The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Manfrotto 410 Pros: Excellent construction. High precision in micrometric movements. Strong. Cons: Nobody. Opinion: So many define it as heavy. Of course it is. Construction, robustness and precision, they don't get along lightly, I think. Besides, when you buy it you have to put into account the weight. Use on a tripod for almost 4 kg (without head), thus reaching a total of 5kg. Stellar stability and precision; You can sit on it. Aspects that, in macro, I think are fundamental. The micro movements are rather fluid and extremely precise. I adapted it to the ARCA Swiss standard by means of an adapter (Sirui MP-20) to be screwed directly onto the 410 PL plate, taken on Amazon at a cost of €39. Very suitable for heavy equipment. Highly recommended head. sent on November 02, 2018 |
 | Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD G2 Pros: Construction, excellent and solid lens hood, excellent stabilizer, brightness, cost interesting for the type of optics, tropicalization, crisp. Cons: Nobody. Opinion: had previously the G1. This G2 does not distort the excellent characteristics of the predecessor, but improves the AF, stabilization and, in my opinion, is slightly sharper (comparison made to equal settings in the room). I read several users complaining about front/back focus, but honestly I don't see any presence on my specimen. Will I be lucky with the third party optics? I've never had such problems. Tried both on D4 and on D7200 and I have to say that the upgrade satisfied me. The construction is excellent, important dimensions with a large front lens of 82mm and have greatly improved the attack of the Lens hood, which was not a great deal on G1, as a little hard to engage and remove. On this G2, the lens hood is screw-on with a solid "clack" and is equipped with a release key that allows it to be disassembled softly. To those who say that it settles dust on the lens, I answer that my optics protect them, all, with filters Hoya HD Protector. Either as a matter of safety, either to avoid accumulations of dust or, worse, scratches. So this is an aspect that I would not consider a negativity intrinsic to the lens. Great at TA, fantastic closed one stop. What else to say except that I would buy it again 1000 times. Rated 10. sent on October 02, 2018 |
 | Manfrotto 055 X PROB Pros: Construction, extremely stable, reversible column (great for macros ), lowers at ground level. Cons: Nobody Opinion: Beautiful tripod. I do not lament for weight and size (also because I have other tripods ) because I was looking for it precisely for this, since it has to hold certain weights (between reflex and optics ). Certainly not suitable to carry it around all day, but in macro (where the reversible column is a great added value ) it is absolutely excellent. I think he's going to keep me company for a long time. I'm thinking of buying a second one, having a 3-way manfrotto head in the drawer. Very recommended. sent on September 19, 2018 |
 | Tokina AT-X Pro 16-50mm f/2.8 DX Pros: Great sharpness, high-quality construction, 2.8 opening, tropicalized. 77 mm front lens. Cons: Difficult to find. The AF is not lightning, but still great. Opinion: Very but very well built lens, with the total absence of plasticaccia typical of many lenses, therefore, it follows a certain weight. Fluid ring nuts and fast and smooth AF switching. Aperture 2.8 on all focal lengths, even if it becomes crisp closed by F4. Tropicalized and very difficult to find, but if you found it, I highly recommend the purchase. I use it as a handyman to "read" Uscitine on my second body DX Nikon D7200, being the equivalent of a 24 70 on FF. They make a very nice couple. Objective not very heavy, at least compared to others I use on FF. In short, an excellent lens, with which I have also made beautiful portraits at 50 mm. Sin was born only for the reduced format.

 | Tamron 15-30mm f/2.8 VC USD Pros: Excellent construction. Stabilized. f 2.8. Exceptional sharpness. Extraordinary AF. Cons: A bit (obviously) heavy. Impossibility to mount screw filters. Opinion: Received today and tried in night shots. Impressive, really. It has exceptional clarity. Built impeccably and with a very efficient stabilizer. It's really huge, showing all its bulk despite being mounted on a D4. But it makes us forgive, as it repays with its enormous potential. I can not wait to try astrophotography with this gem. It is a lens that should not be missing in an FF kit. Complimentoni to Tamron for these excellences. I will squeeze it during the weekend in diurnal shots.rn10 and praise. sent on March 09, 2018 |
 | Nikon D4 Pros: Body Pro. High ISO resistance. Ergonomics and controls. Great customization. Extreme sharpness of the files. illuminated commands. Opening of the Magnificent shadows. AF at the top with a flurry of fear. Tropical. Sensor F A V or L or S O. Cons: Not having had it before. Opinion: What a machine...... a marvel. The controls, many, allow a great customization. The magnesium body is a fable to hold in the hand and has the Kevlar shutter. It has a crazy shadow recovery, the even great 7200, which I own as a second body, fails to make those recoveries. Produces raw detailed and very workable files. A barrage of fear, a machine gun, with a exceptional buffer. Infallible AF, of the highest qualitative level. Battery very large, but rather expensive, which allows an infinity of shots. The weight? Well, it's a reflex pro, of course there is, but for how it reciprocates, it would not matter to me, even if it weighed the double (small mole partly solved, buying a padded shoulder strap of the Manfrotto on Amazon). Beautiful The gem of the illuminated commands. The sensor? Crazy, a lighthouse in the dark, churns out files with a wonderful depth, almost three-dimensional. Shooting at 6400 ISO without noise is a very nice satisfaction. Also, it's tropicalised. I mean.... Wow!!!!!!!!!!! sent on November 12, 2017 |
 | Tamron 24-70mm f/2.8 Di VC USD Pros: Construction, sharpness, excellent stabilizer, tropicalized. Lock button on barrel. Cons: Lens not at eye level. Opinion: The lens has exceptional sharpness. It has an excessive weight and the stabilizer works flawlessly. You want to never remove it from the car body. I only do it to mount a 70 200. It has an important frontal diameter (82 mm), therefore it requires a generously sized protective filter (I have mounted a Hoya HD protector for a cost of around 60 € and therefore not forbidden). Closing a couple of stops, from the top of the self, even if at all opening it does not disappoint. What to say, happy to own it. Vote 10 and praise. sent on October 04, 2017 |
 | Genesis BH-40 Pros: Toughness, quality/price ratio, weight borne. Warranty 6 years. Cons: Nisba, New Opinion: The mount on a manfrotto tripod 055. What about it? An exceptional head to say the least. If manfrotto (or other high-sounding names) were branded, it would cost so much more. Thank you Genesis for producing so much quality at such a low price. Only by buying it, one realizes how much these few words take shape. We load important weights (D4 and various optical weights) and does not make a fold. In addition, it is guaranteed for 6 years !!!!!!! Strange. Rating : 10 and praise. sent on October 03, 2017 |
 | Genesis A3 KIT Pros: Unreachable price/quality ratio. Excellent and rather elegant materials (which does not hurt). Guaranteed for 6 years. It can also be used as a monopod, unscrewing a leg. Cons: Nobody. Opinion: Having another 3 tripod, bigger and heavier, I can say that this is very but very well done. Light and easily transportable, but at the same time very solid and with a head (the BH 34) that has a capacity of 12 kg. I also happen to load a D4 with various optics, sometimes even a 150 600 and does not make a fold. It is also elegant as is its carrying bag, which I believe does not dispace anyone.. It reaches a remarkable height and being high 1.88 I find myself very well. You can disassemble the center column to flex the legs at ground level, very useful feature in macro. The most blazoned competition would sell it to more than double the price. It has 6 years warranty. What more can you want? I would buy it again 1000 times. Loved. RATING: 10 and praise. sent on September 29, 2017 |
 | Genesis BH-34 Pros: Solid, reliable and well built. Capacity 15 Kg. Cons: Nobody Opinion: Taken on Amazon the Genesis A3 tripod that has this head included. All at €119. What about, a magnificent product to say the least. Genesis produces Excellencies at very, very competitive prices. I also own the elder sister BH 40, on a second tripod, which has a capacity of 30 kg. You can load any equipment and it doesn't make a fold. They are high quality products and highly recommended. Competition offers much less to so much more. The Genesis products are polish and their commercial policy is to produce high quality at affordable prices, so as to conquer large market slices. Good for those who buy. Vote 10 and praise. sent on September 28, 2017 |
 | Manfrotto 808 RC4 Pros: Precision in travel, solid as a rock, Affidabilissima Cons: A little heavy and cumbersome. Opinion: A 3-way, tough, but very tough, solid and Affidabilissima head. We load a d7200 with battery grip and Sigma 150 600, for a total of 3 Kg, and does not move a mm. The use for macro and, while not having the precision of a rack head, for me is perfect. Sure, it is a bit heavy and must be paired with a very solid tripod (use with a APGL 4, perfect coupled ravels). Not fit to be taken to walk jackets ', in my case, between head and tripod we arrive at almost 5kg. For this last use, I use a second carbon tripod. Satisfied. sent on August 28, 2017 |
 | Tokina AT-X 11-20mm f/2.8 PRO DX Pros: Fixed focal on the whole excursion, very sharp and definite, excellent construction. Cons: Only the AF-MF switching, in pure Tokina style Opinion: Great lens, very sharp, very good definition and well built. Sure, if instead of that strange mechanism of switching AF-MF (nothing complicated, just take a little ' hand) they had put a simple switch button, it would have been perfect. It weighs the right. You get excellent results without too much pp. The filters for this lens are 82mm and, the good ones, are costosetti. I have not seen problems related to flare. To have in your outfit. Loved. sent on July 10, 2017 |
 | Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM Pros: 2.8 fixed, perfect hike on dx, well built and excellent stabilizer. Extreme sharpness even in TA. VERY lending AF. Cons: No one but the very difficult find. Opinion: Optical S U P E R B A, produced ( who knows why ) in a few examples and only for international markets, excluding Italy. It's a real pleasure to use it, being sharp even at TA. Weight and size? Sure, they get a little bit feel but it's a fixed-opening, stabilized luminous zoom, so it couldn't be any different. Compared to Sigma art 50 100 1.8, that I owned and sold to buy this, I prefer it definitely because of the greater focal excursion (it's the corresponding of a 70 200 on FF, i.e. a 75 225 on DX and therefore perfect, jackets' a 70 200 on DX would be too long, at least at the slightest focal ), greater clarity and for the presence of the stabilizer. No f/b focus issues. Also, looking at user scores here on Juza, it has a 9.7 versus 9.6 of "his maesta' Nikon 70 200 FL ", 9.5 of the 70 200 VR II and the 9.3 of the VR I, which cost a financial maneuver, from new. In short, there are many praises and no complaints. To have absolutely, if you have the luck (and it takes a lot) to find it. sent on July 08, 2017 |
 | Sigma 17-50mm f/2.8 EX DC OS HSM Pros: Obviously the value for money, excellent sharpness, not excessive weight, constant opening 2.8 on the whole range of focals. Cons: Only for apsc. Opinion: I find it to be a very valid lens, specially designed for apsc and bears the acronym EX (acronym that names the a-side optics A ). From what I have read around, in comparison with the much-declared 17 55 Nikon, it is, in certain circumstances, even higher than the latter. The lampshade attack a little slow? Yes, a microscopic little game, but they are trifles. Diaphragm at 3.5-4 becomes the classic blade. The blurred is very good. Wide front lens of 77 mm, to be protected, as I did, with a filter Hoya hd PROTECTOR (cost just under 50 degrees ). sent on July 07, 2017 |
 | Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM C Pros: AF very fast, quite manageable, well built. Excellent stabilizer and excellent sharpness. Cons: Only little details: lens cap a bit poor and bracket a little curtain. Opinion: Very good optics and well built. The weight is not excessive, about 2 kg, but we talk about a supertele, so the weight is obvious that there is. After the 400 mm it is advisable to use a tripod or, at least, a monopod since with the whole zoom is very difficult to use freehand. It is a lens that I really like and I highly recommend. Someone complains about the little length of the bracket, but for me it is not a problem, jackets ' proceeded to buy a longer one on Amazon. Closed at f 8-9, it returns high quality shots even at 600mm. Too bad for the lens cap, only out of tune, since quality does not live up to the optics. I use it on both FF and DX. I recommend giving a reading to the comparative test between the C version and the one S made by Improvephotography.com (just go on the internet and look for "Sigma 150 600 C vs Sigma 150 600 S"). This test is pretty interesting. sent on April 08, 2017 |
 | Nikon D7200 Pros: Great customization, semi-pro body, high ISO seal. Menu is very rich. Time of SCATTO1/8000, which with light optics is a great added value. Professional-level AF. Very high sensitivity. Cons: Nobody! Opinion: It is a lady reflex, with demanding sensor, to accompany with quality optics. The ISO estate is amazing to be a DX (in my gallery, there is a photo taken in Matera, at dusk at 4000 ISO). With heavy optics I recommend the use of the battery grip, also because of the best shutter ergonomics that offers this very useful accessory, as well as the possibility to use 2 batteries, thus increasing the autonomy. It has a lot of features and a bunch of customizations. It is a very versatile machine, usable in any field (street, macro, birdlife, Landscape, portrait) and never disappoints. Use with Lexar Professional 1000x cards, with which the gust is pretty good. The Expeed 4 processor makes it very fast. I can't imagine what to ask for more than a reflex. The Straconsiglio. Vote 10 and praise. sent on December 12, 2016 |
 | Sigma 50-100mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art Pros: Sturdiness, brightness. Cons: Limited Excursion. (severe) stabilization Deficiency. Not tropicalized. Very delicate Coating. Weight (weighs as much as a 70 200). 82 mm Filter Diameter (Costosetti). Opinion: Excellent Optics. That has a certain weight (which is not a little) I think is logical, given the construction and the number of lenses. The ring nuts have an exceptional fluidity. To Be used especially for portraiture, it returns excellent images. Unfortunately the lack of stabilization is felt, especially because of its weight: shake lurking. You Have to be very careful in handling it because it is very delicate. sent on November 17, 2016 |
 | Sigma 18-35mm f/1.8 DC HSM Art Pros: Luminosity, construction, smoothness of the rings. Cons: Exit too short. Opinion: Used on the Nikon d7200, it's a great lens. Returns sharp shots already at TA. Weight? There is, like all very bright lenses, not a handicap. The materials used are excellent, the rings flow smoothly. For a good balance, you should have a body that weighs the weight, so it is advisable to purchase a battery grip. sent on October 19, 2016 |
 | Sigma 17-70mm f/2.8-4 DC OS HSM Macro C Pros: Brightness, not very heavy, well built, compact and light enough. Cons: Nothing Opinion: Excellent lens, from good performance on my Nikon d7200, well-proportioned with the machine. There are no problems of any nature (front-back focus and company to Trump). The stabilizer works very well and also allows you to make discreet shots even in macro. It ' true that the attachment of the lens cap, with hood mounted, is a little ' difficult, but I can safely fly over this trifle, seen the shots that it returns. What about......... I highly recommend the purchase. sent on May 10, 2016 |
 | Nikon AF-S DX 55-300mm f/4.5-5.6 G ED VR Pros: weight, high output up to 250mm Cons: a little dark, but nothing shocking Opinion: I was torn between this and the tamron 70,300 vc. In the end I bought the nikon, also because 'the Tamron weighs 200 grams. in piu 'being compatible for ff. Before the 'purchase I tried them both, and I have to say that equal' and focal settings, I have not found substantial differences.
