Description

I received this lens as a retirement gift and this is the first light with it. I thought I had it stopped down to f/2.8 but the pixel scale suggest that it was wide open at f/1.4 according to my calculations. The lens seems to perform well so far but next time I want to test at f/4 to try and clean up the edges. I have not processed OSC in quite a while so that was also a bit of a challenge. Thanks for looking.
