nikon_d90Nikon D90

Pros: good construction; for his age excellent camera; top display; good rear display; battery life

Cons: then no one, now feels the evolution of technology; iso starting from 200

Opinion: It was my first DSLR for a long time. Bought used and with a few shots from a retailer with unn 24-14 3.5 - 5.6 FF & with dedicated grip. Having bought it in 2010 it was still very current and I must say that I have always been satisfied, and still am, with the results I get. Of course it has 12Mp, and now maybe they are few, but then they were the norm and I must say that even now they can have their say. Of course the D90 cannot be compared to a current machine, technology has made great strides and ours is and is dated, but the feeling of solidity, safety and the impression of semi-professional was and remains intact. Now the noise is heard, the fact that the sensitivity starts from 200 iso and ends at 3200.... All things that do not matter if you are looking for a good camera to start with or if you do not give too much weight to technology. If you are looking for high technology, many Mp, latest generation gadgets do not take it. but if you are looking for a robust, reliable body (never cleaned the sensor, just to say ...), a gem that still desso is able in good hands to give excellent results do not let it escape.

nikon_35dxNikon AF-S DX 35mm f/1.8 G

Pros: sharp, lightweight, flexible, bright

Cons: plastic perhaps

Opinion: On my D90 it is equivalent to a 50ino that is not really my favorite focal length, and not to a 35mm but honestly I paid so little that I could not miss it. My preferences apart I found it excellent: excellent brightness, excellent sharpness and with the matching hood there are no problems of flare or infiltration. And since it's fashionable, it seems to me to have a great obokeh, but I don't understand much of it... In short, maybe I don't use it, but in bags it is always there.

nikon_16-85dxNikon AF-S DX 16-85mm f/3.5-5.6 G ED VR

Pros: Flexible in use, an all-rounder; good sharpness on my D90. Great VR system

Cons: In the backlight it is not the best (but just put the hood supplied and things improve); brightness not excellent at long focal lengths, but it is not such a big problem

Opinion: Lens that I use practically always on my trusty D90. Shooting especially landscapes having an equivalent 24mm (focal length that I love) for me is the best. The focal range won't be at the highest level, but it's never been a problem for my favorite genre. Combined with two fixed some the 35mm 2.8 DX and the old 50mm 1.8 FF (if and when I want to use more "noble" lenses) covers all the situations in which I personally can run into. Robust and light has "almost" never disappointed me, even if you have to learn to know its limits especially in the backlight (use the hood supplied). Fully satisfied.

canon_5dCanon 5D

Pros: FF, solidity, compatibility with old lenses, ease of use, reminds me of old films, photo quality

Cons: Battery life, unreliable screen, sensor that gets dirty very easily

Opinion: Coming from analog (but I also have a Nikon D90), I find myself with a bit of C/Y and M42 mount lenses that I still use, but that I thought I could also use digitally. So after inquiring I decided that the solution can only be a Canon FF. Last year I found a 5D with an old 28-135 zoom and bought it. Not needing dozens of Mpx or who knows what technology the 5D was the right purchase: with adapter rings I can mount my vintage lenses with all their peculiarities (especially the M42) and get very interesting results. First of all, as soon as you take it in hand you have a feeling of solidity and impressive "concreteness". It's big and heavy but you get used to it quickly so much so that when I shoot with the D90 I feel like I have a toy in my hand. It does not have who knows what functions, but if you have to take photos very often too many are useless, especially using manual focus lenses and having grown up with the Yaschica 80s. :-) The results with vintage lenses are good, and I agree with those who before me compared the shots of 5D to those of old films, the good ones. With a minimum intervention in post-production you get unique shots as a yield. Being above all a landscaper and / or not taking sports photos or where there is a need for very fast reaction times, often using manual focus lenses (I have a Zeiss Distagon 25mm which is a show on this machine) the problem of autofocus almost never presented to me. And I must say that even when I hold the zoom with which I bought it, precision and vibration reduction did their job. Of course they are not lightning, but in the end it is not for what I bought it. Here, if you plan to use it as I do with old lenses keep in mind two things: 1) the focus is not at all assisted, you have very good eyes (which I do not have), do not trust to put the focus on infinity, it is not always accurate with the old lenses coupled with digital bodies and / or not of the same brand. 2) for the exposure you will have to work in stop-down, that is, you will not see anything in the viewfinder, only if you are exposing too much or too little. And you will have to adjust the apertures on the barrel or the times of the car accordingly. Always focus with the maximum aperture and only then adjust the aperture: if you do the opposite the viewfinder will be too dark. Is all this a problem? Absolutely not. for the old men it will be like going back in time. For newbies it will be a good opportunity to slow down and maybe better understand the dynamics of light / times. To conclude this (perhaps fon too lnga) dissertation, I highly recommend the purchase. it perfectly does what I thought I'd buy it for. but even if you plan to use it with modern lenses and in a "modern" way I do not think it will disappoint you.
