A couples of nights ago we had a clear sky. I took some photos of the galaxy M81. That galaxy I have some photos from with my older equipment and I can now compare the two systems.
The Nikon D800 & Pentax 645 FA 300mm ED f/4
vs
Canon 6D & Pentax 645 300mm ED f/4
Of course not perfect control of the environment but still very exciting to compare them. That's important for me, which camera shall I spent the time with and which lens ? One of the cameras I will remove the filters from and the mirror as well.
Here is the first images to compare and some data I have collected about the cameras:

There isn't much difference, but I prefer the Nikon D800 with the Pentax FA lens.
Do you feel the same ?
