Re: Anybody using MFT bodies for astrophotography?

I have started doing some wide field astrophotography throughout summer with reasonable results. I am doing Milky Way with landscape type shots.

My GX7 was totally useless for this, but the GX8 is doing well. The biggest problem for me is lack of either suitable lenses or skill plus expertise.

I haven't figured out how to do astro landscape stitching yet so I need a wide lens and the nine millimetre Olympus is not fast enough at F4 and the 7 millimetre Olympus f2.8 is not sharp in the corners wide open so I'm not quite sure of my next step.
