Honestly, Ken Rockwell has good compatibility charts on his site for what lenses can/can't do on film bodies.

I can't believe I said that haha

....okay fine, I used to go to his site and model my settings after his suggestions when I first got my d90.

There.

Took this photo last night. Was really impressed how well this did for night photography. It was slightly sharper than my Sigma 35mm which is quite the feat imo.

I meant to ask you Corey if that massive flare this week would be seen in your area; looks like it was.

The flare had no CME, which is what causes the lights. I headed out anyways as there was some hints at some geomagnetic activity regardless. Was lucky to catch these as there was very little activity.

The x2 didn't have much oomph according to http://www.solarham.net

Tonight and tomorrow night there may be increased solar activity though. I'm a bit confused by it all to be honest. It is overcast here right now so I'm doing my best to drink some Orange Brandy.

I got star trails at 13 seconds so I knocked it back to 10 and the trailing is very very minor. I wouldn't go higher than 10 seconds though especially with a D800

I have too. If you put those pics on a white background they look horribly color cast. I don't get it.

That swirl? $hit that's part of what makes this thing...to add that's a busy backdrop. Only a few lenses can render it as smooth and as good. The 58G handles it like a walk in the park.
