  @@JamesBillingsPhotography Thanks for the swift reply James. I’d considered travelling to Tenerife or La Palma for astrophotography but the thought of the crowds put me off. (Most of my work is done in the far northwest of Scotland where I live, so I’m a bit spoilt with remoteness and having the place to myself!) I did go to Fuerteventura a couple of years ago, which held a lot of promise, but we had Calima for the whole week we were there, so the night sky was a write-off. I think it affects the eastern islands more than the western ones. El Hierro certainly looks promising,and I guess you had good clear air after that storm passed through.

  @JamesBillingsPhotographyАй бұрын

  @@TarrelScot I've not been to La Palma- Tenerife has the advantage of being high up (you'll see I stayed in the hotel up on the volcano which was much quieter than the resorts on the coast... but you do get tours coming up for night-sky-tour trips which were annoying, perhaps don't set up in the popular viewing spot! On El Hierro I had hoped to get the milky way behind the lighthouse in the south-west- you're obviously low down but if the sky is clear it would make a great shot. I'm considering re-visiting, maybe next year - I can't hit a cyclone twice, right? :)

• 
  @JamesBillingsPhotography4 ай бұрын

  Thanks for the comment- I think the C220 requires cocking the shutter manually (the C330 does it when you wind on), but has the advantage of being lighter (the C330 is a hefty thing!) - I mainly grabbed it as they're the cheaper end of "pro" TLRs as far as I can tell - snazzy Rollei's and stuff go for double the price! Looking forward to trying it out some more.

  Have you tried using normal ND filters? I remember back in the days when I had a full spectrum Canon, I accidentally left ND filter on a lens, and interestingly, it gave me a nice mix of IR and visible light, straight out of camera on a jpeg. Essentially it looked like a typical false color infrared with white leafs and grass, but with a blue sky, out of the box. I suspect that the sky was maybe blue due to some UV light passing as well. Anyways, it was nice. I think it was 4 or 6 stops UV, don't remember exactly.

•

  @jamesmlodynia87577 ай бұрын

  😂 I purchased this lens for my Nikon ZF, its the same version the MKIII, I took some test photos yesterday and two things were suprising, first photos were taken in a park that I walk our dog in and the steam flooded a section that contains some tall trees, the morning that I used the lens, the water had receded some and because of the low temperatures the water had partially froze, I did not see any distortion on the outer edges of the photos that were taken from f 8 to f 11, it was sharp across the frame and for a manual focus lens, focus is acquired very easily. Later in the day I had to do a grocery run and across from the parking lot is a river that flows under a roadway, before it goes under the road it has about a 6 foot drop, the sun was right above the river and the sky was totally clear so there was a lot of light reflecting off of the water. I would not have photographed this area at this time of day but I wanted to see if their was any lens flair and how much of a sun star I would get. I shot from f8 to f 11 their was no lens flair and the sun had been rendered with ten perfect points in a sun star. This is not a fast lens being f 4.5 but it is small, fits perfectly with the ZF and a perfect landscapes lens where you normally shoot at apertures that give you maximum depth of field.

  I have done Macro Photography since 1980 and used a lot of different Macro Lenses, I have the Voigtländer Macro APO-Lanthar 110mm 2.5 which I use now and I can very highly recommend it ! Remember that a Macro Lens can be used for any kind of Photography (like a Swiss Knife). I never use artificial light in the nature. I have seen many reviewers criticize the focus throw of the Voigtländer Macro Lenses, but the 110mm have only 90 degree turn from infinity to 80 cm, which not is lot and in the "normal" range of most photography, in fact many macro Lenses have too short a focus throw, so focusing in the "normal" range can difficult. For macro photography is is good with a long focus throw !
