leica_clLeica CL

Pros: Aesthetics, file quality, immediacy of use, optical quality, system compactness

Cons: The only negative element may be the price, but, considering the quality of the whole, I consider it appropriate.

Opinion: In the past I have owned various M's, from the M7 (to film), up to the M240. Then, following the worsening of my vision, which made it difficult for me to seal with the telemeter and given the approximate results of the external electronic sights (at least for the M240), I passed with satisfaction to Sony a7r3, which I still own and of which I am very satisfied. I bought the CL to have a more compact system with the AF lenses and, in fact, the pleasure of using it with the minuscule and qualitative 18, 2.8, or the practicality, in travel photography, of the compact zooms 18-56 and 55-135, not bright but also of great quality, I was thrilled. In addition, the quality of the files is such that the need to intervene in post production and frankly almost always comparable to that of the best full frames. In short, a small masterpiece.

sony_fe50_f1-4zaSony FE 50mm f/1.4 ZA Planar T*

Pros: Sharpness, correction, autofocus, bokeh, build accuracy, solidity.

Cons: Size

Opinion: Ordered for two months and finally arrived, I immediately mounted on the A7R3 and I did some homemade shots without any sense except to perceive the sensations that the optics gave me. Of course it is a questionable method to give an opinion on a goal, but I have to say that, for many years to this side and dozens of proven goals of any brand (Nikon, Canon, Leica, Fuji, Sony, Zeiss) The initial sensations have never been denied More in-depth evidence in the field. Well, the sensations are great. It is true that the dimensions are conspicuous, but the way in which the complex machine/optics falls in hand convinced me a lot, I find it quite balanced already with the machine smooth, perfect with machine and battery PAC. The autofocus is quick and accurate, enjoyable and effective in the eye-AF function, the fantastic manual focus for regularity of the ring's sliding and support of the magnification, the bokeh I really like and consider that I'm used to that of the Leica Preaspherical. The optical quality is remarkable, great sharpness and corrections to the limits of perfection, except perhaps a bit of vignetting, moreover easily correctable in post. What about, I have the impression that this 50 will be stationed on the machine for a long time and will give me many satisfactions. I will update and complete these considerations after the first session of portrait already programmed for the next we. After yesterday's shooting I can confirm the excellent impressions that in the field have induced in me a sincere enthusiasm for this goal. Mounted on the A7R3 is a fantastic tool for obtaining excellent portraits. If this doesn't happen, all the blame is from the photographer. Princely blurred and airiness that reminds me (even) my Leica M preaspheric. I mean, more than satisfied.

canon_85_f1-2_v2Canon EF 85mm f/1.2 L II USM

Pros: Target only from the impression, especially when used at the widest apertures, but also excellent for studio sessions.

Cons: I would say that its flaws make it unique, so for me to have advantages: eg., A certain sensitivity to flare, if properly channeled, gives an aura magic and dreamy to the images produced.

Opinion: It 'a goal-oriented purely to certain genres: portrait, fashion, glamor, conceptual images and astratte.rnLa its footprint is often recognizable, characterized as it is by airiness of surrender and a pictorial blur that bring him close to some beautiful goals Leica.rnEssendo a lens constructed with the contribution of aspherical lenses, has the typical defined contrast between the subject and the background, that someone may like, other meno.rnIo love him very much in certain situations, while others prefer to use the preasferico Leica M Summilux 75 1.4 (first Leica M240, now Sony a7II), characterized by a very soft and gradual focus, for a yield of more vintage.rnLa 85 1.2 yield is more like that of most modern Leica M Summicron 75 apo asph, which is also characterized by a more defined contrast of blur to the entire apertura.rnIn any case, I consider the 85 f / 1.2 L II one of the essential for the way I fotografare.rnrnrn
