Some people think I'm in the fortunate position of having all of the time in the world, I haven't worked for over 30 years, no good without the health (or finances but primarily health, money is no good if you can't enjoy it) to go out and do what I need and if I had the health I'd be earning decent money like I did when younger and not have the time to enjoy it. The balance is hard to find and I've come to learn you are an incredibly smart man and I'm sure the work that goes with it consumes more time than play time (and your son is incredibly musically gifted).
Do you use masks to get the focus right or done by eye?
Did you use any sort of adjustable screw to get the lenses allligned?
I'm just thinking the nylon bolts cheap from China would be beneficial for that purpose without risking damage from a steel unit on the lenses.
Live view is supposed to be better on the D850 in the absolute dark but the D810 it's nothing more than white noise and beyond useless to me in the dark, maybe if I turned the ISO down but I'm sure I've tried that, right down to 64.
I did get to play with a 5D Mk-IV belonging to a friend and it's live view was amazing in the dark skies on a friends farm locally. The chap even wanted me to take his $20K telephoto lens and play with it but I declined the kind offer (he doesn't let anyone else touch his maybe 600mm, big whatever). I did eventually end up with his original 5D here (and bought an adapter for my Nikon lenses to fit) to play with before I got the D810 though it didn't have live view.
I also noticed the same 14mm lens on the Canon gave a slightly wider field of view of the MW or I may have been using an original Canon lens on the MK-IV, I don't remember, I think they have a very similar sized sensor, nice camera but no good to someone with a decent collection of old Nikon lenses as a primary unit.
