Test images EF 50mm F/1.8 lens.

Hi,
Here's a couple of test images from my EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens. Quite happy with the results, certainly a lot sharper than the stock 55 to 70mm zoom lens.
Both images were at f/ 4.5 ISO 800, 15 minutes for Crux and 35 minutes for Rho Oph.
Cheers,
Justin.

Good work Justin.

Thanks Andrew, Rick and David!

Most of the time I try to frame up , the Antares image was just a fluke.

Cheers,

Justin.

Nice pics there Nathan. It's a fantastic little lens for the price.

Two nice captures Justin.

The 50mm lens is sharp and has a great, wide FOV.

Thanks Rob!

Yes pretty happy so far, I've been lucky with my imaging equipement, no lemons yet.

Cheers,
