Hello everyone
I said I would come back and let you know what I opted for.
I bought the new Canon T2i Rebel (550D), and sent it off to Hap Griffin straight away to have it modded while I worked through the manual.
I then did a lot of reading about lenses and opted for a fixed FL, the 85mm f1.8 USM lens.
I received that yesterday, and mounted the camera next to my FSQ and off I went.
I have to say I am shockingly disappointed. The first images (60 secs, ISO 800) were just terrible. Huge coma. I also thought I had achieved a good focus, but the images were dreadfully out of focus, suggesting th lens focus position moved during a slew.
I stopped the lens down 2 stops to f2.2, to no avail. So I will try f4 next.
I thought the fixed focal length lens were supposed to be far superior to telephoto lens. I also understand this is an APS-C format camera, so it physically isnt full 35mm frame format, like the 1D etc.
So, right now, very disappointed.
tips anyone?
cheers
Martin
