Probably.. But new toys are just so tempting...

Marcus Davies said it best - He who dies with the most toys wins... Considering I'm 24yo, I'm off to a good start.. Got plenty of years left for toy acquisition..

Very nice colours and detail Martin.
I love the crop and the full frame just as much.
I wish I could frame some of these objects as well as you
guys with ED80s.

And Strongmanmike, hey , don't be so hard on the young Alex
He wasn't born when us dinosaurs were using terms like reciprocity
failure

Thank you Steve
I have seen your images and see what you mean, you need a ED80
The DSIII with the 12"f5 makes for some fine close up images and that is what i sometimes wish to have, when doing galaxy work.
And you have it the other way around
Might have to use my 6" 1250mm achromat for that
