olympus_mzuiko_17_f1-8Olympus M.Zuiko 17mm f/1.8

Pros: Dimensions, manual focus bezel.

Cons: There will always be sharper, lighter, brighter, cheaper lenses :-)

Opinion: I've been using it with satisfaction for a while. I used it with the em10 and I use it with the em1 MarkII . It is a 35 equivalent bright, with a decent blur, also good focus speed, I really like the switch to switch to manual ... It's compact, almost a pancake (it really fits in a pocket of comfortable pants). The construction is good, despite the use I made of it not a sign of wear... I used it mainly with the EM-10 with which it forms a compact and quality coupling. Excellent in general use, compared to 75 and 12-45 it returns colors a little colder, as if the white balance was always wrong in colder shades (however, obviously it is adjusted in post or by setting the jpegs properly). Many complain about the lack of the hood in the package, I rarely use them but in fact if you want to buy it it costs very expensive (in proportion to the cost of the lens) even if there are cheap sub-brands and it is not that the original gives you who knows what more .. to me it appeared very sharp, even at full aperture, like all Olympus lenses I had, even if it does not have that contrast typical of macros or that for example has the 12-45 ... In short, it will not be the top for landscapes but for a generalist use (as the focal recommends) it is excellent. I recommend all microfooterzists to try it because on the net there are often unexciting comments that in my opinion do not do justice to this beautiful lens, obviously if one is comfortable with this focal length ....

olympus_m40-150rOlympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 40-150mm f/4-5.6 R

Pros: Cost, lightness

Cons: Construction

Opinion: I have to tell the truth, I didn't use it very much, but I made a couple of outings and in my opinion it finds its maximum in landscape use when lightness makes the difference. In the past I had on apsc the 55-300 Nikon, an almost equivalent in apsc. At the time I paid the Nikon more than double what I paid this Olympus. In general the optical quality seemed superior to me as a final result, not excellent but still good ... doing a bit of testing the quality seemed to me to improve a lot by just closing the 6.3/7.1 aperture at the maximum focal length, while at the minimum or in any case at the medium / short focal lengths it seemed to me to be fine even at the maximum aperture. The construction instead the Nikon seemed better, more solid and easy to handle and also the stabilizer worked very well. Unfortunately I used it only on om10 first series and I can not express myself neither on the stabilizer, which at long focal lengths (over 100) did not go much, nor on the autofocus, only in contrast of the first series, which was quite slow. Probably on more modern machines it will certainly be better. I expressed my doubts a bit, but in the end you also have to consider the price... at less than 100 euros an 80-300 equivalent does not exist, and if it exists it is worse than this, ok it will not be a top of the range but it is absolutely worth more than the price at which it is found around.

olympus_12-45_f4proOlympus M.Zuiko Digital ED 12-45mm f/4 Pro

Pros: Compactness, sharpness, construction

Cons: The switch to switch to manual focus with metric scales.

Opinion: I had for a while this lens, all the features for which you buy are confirmed once purchased. Excellent sharpness at all focal lengths already at full aperture, I do not find defects either backlight or as distortions at the minimum focal length (for my use), in low light conditions it slows down the autofocus a little becoming less precise. Why prefer it to 2.8? surely for the compactness and practicality of use in addition to the lower cost, why prefer it to the 12-100 f4? even more so for the compactness and cost. If the focal lengths of use are sufficient for your way of photographing and do not interest the blurred in my opinion it is an excellent lens. In general, landscape and / or street use it has no rivals in the system, even the stabilization in the room is sufficient given the focal lengths at stake. Another point in favor is the minimum focusing distance that allows you to make excellent close-ups even in wide-angle format. I used it on Olympus EM-1 Mark II and EM-10 and it never gave any problems. It allows you to better appreciate and understand the M4/3 system. I sold it for non-use but I will buy it again soon as soon as I start traveling again...

tokina_11-20_f2-8Tokina AT-X 11-20mm f/2.8 PRO DX

Pros: Sharpness, Brightness

Cons: Non-tropicalized, minimum vignetting at 11 F2.8 (correctable with a click on lightroom)

Opinion: I had for quite some time this beautiful lens that used on Nikon d7100 gave me so much satisfaction. The equivalent focal length range is the classic 16-28 which makes it ideal for landscapes, interiors and street. I consider it a wide angle all-rounder, but its optimum is the landscape, given the "crunchiness" of the file obtained. It is able to accommodate screw, polarizer and nd filters for long exposures at human prices. The 2.8 allows you to gain ISO stops in low light conditions such as indoors whose focal length allows an adequate PDC and an optimal angle of view in confined spaces. Also adequate for photographs of stars being a 2.8 and with 24 mpx APSC I arrived at about 20 seconds of exposure without moving but you can go further with a certain tolerance. Sharp in an excellent way adequate to the 24 mpx of an apsc but I think it can go even further. I found, unlike many convenient the manual focus switch. It should keep the automatisms with the new Nikon Z and adapter, so I highly recommend it to all APSC owners. If we really want to find faults I can say a minimum of vignetting and distortion at 11mm but all correctable effortlessly with the lens profile in lightroom activated ... The flare problem that everyone complains about in my opinion is a non-problem being really minimal and obtainable only in very particular conditions ... although rare also some chromatic aberrations that however disappear with the usual objective profile .. What can I say, I sold it only for passage to Olympus but it remains at the moment still one of the favorite lenses among those I had.

nikon_28-80dNikon AF 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6D

Pros: Lightweight and very cheap

Cons: Well it's not a blade

Opinion: I found it in kit with the f70 given to me by a relative, having an apsc (d7100) I did not find the focal lengths adequate to my needs so I sold it, I'm sorry to keep what I do not use.... From what little I tried I can say that if I had had an FF (maybe the d700) I would have kept it, at the level of sharpness it does not seem evil and given the low weight and the good focal excursion on such a car can have its say, if you then consider that you can also find it at about 50/60 euros in good condition for me it is a bargain ... Among the cons the noisy and slow autofocus typical of the D series (compared to today's) ..... In short, considering the price you know that you do not take a top lens but on machines like d700 can safely say his without spending unnecessary money for overcostous and heavy goals to take pictures in Sunday picnics .....

nikon_50_f1-8gNikon AF-S 50mm f/1.8 G

Pros: Sharpness, lightness, cost, etc. etc.

Cons: If you like the 50mm it won't disappoint you

Opinion: I had it for about a month, I already have the 50 F1.8 AF with which in particular situations I found myself well. I came into possession of it by chance (friend who sold everything off;), so I decided to take it to possibly replace the old AF by looking for something sharper with open diaphragms. It is sharp and very fast in focus and silent, it is light, in short, what more to want from a goal? nothing. The 50 g is a normal lens (in all senses) what is missing is just a bit of character... the AF (which I still have) in the backlights makes a very particular blurry closed by F5.6 practically equals the G (which however is more contrasted while the autofocus instead has the most open shadows) so in the end I decided to keep the noisy one, not sharp with open diaphragms but with the fairytale blurr and sell the "best". If I had a full frame I would most likely have kept it for light releases as a handyman but on apsc I opted for sale, still keeping the old 50 F1.8 AF.

nikon_17-55_f2-8dxNikon AF-S DX 17-55mm f/2.8 G ED

Pros: Colors, macro contrast, construction

Cons: Light, weight.

Opinion: I've been using it for a year now on Nikon d7100 and I feel I can make a judgment. I took it used at 500 degrees in my opinion an acceptable figure, new, at the current state of the photo market, it is not worth it. Let's get to the target. The focus for my needs is perfect as everything to do, you quickly move from the landscape to the street to the portrait in the blink of an eye. The focus is quite close and also allows you to create good closed ups or tight portraits. By comparison the 50 F1.8g that I had and sold I preferred the tight portraits this as it will be the 5mm more but the distortions that you notice using a 50 to make a face with this are very small, of course better a long focal but in extremes is fine too. Constructively and how much better you can ask but the price to pay is the heaviness, on average reflex you balance well but already on the d7100 a little unbalances forward. The thing I like the most? that as the focus changes, the focus does not change.... it will be trivial but in most economic goals this happens and I hate it... The distortions at 17mm in my opinion are very small. Autofocus quick and silent on accuracy I have to say that I have a problem, I do fine calibration but every now and then, after a little use I will stand and have to retard it. maybe it's a defect of the lens or the machine but I may have bought (used) a lens with this defect but at the moment I can't give an explanation. The sharpness according to many is not the best, but for me it is great and I use it on a machine very dense of pixels, certainly the Tokina 11-20 and the macro sigma 105 when I enlarge hold better but sincerely all this scarcity that you read around I do not find it... obvious that at 2.8 and 55mm a little loses but in my opinion always in an acceptable way. The only sore note is the lampshade... It will definitely be functional but it is as long as half the goal, for me too big so much that I often use it without.

nikon_300f4_if-edNikon 300mm f/4 AF-IF ED

Pros: Construction, bokeh, current price..

Cons: Af some chromatic aberration easily solvable in post

Opinion: Imported from Japan as a lens not very common currently in Italy.. The fuzzy is fantastic and the construction is flawless Nikon old style. I use it on Nikon D7100 and despite the dense sensor is still a sharp lens even if in my opinion from the best of SE on FF 24mpx.. The absence of stabiliser forces rapid shots 1/640 1/800 pushing the ISO at the top. As defects, being an AF-D, has the autofocus noisy and not comparable to the speed of current AF-s (although I think it depends on the machine used) on d7100 is not even very precise, although the focus limiter helps a lot... however recommended at prices below 400 euros, above is the AFS (€650) with the advantages of autofocus although probably the blur is lower.

nikon_55-300dxNikon AF-S DX 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G ED VR

Pros: Price and lightness

Cons: Little..

Opinion: Very light lens, sharp and with a very effective stabilizer that allows to shoot freehand at 300mm apsc with times of the order of 1/160 in serene tranquility (but you can go down again)... I use it on Nikon D7100 and I find it extremely versatile.. The sharpness is also valid compared to much more expensive goals... The small size allows you to take it anywhere without sacrifice.. The only flaw in my opinion is a slight change of focal focalling manually... This thing I noticed on almost all the non-professional goals I tried, so considering the price and the rest of the quality I still feel to recommend it as a lens tele tuttofare...

nikon_35dxNikon AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8 G

Pros: weight, price, sharpness, Aperture f1,8

Cons: Chromatic aberrations

Opinion: Used on Nikon D7100. I have it for a few months, I think is a good lens for portraits set... initially I had great difficulty to use it cause notable rear-focus, then I adjusted it and I started to have fun... the pros are of course the price the compactness and the lightness, while the cons are the chromatic aberrations and purple fringing that force a major job in pp.. This only happens in particular light conditions, but it gives enough discomfort... the sharpness is great (better still closing the diaphragm a bit) as well as the silent autofocus and "enough" Reactive. The only thing I do not like is the focal, on DX becomes a 52 and is difficult to use in other conditions that is not the portrait set. The minimum focus is very good to the advantage of the blurred, but nevertheless still remains a 35 not well on tight portraits. In short a 50 with the prospect of 35.. anyway for the price that has worth the money Spent.

nikon_d7100Nikon D7100

Pros: So much

Cons: Little

Opinion: First SLR bought used. I come from bridge with Microsensor. The step forward is remarkable. Let's say that as a mid-range SLR at the used level I do not know what you can expect more. Double slot convenient You can also split the work JPEG and NEF between the one and the Other tab. Wide possibility of customizing ring nuts and keys. Excellent gust, ability to use AF lenses that used to be found at decent prices. Excellent optical viewfinder Although I would have preferred a higher magnification anyway from so much information. Despite the use the battery lasts a lot in reflex mode. Autofocus system that also allows F8 to be used after software update and allows a variety of combinations with multipliers. High-magnification LiveView system to find the correct focus, satisfactory quality monitor, possibility to process the NEF directly in the room and in image display mode you have all the information you need to evaluate the photo. Excellent yield up to ISO 3200 while decreasing the dynamic range in good light conditions gets great files. 24 megapixels are so many and with appropriate objectives it returns a wonderful file, of cons with little objectives resolute from a very mixed image.... Let's say that if he had a more evolved liveview with all the information he could, for an average user like me, be the definitive machine, sure to have the focus peaking and the histogram being shot when you're on tripod and in manual focus is a great thing and with this Machine is not possible, you have to shoot and then evaluate the result. The buffer flaw I passed it with a Sandisk SD card with a write speed of 90MB/second once filled the buffer (about 10 photos 2 seconds approx) continues to snap slowing to about 2/3 frames per second more than enough for my needs. Excellent ergonomics. Video tried for whim looks good but a little backwards compared to the competition. Tropicalization not proven.

sigma_105macro_osSigma 105mm f/2.8 Macro DG OS HSM

Pros: Sharp

Cons: Overexposes (incorrect corrige) after fimware update no more (although with this lens the exposure is never very precise)

Opinion: Bought recently as the first macro target, the aperture f2.8 depends on the operating distance generally stands at f3 f2.8 only on distant subjects, in macro mode switches to f5.6. Noisy but functional stabilizer, excellent sharpness. I confirm that it tends to overexpose, it depends on the mode but generally around 1 stop (see note against). Great fact that the working distance remains unchanged not coming out the barrel that was a reason of my choice. Huge paralight and kit give two one for fullframe and one for apsc. Used sometimes for portraits and in my opinion both as a focal point and as a rendering is great just remove a contrast hair in post production. Used on nikon d7100.

nikon_50_f1-8afNikon 50mm f/1.8 AF

Pros: Sharpness, price, lightness, blurry

Cons: Screw lampshade and dial soft focus sometimes chromatic aberrations

Opinion: Priced at less than 100 euros per used you have a very sharp lens from f5.6 and up , very nice blurred to open diaphragms, very light and constructively resistant. Small lightweight and very malleable in use. It is used around 80 100 euros and at that price I do not think you can find better. The only real flaw is that it is too soft at full opening. My specimen suffers a bit of front focus but on nikon d7100 you can solve it in the machine with fine adjustment.

nikon_24_f2-8dNikon AF 24mm f/2.8 D

Pros: Price, lightness, focal

Cons: Poor sharpness on aps-c

Opinion: Bought as a fixed lens handyman. It performs its role very well, light and precise and with a car autofocus fast enough while noisy. Perfect on aps-c as a street target, in my opinion it has only little solvency but I used it on nikon d7100 so I would recommend it for a fullframe or for sensors with a few megapixels. Only for semi-pro bodies as it has no lens autofocus.

manfrotto_compact_actionManfrotto Compact Action

Pros: Light weight, easy use, cost.

Cons: Doubts about the durability rotella..non suitable for heavy bodies + objectives and loss of stability in vertical use.

Opinion: It costs little and is comfortable to use. ideal for amateurs with light bodies, excellent blocking for video function, in the vertical use is not very stable. The wheel locks are not very reliable and accurate, but gains the simplicity of use. I have serious doubts about the duration, the structure is solid but the roller handle seems fragile. I'll see.

fujifilm_finepix_s1Fujifilm FinePix S1

Pros: Zoom, articulated screen, WiFi, ergonomics, weight, tropicalization.

Cons: Slow Autofocus, laborious menu commands, noticeable noise by raising the ISO, in raw limited functions.

Opinion: Bought it as the first and only camera so I can't make comparisons. It allows you to tackle all the photographic genres and gradually become familiar with the manual controls. the purchase; With 450 euros (now much less) I have a camera full of lens 24-1200mm for a beginner like me perfect. After about a couple of years I have no technical problem found. If there is good light or in static subjects come out great photos, the main problem for me is the slowness of autofocus that sometimes fails. However, with a bridge with a sensor 1/2.3 "I don't think you can ask for more. In conclusion I judge a great handyman ideal in travel.
