+1..with minor edit :)

Pretty assine perspective imo you are claiming that worn equivalent aperture theory, (which fwiw the majority of folk either don't know or care about), and completely ignoring the very important, ...

I do not agree, or more accurately, you are not entirely correct. a) If i stack unprocessed wideangle lens shots from RAW you comment is valid..... centre stars are pinpoints, and at the edges, ...

please be aware that your response in no way shape or form actually addressed anything that the OP was asking... so why bother to respond? like really. Astroimaging is interpretive art.. not true ...

iso 3200 28mm f2.8 & 15 sec exposure will get you the milky way.. at this time of year to the south after midnight.. want to make it better?..  research stacking photos. iso 100 200mm 1/500th sec ...

read the prior post by astrophotographer 10.. its pretty much my workflow also. 1. IF you have foreground, forget stacking in photoshop. Sequator allows you to mask off foreground to prevent it ...

"Sony is on its 9th full frame camera"... that says it all.. perhaps Canikon are waiting for the technology to be good enough and stable enough to offer their customers without gas striking them in...

Well, we are all entitled to an opinion.. I simply do not share yours.. The love fest for Sony, when they are following the curve that Canon and Nikon did 10 years ago (new model every year) to me...

Sorry for any confusion.. I was actually not suggesting stacking in LR, simply batch processing the RAW files and exporting them to 16 bit tif.. These are then subsequently stacked in software of ...

Regarding #4.. imo Yes.. I imported a stack of RAW images to sequator and was not particualrly impressed with the output.. So in ACDSee (quicker than LR) I created a develop process  that uses the ...

Well yes, you are right.. but not really. :) Given that the exact same process can be used on the faster lens.. then a faster lens will always be a faster lens, and between the two zooms of choice ...

Personally i would take the aperture over the focal length.. The 70-200 will cut your imaging time by half ..thats a big deal and remember you will always be able to crop, but you can never make a ...

the em1 has far superior ergonomics to the em10.. and will balance the 75-300 better

There is absolutely nothing that Sony offers that in any way shape or form would either: a) add enjoyment to my photography, or b) make me a better photographer nuff said

If you are not planning on major activity in post production, I can suggest the Olympus OMD-EM10 III, or the (better) OMD-EM5 II The greatest single advantage to this (series of Olympus) camera is ...

I also ran into this when i simply dumped the RAW files from a series into Sequator... I guess i independently figured it out, and so what i did was develop one RAW file with lens correction (and ...

no laugh required :) since i use the clamp sideways, with the knob under the camera body, portrait mode.......

this is simply too broad a question... have a telephoto lens?.. use that.. have a DSLR? use that, have a tripod?.. use that.. have a wideangle lens?.. use that. so, my response is, 1. use whatever ...

hmm,  that was actually the major problem with my gf's ballhead, except the reverse..the pan motion was locked solid...but was well after the return window so was burned. its a shame to hear you ...

I have Benro B1, B2, and B3 ballheads, for three benro tripods, a 2 series travel flat, a 2 series aluminium mach 3 and a carbon 3 series mach 3 So.. as my girlfriend is just starting in ...
