3. are faster (or could be used stopped down for even better IQ).

Unless of course, telescope it must be. In which case: Back to normal programming -

I have a number of good lenses. In fact for the last several months I have been imaging with a Pentax 645 double ED F4 lens stopped down to 58mm.

Its a good performer. The 67 300mm F4 EDIF will also work on a 16803 chip. The 645 may.


Greg.
