Thanks for posting this. Very interesting study. I can clearly see the importance of this for serious and dedicated astrophotographers. Looks like it may cause some to re-evaluate their equipment selection. Not sure about the implications for more casual "astrophotographers"...Too bad that the users have no control over the filtering.

Hope it helps some. I had a couple other reasons for posting this. I've seen hours processing my images thinking I was doing something wrong or that I'd gotten bad copies of lenses that was causing the muddy stars I got from the X-T2. But it was the filtering.

Makes me PO'd that Fuji hasn't owned up to this & that's the another reason for the post. Sony has acknowledged what they do.

Couple of things. First, do you think that this type of filtering has an effect on general photography (other than astrophotography) and secondly, could Fujifilm implement some sort of a "switch" if they wanted to?
