Got a try out of a Tamron 15-30 2.8 on the D850. Stunning lens, beats the 14-24mm hands down optically and the sunstars are much nicer.

Hey, thanks. It's well controlled IMO, I always try to hold these babies level where possible in the composition. Got another shot I'll post at some point with it. I shot for years with the 14-24mm and this is optically better in every way (stands to reason as it's a more modern design). The edge frames are much cleaner and sharper and the field curvature is much less pronounced. The 14-24 is not a flat field lens by any stretch, and it's sunstars positively suck. The Tammy is great, from f/8 onwards they improve. f/11-22 is the most striking sunstar area though, of course.
Also, the Tammy is a damn sight cheaper here in the UK, and IMO it's just as well built as the nikkor. Only downside is the Tammy isn't as wide, it's probably a touch nearer 16mm actually, and that is a difference at this angle, but still, I think workable. My D850 loves it. ;-)

Neep Lantern. The turnip, or neep lantern has been traditional for hundreds of years on this night in Scotland and Ireland to ward off evil spirits, long before the influence of pumpkins came about. Halloween can be traced back to the festival Samhain (summer's end). It was believed by the Celts that on the night of the 31st of October the ghosts of the dead could walk the earth.
And from our patriot, Robert Burns:
Some merry, friendly, country-folks
Together did convene,
To burn their nits, an’ pou their stocks,
An’ haud their Hallowe’en
Fu’ blythe that night…..
Happy Halloween to all. 👻
