​Damn Good for 3200 - Louis!

 

​Cheers,

LOL

In the past, I used 3200 a few times and I have always been surprised of the result!... This damn T has been under graded from the beginning!... But such a lovely camera!

BTW, Rick, your 200 mm gives really nice and sharp photos. Now you encouraged me to test my 300 mm! ;)

"Where to from here? It certainly is handy to use the M (and occasionally, R) lenses, but to me the simplest and most logical option is to simply use the T(L) lenses. If a nice stationary flower shot presents itself, and the tripod is involved then it's a no-brainer, use the Micro Nikkor. But chasing grand-children, or hand-held macro shots, no way.

Yes Gary, in the end, the autofocus Leica T lenses are the easiest to use -- and they are really very, very good lenses... I found that out for sure while on my trip to Cuba.  Walking around with the 18-56 was far more productive than attempting to use the manual focus primes that I had brought along.  If there is any improvement in IQ by using the adapted Zeiss and Leica R lenses, it is far outweighed by the ease of use, and equally outstanding quality of the Leica T zooms.  The only exception for me is using the 55micro Nikkor  on a tripod in the studio setting - obviously the slow and methodical approach is needed no matter what lens one is using.

Exactamondo Rick, you've hit it on the head perfectly. I am also finding the T23mm Summicron a very nice and handy lens.

Following Ricks lead, I too have played a bit with a tele.

This is my astro scope, 65mm aperture, and f6.5. "about" 420mm focal length.

Neighbours that arrived yesterday, and this was mid morning, so they were sort of active.

Thought an "equipment" shot might help.

Thanks Rick.

I've used the AstroTech quite a bit at night Rick, but usually with the old Fuji X-E1.

When I first got a T, I tried it on the end of the scope, and also on the 10" f5 newt I have (on the moon). Biggest issue was the limit of 30 seconds exposure. With the X-E1 I can go, 2 minutes, and have even done 10 - 15 minutes.

The T with 30 secs, well, it is OK, sort of, but not really.

Also, at the time I tried it, the connectivity with the app was patchy at best. I am all Android, and now there is an Android app I might try it again.

Watch this space, LOL.

Nice shot Blue.

I was thinking to try the same tonight, just been around the farm, it's still and will be cold, but will be clear as well.

I'll see how I feel later, worth a look anyway.

Just back from trying it, seeing is not perfect, clear and crisp, but wobbly.

Used the T, ISO400, 1/800th second, and the home-made 10" f5 newtonion scope. Alt/az mount, so used the self timer so I didn't disturb the scope.

Not perfect, but fun. They way to shoot these sorts of shots is with a fancy webcam, shooting a gazzillion shots, then stacking and discarding the lesser quality ones, making a "perfect" image.

Thank you Rick.

Honestly, it was 5 mins of work. Took longer to walk to the hangar where I store my astro stuff, wheel the old newt out, attach the camera to the focuser tube, and align the moon. Took two shots after focusing at 6x. Used M, wanted the hutter speed as high as I could get, and used ISO400 for this. Wheeled it all back and walked back to the house. 15 mins tops.

 

I'll try some star fields once the moon wanes, and the weather gets better.

A Few Friends!

 

Nikkor 85 mm has always been my favorite lens. It is sharp and gives great color rendering! It is not very practical for every day shoot; more specially with a APS-C sensor; but I always enjoy using it.
