Review 1 of 3

Price Paid: $150.00 from Fotoshop

Summary:

Na twee maanden intensief gebruik heb ik de hele set ingeruild en de F100 gekocht.

Strengths:

Pronea 600i gekocht ivm geringe gewicht en mogelijkheden inklusief 24-70mm. Het is een prettige kombinatie om de hele dag "mee te slepen".

Weaknesses:

De kwaliteit van de foto`s vallen mij erg tegen. De oorzaken zijn vermoedelijk; 10% kleiner negatief dan de 35 mm en de mindere kwaliteit van de IX objektieven. De scherpte is niet goed. De lensafwerking bijna Nikon onwaardig. Plastic en teveel speling in de onderdelen.

Similar Products Used:

Diverse Nikon camera`s en objektieven.

Customer Service:

Niet nodig gehad.

Review 2 of 3

Summary:

It's a fine optic which gives great pics. A little noisy compared to Canons but that's being picky.

The plastic mount is good for preserving the balance of the camera, but how rugges is it? Who knows? But I'm not one to be paranoid.

Strengths:

*Good image quality
*Fast smooth focussing on Pronea 6i

Weaknesses:

*Little bit of slack in focus ring on manual focus
*Not sure about plastic mount

Similar Products Used:

Review 3 of 3

Model Reviewed:
Nikkor 24 - 70

Summary:

APS system and it's cataloging capability of negs and prints is just perfect companion for traveling with large format camera. 24-70 and 60-180 lenses are fine optics and the later is very good with T6 close up lens. I had some 7x10 enlargments printed at local lab from Fuji Nexia F film with good results. I'm very happy with this system.

Strengths:

Very light, sharp, nice contrast and adequet range for standard lens.
An application of standard 35mm lenses did not improve image quality.

Weaknesses:

None, considering that lens is mostly plastic.
