I was spurred on by an amazing image earlier this year with wider FOV (50mm?) that showed both LMC and SMC in the same field. That shot blew my mind a little

Ouch! Look forward to see what the XT2 is capable of! Given that it has considerably smaller pixels than the 8.445 micron the D700 has, you should be able to resolve it all a bit nicer with similar FOV.
