Hi Leon

No one should be blasted out of the water for describing their experiences, techniques, approach or set up. There is always something to learn from each other and without the healthy exchange of information here on IIS, I’m sure we’d all be the poorer in our hobby.!

A scenario where the Bahtinov Mask really shines, for me, is in long focal length imaging. Trying to eyeball best focus at focal lengths of over 3000mm can be time consuming and often leaves me with a niggling doubt.

I find that the Bahtinov Mask helps me converge to best focus rapidly and confidently. But, there was life before the mask and I’m certain there is life without it too.

Cheers

Dennis
