I didn't know a 8/2.8 version of this lens existed. Did you compare it against 8/3.5? |

It's pretty new and only for NEX and MFT
The F2.8 version is much smaller (like a 50mm lens) an slightly sharper at wide apertures
But F3.5 version has much more "harmonic" distortion - it's easier to make a good composition and landscapes with it imho.
I sometimes regret that I swapped them.

As an amateur astronomer, I find these photos very nice. It's really quite amazing what you can do nowadays with modern digital equipment.
Just curious -- is there some reason why you didn't color correct the images? Oh, in a hurry, I see. Hope you don't mind?
It wasn't as easy to get a halfway decent color correction as I thought it would be. I like the way the post-sunset glow persists at the horizon, despite the color correction. Also, the trails left by aircraft running lights in the first photo give us an idea as to how long your shutter was open. I'm guessing somewhere between 30 seconds and a minute. Much longer than that and your point sources would look like comets.

The first moment I saw the original post I thought "white balance!".
Then again, it's simply being artistic to do what you want with the WB.
I don't think it's essential to correct WB in a photo of the stars, they can have any WB they want!
I like both the corrected and uncorrected versions.

Very true, as works of art, they can stand on their own merit. But in defense of WB, by doing so it brought out the subtle post-sunset colors along the horizon that were overpowered by the strong magenta cast. Also, most stars are not pure white (which is one thing that makes WB adjustments difficult), but run the gamut from blue to red. By doing a reasonably good job at WB correction -- and not saying that I was really able to pull it off, although I did try -- the stars' natural colors are able to shine through. Ergh -- pun intended, I suppose.
