The following opinions have been automatically translated with Microsoft Translator. | Olympus OM-D E-M1 II Pros: Ergononia, image quality, excellent Cons: No defects at the moment Opinion: I avoid the technical part of the product because others have already done it before me. I will limit myself to saying my impressions in a simple, down-to-earth way... Recently purchased, it was a model that I wanted to buy a few years ago. It's not my first Olympus, in fact I have too many! What I noticed immediately is the difference in size and structure compared to the EM1 first version that I love and still use with satisfaction. This version instead, combined with the 1240 pro, I find that it is perfect, balanced and not too heavy, certainly with the shoulder strap hanging around the neck, after a while I feel the weight but it does not bother me like the Nikon that I have heavy as irons! The battery is much bigger than the EM1 first version and in my opinion, despite this, it lasts less, perhaps because of the infinite functions available. Not that there is an abyss of difference between the Em1 battery and the EM1 MKII battery, but I noticed it a little. I solved the doubt of running out of battery if I'm working, ops photographing, buying a Patona Protect V1 battery. As I said, combined with the 12-40 pro, it churns out beautiful photographs that hardly need to be further processed. Let's say that in principle, all Olympus have this ability not to need to be post-produced, unless one is a donkey and totally wrong settings during shooting. I bought it on Amazon on the occasion of an interesting discount and it was worth it. Now there are other versions available since she came out in 2016, however in my opinion, she is still a machine that knows her business and has nothing to envy to those after or even to other brands. I recommend it with your eyes closed! sent on July 08, 2023 |
 | Panasonic Lumix G 20mm f/1.7 ASPH Pros: Small size, lightweight, well built, sharpness Cons: AF slightly noisy and not lightning fast but perfectly fine! 100% recommended optics Opinion: I bought a couple of days ago this used lens but in excellent condition, it looks new, complete with caps. The first thing I noticed is the lightness and size. really comfortable. I have grafted this lens to an Olympus Em10 first silver version and makes its beautiful visual figure: it looks like an analog SLR of a past time. The autofocus I confirm that it is not lightning: I did some tests with dogs that are moving subjects, when it focuses, now the dog has moved. However, if you have to take different photos, with subjects not too fast in movement, the photos are fine. From the first images taken, I immediately understood that it is an excellent lens, which makes you take excellent photographs. At TA (f 1.7), it creates sharp images in the center and as you look towards the outside of the image, you will notice a slight softness completely normal, understandable and above all real. The detachment of the planes from the subject in focus, is very beautiful, typical of lenses with very open diaphragm. I followed and kept an eye on this lens for a long time between photos, user impressions and the price on the second-hand market. I managed to find a practically new specimen at 150 euros shipped. Satisfied with my purchase, recommended to all, absolutely to have in your kit micro four thirds. Finally there is the second version on the market, from what I could understand, apart from the different external coloring and the decidedly higher price, there are no substantial differences. sent on June 30, 2023 |
 | Xiaomi 12 Pro Pros: Battery charger. Cons: Oversized, photo gallery, silent mode or ringtone Opinion: Purchased a couple of months ago to replace my Huawei P20 PRO arrived almost at the end because of the various updates that after about 4 years of use, you are almost forced to change if you want a product quick to use. First thing noticed are the dimensions: excessive compared to the Huawei! Secondly, in the box they did not deign to put a pair of earphones. Okay, most people, use wifi headphones, but given the purchase price, I would have liked them to be there, as for, coincidentally, in the Huawei package. Positive note for sure is the charger, ultra-fast but we hope that with time it does not affect the performance of the battery. Ringtones, many but many to download because they are not present. One thing I didn't like is the ringtone or vibration mode... The silent does not exist! The gallery if you select a photo and try to edit it, first you have to download the filters and second thing, compared to the Huawei that you could preview on the photo the filter applied, on this Xiaomi you cannot: you have to select it and then if you do not like to continue to choose cin those available. Nothing serious, you remedy, you get used to it but the point is if you are used in a certain way "comfortable to work" and you have to get used to it in a worse way ... Things don't always suit you. The camera beware! They say from 50mp... but only if we go into shooting options and select 50, otherwise it shoots at a lower resolution... Apart from that there would be a speech to be made about all these megapixels that sponsor on smartphones that in reality the quality is quite another thing. It is sold as a PRO, but in my opinion the Huawei PRO I used before was better than this Xiaomi. Of course if I hadn't tried the Huawei, I would say that this smartphone is perfect... but excuse me, I just can't! sent on November 06, 2022 |
 | Samyang 50mm f/1.2 Pros: Solid construction, quality material. Sliding and fluid bezel. Precise, perfect diaphragm ring. Sharpness, colors, etc... Cons: Nobody, maybe the weight but not even that much... perhaps the fact that it is a manual lens? Then don't buy it... Opinion: Bought used on RCEfoto in conditions like new at an attractive price. Manual lens that amazed me for build quality and especially for the photographic files obtained. It is not heavy. I grafted it to my Olympus Em10... makes a good impression. The photos are gorgeous, harmonious. The detachment of the floors is impressive if you use a very open diaphragm. Addictive! This lens is intended for a person who is not in a hurry to take pictures due to the total absence of automatisms. Of course, you have to be a little capable and patient especially the first few times you use manual lenses. For me it is not a problem because I started photographing with rolls a long time ago, when there were no digital shapes ... so with a manual lens I am comfortable. I recommend it to all those who want to have a good lens in their hands for the realization of their shots ... if you want there are other less expensive manual lenses, but believe me, this Samyang lens, is worth all the money required... sent on May 26, 2022 |
 | Canon 30D Pros: Price of the used. Solid structure. Infinite battery. Recommended. Cons: The limits of the product when compared with modern SLRs. Opinion: Bought on Ebay at a really small price, with very few photo shoots and kept very well. It was a pleasant discovery! For work I use two different brands and Canon has always been put aside although it is a high quality brand. At the reflex I added a cheap lens to which I will review, brand Yongnuo. What I liked most about this reflex, are the colors that even in raw, do not need special changes if you set custom parameters in the machine. A few AF points, but they do not create problems for me, indeed sometimes I prefer situations of this kind. Of course if we take into account the fact that she is 13 years old and we compare her to the most modern, something different or missing, you will notice. Nevertheless, you can get very beautiful, interesting, clean images, etc... just pay close attention to its use. This talk is valid for both a vintage reflex and a last-minute reflex! What I always say, especially to my clients, is not so much the arnese that one has but how it is used. I will try, as soon as I can, to upload more photographic examples with this reflex. I recommend it as a purchase and as a staple if you are looking for a valid product for your photographs. I got to see in the gallery a lot of images taken with great Canon lenses. Really a great machine that can give a lot of satisfaction. sent on July 09, 2019 |
 | Huawei P20 Pro Pros: Sturdy but delicate structure. Top finishes. Good battery. A cover is included in the package. Very valid photographs to be a smartphone. Recommended. Cons: Size can be a problem. Opinion: I have been using this smartphone for almost a year with great satisfaction. Stable operating system, never a problem, always updated (internal memory 128 Gb, there is plenty of space!). The photos are nice even in low light conditions. You can always turn on the flash, even if I find it has times it is a bit too bright. The rest is not a real camera... I printed the photos in A4 format and the result was satisfactory. From a professional point of view, I can tell you that it does not do these amazing photos, as it was widely, sponsored, during the advertising campaign... For sure the photos taken are respectable and if you lend a little attention you can also create some interesting image. Maybe the colors are a bit saturated, but it's okay... With a slight change in the gallery, you get an optimum result. The battery amazed me. For the intense use that I do, I can say that it lasts about two days and the recharge is very fast. Currently you can buy at a more humane but always challenging price. I am opposed to spending important figures for a smartphone... So much so that this was given to me! I certainly wouldn't have spent all those pennies... If you do not have problems and you like smartphones evolved, this Huawei makes his dirty figure... Now with the story of Trump, etc... Maybe you can buy at an even lower price, you have to see how it will end with the updates I currently keep it and from what I could read, Google will continue to release updates to this template. sent on June 07, 2019 |
 | Huawei P20 Lite Pros: Light despite the size. Very elegant, very good finishes. The blue color version is spectacular. Very low price compared to other smartphones. Cons: At the moment I do not see against I reserve to edit the review, if I hit something. Opinion: Received as a present for a couple of days. I am a former Iphone owner, the last was the version 6 that alas, Cadendomi has cracked the glass... Apart from this incident of path that can happen to anyone and with any smartphone, the Iphone 6 was beginning to be a little ' outdated and slow. For a long time I kept an eye on Huawei and also Honor. I must say that at sight, looking at them, they are very beautiful. Actually I wanted to buy the Huawei P8 Lite 2017 that my partner uses and is well located... Then came the P20 Lite. This smartphone is big, light and takes the best pictures of my iphone6. I noticed that the 4g on this device has a better reception and even the data exchange is faster than my iphone6. I tried to take some pictures that I will upload here. As I discover or scatter interesting images, I will publish them. At the moment, I'm fine and I recommend the purchase. sent on May 19, 2018 |
 | Olympus OM-D E-M10 II Pros: Reduced size, silent shooting, as with Olympus tradition, a perfect body! Cons: Not even one! Opinion: Bought a few days, but keep an eye out for a lot of time! Comfortable Amazon's competitive price, I could not resist and I did the gift. What to say! Nothing to envy with the older sister EM1, in some ways I prefer her. I have equipped it with the 17mm Zuiko and the coupling is great. Small size, not too noticeable, ideal for making street: I love it already! As always Olympus is a guarantee: well-spent money and photos are perfect. Of course you also have to be able to take pictures! It is not enough to have good equipment. If you want to buy it, I can do nothing but recommend it ... battery ok, nothing wrong. sent on August 07, 2017 |
 | Nikon AF-S 105mm f/1.4 E ED Pros: Brightness, sharpness, robust design, lens hood Cons: Nobody. Opinion: I got to try this wonderful lens for a series of portraits in a not very bright room. Due to its brightness, I was able to take many pictures without flash. I used it on my D750 and the result: AF speed, brightness, shots TA have shown me that the new 105 is a great Nikkor lens. At this point it may come to doubt the choice between this lens and "85 f1.4" ... from an economic point of view, does the second choice, but if you try that little bit extra, you can opt for the 105 .rnDa a technical point of view, although it is not an expert, I find that they are quite similar the two lenses. Surely spending to deal with both the 105 and for "85" is considerable, but if you want to get good results, you have to deal with the bill! He rnForse the only flaw, after the price of 105 could be the weight: two pounds after a while 'is felt; for me is not a problem I'm used to bazooka birdlife ... rnComprarlo or not to buy it? But it is obvious: be bought absolutely! sent on September 20, 2016 |
 | Nikon AF-S 50mm f/1.8 G Pros: Quality, cheap, sharpness. Cons: Nobody Opinion: Ok ... you are missing the 50cc? There it is! It's cheap, it allows you to create beautiful photos, perfect as long as you are good with the settings as with any lens you use! Photos must be imagined, developed in the mind and perhaps taken ... you tell me I'm wrong? Maybe ... exceptional rnLente, Aperture 1.8, blurry soft, you get some nice bokeh, used almost exclusively for portrait. Af fast. Perhaps the only fault, then there could be the plastic structure. However that's okay because it's solid, has the lens hood and place it where the cloth bag when not in use. What do you want? sent on August 24, 2016 |
 | Nikon D5300 Pros: compact and solid structure. Controls arranged in a similar way to the D5200 / 5100 etc ... wifi, gps. image quality, faster AF, and more Cons: Nothing... Opinion: younger sister of D5500 but with a few differences. The leap in quality by buying the D5300, the D5200 I noticed going from whom I respect a lot and known primarily an abyss from the D5100. When people ask me a valid reflex to start, etc ... I always suggest this! True, the market there are other cheaper models but why not start right away with a valuable product? I use it almost always coupled to the Sigma 105 macro. If you look at the macro picture in my gallery, there is no need to add altro.rnLa SLR has wifi and gps really do not use. 39 AF points are really comfortable. The sensor is fast, there is articulated monitor and the macro is really convenient. What about ... buy it! sent on August 24, 2016 |
 | Nikon D750 Pros: Quality of lofty files, light body, simple menu as usual Nikon. Cons: At the moment no. Opinion: Using this "monster" for about two months and almost always with the 50cc, lens super reliable and really amazing. At first I was undecided between this and the D810, but some doubt was caused more by fear of stumbling into a "flawed" model. When in doubt, I focused on the Nikon version and the purchased product is perfect. solid, lightweight body, almost amazed when compared to the D500 or D7100. It is a perfect Full Frame and the 50cc Nikon me out amazing results, rich in detail, even perfect zooming. The price is not cheap but even prohibitive: 2200 eurini required for 4 years Nikon warranty, they are worth to buy it. One can also find less online: matter of taste. Abbinateci a good SD Lexar 1000X and you will see that speed when scattae is instacabile, a monster! Yes just like this. Also I use APSC and Full Mirrorless but there is no history! rnConsigliata to those who want to approach the universe FF. sent on August 24, 2016 |
 | Olympus M.Zuiko 17mm f/1.8 Pros: Sharpness, fast AF, small size, fine finishes, metal, iperfocale Cons: Nobody!!!! Opinion: I bought this lens recently. I was torn between this model and the previous one f2.8 pancake. I had no more doubts soon as I could compare them closely in my local store. What to say! Spectacular. EM1 combined with the silver body and black lens, it seems that historical '70s: the OM1 ... rnUna lens precise and valid street. Wanting can also be used for portraits, etc ... the AF is lightning. Wanting for the nostalgic like me, you can act on the ring and use the lens manually, even in iperfocale !!! I'm very happy with this purchase and really recommend it to everyone. sent on June 14, 2016 |
 | Sigma 50mm f/2.8 EX DG Macro Pros: Lightweight, comfortable, crisp Cons: uncomfortable lens cap to be inserted with a lens inserted. Opinion: I recently purchased this lens, suggested by a person of the Forum. Amazing! I'm very happy for two reasons: it is a convenient 50cc to keep in your bag and you may need to take good macro. Certainly it will not be the top macro but his work does it well! Difficult to find in used. I was lucky enough to find one in good condition, like new. I recommend it to all who are looking for a 50cc valid, robust and macro. In my gallery there are three examples of macro snapped in flowers after the rain. If you want, let us jump.

 | Nikon D50 Pros: robust body, dual display engine Af Cons: He has his years ... Opinion: I have a weakness for this reflex is old ... but to me a great, great reflex that I left my heart and that I keep carefully. My totaled more than 450 thousand shots and has never given me any problems. Of course, today the little use because I believe that it came to the limit. You deserve the rest! There are other born after her to do his duty. It used for a long time with a nice Nikkor 70-210 ... old, old even he that even today, with its limitations does not disappoint. Until some time ago, I used the D50 with the M42 adapters and I can guarantee that I made the Bokeh shots clearly superior to newer SLR. Online can still be found and prices are good. Do not forget that this reflex has its years and you can not expect that much, but if you need a "school ship", you can start here. sent on March 23, 2016 |
 | Tokina AT-X Pro 11-16mm f/2.8 DX II Pros: A nice boulder, not easy to tame but that returns you great satisfaction Cons: Flare (or you live there, or shooting point changes!) Opinion: Beautiful! Suffice to say that to buy it! I use it for some months and I trust you that at the beginning I struggled a bit '. presonale Council, used a diaphragm from 5.6 onwards. A 2.8 if you are in front of a beautiful view and there is a good lighting, you will lose the depth. Then close the aperture and shoot, or taken to 2.8 and then the same picture to F8 ... When you take confidence with the Toky, you will see that picture! However, buy it, buy it because it's worth it! It shot up to wear you ...!

 | Olympus M.Zuiko Digital 45mm f/1.8 Pros: Lightness, quality, small Cons: Nobody Opinion: I took me several months to convince me to buy this lens. I had known before! Wonderful. Color, definition, sharpness ... there is everything! Do not do as I do! If you have half a mind to buy it, do it immediately because it is a wonderful lens! What struck me, in addition to the lens, it is the packaging. Olympus as always, looks at every detail with the utmost seriousness. I always had a soft spot for this brand and I must say that in 30 years their products are always the top for me. very valid products. sent on March 16, 2016 |
