However, I would keep your lenses at the ready, because there will be more eclipses soon. Lunar eclipses occur twice per year. I shot at least two since 2008, and there may have been another 1-2 in that period as well. I remember two were within about 14-15 months of each other. Total eclipses are rare, but penumbral eclipses happen much more frequently. Shadow is shadow - so a penumbral eclipse looks just like a total eclipse just brighter. (as long as the penumbral shadow covers the disk of the moon)

For shooting the lunar eclipse, I called an audible at game time (3am) and went with the GFX 50S and Reflex 1000mm. Needed the moveable EVF on the 50S for viewing and focusing.
I have a lot of images to sort through and cull this weekend, but posting one this morning.

Nice call using the GFX, turned out great. I'm impressed with you and Samy for sacrificing your sleep in order to capture this. Now, in 600 years, you guys can do it again!
Well, at the moment, the longest lens I have is a 200mm equivalent, that's using the 50-135mm. I've been thinking of getting a long lens, but I'm not sure how much I'd use it to justify the cost.
If you get a 300/4, I have a TC-300 that I will send you.
