Re: [APML] Zenitar 16mm f/2.8

[Stuart Heggie <stuart.j.heggie@sympatico.ca>]

Dominic - make that four! Mine arrived on Tuesday and I've had it out 
two nights for 3 to 4 hour star trails at f/8. I think last night I had 
the focus ring off infinity (at least over a sleepy breakfast it wasn't 
at infinity!). Thunderstorms tonight but it is raining so I'm not going 
out for lightning shots.

I will post anything worth seeing. Also, thanks for the reminder about 
f2.8. This weekend it was going to get the job of an all-sky photo opp 
riding on my SP mount - I'll stop it down a half and a full stop.
