Bob, really appreciated, thanks!

^This. Even the Sony a7siii that everyone thinks is great because it has only 12MP, is downsizing from about a 47MP sensor...

Thanks!

Thank you. I knew for my area about 3-4 hours could get them to come out well so glad I pushed for 4.5. My plan next is to concentrate on the Integrated Flux Nebula (IFN) around polaris.

200mm f/2.8 stopped down to f/4.5, IS0 1600, 2 min subs (4.5 hours) This one is a bit of a labour of love. A few days' ago, I took my camera outside into my back garden in Scotland and sat on it my ...

I'll agree the nikon 20 isn't all bad of course but...seriously I've 3 mates that have one...every single one was decentered in some form on receipt, two badly that we where seeing blur on one ...

Hey thanks for your thoughts. Yeah...I am sitting somewhere in the middle these days because whilst I am a nikon guy; they aren't necessarily the best choice for astro work and I do a hefty amount ...

No problem! Love the gear shot with you in it! A true nikon paradise.

Okay, I misread - you never mentioned e mount I'll hold my hands up but you did speak about restrictive mount diameter so this is why I went on to state something about e mount which is the ...

I don't think they have demonstrated the advantages as well as you think though. Since you mentioned it - sony's oh so restrictive e mount. Their recently designed 20 1.8 is about half the weight ...

m_black My comments are not speculative...this is brand loyalty, awareness, value 101. Always ensure you keep your customers, don't give them a single reason to consider another brand. Not...

m_black Until a fully working AF, af-d adapter is released your comments are purely speculative; it also hurts the nikon brand going forward.

Nikon are a joke with this these days really. They got better things to do they tell us, other priorities! What like releasing low end camera's in cute colours?

Beautiful work.

I recon ML would have been endgame even at that time considering future planning. IIRC the Z cams appeared 2018. They were probably like what's the point? But then it begs the question why bother ...

A beaut!

Cute shot.

Yeh the 50 is meant to be good. Quite close to the 35 so I can understand the jump in FL. Really hoping nikon brings out a body I'm looking for this year.

Absolutely. 65mm is an unusual length for me so I am hoping for some wider options from them in future...The 35mm will be a must have when I buy a Z8 or whatever is coming...

Yeh I have heard good things about those voigt Apo's for landscape and astro use - good to hear this is your experience also. I wish voigt would do a 24 or 20mm Apo (will be more difficult of ...
