Aug 4, 2022 · The positive side is that it's very sharp for a long zoom, especially at the 500mm end, and since it does stop down automatically it's relatively easy to focus manually. I think the moon picture is sharper than pictures I've taken with the prime lens, the same applies to most of the statuary etc. in the album linked above.

Nov 9, 2024 · Taken in the evening of 12/6/24 with K1 II and the 24-70mm f2.8 at 70mm at f5.6. Took picture of conjunction of the moon and Jupiter on one of the few clear evenings in Portland, OR. Upon post processing noticed the object to the lower left of the moon. I'm sure it is just a jet plane but it sure looks like a flying saucer.

Sep 10, 2022 · The fantastic image at 35mm that SunValley (Francois) recently posted of the region around the Pleiades and the California Nebula, inspires me to consider some sort of deep mosaic of that entire region of the sky. If the weather is decent the next couple of new-moon periods, maybe continue that into Orion.

Jan 22, 2024 · The lens designers at Takumar must have had some love affair with the 200mm as they produced four M42 screwmount lenses; the f3.5 (preset), f5.6 (preset) and the f4 (two variants).

Feb 25, 2016 · If you only use it once in a blue moon an older cheap Nikon (sb-26 / sb-28 / sb-28 dx) / Cannon flash off Ebay will do - and given their build quality they will last you ages. [Or if it has to be new Godox, rather than Yunogo, would be my tip for low price, high build quality option.]
