re short range lens

Our property is two hours N.W of brissy,up near Blackbutt,not that far from Linville (astrofest venue).

Date was a suggestion only,i have been thinking about putting idea to the forum for a while,I know there is a few keen nature/star photographers in Brissy/Ippy area-Dennis,Alex,David,Matt etc,so if you chaps

want to car pool/whatever suits,there is sleeping space aval in observatory,it quite comfy in there.

RE lens,Matt suugested 17-40,i forgot to say in last post,that alot of the use for this lens is inside use,and where lighting may not be bright,so that is the reason for leaning toward a F 2.8 feature,

I am not in hurry to purchase new lens,so happy to wait till we get a chance to meet up somewhere to have a closer look at your lens Troy.
Also tides gone out a bit-after purchase of the two recent L's.

regards Chris
