nikon_z24-120_f4Nikon Z 24-120mm f/4 S

Pros: Weight, good build quality, focal range, value for money.

Cons: Extension of the optical body by increasing the focal length

Opinion: I recently acquired this lens as a handyman reasoning on the focal range and on the really irrelevant weight for day trips. I decided to sell my 24-70 f/2.8S practically never used (very few shots) because heavy. Well after a couple of outings in cities of art I can say that this lens is worth a lot for two reasons: the wide focal range that allows you to always find the shot (the 24-70 is short in this sense) and a great yield in terms of sharpness already starting from the full aperture at f / 4. There is no need to close beyond f/8 for landscape friends. I highly recommend it: practical, lightweight, well built, with flare resistance, wide focal range and great sharpness. Personally I reward him with a nice 10.

nikon_z35_f1-8sNikon Z 35mm f/1.8 S

Pros: Lightness, incisiveness, speed of focus.

Cons: Price (if Nital)

Opinion: It's a really valuable all-rounder lens. In paired with the Z7 it gives images of high sharpness, already starting from the open diaphragms; It makes it almost useless to close over 5.6, so it eliminates the diffraction problem and allows smooth shots in difficult light conditions. Great because of its reduced weight, it can accompany our day without being heard. I have owned the Nikkor 35 mm in the past. f/1.4 G (of which I keep a good memory) but I can safely say that this 35 mm Z series equals it in all weighing half and being much sharper on the margins. 10 and praise to Nikon.

nikon_z24-70_f2-8sNikon Z 24-70mm f/2.8 S

Pros: Outstanding edge-to-edge sharpness, small footprint, weight

Cons: Price

Opinion: Taken recently, I'm using it with the Z7. The very first impression is the yield that is exceptional as sharpness from edge to edge. The colors are faithful, the shadows are not closed and the contrast balanced; 24 mm linear distortion. focal length is very low. I have owned in my life both the Nikkor 24-70 f/2.8 G and the Nikkor 24-70 f/2.8 E ED Vr, but this if you literally eat them both for global yield and handling. The third dial near the bayonet that can be used as a diaphragm mode or as a change of under/overexposure along with the small Oled display are the icing on a cake that is worth a nice 10 and praise. Of course Nikon gets paid handsomely ... even too much ... but this lens will always be in the bag whatever themed output you make.

nikon_14-24_f2-8Nikon AF-S 14-24mm f/2.8 G ED

Pros: Build Quality

Cons: Front lens delicate and exposed... bad resistance to backlight... lack of incisiveness (available with post-production)... weight and cost!!!

Opinion: I have owned this lens for a few months... but I sold it almost immediately to replace it with fixed wide angles of the Zeiss milvus ZF series. 2 (15 and 21 mm). There is no comparison as a global surrender, as a micro-contrast, as a resistance to backlight, as fidelity colors and tonal transitions: win the Zeiss a man low!!! Basically this is the black sheep of the Nikon f/2.8 zoom triad. It's an outdated lens: it would serve a sound redesign to make it contemporary. But now Nikon will allocate resources and development to the 14-24 f/2.8 Attack for mirrorless use, because that's the future.

nikon_d5Nikon D5

Pros: Construction, tropicalization, autonomy, focusing, general sensor yield, white balance, high ISO yield.

Cons: Weight

Opinion: I sold the old D700 and the D4s and bought the D5 alongside the D810. I received the D850 ... but at the last moment I decided not to pick it up and buy the D5 instead. I think the choice was more than right (having the D810). This is an exceptional machine with which you take home the shot always, everywhere, with all weather conditions, and especially "freehand" and not slaves of the tripod. The files are relatively light, the white balance superbly apt, the engagement of focus never goes into crisis even to want it (but I use it only with the 70-200 FL AND ED .... having sold almost all the optics Nikon I had in the Zeiss Milvus series manual with superb performance), the battery is endless allowing thousands of shots. I think if Nikon decides for the only sensible upgrade, that is a D5 with 24 mpxl ... to increase the resolution in a bit ... there will be for many years. The price to pay is the weight, but one really remains speechless when one perceives how he worksthis corpomacchina in all its innumerable aspects. Lifting and mirror return do not feel absolutely, confirming a balance and ergonomics of use without equal in the photographic panorama.rnNon is my genre, but for those who take action shots the gust annihilates. You do not need anything else.

sirui_et2204Sirui ET-2204

Pros: Very light, of excellent craftsmanship, great quality of materials, very well transportable on the back of the backpack once closed tipping the legs 180 degrees.

Cons: Absolutely none. It's worth the expense and really grifies a lot in the use. Six !!! years of !!! warranty

Opinion: I bought this tripod to replace the previous Manfrotto 055 XABPro because I wanted to be able to take advantage of a great stability coupled with lightness and easy transportability. Well I think it's one of the best purchases ever made in recent years. The invoice is valuable (8 layers of carbon superimposed, beautiful to see, they constitute the supporting structure). Quick dropouts for stretching and components of perfectly turned magnesium joint with satin finish work. Rotateable rubber feet to let out steel nails that allow a noticeable grip on the ground. Standard central column and second short column for the supplied macrophotography. Stabilization weight hook inserted into the column itself, transport bag and maintenance toolcomplete the whole thing. In my opinion, a small work of art. The manufacturer issues a 6-year warranty, and my seller tells me of a customer who has been paid a tripod in place of his badly damaged as a result of the fall: this is proverbial seriousness on the part of Sirui. I suggest pairing it with K-30X spherical head to optimize an extraordinarily beautiful and effective choice. This small head is able to support up to 30 kg of weight. I can say that the paired D810 is 300 mm. f/2.8 loaned to me by trusted friend has churned out me files absolutely free of micromove even with highly risky exposure times (between 1 sec. and 1/30 sec.). Very small closed space allows it to be carried with a backpack. Over-recommended !!!

zeiss_milvus15_f2-8Zeiss Milvus 15mm f/2.8

Pros: Impeccably refined construction, overall rendering, sharpness, focus, high value keeping over time.

Cons: Weight, footprint, price (especially if Fowa).

Opinion: What about a diamond of the kind ??? rnSforna files exceptionally, especially if coupled with appropriate sensors (Nikon D810 or similar ...). The edge-to-edge sharpness is impressive, superlative color rendering, disarming focus due to fluid flow. Built without compromise, with high quality materials, tropicalized, and with a body coupling hooded by the masterpiece of precision mechanics. There is Nirvana of landscape painters (infinite focus and diaphragm 16) ... if you are not the worst of floor planes, but the 15 mm is not really the best lens for these refinements). It's heavy and bulky (As well as expensive) but I think it will accompany many professional and cameramen years in search of perfection. Last but not least, it keeps its rating far above the average used. RnA rare enjoyment, and an investment at the same time. RnDifficult to find better.

nikon_35g_f1-4Nikon AF-S 35mm f/1.4 G ED

Pros: Sharpness, lightness, fast and accurate Af

Cons: Price (if Nital)

Opinion: Purchased recently, though having a Zeiss Milvus 35 f / 2 in the home, basically for having less weight and more action in the reportage photography. The surprising display for the great sharpness already f / 2. The blur is soft, shadows not overly closed, the chromatic rendering is loyal. Well constructed and tropicalized (maybe the hood is a bit to be inserted and be careful not to damage it during positioning maneuvers). At f / 2 i am sorry, af / 2.8 me conforta, af / 4 mi esalta.rnThank you very much (especially in coupled with the D810) rn

nikon_70-200_f2-8e_flNikon AF-S 70-200mm f/2.8E FL ED VR

Pros: Autofocus, stabilizer, microcontroller, general ergonomics for use

Cons: Price (if Nital)

Opinion: I think I can make a faithful assessment of my previous Nikon home. I owned the 80-200 monogo pump in the period 1990-1995 (great optics), then the VR I and the VR II (which I have never fully convinced). After years of fixed lenses, I decided to take the chance to try with the last born knowing that if it was dissatisfied it would have been viable without a problem in a couple of hours. Well I have to say "chapeau to the Nikon" for the excellent chisel work performed !!! He cleverly eliminated those details that did not fully convince holders of the previous optics. This FL is really very well balanced and it helps a lot in the fact that you are forced to handle with the forward support hand on the second ring. AF hooking is lightning (fabulous re-insertion of locking buttons) but above all I find really remarkable the overall lens yield on microcontroller. At f / 2.8 the plane's detachment and the bokeh are rewarding, af / 4 and f / 5.6 the yield is s, The maximum of the sharpness obtainable (even superfluous). Over f / 8 ??? It does not work. Together with a sharp monster like the D810 does superlative things. Needed shopping ??? YES. Recommended shopping ??? Again YES.

nikon_afs105_f1-4Nikon AF-S 105mm f/1.4 E ED

Pros: Sharpness, chromatic rendering, bokeh, focus.

Cons: Size, and ... price.

Opinion: A fabulous look for its speed (f / 1.4), its delicate bokeh and the impressive rapidity of engagement in the focus. It is indispensable in portraiture where it delivers soft files with balanced tonal transitions without exaggerating in macrocontrasto such as the series Nikkor G.rnTherefore, we will have a proper management of the shadows to the benefit of the diminished eventual post-production. "The" one hundred and five "length, perhaps wrongly wronged by those who like me is not a portraitist, is living a while his second youth in a ' Time dominated by zoom; It also reveals amazing ductility in generic photography, enabling us to capture inexhaustibly, but essentially, those details that always make a difference. The only defect it has, the price apart: a big "barilozzo" to accompany , But it repays when his left hand supports him in the box, giving us beautiful pictures, live and feel. Employed in coupled with the D810 ... leaves speechless the intI was a planet. Try to believe.rn

zeiss_milvus_100mZeiss Milvus 100mm f/2M

Pros: impeccable construction, smooth focus, micro-contrast.

Cons: It does not allow to obtain a ratio of 1: 1; apprenticeship in close focus with open aperture.

Opinion: The Zeiss Milvus 100 mm. f / 2 Makro is the lens that delight those looking for an extreme microcontrast in ravvicinata.rnLa flawless construction resumed with a refined design, the weather sealing, the creamy smoothness of focus, typically the Zeiss color are the qualities that best represent it in the optical Macro view. Does not reach the reproduction ratio 1: 1 (instead its direct competitor Nikkor AF-S 105 mm. Has), but made amends by offering a typical brightness of f / 2 (f / 2.8 Nikkor) .rnE 'a lens which can obviously be used for all kinds (perhaps the least suitable is the portrait), and gives details and infinite shades with consistent sharpness from edge to bordo.rnA close range and open diaphragms requires some training to get the sharpness you befits a view like that; This is crucial especially when coupled to sensors with high number of pixels (over 24 Mpxl). But, acquired the giusta familiarity with Manual Focus, it's really a great lente.rnConsigliatissimo.

zeiss_milvus_35Zeiss Milvus 35mm f/2

Pros: impeccable construction, elegant design, tropicalization, picture clarity, smooth focusing.

Cons: Nobody

Opinion: Yet another creature of the house Zeiss, solid, well-built, high yield. Like all Zeiss, and in particular the Milvus series, impresses the focusing movement capable of transmitting a control pleasant sensation. Goal must-have for lovers of the street genre. The sharpness from edge to edge is rewarding as well as color rendering. The Milvus series is the lightest, least expensive, and perhaps the most versatile and utile.rn

zeiss_milvus_21Zeiss Milvus 21mm f/2.8

Pros: Admirably impeccable construction, tropicalization, beautiful design, ultra-smooth images from edge to edge, high-light tight.

Cons: Weight, Price???

Opinion: Exaggerated wide angle for quality and yield. There is no other optics that can withstand comparison. It churn out images of absolute sharpness from edge to edge. The backlight tightness is so high that no flare or ghost interferes with the Raw quality. Very useful the scale of depth of field (common to all serious lenses like Zeiss House) that allows you to preset the focus before framing, to speed up the shooting procedure. The Price??? The quality is worth and you pay.

nikon_180_f2-8dNikon AF 180mm f/2.8 D ED IF

Pros: Lightweight and easy to handle, very well built, crisp, great bokeh, smooth transitions and mushy.

Cons: Slow autofocus (venial problem ... almost negligible).

Opinion: I own the three years since I sold the 70-200 VRII, heavy bulky too closed and contrastato.rnRisulta one of the best purchases ever fatti.rnSuperbamente built without plastic, extremely maneuverable, far made, one of the longest and best optical ever built by Nikon.rnE 'the only purpose of my makeup that never comes out from his backpack, while the others will appear in rotazione.rnPerchè ??? rnNon may lack in a serious Nikon kit: highly consigliato.rn

zeiss_milvus_50_f1-4Zeiss Milvus 50mm f/1.4

Pros: Sharpness, chromatic rendering, contrast, constructive quality.

Cons: Weight

Opinion: A superlative goal that forces files that do not need almost postproduction. The color rendering and sharpness are very high (practically like an Otus), the unbeatable construction quality compared to the case for which it's compatible. It's very heavy and expensive. Thinking to sell it is crazy.rn Who buys it will become totally dependent.rnOpen impatient in the focus, which with the mounted screens at present is not always easy (however the green ball helps a lot) .rnEasy, as in all Serious and non-plasticious lenses, the presence on the classic depth-of-field barrel, referring to the infinite positioning to work in the hyperfocal landscape and to have a focus without even framing.

nikon_afs300_f4pfNikon AF-S 300mm f/4 E PF ED VR

Pros: Weight / handling, Focus, Global file output, exceptional Stabilizer

Cons: passage of light in the coupling between the hood and the body-Optical. If Nikon lens hood and learn to make their grafts from Zeiss .... rnTuttavia is a venial sin in the context of amazing perspective.

Opinion: Today I bought this lens as a user by Google and immediately I turned to put the work and the saggiarne limiti.rnHo made a hundred shots in different ways and I can say that it is a view of the highest livello.rnFacile to use because it does not barrel a focus not even want (tested with D700), very light use even extended (formerly I had the Nikkor 300 f / 4 old model, of double weight and with a huge problem of camera shake when used on a tripod because of bracket absolutely insufficient connection) .rnMolto beautiful color rendering, the definition of the image and the balance of light and dark with no shadows closed as is the case for the series G.rnMa it really is stunning it is that I was able to easily get a ' razor-sharp picture and perfectly in focus with 1/6 second freehand exposure to f 4 with stabilizer in position Normal !!! rnSe had not the Raw here in front of us does not crederei.rnPosso safe to say that until 1/15second all pictures can perfectly requiring attention really definitive minima.rnIn: And 'ABSOLUTELY A LENS TO OWN, the worthy completion in long shot of my optical park. I could not buy better. I think he does not regret the 300 f / 2.8rnValuterò in the future if maybe buy a 1.4x / 1.7xrn
