What a great video Brent and I found it very helpful indeed, i was looking at getting a lens for Astro, so we’ll timed. I think I will go for the Sam yang. Have a good winter season! P.S im in Wales, UK and my favourite constellation is Pleiades, the reason being, its a great way to spur youngsters interest in astro, as I always ask "how many stars can you count in that constellation?" it gets them starting to really look.

Another great gear video - just moved into Canon and the R6, so I have a lot to learn about the RF and EF series. Regarding the RF35, would you recommend that over the adapted EF 35 IS USM? Some of the wide RF primes seem to be relying a great deal on in-camera or post-process correction. Perhaps I’m just old/old-fashioned.

Also regarding Lumecube, I found an unexpected non photography use for my Panel-Pro; shark tooth hunting at night on vacation in South Carolina. And one more thing you reminded me that I should buy an RF T-mount to replace my old EF. If you don't mind which one did you get? Thank You! Terry

From Utah and my favorite constellation is Cassiopeia. It is my sanity check for locating Polaris as the sky starts to get dark - and it matches my initial :) Could you speak about the Orion image at the 0:09 mark? It looks like you used a diffusion filter of some sort. It gets expensive to keep buying filters only to have them be too strong or not strong enough. Take care.

@BrentHall8 ай бұрын
The 15-35 is an amazing lens and great for astro and landscape. It's just too expensive and big and heavy for my needs. Plus, I already have the 24-70 and 24 1.8, which is kind of an overlap. I personally have kind of quit doing ultra wide astro stuff. Lately, I've been enjoying longer focal lengths for it, and if I want to go wider, I'll either do a pano or use my 16-35mm. That's just me, though.

Hey@@BrentHall I have an R6 but am tempted by the Sony a7iv. I shoot a lot of sports, some landscapes, but really want to get into astro as it fits in with my backcountry experiences. I'm super happy with the low light performance of the R6, buy wondering what your opinion is with only 20MP. Love the R5, but it's just a little out of my price range.
@BrentHall2 жыл бұрын
@@sunnyvalejedi Well first off, I've never used that Sony, so I couldn't give any opinions on it or how does against the Canons. All I can tell you is I've personally never had an issue with with 20mp of the R6. I've printed quite big with it (4x6 ft) I've cropped pretty heavily, and often with wildlife and still had no issues with getting usable images for clients, social media and smaller prints. I've also never had a client tell me that 20 mp wasn't good enough or that anyof my my R6 delivered images were not good enough. That's just my experiences though. The AF and low light capabilities of the R^ are amazing and totally worth it for me.

Hey Brent, I have completely enjoyed the simple, easy to follow and understand videos you put out. I hope you will be able to answer this for me :) You mention "piggy backing" you lens (I think you referred to the RF 85?) on your telescope....can you please explain how you do this?? Maybe a photo of how it looks? :) I am familiar (and have an adapter for my R6/telescope) but unsure of how to use it with the lens attached?? I'm going to a "Dark Sky" area here in FL, in about a month and would love to be ready to use the lens/s if I could figure this out :) Sorry if this should be something I should know already, but enjoying the learning process.

Personally, I haven't been doing too much super wide astro stuff lately. I like the 24 and 35 better for the kind of shots I've been doing. I also kind of started to dislike not having an actual af switch on the 16. I ended up selling the 16 and picking up the 14-35, which I use for astro sometimes, but mostly for landscape and filming.

Hey Brent. Very useful vid. I shoot on Fuji, and recently began exploring MW astro on the East Coast, from Maine to West Virginia.

So far, I've done only limited light painting for foregrounds, but will definitely look into Lume Cube options. Cheers

Well I would love to have that lens, for sure, but unless I win the lottery or get an absolutely massive commercial client deal or something, I won't be getting that thing anytime soon.

No, I didn't mention that lens, though I did briefly mention that Sigma had a few options. I haven't tried that one.

I would think it the Sigma 14 would be a decent option, though I think it would probably have some significant coma (but I personally don't really care as much about that).

@@BrentHall I've used the Sigma 14mm art for Sony A7RIII. The center of the shots were clear but the coma was very pronounced. Another drawback is the size of the Sigma 14mm. It is huge and heavy on mirrorless. I use a Sony 20mm f1.8 now.
