One more thought. In my previous life I was an electrician (for the power company). looking at this second image gives me nightmares. Actually, I have seen worse in other countries.

I had heard (I'm sure Curtis mentioned it) that the ais version is much better in that regard (sharper at infinity) than the earlier versions. May I ask what versions you have/had Kevin?

The quiet streets of Mdina as sunset slipped into a very short blue hour.
Knowing what I now know about this wonderful walled city I’d like to go back with night photography being the sole purpose.
Alas, that is unlikely to happen since there are other places my wife and I want to visit.
