Re: You do not need FF here is an example.

You can do some awesome things with MFT cameras and sensors. One of their largest advantage is that most scopes do not vignette the sensor as they do with larger sensors. I often see many photos that have huge integration time added to them to compensate for the vignetting.

That touches on an excellent point, sometimes people forget to check off axis performance to see how well the scope performs for the given format.  It depends on what your capturing and what your standards are as to how much off-axis degradation you will accept.  If you are capturing nightscapes you might be less worried about off-axis performance than say somebody who is doing Deep Sky imaging.

Peter, what sort of scope are you using?
