Pros: Lightness and a feeling of strength in the hand. Design and materials, sharpness and very useful VC. All in all silent.
Cons: Af a little uncertain in conditions of light a bit lacking (but like all the af when working in macro).
Opinion: Arrived today, I am going to review the appearance and the little that I found, reserving to update with time and use the review.rnrnEstetically very discreet and elegant. Very compact and linear, fairly low weight. The vibration reduction system works fine, the stabilized image also helps a lot in the focusing phase up, especially when working in manual focus and focuses on moving the equipment rather than using the ring. The system is activated by half-pressing the shutter release button and emits a slight noise, noise that also emits on deactivation, but during its operation is very quiet. The sharpness of the lens, from what I could see, is very good (not that from a lemnte designed specifically for macros there was to expect something different). rnAutofocus is very quiet, does not emit that annoying buzz that usually emit autofocus engines, rather a more muffled noise. rnA brightness levels lacking however theautofocus becomes uncertain, especially at a close maf distance. this problem is amplified if you use live view, while using the viewfinder happens much less. (It certainly depends on the type of system used for focusing in the two settings, but I reserve the right to investigate the causes of this, maybe everything comes from my setting in the room not really suitable) .rnIf the brightness is instead suited the autofocus I seemed to behave in a way, even in servo mode, changed the fire always in a proper and apt, and to tell the truth even pretty quickly ( certainly not a system designed for birdlife: P) .rnTogether added to the type of objective that is just enter into harmony with him and understand it, not to be stopped by those who might seem defects, but then reveal invitations to a different and more suitable approach to the lens you have in your hands.rnrnMi also amazed at the fact that while inserting two sets of extension tubes (forn total of 130 mm), the working distance still remained wide enough to leave several cm between the front of the lens and the subject (if I happen to have a third set of extension tubes I could push myself further and more RR pushed). rnInoltre the tubes used by me guaranteed the use of electrical contacts, and I could see not only that the data were transferred quietly, but that even the autofocus even if with more difficulty, could still hit the maf (I did not expect it sincerely ) .rnrnI find myself modifying this last part of the review, because after the unpleasant incident of the specimen with white particles inside, I made the same, but the problem was not in the end goal, but in the channel of purchase! In fact, after several ups and downs and a second not perfect, I decided to request the return in cash and I bought another copy at another channel. At this lap, the authenticity of% 2 was already visible from the packaging6 # object (all the seals and hallmarks in the right place, and the certificates of quality tests carried out in the factory). So I can only confirm the quality of the objective in itself, the problems arise only if you buy secondary routes not really series;) |
