Samyang 85mm T1.5 AS IF UMC VDSLR LensThe Samyang 85mm T1.5 is a manual focusprime lens, this VDSLR (Video DSLR) version has been developed primarilyfor professional cine / movie making purposes. The VDSLR versionfeature follow focus gearing and decoupled aperture, which allow theuser to smoothly and quietly change focus and aperture / depth of fieldwhist filming, and link to professional follow focus cam systems.TheSamyang 85mm T1.5 is a manual focus prime lens, designed to giveexceptional results at wide apertures. At T1.5 great images can beobtained, which is perfect for portraiture and low light shooting,particularly when mounted on a full frame DSLRs.The SamyangVDSLR Cine lenses are rated in T-Stops rather than F-stops which is thestandard for professional movie camera lenses. F-stop number expressesthe speed of the lens on the assumption that lens transmits 100% of theincident light, and therefore is theoretical rather than a real worldmeasurement. The T-number expresses the actual light transmission, andthus is accurate for exposure purposes. It is also worth noting that theSamyang lenses achieve excellent transmissions properties.Thebokeh (the character of the out-of-focus blur) is a primary concern forprofessionals choosing an ultra large aperture lens for shallowdepth-of-field photography. The Samyang 85mm T1.5 lens design offersexcellent bokeh quality of out-of-focus highlights when used near wideopen, perfect for film and cine applications. Independent tests andusers confirm the Samyang',s beautiful bokeh character, surpassing lenses4 times the price.The lens optical construction is the same asthe 85mm f1.4 lens comprising of 9 lenses divided into 7 optical groupswith one aspheric lens element. The Samyang 85mm is designed withinternal focusing (IF) meaning the lens does not increase in size whenfocusing. A further positive aspect to internal focusing is that thelens is much less likely to get dust inside, as opposed to externalfocusing (or zooming) lenses which can suck in dirt during use. The 8bladed aperture design aids a great bokeh character at near wide openapertures.The Samyang 85mm T1.5 IF MC features Multi-coatedlenses which aid the very high level of light transmission, and addedresistance to flare and ghosting. It features a good sized manual focusring and is perfectly adapted to most photographic applications(exclusive of sports or fast moving subjects) where manual focus is notan issue. Accurate for focus critical situations can be achieved throughuse of focusing in live view mode, available to most newer cameramodels. In practice users including professional photographers havefound manual focus of the Samyang 85mm not to be an issue, even shootingat f1.4 with a very shallow depth of field in low light scenarios withstatic and slow moving subjects accurate focus can be achieved givingexcellent results thought the image on full frame cameras.Thereare also increasing numbers of users using DSLRs for filming and HighDefinition (HD) video and manual focus lenses allows the user to alterfocus during filming, and hence why the VDSLR versions were developed.Thefocus ring features toothed rings compatible with professional gearedfollow focus systems available in the film industry and likewise atoothed, decoupled (de-clicked) aperture ring. Such modifications allowfor smooth and precise control over focus and aperture during videorecording / filming. This allows for ultimate manual control of focusand exposure when filming from one scene to another with different lightsource intensities, such as changing exposure values (EVs) from insideto outside, or even in-camera fade ins etc.The Samyang VDSLRversions can be used in still photography as well as for video purposes.There are increasing numbers of users using DSLRs for filming and HighDefinition (HD) video and manual lenses allows the user to change focus(focus pulling) and aperture during filming.The Samyang 85mm T1.5 lens should be a serious consideration toall professional or amateur photographers requiring a fast prime lens,regardless of budget. When the low cost of the lens is considered itshould not be overlooked for amateur use, or as a primary or secondarylens for professionals wanting a dedicated, high performing T1.5portrait lens.Available fittings: TBC.

Rarissima edizione italiana del capolavoro del fotografo svizzero. Considerato il capostipite della street photography grazie a questo celebre fotolibro, che riuscì inizialmente a pubblicare solo in Europa, raccontò la società americana attraverso un viaggio di due anni in quaranta stati USA con sole 83 immagini, così potenti e innovative che il volume gli venne dapprima rifiutato e considerato quasi sovversivo. Solo dopo il successo delle edizioni francese e italiana (identiche e uscite in contemporanea) il volume fu pubblicato negli Stati Uniti diventando uno dei più importanti e seminali photobook del novecento. Questo esemplare è in condizioni eccellenti e completo, presenta pagine freschissime e senza pieghe, e solo dei leggerissimi segni d'uso alla copertina. Anche la rilegatura è solidissima. Gli Americani. Photographs by Robert Frank. Texts in italian by Simone de Beauvoir, Bernard Iddings Bell, Alain Bosquet, John Brown, Omar N. Bradley, Erskine Caldwell, John Dos Passos, William Faulkner, Andre Maurois, Henry Miller, Claude Roy, John Steinbeck, Walt Whitman, Richard Wright. Edited by Alain Bosquet. Ed il Saggiatore . First edition. Original edition. 174 pages. Oblong octavo. Glazed paper over boards. Cover design by Saul Steinberg. No dust jacket as issued. Numerous gravure reproductions. Many memorable photobooks have been derived from this mass of material. None has been more memorable, more influential, nor more fully realized than Frank's masterpiece."-Martin Parr and Gerry Badger, The Photobook: A History, Vol. 1 Unlike the Grove Press edition with its politically charged texts printed on pages facing the photos-Frank's acerbic documentary of post-war American life comes across more as a biting exposé of the ennui and provincialism lurking beneath the surface than as a "sad poem sucked out of America," in Kerouac's famous words. A very nice copy of this fragile book. The original italian edition. A classic.

Il marchio VIVITAR è poco conosciuto dai neofiti e dai fotografi dell'era digitale. In realtà questo nome identifica ottiche di alta qualità prodotte negli anni '70 e '80 da costruttori d'eccellenza come TOKINA, COSINA, SAMYANG, KINO PRECISION (KIRON) e KOMINE per conto della Ponder & Best Inc. e venduti col marchio VIVITAR. Su tutte spiccano le ottiche appartenenti alla "Series 1", progettate con l'ausilio dei primi computers e spesso superiori anche alle ottiche ufficiali dei colossi della fotografia. Il grandangolo da 35mm in oggetto, fa parte di una serie di obiettivi molto apprezzata negli anni '80 venduti col marchio VIVITAR ma fabbricati dalla giapponese TOKINA, com'è dato di intendere dal numero di serie che inizia con "37..." Realizzato interamente in metallo, questo obiettivo è dotato di un diaframma a 8 lamelle arrotondate e la sua focale moderatamente grandangolare (35mm) lo rende ideale per la fotografia di paesaggio e di architettura ma anche per il reportage e la street photography. La sua accellente luminosità (f/2.8) lo rende anche adatto agli scatti con luce critica e per i ritratti ambientati. - Obiettivo grandangolare con focale 35mm - Diaframma a iride composto di 8 lamelle, con aperture variabili da f/2.8 a f/16 - Messa fuoco di tipo manuale con distanza minima da 30cm - Attacco filtri diametro 52mm - Attacco a baionetta Konica AR Oltre alla compatibilità di quest'ottica con i corpi macchina reflex realizzati da Konica, acquistando degli economici adattatori da euro, quest'obiettivo può essere montato su qualunque mirrorless digitale ad ottica intercambiabile. Se si è disposti ad effettuare la messa a fuoco manualmente (cosa molto più divertente e creativa dell'autofocus) si può apprendere davvero appieno il mondo della fotografia e ci si possono permettere, con costi davvero contenuti, ottiche ad alte prestazioni a prezzi decisamente più abbordabili dalle ottiche "di serie". Le opportunità di sperimentazione sono praticamente infinite in questo campo... STATO D'USO: Dal punto di vista estetico, l'obiettivo si trova in ottime condizioni, come da foto. L'elemento anteriore e posteriore sono privi di graffi o fungo. Le lamelle del diaframma sono asciutte e i movimenti della meccanica (diaframmi e messa a fuoco) sono fluidi e morbidi. Corredato di tappo anteriore e posteriore.

ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Watkins, T. H., PUBLISHER: Johns Hopkins University Press, As a collection of geological and climatic phenomena, the earth is a scarred, bent, cracked, and agitated wreck of a place. Nowhere is this more evident than in Utah's redrock canyon country, which is among the most spectacular terrain not only in America but in the world. These extraordinary lands lie at the heart of the Colorado Plateau -- square miles of uplifted rock sitting like a huge island in an earthly continental sea, surrounded on all sides by the remnants of once-active volcanoes. Although the Colorado Plateau includes portions of Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona, in no other part of any other state are its complexity and time-constructed beauty illuminated more brilliantly than in southern Utah. Tourists and outdoor enthusiasts by the millions visit and revisit the area because there is no place else on earth quite like it. In The Redrock Chronicles, T. H. Watkins, one of America's best-known and award-winning writers on the environment and history, focuses on southern Utah's unprotected lands in a loving testament to its warps and tangles of rock and sky. Combining history, geography, and photography, the author reports the full story of the region -- from its violent geologic beginnings to the coming (and going) of pre-Puebloan peoples whose drawings still adorn rocks and caves there, from the Mormon settlement of the s and s to the great uranium boom of the s, from the beginning of tourism and parkland protection in the s to today's controversial movement to preserve millions of acres of wild Utah land in the National Wilderness Preservation System. Indeed, the account of that revolutionary movement is told here in all its color and complexity for the first time. Writing from his own personal experience and extensive research, an appreciative Watkins takes readers on a tour of the Grand Staircase of plateaus, moving from the utterly wild triangle of Kaiparowits Plateau, with its erosion-sculptured mesas, tablelands, benchlands, and canyons, to a more welcoming kind of verdant wilderness that sits northeast, across the rolling desert scrubland of Harris Wash, in the red-walled canyon of the Escalante River. The author has spent much time hiking and camping here among the isolated buttes and mesas, and he draws a vivid portrait of the area's highlights: Comb Ridge, a 90-mile wall of 600-foot cliffs; Waterpocket Fold, an even more spectacular monocline to the northeast of the Escalante River, stretching a hundred miles; the Henry Mountains; Hump of Bull Mountain; Cataract Canyon; and the San Rafael Swell, an enormous oval some square miles which rises just north of Capitol Reef National Park. But The Redrock Chronicles is not simply a celebration. Watkins concludes with a spirited call for the preservation of the unprotected wilderness that gives the land its character and color. He offers the legislative device of wilderness designation as the necessary means of saving this plateau country
Il marchio PENTACON (noto per le reflex Praktica) ha origini antiche. Nasce, infatti, da un ramo della Zeiss Ikon localizzato a Dresda, dopo che la città passò sotto il dominio della Germania Est. Da allora, la quasi totalità delle macchine uscite dagli stabilimenti di Dresda sono state del tipo reflex e il nome PENTACON è diventato sinonimo di fotografia reflex. Al pari dei corpi macchina, Pentacon ha realizzato anche uno sterminato parco ottiche di alta qualità, in grado di tenere testa alla migliore concorrenza tedesca di Zeiss e Schneider. Dopo aver prodotto per decenni ottiche con il classico passo a vite M42, all'inizio degli anni '80 PENTACON lanciò una linea di macchine reflex completamente rinnovata e decisamente più moderna e compatta dei modelli precedenti. Tecnicamente, le nuove reflex si caratterizzavano per l'utilizzo di otturatori a controllo elettronico e per la possibilità di avere tempi e diaframmi a comando manuale o automatico. La qualità delle ottiche, prodotte in Germania, restava il punto forte di queste macchine e l'obiettivo PRAKTICAR MC 28mm è uno dei prodotti meglio riusciti di questa nuova generazione. Realizzato interamente in metallo, questo obiettivo è dotato di un diaframma a 6 lamelle e la sua focale grandangolare (28mm) lo rende ideale sia per la fotografia di paesaggio e di architettura ma anche per il reportage e la street photography. La sua accellente luminosità (f/2.8) lo rende anche adatto agli scatti con luce critica e per i ritratti ambientati. - Obiettivo grandangolare con lunghezza focale di 28mm - Diaframma a iride composto di 6 lamelle, con aperture variabili da f/2.8 a f/22 - Messa fuoco di tipo manuale con distanza minima da 25cm. - Attacco filtri diametro 49mm - Attacco a baionetta Praktica B (PB) Oltre che per l'utilizzo con le reflex Praktica con baionetta Praktica B, l'aspetto più importante e raccomandabile di quest'ottica è sicuramente la sua adattabilità alle moderne reflex e mirrorless digitali con ottica intercambiabile. Infatti, utilizzando dei semplici ed economici adattatori, questi obiettivi possono essere impiegati con le moderne reflex digitali con notevole risparmio di denaro e risultati spesso ineguagliabili dalle ottiche attuali. Se si è disposti ad effettuare la messa a fuoco manualmente (cosa molto più divertente e creativa dell'autofocus) si può apprendere davvero appieno il mondo della fotografia e ci si possono permettere, con costi davvero contenuti, ottiche ad alte prestazioni a prezzi decisamente più abbordabili dalle ottiche "di serie". Le opportunità di sperimentazione sono praticamente infinite in questo campo... STATO D'USO: Dal punto di vista estetico, quest''ottica è pari al nuovo, come si evince dalle foto L'elemento anteriore e posteriore sono privi di graffi o fungo. Le lamelle del diaframma sono asciutte e senza alcuna traccia d'olio. I movimenti della meccanica (zoom e messa a fuoco) sono fluidi e morbidi. La regolazione dei diaframmi è precisa. Corredato di tappi obiettivo anteriore e posteriore.

Sirui',s S--N Carbon Fiber Tripod is a complete departure from the old days of "lugging around" a heavy metal tripod. To begin with, it only weighs 2.2 lb and yet can support up to 26.4 lb. The S--N is so versatile in its adjustments that it does about anything you can think of short of bending. It has individual leg spreading capability for low angles or uneven terrain. Besides the standard center column a short center column is included which allows the tripod to squat way down. And it reverses for even lower perspectives. The icing on the cake is a removable leg that converts to a monopod. And when the shoot is over the S--N won',t take up much space either. It folds flat to a mere 1.6" thick. 8 Layers of Carbon Fiber for Superior Load CapacitySirui is one of the few manufacturers who make their own carbon fiber leg tubes. The use of 100% carbon fiber and 8 cross pattern layers makes Sirui tripods and monopods capable of supporting impressive load capacities, while providing a lightweight product. In addition to providing high strength and low weight, carbon fiber is also highly resistant to temperature changes, friction (no need for lubrication) and corrosion.Custom Anodized Surface TreatmentAll Sirui products undergo a special anodized surface treatment that makes any metal surfaces highly resistant to wear and increases durability and weather resistance.
