[FOOTPRINT]

Hi All,
Im a bit late responding to all the replies, better late than never, First I should have been a bit more detailed in my query, I did of course mean the Canon Lenses as supplied with the Camera (EOS300D or EOS350D), as the related picture was taken through same.

Andrew- the Pix. I posted was 4 x 6 Min. at ISO800, DF removed-Canon EFS 18-55mm Lens , at 18 mm, -EOS300D (modded) guided LX200/10"-MX7C-Astroart- processed with IP.

Thanks for the comparisons on ED/UD glass upmarket lenses to the supplied Camera Lenses, I must agree, one gets what one pays for (hopefully).

While we are on the subject, any ideas on "Mirror" type Camera Lenses, I believe they have a lens in the light path also, wonder if this would upset the colour collimation as it is very close to the image sensor element ???

cheers.................Jim
