hoya_prond1000Hoya ProND1000

Pros: Economical, durable. Well-built, from glass to threading. Really minimal loss of sharpness. No AC or reflex. Rigid and durable packaging

Cons: He suffers terribly greasy and dirty. Light dominant cold but nothing serious. Desaturate

Opinion: It resists very well to any kind of light, without creating annoying luminous artifacts. The sharpness really suffers in a small part, allowing you to still bring home images sharp and workable. It has a slight tendency to blue/green, of little account, more important instead the fact that desaturates the images, not always the colors are fully recoverable. For the paid figure is a very good product without a doubt. The packaging, rigid and with granitic closure, does not let in a speck of dust. Completely negative note, it suffers terribly dirt and stains go away only with great fatigue and attention. You have to check it from various angles and with different sources of light to make sure it is well cleaned: being so dark the stains and halos can easily hide and ruin a shot irreparably

sandisk_extreme_sdhc32gb_90mbs

Pros: Economical, safe

Cons: It is not a sword

Opinion: Good value for money but 1) for 10 euros you take the 64 Giga 2) is not very quick in writing. Excellent for photos not in the sports area or for wildlife. He never lost me a file that was one. I fell in every where, dust cement and water but it doesn't seem to have suffered any damage, ergo it seems to me to be built decently

patona_np_fw50Patona NP-FW50

Pros: Good autonomy for super competitive prices

Cons: Absolutely no one

Opinion: For 14 euros I took 1 battery and a charger ... they both work well. Battery of little less than the original (but for 50 and passes euro ... but it seems crazy). However the image here is wrong on juza, the battery is smooth and equal in front and behind, only a small piece of jumper for the links (= original sony). Very satisfied with the purchase

yashica_50_f1-9Yashica ML 50mm f/1.9

Pros: size, weight, sharpness. Minimum focus distance

Cons: brittle, sharpness to TA. Distortion. Sticker. Very marked astigmatism. Two-dimensionality. Bokeh very nervous. Ac

Opinion: At full opening it is naturally soft, but still usable. It also solves well on 24mpx full frame. After many years of extremely careful use, the diaphragm slats have moved a little and close in a broken, irregular geometric figure, but the result is not compromised. Flare simply beautiful and very easily dosed. There are several chromatic aberrations, as well as a slight distortion. Astigmatism is marked and in the night photos you can see. The bokeh is very nervous, not always appreciable but certainly of character. I definitely recommend this lens as a portrait optics, it gives really appreciable lights and the right softness of the case. This is not, in my opinion, an approach to be underestimated. I use it with a 3d printed adapter unfortunately a little inaccurate, infinity surpasses it by far, despite this it puts very close subjects in focus. Great goal!

sony_18-55_v2Sony DT 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 SAM II

Pros: Lightweight, in-house, af/mf switch. Few AC. Stoic!

Cons: Sharpness. Indecent flare. It gets dirty easy. Infiltration. MAF ring.

Opinion: This lens is very much ruined over time. It tends to get dirty with little. Sharpness not exhilarating but quite good compared to other lens kits. Af often in difficulty, with little less than an optimal light is useless. Dust and moisture infiltrations always lurking. Pulling the sums better take the bodysuit yourself and add it to a 50in at least valid. Used in all imaginable conditions he always responded well, no défaillance neither for dust nor for extreme humidity.

nikon_18-55dx_vr2Nikon AF-S DX 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 G VR II

Pros: Cluttered when closed, in relation to other lens lenses excels in sharpness. Light. Slightly reduced footprint when collapsed. Hinges for AF / MF and stabilizer.

Cons: TA sharpness, plastic, low resistance to infiltration, AC .... zoom kit.

Opinion: Zoom kits with little praise and some infamers. It is best to count the image quality. Produces cool images. But I was amazed at some portraits of clarity. It is an "all-round / nothing" holiday destination and nothing more. Good for on / off and af / mf stabilization rings. Generally it's plasticous and looks rather delicate. The dust comes in streams.

samyang_135_f2Samyang 135mm f/2 ED UMC

Pros: sharpness, bokeh at f/2 aperture stop, many collars, fluidity, resistance to flare, no chromatic aberrations, almost no distortion. minimum focus distance struck (manages to focus even less than 80 cm!)

Cons: square 2, over f/Bokeh at every aperture. pronounced vignetting. any kind of stabilization (pros/cons). great lens mirrorless species. absence of tripod ring series

Opinion: Superb lens, excellent. No real flaw found. The sharpness at room temperature is astounding, even at 2.8 reaches its peak, amazing indeed. The fact that both manual makes me prefer even corresponding AF, both for my photographic style that for total control that is exercised in manual about this beast, suitable for photo cutlery and studied. PDC millimetric at f/2 If the pupil a subject slightly listing is in focus, the rest of the eye is not perfectly accurate, fluid, Nuts ... nothing to do with little brother 14 mm. Intense colors and precise. Proper weight to the lens. Being a 135 would require stabilization already at slower speeds to 1/200 to get still images without monopod; It would be appropriate to use a camera with integrated stabilizer. On sony a7 seems a real monster, with the lens hood attached does not go unnoticed even if you want it. A lens is really impressive, I feel the need to always hold when I shoot so as not to damage the hooks of the camera; the lens alone weighs nearly twice the body. The samyang doesn't produce the tripod ring, impossible to find a suitable replacement, better have it print in 3D with a small project. The bokeh at f/2 is gorgeous, other faceted shape and unfortunately no longer focal round, sin.

samyang_14Samyang 14mm f/2.8 IF ED UMC Aspherical

Pros: Minimum focus Distance. Good Price but low quality

Cons: Chromatic Aberrations at the edges, bad sharpness to TA, disabling vignetting, slow decentralisation, non-existent quality control, no minimum tropicalization. Crazy Distortion, correctable but losing mm! It Becomes almost a 16mm!!

Opinion: I look Back after two years of intense use of the optics in question my review: Vote 5. Useless Lens to TA both for lack of sharpness and for terrible vignetting. Homogeneous Sharpness on the frame only at F/11. Try 4 different lenses, all are decentrated, three on the left and one on the right. Ring Nuts (partially remediable and still not so serious). Very risky front Element. Mounting filters costs more than the optics itself... And not a little. The price may seem very low, but it is justified by the mediocre quality and the POOR quality control of the manufacturer. For a few tens of euros more you buy (and adapts to Sony and) the Irix 15mm, slightly brighter, sharper at full aperture that this samyang at F4, with LESS VIGNETTING (!!!) and distortion, tropicalized in both variants, also mounts screw filters , very large certain but immensely more comfortable than the slab ones for the Samyang (150x150) and less expensive. The distortion is horrible and intrusive, it corrects enough in post production, but this leads to a substantial and important loss of pieces of framing, every time you compose you have to put into account that you will crop the image which is indecent: you buy Such a perspective to make the most of all millimeters, and after the correction you find yourself with a shot of a 16mm lens, which is quite serious. I do not recommend buying this lens. You can have a LOT more at a virtually identical price. Who wants to convince you that this lens is "superlative", or does not agree to have taken a crab, or look at their photographs only on smartphones.

sony_55-200Sony DT 55-200mm f/4-5.6 SAM

Pros: Sharpness, contrast, flare and AC resistance, soft and quick zoom thanks to the good ring nut

Cons: Dark, MAF ring, loosens. Unsure, which would not be a problem for me if the damn ring of MAF was well done. 200mm physiological decline in quality

Opinion: The perfect jumper to have fun !! with a ridiculous expense if taken in kit is a bargain. Compared to the little brother always sold in kits, 18-55, there are abysses of difference, this produces crisp and contrasting images. The minimum distance of MAF does not help a lot in the macros, but some close-ups can be successfully tried anyway. The only thing that really annoys me is the ring of the MAF ... I personally like focusing manually, and with this goal is not the easiest and easiest way to do ... I do not understand the choice not to knit even the a tiny ring, which measures half a centimeter, so smooth is hard to find. the Af is decent but not formidable, often wrong and sometimes just forget to hook up ... I have never put so much trust on even AFs with ultrasonic or stepper engines to tell the truth, I always preferred manual MAF, I do feel the camera and my picture more, but sometimes the AF is useful and you can nottrust it. The hood is at the same level as the MAF ring, a dirt, a poor black plastic cylinder, but at least does not bend. If reverse is used when it is not used lock the MAF ring and half zoom ring, rather unpleasant. In sum, in order to be synthetic and above all sincere, this 55-200 is a valid objective, which exudes quality images and gives you so much satisfaction, just have the patience of habit!

sony_18-55Sony DT 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 SAM

Pros: Compact, economical to historical landmarks, zoom ring not bad. 55mm filters. Colors. Switch af-mf

Cons: shameful focus ring, you can work practically only in AF. excursion barrel. Af slow and pretty noisy. Sharpness. AC and flare often present

Opinion: Frankly, in terms of image quality it is not much worse than 28-70 E-mount ... like build quality is decidedly. The ring of the MAF is ridiculous, a circle of half a centimeter even knurled. The zoom ring is decent however, always responds well and has never given problems, it is never stuck or damaged by sand, dust, humidity, and this lens these 3 deadly components has seen in industrial quantities, was at 90% moisture, in the desert with the wind ... And despite the lack of weather sealing on that side did not give problems. More problems instead gives in terms of sharpness, contrast, resistance to flare and AC. It often used on f8 for decent results and yet we can not expect a precision scalpel ... but for 130 new !! It also has the convenient lever to change af / mf that today seems to be sadly out of fashion for optical kit. In all honesty, after tens of thousands of photos in all possible atmospheric conditionsthat has never given problems, and this is a real honor, you know that the focus remains on your side even if you mistreat a bit '. It 'a trusted companion, pleasant atmosphere to start than to have fun, unpretentious, I will remember it fondly!

sony_a7Sony A7

Pros: Body tropicalized and full of functions. Three adjustment rings. Light screen, definite, inclinable. EVF viewfinder. Noise reduction in-camera (effective, but slow). Full Frame Economical and performaning. Suitable for both beginners and experts

Cons: Af. Lack of stabilizer. Gust to historical lows. Lens release button stupidest. Paid applications. Sony's most expensive average competition targets and scarce used market. High ISO resistance. Noisy shooting

nikon_d5200Nikon D5200

Pros: Tilting screen, lightweight, compact body, many quick selection buttons easily accessible, sturdy, integrated flash, price, articulated display, blinding AF illuminator (powerful).... funny!!!

Cons: One adjusting dial. Live-View switch. Limitation 1/4000

Opinion: It is compact and light, but sturdy. The very rich sensor for an APS-C is really dense, but in-camera noise reduction is effective. In the switch between View-finder and live-view takes a little time, I recommend to use the viewfinder more often to shoot. At high ISO I was really surprised; Despite the very dense sensor the images often have little noise, in raw it snaps quietly up to 3000 ISO. For less than 1000 euros in coupled with the Tamron 16-300 is a treat. Very very good resolution, does not knead like direct competitors (both canon and Sony): In particular Canon has disappointed me from the tests done because despite the less dense sensors there are more problems (!) than with Nikon. Not to mention the distinctly different solidity. I recommend the d5200 because it does not disappoint. If you don't need nonsense like WiFi and GPS is an optimum camera

tamron_16-300vcTamron 16-300mm f/3.5-6.3 Di II VC PZD Macro

Pros: Lightweight, small dimensions, comfortable and fluid ring. Stabilized. Macro simulation. Zoom dial lock. It does not stretch alone. 16 mm. Price. Shut up if you close a bit '

Cons: Sharpness at TA, AC, barrel excursion, mm 270-300

Opinion: Impossibility to get to 300mm effective. Even though not being ultrasound is fast and almost never mistaken. RnOnly sharpness mostly closed a little, it enhances the d5200's highly-aps-c sensor. The biggest problem is the presence of purple and green fringing ... chromatic aberration is always around the corner. The barrel travel could allow dust input. 270-300 mm drops in sharpness and performance, for the other focal points it is a good sharp target for the great excursion and also quite contrasted. There are no good qualities such as the ability to simulate a macro lens; The weight is really low for a 16-300, and allows even without blocking the barrel hike this does not even move when the camera is hanging around the neck, so it is well built; For added security there is a convenient lever that securely locks the zoom range. Fantastic zoom switch for choice af%2Fmf, just above that of the stabilization switch. True value added to me, compared to other tamron superzoom and competition, are 2mm for the wide, really good. The lens is generally fast and powerful, in relation to price and features is a real bomb, flies around At € 400 for nikon, and at this price there are no valid competitors. The lens is even tropicalized, what do you want most? Ultimately the amateur lens for excellence, for travel, panoramas, portraits, street, exaggerating for birdlife and macro too. Do it all and do it discreetly or very well.

sony_fe28-70ossSony FE 28-70mm f/3.5-5.6 OSS

Pros: Price in kit form; decent sharpness (if closed); resistant to flare as required; few chromatic aberrations, even in critical situations; zoom and focus rings rigid the right; I find it rather elegant, yet modern ... almost "nice." Light and pleasant to use, the manual I am comfortable. The goal does not have almost no hiking or with the zoom or with the focus, always remaining the same size, a nice convenience.

Cons: dark; cartoon; distortion; standard range too limited; lens hood plasticaccia; lack of values ??on the bezel of the MAF; lack switch af / mf. Bokeh evident onion. the autofocus is loupe and sometimes blatantly wrong.

Opinion: I bought it as a kit with a7, whereas the difference between the kit and one body was only 50 Euros !!! For the money is great ... in general, is fairly good. Range of standard diaphragms, is not bright at all. As a standard zoom lens sincerely I am expecting worse: the sharpness is decent stopping down and many clicks are easily usable with important crop, even on the sensor of the a7. We do not rely on AF, which in bright conditions is just decent but after dark it becomes unusable and frustrating; on the other hand the ring of maf is a true wonder, soft to move already with your little finger, but not strong enough to move by itself even while walking and sballonzola the camera around his neck. Like other sony objectives, the modern choice to run in full the ring of maf is questionable and points for and against: never having a fixed point it is not very certain of maf focused on infinity, because & eacutis; there is nothing written on the dial. However, the focus peaking in this case comes to the rescue and I must admit that set to a minimum, allowing you to focus one thousand times faster auto focus lens .... this new tool is a real WONDER and is the true why in the end I chose sony, in addition to unconditional love I had and I have for the EVF (today I could not do without it, SLR viewfinders make me feel almost uncomfortable: D) .rnL'obiettivo cartoon a little 'ta to, but especially a lot distorts images ... nothing that we can not solve in pP, it is important to always remember. sad note ... the sharpness in TA is really poor, the lens produces smooth images, and (few) times presents chromatic aberrations in particular on the frame edges. The flare there is, but it is not too invasive, it is sometimes useful for producing "artistic" shots, you can dosare.rnL 'goal has not af / mf switch, which in other standard sony kit like the old 18-55 instead there and I personally find very handy ... You earn a one-touch button more on the body macchina.rnInfine, the the fact that the lens does not stretch focusing or zooming makes me appreciate a little 'more, usually economic kit zoom odioso.rnDetto have this problem all this .... I buy back? kit in 1000 and over again. Alone? ...... Think not, then now the price has even gone up on 500 and until last month was the 350, which I think is however still too much for a goal like that, to be considered - maybe- below 200 Euros. For me, better focus on two fixed as 35 + 85, or even just have a good 50cc, which will take soon to replace this "morbidone". Better less range of focal lengths, but images still usable!

sony_slt_a37Sony SLT-A37

Pros: Good resistance high ISO, excellent electronic viewfinder, robust. Reclining LCD screen. In-room stabilization excellent. Possibility to make the auto-manual focus switch directly on the reflex body. Electronic Zoom to control the fire. Optimum Ergonomics. Automatic Switch for live-view thanks to the proximity sensor. Scary Battery

Cons: Not tropicalized, only one adjusting ring. Reclining screen not excelled, but very comfortable. Personally I prefer it to the articulated screens, I find them uncomfortable, but these are just my taste

Opinion: Still valid, in my opinion, in 2017. SONY Sensor 16 MPX optimally realized; Valid already with mediocre optics, gives pretty sharp shots, I guess with high-level prime optics. Excellent high ISO resistance, 3200 ISO usable. The camera has a always good response speed. The videos are quality, certainly still 30 fps but they are more than good for sporadic and non-pretentious shooting. I would definitely recommend, it gave me great satisfaction even in very poor light, as during the fashion shows indoors or in the evening. The SONY menu, when you start to know well, allows you to get to the desired settings in a few seconds even if there is only one adjusting ring in the body. Today it is on the 400 euro with the kit... for me, it could still be considered for its quality, even if the market is orienting, especially on the APSC format, on the 24MPX sensors; For a few hundred euro always remaining in the house Sony there are modern and more performing alternatives such as A68 (which does not convince me) and a6000, which is now at competitive prices (considering that even that is just new). The EVF is for me the tip of diamante...la ease of composition that provides helps a lot to keep the scene under control. I am of the opinion that the choice of an electronic viewfinder even in the professional field is the right one. I tried reflex sights, Pentamirror and pentaprism viewfinders, but I still love electronic ones, with their noise and their faults. In the last istanza...la battery.... complicit the Intelligent automatic switch with LIVE-VIEW, complicit the LCD that is not bright nor super-defined consumes little battery.... I have always succeeded, even after 4 years of use, with the same exact battery, to make 1500-2000 shots with a charge. I am not elevating the fact to a myth: it is so, and it has always been so with this a37. In a boat trip to Greece in September 2015, with splashes, salt, sand and sun, she returned home (indeed in the hotel) in the evening with 15% battery and 2000 + more shots in the memory card.... by fear. A real Tiger
