Hey Albert, gorgeous shots! I see that this lens like other UWAs can't fit filters on the from. I read that there is space in the back to put ND filters, like in the other 12-24mm lenses. How do ...

I recently bought this lens, and I am waiting for a 3rd version since the previous 2 were decentered. This lens is good at 16mm, very sharp. Since I want this to shoot astro too, sharp stars in ...

I know folks that have the A7rIV and complain that has worst noise in the darks compared to the A7R3. I have the A7R3 and works fine. If you like much wider shots then you could wait for the 14mm ...

Vieri, Both are really nice. I really resonate with the  Vestrahorn shot; amazing place. I was there only once and in the summer, blue sky (and boring). I'd love to visit in the winter again.

This is a painful issue for me, and I am guessing it's also for many others. Every year one of my new year resolutions is to delete more, but I still keep too many. I actually use a similar ...

Yes, I need to generate a mask for another program. I made progress... so I think i'm ok now. thanks all.

I don't know what this means in DxO since I don't use it. Doing this in LR/ACR usually means some default sharpening (unless this is removed intentionally). I ask because sharpening can generate ...

Gary, Thanks a lot; i'll try to replicate your steps.

Did you apply any sharpening to the images before stacking?

Shooting astroscapes with trees brings a whole new set of challenges: In the shot below, I need to isolate the sky and create a mask with pure black corresponding to anything that is not sky (then ...

:-) You'll get there, I trust you Yes, my base ISO is 1600. I am assuming you use RAW and some photo editor. the white slider controls the whitest part of the histogram so if you increase total ...

@ devilsmarbles , i've been shooting nightscapes with the Fuji XT3 for a couple of years and I moved to Sony about 1/2 a year ago. I still keep the XT3 and a few lenses; some things are way more ...

Thanks TristanW and others who replied. Those 12-24/14-24 look nice but big and heavy! And the filter solution means buying even more things.  I want the open aperture for astroscapes, but then for ...

Yes, and the Tamron is better in that range. In terms of resolution. The Tamron has more vignetting and as I said, that can be corrected.

I recently bought this WA zoom, hoping for 1) an excellent landscape/astro zoom, 2) better IQ than the 17-28mm Tamron I use already. Disclaimer: I said in the title "for landscape photography" so ...

+1 on FM.com, Everything is very fair there.

Yes, I am aware of that program and I almost pull the plug once :)

Thanks for your detailed answer, yes, it gives a great perspective and that gets me even more depressed when it comes to buying a lens that we hope to use for astro work. What are we consumers to ...

Yes, I bought a "jack of all trades" lens for walkabouts or cases when I am hiking and I don't want to take more/heavier lenses. The shot I posted originally was in one of those hikes, snowshoes ...

Hi Roger, I take it you are from Lensrentals? You hit it right on, my experience renting lenses for general photography has been great but pretty bad for astrophotography. If you test all your ...
