IR B/W Milky Way

[E_ri_k (Erik)]

Just playing with a new lens. Canon 40mm STM. I used my IR modded 20D and shot in B/W just to try something different. Only a little coma in the corners, had it stopped at f3.6. 10 x 2.5 minute subs on the HEQ5 PRO.

It's a pretty cool little lens, very compact and good for everyday stuff too.

Very good Erik. I did some IR filtered mono CCD shots with a Nikon 50mm last year. They end up being much the same as straight luminance though.

Thanks Greg, yes, it's very much the same as anything else really.

Thanks Mike, yeah I'm hoping so. Cant wait to get the 5D up and running to test it out properly!

It's a nice photo Erik. I really like that lens, the test reports give it a big thumbs up.
Wonder how it would go on an extension tube for macro work???
Anyhoo, looking forward to seeing some more - Trev
