Thanks Jorge. I was staying in one of the small houses on the cliff and watched the storm roll in. Great fun !

Yes, I agree. Stopping down fast primes a stop or two is the norm. The 50 Macro Planner is quite good in that respect probably due to being a slower lens design. For astrophotography with DSLRs the problem for me is the lack of 'red' which is filtered out by the IR filter. Canon have a partial solution to this with their D60a. Of course serious astrophotographers use dedicated monochrome astro CCD cameras and filters. I have a permanently mounted telescope on a large equatorial mount and living down here dont really have the light pollution issues. Plenty of cloud though.

Dunedin, NZ - 46 South. Yes stopping down would improve the coma but of course increase the exposure.

Thanks for the kudos. Istanbul is a great place to shoot with the 35 ZE 1.4

Yes, I enjoy shooting with the 35mm f1.4. It's my favourite lens for this kind of shot.

I wanted to put my camera down and help him but in the end I took the shot. In the narrow streets of the old part of Istanbul nearly all the goods are delivered this way.

The image was taken shortly after sunrise just before a storm hit from the Southern Ocean.

Thanks guys. I was quite amazed with the blue colur of the two galaxies. Evidently they are full of blue hot super giant stars.
