less than the film and also to my camera. The difference then what the human eye sees is abysmal. I wonder why the search for new sensors, Canon is so focused on the 50 Mega pixels (very useful to marketers), and so little actual use of contrasting subjects. It would take a sensor that can read much better shadows closed, also to avoid as much as possible-bracketing multiple exposures. I understand that competition on this issue is proceeding much faster.

Manfrotto Compact MKC3-P01

Pros: The price is 60 € or so. 1:15 Weight Kg. Quick release.

Cons: Too dancer, good for a GoPro or a PDA. The hybrid head if you are not careful, they tend to give up very quickly taken, with possible dangerous reversals that may put at risk the equipment (DSLR Canon 17-40, 70-200).

Opinion: This is my sixth stand (5 Manfrotto and Libec for video, as well as numerous stands). I bought the Manfrotto version MKC3-H01 Series Kit with Compact Hybrid Head for Photography and Video with DSLR and Camcorders, 5 Sections, Black Aluminum. rnhttp://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B0049SVTXG?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o09_s00rnrnDevo say I'm not satisfied and I seem to have a little 'wasted my money, even considering that I had to buy separate bag / case (27 other €).rnhttp://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B0098QT684?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o08_s00rnrnUsando the side ports Basic Backpack Amazon, really excellent, the stand tends to stick out a bit 'at the bottom (still a bit' retracted) .rnrnCon hindsight I should have taken a more stable, if less economical. It ' true that here the weight is about one kilogram less than the average for tripods photograph, but when you do long trips with several pounds of equipment on their backs, the weight it feels comunquand it is some disappointment for vibration, even without dragging in macro or long lenses. You can not always use the timer.

Samyang 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC Aspherical

Pros: Sharpness, luminositò, quality / price. Focal interesting for creative uses

Cons: Vignette showy

Opinion: I refer to the Samyang 14 mm f 3.5, for use in cinema. Quest 'goal is the same as the f 2.8 version, which only has a stepless aperture, without jerks. Definitely you have in your kit. And 'perspective is not easy to use, but when you start to get the hang of the results are very exciting. The price is excellent, and if you find a used ... rnrnrnhttp: //www.juzaphoto.com/galleria.php? T = 1063901 & l = en

Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM

Pros: Versatility, an important asset in many situations of use.

Cons: And 'perspective is not specialized, then goals that arise for specific uses offer the best performance ever.

Opinion: I was photographing a classical music concert that was held in a small environment. I had with me: 17-40, 50 and 70-200 1.8 f4.rnMi felt covered for every need, but ... I realized that I lost in the transmission optical highlights, curious expressions or intense. I then developed the idea of ??using a single optical "generalist", maybe not excellent in everything, but who has the precious commodity to be ready for every occasion. Sure, if I try the quality of the hair splitting going on optical first, but ... if I have to travel light, perhaps with a small bag of anonymous, this is the right choice. Today you will find at affordable prices and is a good buy, recommended, even for the stabilizer.
