The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Sony A7 III Pros: Compactness, lightness, photographic quality, value for money Cons: Chaotic menu, high probability of dirtying the sensor (lack of protection) Opinion: Bought in 2018 just released after shooting for several years with Nikon SLRs. Transition from REFLEX to ML: once I decided to switch to FF, due to several night shots to be thrown away due to the low sensitivity to high iso of my D7200, it also seemed to me a good opportunity to change system and type of machine. Personally I think that the electronic viewfinder, the focus peaking and the compactness of the machine are essential elements that have never made me regret the change. Sony A7III review: at the time of purchase Sony was the only one to offer a mature ML FF system both at the level of machines and optics; therefore the choice fell on the FF machine with better quality / price ratio and with a "human" sensor from "only" 24mpx, more than sufficient and that do not require stratospheric optics. Actually the Sony A7III has never disappointed me in terms of performance: excellent high iso resistance, decent stabilization, excellent AF, good ergonomics and customizations. The only real drawback, in addition to the somewhat chaotic menu, is the extreme ease in dirtying the sensor. At the time there were no ML with protection curtain, but today, having to change the system, with I would discard other brands even for this reason. No less important detail: the machine after 3 years has devalued very little on the market (new), a sign of excellent longevity and value hold. sent on August 30, 2021 |
 | Tamron 70-180mm f/2.8 Di III VXD Pros: Lightness, size, prices, overall optical quality Cons: Basic build quality, lack of optical stabilizer Opinion: Purchased for use on a Sony Alpha M3. Lightweight, compact and of more than satisfactory optical quality, especially compared to the price, extremely lower than any other option for Sony. I don't think there are any other options at the moment (2021) without selling a kidney and/or going on fixed. However it is absolutely not a low-quality fallback option. sent on August 30, 2021 |
 | Samyang AF 18mm f/2.8 FE Pros: Quality, weight and size. Cons: lens hood Opinion: I convinced myself to buy this lens because it is very light and very small, as well as exasperated by the focus of my Samyang 14mm. After the lost 4mm, there is no comparison: it is sharper (especially at the edges), more compact, MAF much better. The price is ridiculous for the overall quality it offers and for the utility, especially for travel photographers. Of course the lampshed is a toy and some more premium lens details are missing; however, in my opinion, it remains the wide angle to take for those who travel and do not just take landscape photography. sent on June 19, 2021 |
 | Sigma 35mm f/1.4 DG HSM Art Pros: Sharpness and overall quality, construction, bokeh Cons: Weight, size, autofocus sometimes inaccurate Opinion: Sony E version. Lens with really good quality and for the price for which it is sold. The construction is impeccable but the size is important, both weight and length, synches if still acceptable on a sony alpha. The autofocus is good but not lightning, especially when compared to native sony lenses, even the cheapest ones. Recommended for portraits set, street and night photography, sometimes I even use it for landscape. For photojournalism, however, I had to accompany him a Sony 28 f2, as there is no comparison. sent on August 24, 2020 |
 | Samyang AF 14mm f/2.8 FE Pros: Sharpness (especially in the center), focal, size Cons: Inaccurate Autofocus, MF Distances, Distortion Opinion: Great lens for the cost of sale. Excellent sharpness in the middle and good at the corners considering the extreme focus, which is definitely an added value in certain situations. Compact size and pretty good construction. The weak point is surely the autofocus, very often inaccurate, regardless of the light situation in which it works. I often found it difficult to focus even manually. In my personal opinion it is a lens to have to cover certain situations (also given the cost) but it must be combined with something more precise and less extreme to have a balanced set. sent on August 24, 2020 |
 | Sony FE 28mm f/2 Pros: General portability, general performance and price Cons: Edge quality and distortion Opinion: Purchased as a lightweight lens from photo-journalism, especially when you have to go unnoticed, and placed in the optical park with the Samyang 14 and 18mm 2.8, the Sigma Art 35mm 1.4 and the Sony 85mm 1.8. He does his job well, even if it is not a perfect lens, in fact the lightness and dimensions are perfect for the concept of transportability - often just an illusion - of mirrorless. The overall performance is good in fact the autofocus is very fast and the lens in the center is sharp, however the quality at the edges is quite mediocre. In fact it is the opposite of Sigma Art, autofocus not perfect but very sharp lens on the whole frame. Personally, the choice between these two objectives is closely influenced by light (if it is evening the Sigma is a must) and portability/visibility (the Sony is unreachable). Price, transportability and rather good quality make this 28mm highly recommended if you choose it for the use for which it was designed. Keep in mind, however, that it does not excel at anything. There are semi-grandangles, street lenses and better portrait lenses for the photographic genre for which they were designed. sent on August 23, 2020 |
 | Tokina AT-X Pro 12-24mm f/4 DX II Pros: Excellent sharpness, building, weight, no distortion Cons: Flare and hood Opinion: It 'was my first and my first wide angle lens for my Nikon D80 not. The overall quality is beyond question, it is an excellent lens. Unfortunately, the flare is worth all the money difference with a Nikkor 12-24 or 10-24 (with which I replaced). At 12mm the lens hood enters into the picture, which does not happen with nikkor 10-24 at 10mm but at least this problem is solved by purchasing a new hood. Really, if you are (like me) you have to choose between a Tokina (version so with less flare !!) to 300 euro (used) or a nikkor 400 Euros or more (still used) choose absolutely the Nikkor. Otherwise you'll have to do the triple somersaults to avoid the flare, the understanding that for the rest of the lens is of excellent quality. sent on December 11, 2015 |
 | Nikon AF 70-210mm f/4-5.6 Pros: Construction, compactness, price, excellent sharpness and overall quality Cons: speed autofocus, "only" 210mm Opinion: I started with a D80, an old and 18-55 lens inherited this from my father. I am going to replace the D80, I replaced the 18-55, I bought so many other optical (sometimes sold as well) but this will not replace it for a very long time. And 'well-built, it is sharp, the autofocus is slow but I do not mind and above can be replaced only with new optical that would not add much, indeed. Highly recommended for those on a budget and have a high quality canvas. sent on November 03, 2015 |
